cigar factories w. F. Schiebe manu-
faotures the LA BELLE ASTORIA,

be loyal to their town and follow the
example set by these people of Illinois,
1t might prove as profitable an invest
ment as the encouragement Of a rail-
road.

rison, the chairman Of the commission,
said today that the report EN- bodied prac-
ricalIy only the facts brought out in the
statement Of Expert Little.
The offense," he said, sis a very com
mon one, and there are several other
roads against which similar charges are
now pending. 1t is a very difficult mat
ter to prove the guilt. both the road
and the shipper are involved IN the
guilty transactions, and each naturally is
not disposed to make revelations.
"Both the railroad officials and the
shippers are absolved by Judge Gross
cup IN Chicago from giving testimony
discriminating themselves. We cannot
take any action except for our own pur-
poses, save to forward to the United
States district attorney any new facts
that may be brought to light by the com
mission. The prosecution must be car
ried forward in these cases by the courts
as in the other criminal offenses."
The matter is still under consideration
by the comm ission which is also con-
Quoting correspondence with a view to
obtaining facts concerning alleged SINH
lar violations by other roads.
