Famous Press Representative
' and Indfan Fighter Victim
of Pneumonia
Major John M. Burke, press agent of
the late "Buffalo Bill" nnd nn old Indlnn
fighter, died today at tho Providence Hos
pital, Washington, of pneumonia. Ho wns
a native of Philadelphia.
Worry over tho death of his lifelong
companion, Colonel Cody, Is believed to
havo hastened Major Burke's end, nlthough
pneumonia was given as the cause of
death. Major Burko was soventy-four yrnrs
old.
Tho Major was known on several con
tinents where ho' piloted the affairs of
Buffalo Bill. Through his connection -with
the great scout ho met many royalties In
different parts of tho4rorld. He always
had n great fund of stories on hnnd and
wore a smllo which made him good com
pany wheresor ho happened to be.
Major Burko was born In Philadelphia
In the old Seventh Ward. His parents died
beforo he was two ycais old. Although In
was adopted by relatives young Burke, be
ing of nu adventurous disposition, soon
started to shift for himself.
The Major never lived In ono plnco more
than a few months nt a time during tho
Inst forty years of his life. When he reg
istered nt hotels he wrote tho words
United States opposite his name.
Ho was in Washington when that place
was threatened by General Brcckcnrldgo
nnd Goneral Karly, nnd frequently asserted
In telling of the events of tho Civil War
thnt President Lincoln was under flro In
the battto of Kort Stevens.
As tho Major was often In the public eye,
ho met every President of tho United States
slnco Buchnnnn.
He went west In 18G5, but was prevented
from crossing the plains by nn uprising of
Indians. Ho then became acquainted with
Buffalo Bill, who wns then chief of scouts
under General Phil Sheridan. Tho friend
ship which they formed then lasted through
life.
The Major was nlso a great friend of the
kiddles throughout the country. Many of
them made a. hnbtt of hanging nround the
btfx ofTlce nt llulTnlo Bill's show until tho
Mnjor nppeared. They knew Instead of
being run from the place that they would
be chased Insldo tho show.

Pennsylvanian Assails South
erner for Putting Anti-La
Follette Messages in Record
By a Staff Corretpomlrnt
WASHINGTON, April 12.
Decauso Senator Williams, of Mississippi,
Inserted In the Congressional Ilecord n num
ber of telegrams which criticized Senator
La Follette, of Wisconsin, for his vote
against tho declaration of a state of war
with dormnny and referred to him ns "Von
La Follette," Senator Penrose, of Pennsyl
vania, read -"the riot act" to the Southerner
toda
"This Is a most flagrant abuse of pro
priety," said Senator Penrose. "It Is nn In
stance of gross abuse of tho Congressional
Ilecord. Scores of telegrnms which are of
no benefit to nny ono nfter they have been
rend by tho person receiving them are In
serted every day In the Ilecord.
"Why every man in the mountain fast
nesses who sends a telegram, to Washington
should bo given n plnco In the Congressional
Ilecord Is more than I can understand.
That Is usually the last heard of this
patriotic warrior. Out of sense of propriety
I havo refrained from Inserting telegrnms In
tho Ilecord, nnd I think other Senators
should do likewise."
