GIVE AND RECEIVED REBATES.
fOison Morris, j. w. Reinhart and Others
Indicted by N Federal Grand Jury.

FOLSOM Morris, j. w. ReinhRrt and Others
Indicted by Federal Grand Jury.
CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-The federal grand
jury has made final report of the in.
vestigation of the rebates alleged to
have been paid by the Santa Fe rail-
road in violation of the interstate conf
merce law and returned six indictments
against officials of the road and ship
pers, who, it is claimed, received re-
bates. One of the men indicted was
Joseph W. Reinhart. ex-p president of the
company and until recently one of the
receivers of the road, and one of the
shippers against whom a true bill was
returned was Nelson Morris, the we'll
known Chicago packer. Joined in the
same Indictment with Mr.. Reinhart
was John A. Hanley. general
freight traffic manager of the
road, who resigned his posi-
tion about two weeks ago and
is not now connected with the COM
pany. The names of the other persons
included in the indictments Were not
disclosed by the federal officials and
will not be until warrants have been
served. 1t is generally believed, how
ever, that the other indictments are
against Isaac Thompson, shipper OF
Kansas City; G. H. Hammond of Ham,
mond, Ind, another shipper, and a
clerk in the employ of the Atchison
road, who, it is alleged, made out the
rebates.
The maximum penalty imposed on a
shipper for negotiating illegal rates is
fine of 5000 or lmpr sonment not TO
exceed two years or both in the discre-
ton Of the court.

Large Returns to the State.

The state has already recovered, through
the actions enumerated, $37, 900 in cash,
besides the timber reclaimed. There is an
indefinite amount to be recovered IN the
future, for the supply Of oases seems to be
inexhaustible.
It Is ma wonder that those who are in
terested in the defense of such suits, and
in preventing others from being brought,
should leave no stone unturned to put a
stop to investigation and prosecution.
Tue issue is clearly Joined between the
friends of the people and the preservation
of the property Of the state and these pub
lie spoliators.
MIR. Hermann has justly earned the
title of their faithful friend. The men
who have pursued and are still pursuing
and bringing them to justice are Knute
Nelson, the Republican governor and can
didate for governor of Minnesota, and
Robert G. Dunn, the Republican candi-
date for auditor of state,
1t is a small wonder, therefore, with this
startling and shameful array of facts in
view, that every man whose interests lie in
a dishonest appropriation of the pine land
of the state should be fighting Nelson and
Dunn, and devoting himself night and
day to promoting the election of the men
from whom he feels that he has least to
fear: Adolph Biermann and Sidney NJ,

Other Cases Are Awaiting Trial.

Three more cases have been commenced
against the Itasca Lumber company, and
are now pending, awaiting trial There
are also pending one case against Thomas
A. Shevelin and one against Powers &
Dwyer, case against Stephen B. Reynolds
and another against F. G. Webber.
The last two cases are small, as far as
amounts involved are concerned.
The state, however, is endeavoring to
establish the principle that the auditor
has no right to grant permits to take
hardwood timber from the state lands.
There is nothing In the statute which
permits the auditor to sell hardwood
stumpage, but Mr.. Biermann has made it
a constant practice to sell it whenever op-
portunity offered. The loss to the state
has been very great in cases where hard
wood timber has thus been sold and re-
moved from the land, for the value of the
land to future settlers is greatly dimin.
ished, if not destroyed, when all the hard
wood timber has been cut
The tlTUUry OF tirr fuu= Is that Une naru
wood timber must be sold with the land
itself and that the land win bring much
higher price with the timber than without
it, as every farmer wants some wood on
his land and will pay to have it.

to replevin large quantity of logs which

The Proceedings Against Foley.
About the same time suit was com
meneed against T. r Foley of Aitkin
The state claimed that, although he had o
permit to take timber, that permit hac
been cancelled by Auditor Braden; that
Mr.. -Biermann, by some skillful device
known only to himself, had attempted tc
revive the o,d permit that had been can
celled. and made no objection to Foley's
cutting under it.
Foley cut upon the section 2,00O,O9o feet
of timber, but reported to the state that
ne had cut only about 100000 and paid
the state for 100000, at the rate of So 10
per thousand
1t was claimed by the s. ate that he had
stolen million feet, and ought to pay
for it on the basis of what the logs would
have been worth. He also tried to
remove the case to Itasca county, but the
court decided again that it must be tried
at st. Paul.
And Foley offered to Settle Out Of Court.
On the day before the trial, he agreed to
pay 81 800 to settle the case, being at the
rate of $3.50 per thousand for the logs
which he had taken and failed to report.
1t cost Mr.. Foley 81 per thousand to cut
the logs and put them in the boom, so that
the logs for which he settled actually cost
him 81, 80 per thousand. He sold them
by written contract to N. P. Clark of St.
Cloud for $50 per thousand in the boom
This is financial measure of his anx-
iety to close up the deal without the help
of the courts.
