Charged With Taking Bribes
From Railroads
EMPLOYED IN TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
These Cases Had no Connection With
Violations of Sherman Anti
Trust Law.

CHICAGO. ILL.,. Sept 21-In tne
United States court this morning four
members of the firm of Schwarchz-
child and Sulzberger, packers, Plead
ed guilty to accepting bribes from the
railroads. Samuel We'll, vice-presi-
dent of the company, Vance D. Skip
WORTH assistant traffic manager, and
Beth S. Cuzey. traffic manager, ac-
cused of accepting rebates, pleaded
guilty. Cuzey was also indicted for
alleged interference with govern
ment witnesses The cases were not
identified with the alleged violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.
Charles E. Todd, assistant traffic
manager, also pleaded guilty. Judge
Bethea fined We'll $4,000 and Cuzey
and Skipwortn $4,000 each. The costs
were distributed proportionately The
United States marshal took the men
into custody.
We'll gave the clerk of the court a
check covering al the fines and costs.
The government spent $16,762 in inn
panelling and keeping the grand jury
which indicated that the fines aggre-
gated $4,000 and costs. The gov
ernment today filed a demurre. to the
plea of the other packers who al
legged the indictments were improp-
erly returned. We'll is 65 years of age
and in poor health and mis- family fear
ed the result of the trial.
Attorney General Moody telegraphed
his congratulations to District At
torney Morrison for securing a con-
viction. 1t is said these cases will
be the opening wedge in the prosecu-
ton of all offenders under the law
prohibiting rebates. 1t is rumored
that the district attorney has found
evidence of more violations and there
will be other indictments when the
present cases are finished. Morrison
expects to nave the cases of the pack
ers under indictment for violations of
the Sherman antitrust law brought
up for final hearing October 2, and
expects to get the dilatory pleas out
of court by that time.

ON HAWAII

A strange phenomena Of nature has
been found In the mountains Of Hua-
lalai back Of Kailua. A bottomless
pit about four feet in diameter has
been located. This pit Is peculiar from
the fact that It sucks IN the air with
remarkable force. Pieces Of paper
paced over the mouth Of the pit do not
float gently down but are suddenly
sucked downward and disappear with
startling rapidity. The air rushing in
to the pit can be distinctly felt by peo-
pie standing on the edge. There has
been no attempt made thus far 10 reach
the bottom of the pit or to determine
much Of the passage.
Strange noises are being heard In
Honaunau. Every night the inhabi-
tants OF that section distinctly hear a
strange noise similar to the blowing
OF "a deep steamer whistle. Nobody
has been able TO discover any cause
for such noise and considerable anxiety
is being felt by many people over the
I strange thing. The noise Is heard for
about five seconds and then subsidies
for space Of about ten minutes and
then resumes for another five seconds.
