Young Man Goes to Peni-

A Most Distressing
Case.
PRISONER DEEPLY PENITENT

Roy J. Ferguson, who ten days ago
pleaded guilty to perjury, in Criminal
Court No. l, was today sentenced by JUS
tice Wright TO five years Imprisonment
in the penitentiary. He presented a
pitiable appearance as he turned away
from the bar after sentence was i'm
posed, and made his way to the prison
cell in the basement of the City Hall,
the first station on his way TO the peni-
tentiary.
manhood, and is of manly appearance
and bearing. Up to the present time
he has borne an excellent reputation
and was highly thought of by all who
knew him. His false swearing was done
with the intention of saving one of his
companions of being convicted of rob-
berry.
Sorry for His Crime
When asked by, Justice Wright if ne
had anything to say why sentence
should not be imposed Ferguson said
he is extremely sorry for the step hi
took as it not only brought disgrace
and punishment upon HIM but also
upon his father.
Justice Wright said it was one of the
most distr sssing cases with which he
has had To deal Nevertheless the OF
tense commit ID is a verY grave one

their safety, TO property, liberty. anC

he had to do he must perform his duty
To the public.
In view of the fact that Ferguson
pleaded guilty to the charge of perjur,
Justice Wright fixed the penalty 1T five
years instead of IMPOSING the maximum
penalty.
Ferguson was witness at the trial o
Weismulier. Hardy. and Tobin for rob
berry. His testimony was given with
view of proving an allbi for Hardy, ant
said he knew that the latter was a

He afterward admitted to the cour

Senate Railroad Rate
Inquiry Begins Today
Chairman Elkins and Associates Ready for
Three Weeks Investigations Into Freight
and Other Charges.

ment. who will be heard by the COM
mittee. are Senator'S Spooner. Knox,
and Morgan: Prof w. n. Ripley, OF
Harvard University. and Victor Mora
wetz, the weii-known New York at
torney. who knows much about corpora
tions.
Senator Elkins. who is chairman of
the committee, announces that he ex-
poets to go most thoroughly into the
railroad question. This is. IN fact,
commanded by the resolution directing
the inquiry. 1t instructs the committed:
TO consider the question of additional
legislation to regulate interstate COM
merce and TO authorize the Interstate
commerce Commission to fix rates or
freights and fares and to acquire fur
ther information as TO interstate COM
merce. including violations or eyasions
of the antj-rebate law and the devices
and methods by which such evasions
are accomplished, and including re-
fr1gerator and other priVate-car sys-
TENS. Industrial railway tracks. switch
ing charges. and the like, and also to
consider what legislation should be
enacted In relation to the liability of
railroad companies engaged in inter-
state traffic or operating lines III any
territory of the United States for In
luries received by their employees when
in the discharge of duty"
Committee Plans.
III is commonly said that the report OF
the committee, which will probably take
the form of bill, will not recommend
that the Interstate Commerce ComInis-
sion be given the power to fix rates, but
the reforms viii be leveled against pri-
vate car line monopolies and switching
charges. This may be changed, however,
If the evidence taken shows the commit
tee that other and more drastic changes
are needed.
The fact that the inquiry will last
only about three weeks is explained by
the consideration that the committee
has already heard the testimony of ship
pers from all parts of the country. aud
it now only remains for the railroads to
show their side of the case.
The results Of this investigation will
be of the utmost importance, as the
position OF the Senate concerning rail-
road legislation may be largely deter
mined in the next Congress by this COM
mittee's report. The committee will hold
daily sessions until the inquiry is com
pleted.
