Senator Burton's testimony in the be- ginning followed closely that given in the former trial, with the exception that in describing his conversation with Thomas B. Harlan in regard to what the lat- ter has already testified, Senator Bur- ton laid special stress upon the fact that before the conversation relating to his employment by the Rialto Company was started the tfain in which they were en route from Bt. Louis to Chicago had crossed the Mississippi and was in 1lli- nois, outside the jurisdicuon of the court before which the case is being tried. Senator Burton testified that during his conversation with Harlan, who was the representative of the Rialto Company, he used the following words in connection with his proposed employment: “‘Now, Mr. Harlan, let me understand you. I am a Senator. This company is using the mails extepsively. Is it con- templated im any way That I am expected to use any influence in the department, directly or indirectly?” His answer was He said: ‘No, Senator; we do not want any influence in the de- partment.” " In referring to the compensation offered | by the Rialto Company in connection with his employment as counsel'to appear in | the defense of its president, Major Den- nis, Senator Burton said: “I told him that I did not want to en- ter a casea of that kind as counsel for a rich firm for a nominal fee of $400 or $500, and suggested a contract of $500 a month for five months.” STRONG DENTAL BY SENATOR. The eyes of all in court were fastened on Burton as his counsel asked him whether or not he remembered the con- versation relative to his employment by the National Securities Company as re- lated yesterday by Charles H. Brooks, witness for the prosecution. “No,” almost shouted Burton, intently leaning forward as if to emphasize his answer. In rebuttal W. J. Vickery and W. E. Cochran, postoffice Inspectors, testified that the following statement was not made by Senator Burton in their presence, | as testified to by the Senator: “I (Senator Burton) cannot be employed for any sum to appear as an attorney be- fore the Postoffice Department.” During his cross-examination by Dis- trict Atorney Dyer, Senator Burton, by his replies to the following questions, con- troverted the testimony of witnesses placed on the stand by the prosecution: “Were there no letters destroyed in your presence by Mahaney when you were in his office?” “No, sir.” “Was there anything said at that time by you that before leaving Washington you had visited the department and found that there were no claims or com- plaints against the Rialto Grain and Se- curities Company?”’ “Not a word sald about that.” “Did you leave him upon that occasion your address in Kansas?"’ “No, sir.” “Was there anything said in that con- versation, in the presence of Mahaney and McRae, that at any time thereafter that if the company needed your services, you would be glad to give them?” “No, sir, I know there was nothing sald of that kind.” —_———— The Old and the New in Mexico, Excursionists to Mexic, leaving San Fran- clsco December 16 on tue Mne limited train, | will see much to interest them.

The Supervisors’ Finance Committee yesterday began an investigation of demands filed by various automobile firms in the aggregate sum of $910 for the hire of automobiles furnished to the Blection Commissioners. The au- tomobiles were not all used on election day, but were hired on November 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. The committee is of the opinion that the bills incurred are ex- orbitant in that such a great number of automobiles were not required for election purposes. In the past the Election Commission was content to hire a few buggles for the purpose of assisting election: officers and deputy registrars in the discharge of their du- ties. The price gharged for an auto- mobile for one day is $30, and some that were hired at night are put down for $35. The committee is desirous of knowing why the ' automobiles were hired at night and has cited the Blec- tion Commissioners and the managers of the automobile concerns to appear before it next Monday to explain. The bill of one firm is $465, while another has a bill of $190.- e —_———— ‘Who has nervous weakness? Send for pam- Em:;mnl.:ymwg-. Dre.
