EXPERT LITTLE'S WORK.
Evidence Regarding Rebate Payments
That Nay Cause Trouble.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-The Herald to-
morrow will say: Expert Little has given
the Interstatc-commerce Commission proof,
which that body believes convincing. of re-
bate payments by Atchison officials. Mr..
Little was in Washington last week and
his testimony is now on record. Two, at
least, of the commissioners declare they
will bring an action against all officials
implicated end punish them to the full ex-
tent OF the law. This will be testing the
interstate act with a vengeance, as there
is a liability of $500 fine and two years In
the penitentiary for every payment OF re-
bates of which there is proof. The COM
mission has been quietly investigating the
charges ever since expert Little's report
on the Atchison's books. or which he
claimed S7.oc0,o00 had been paid in rebates
to shippers. Photographic fac-siIniles were
obtained of two rebate vouchers calling
for the return of 5000 to two shippers
who had ~patronized the Atchison. In addi-
ton there was. obtained the affidavit of
one employe who had received a large
amount of money for rebates for his en-
ployers. The commissioners declare they
have all the proof necessary, but are hes
itating to take action because of the knock.
out blow it would give the interstate act
if they are defeated.
