SENATOR MADE SIDE MONEY AS ATTORNEY Itroaa- Evidence Tcmdlno; to Show tkat He Did Xot Receive Fees, for His Otttclal ' Islseace, ' ST. LOUIS, March 2i Tha government rested It case lata today In the trial of United Status Senator Joseph R. Burton of Kansas, who la- charged with having illeg ally accepted fees from the Rialto Grain and Securities company of St. Loula. The aotlon of the government came aa a sur prise to the defense. Shortly after Judge Cheater II. Krum, for the defense, had started his opening address Senator Burton and Frederick Lehmann, aasoclate counsel for the defense, held a hasty consultation, and Mr. Lehmann, Interrupting Judge Krum, secured a continuance until tomor row morning. In concluding ita evidence the government ahowed by the testimony of Chief Post mastor Cochran of Washington that he had been requested by Senator Burton to call at his (Burton's) office on the after noon thaf Senator Burton'a Indictment was made publlo in Washington. Inspector Cochran testified that Burton had asked him on what charge the indlotment had been returned. "I told him," continued Cochran, that aa I had been a witness before the grand jury, I could not discuss th evidence, but tht the indictment was found under section No. 1782 of the Revised Statutes. Burton told me that h had appeared before the Poatofflce department, not as a United Statea senator, but simply aa an attorney for the Rialto Drain and Securities com pany. I pointed out to him that my under standing of the aectlon of the atatutea was that the fact that he had acted aa the at torney for the Rialto company was re sponsible for hla indictment." Cochran waa recalled and in reply to questions said: "Senator Burton called me to hla offloe, told me that he wished to represent the Rialto company In matters before the de partment, for which he waa to receive a large fee. This waa on February 6. before there waa any complaint. He assured me that he did not wish to antagonise the de partment. He alao aold that he had con sulted several of his colleagues In the aen ate and they assured him that his connec tion with the Rialto company waa legal and that many aenatora had Increased their incomes In similar ways. Senator Burton said that he had lost 170,000 recently, for which he waa not legally responsible, but which he wished to repay, and that hla fees would revert to that use." W. J. Vlckery. chief poatofflce Inspector at Cincinnati, testified that he had accom panied Inspector Cochran to Senator Bur ton'a office on the evening that the Indict ment became known in Washington. He aubatantlated Cochran's teatimony and tes tified that Burton said that he had ap peared only aa an attorney for the Rialto company before the Postofflce department and not aa a United States senator. Hector McRea testified that he waa comp troller for the Rialto company on March M. ISOt "I waa called into the office of Mr. Mahaney. the vice president, and there met Senator Burton. Mr. Mahaney, in the ereeenc4 of Senator Burton, told me that the senator had severed his connection with the Rialto company, giving as his reasons that aril maeters before the Postofflce de partment had been cleaned up." Who are the real Enemies of The Republic Not political bosses, not the "grafters" they are the tools but the business men who bribe legislators into betraying the trust of the people. Political corruption of this sort is treason government by the few, not the many a revolution by bribes, not by bullets.
