REBATES IN VIOLATION OF LAW.
santa Fe Onciais and Leading Shippers
Under Indictment.

CHICAGO. Oct. Establishments against
five officials and ex-officials of the Santa
Fe railroad system and Leading shippers
were returned today for violations OF the
interstate commerce law. The indictments
are the result of an investigation of the
charges that the Santa Fe paid millions
OF dollars in rebates 10 shippers. 1t was
stated this afternoon that two of the men
indicted are Nelson Morris aud J. w.
Reinhsrt. The indictment against Presi-
dent Reinhart alleges that in April and
October. Is92, he, while president OF the
company, paid a rebate of IS per car TO
Isaac Thompson, of Kansas City, on
several hundred car loads Of live stock
shipped to Chicago. Mr.. Rsinhart is
also charged with paying rebates TO G. II.
Hammond 4 Co.. of Hammond. Ind. on
large shipments of stock. The indict-
ment against Nelson Morris charges the
packer with having received rebate from
Relnhart, alleging that he shipped stock
from Kansas City to Chicago under a
special rate allowed him by the president
OF the company. at $50 per car. which was
$ld60 per car less than the rate of the
company an given in the tariffs filed by
the latter with the interstate commerce
commission. Attorney Shields, who con-
Quoted the investigation. said the other
three indicted men were not prominent,
and he feared they would run awav If
their names were made public before the
warrants were served. The penalty for
the ofienses charged. he said. was two
years Imprisonment or a fine OF $500, or
both, in the discretion OF the court.
WAsHIseTos CRY, Oct. i9-Thc men In
dicted by the grand jury for violation OF
the interstate commerce law are; Nelson
Morris. the largest cattle shipper in the
world; General Manager Jenkins. of the
Hammond Beef Company; Isasc Thomp-
son, of Kansas City; ]. II. Reinhart. for
msrly president of the Santa re road. aud
]. Hanley. general freight agent of the
Santa Fe road. There are seven indict-
ments against these five men. The indict-
ments are the result of investigations by
the interstate commerce commission. The
attorney general has assigned one of his
assistants, Mr.. Shields, TO conduct the
case Mr.. Shields has been furnish
ing witnesses for three weeks and
his success in securing the indictments
gave much satisfaction to the authorities.
The latter state that the proof of viola
tons OF the interstate commerce law is
direct and positive, and assert that there
can be no miscarriage of justice by refusal
TO testify. The offense charged is the pay
ment and allowance of rebates aud special
privileges by the Santa Fs road TO ship
pers. The officials here say that the exam
instiou of the Santa FEES books by Expert
Little showed s. .OO0, 900 unaccountsd for. \
considerable part of which is believed TO
be covered by rebates.

THE POSTPONED TARIFF BILL.

The voorhees, tariff bill will not be re-
ported to the full committee to-day, as
has been time and again announced Now
we are told that another week will pass
before Mr.. Voorhees, subcommittee will
be able to agree upon a bill which it can re-
port to the finance committee. The three ex-
confederates and representatives of the SOW
ereign States of Missouri, Arkansas and
Texas are having a hard time with the tar
if bill. One day it is fixed, but a Democrat
ic Senator comes along and declares that If
the special industries of his State are not
treated with ordinary courtesy he will not
vote for it. AS three Democratic votes may
defeat the bill the three Senators who
hate varied Industries go to work and re
construct the bill so as to protect the in
dustries of the threatening Senator. Then
comes another interest, and, behold. the
bill is amended to suit the last Directing
Senator's, and others In turn declare that
If such a bill is passed by the Senate they
will fight it in the House on the question of
49, NONOAG
crates attempt to placate the interests,
both of which are Democratic. Louisiana
will fight the bill, if sugar is not put under
a stiff duty, whereat scores of Representa-
tlves cry out that taxed sugar is the in
iquity that is waiting to defeat them in
the November elections. The other day two
hundred workingmen from Maryland de-
sired a hearing. but they were not permit
ted to say a word. and the representative
of every industry has had the committees
door slammed in his face. No time is be-
ing wasted on such people. The delay Is
not to modify the Wilson bill so that it
will insure revenue or give protection, but
to get votes enough to pass it. Mr.. Voor-
bees evidently thought he had made changes
enough to bring that about a week ago., but
now he finds that an extended period of in
definite length will be required to conciliate
every reformer who yearns for the blessings
of free trade for all the world except his
protection.
There Is an exception, however; the in
terests of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding
Company, better known as the Whisky
Trust. have been zealously cared for by the
committee, and no Democratic Senator will
either desire or dare to object. But the
point to- be remembered Is that the paraly-
sis Of tariff uncertainty Is now being pro-
tracted by Democratic dissensions.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1894-02-20

About three years ago a Mr.. Bowers, an
eccentric citizen of New Jersey. died, leav-
ing the greater portion of an estate of s2O,-
900 to Mr.. Henry George for the dIssemina-
ton of his ~single-tax views and his work
entitled Progress and Poverty" Some of
the relatives of the decedent objected to the
money being used for such a purpose. and
attacked the will In the courts. They
claimed that as the book to be disseminated
struck at existing law the money could not
legally be devoted to that purpose. The
lower court decided In their favor, and Mr..
George carried the case TO the court of last
resort, which reversed the decision of the
lower court. Meanwhile. other litigation
arose. and a few days ago 1t came to light
that the original bequest Of $4,000 had been
