Railroads tad Packers Are Indicted
For Crime.
CHARGED WITH DISCRIMINATION.
New York Freight Broker in the Net
Armour Tells of Matter-He says
II Has Been the Usual Custom for
Quite Long Time.

Kansas City, Dec. 1S.-Fourteen in
'dictments were returned by the fed
eral grand jury against common car
riers. railway officials, shippers and
freight agents, charging the giving of
rebates and conspiracy to gain re-
hates
The indictments returned were as
follows:
George H. Crosby, of Chicago, gen.
eral traffic manager of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad.
George l.. Thomas. broker of 800
Broadway, New York.
L. B. Taggert, New York, Crosby's
chief clerk.
The Chicago & Alton Railroad COM
pany and John N. Faithorn and F. A
Wann. formerly vice-president and
general freight agent respectively of
the railroad company.
The Cudahy Packing Company.
Swift & Co.
The Armour Packing Company
The Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul
Railroad Company. -.....
-NOiSOh IuOlIlSs dIu anu
Ira N. Morris, comprising the partner
ship OF Nelson Morris & Co.
ID, H. Kresky, Kansas City, freight
broker.
The charges against the Chicago &
Alton and Messrs. Faithorn and Wann
are identical with those made in the
indictments returned by the federal
grand jury at Chicago on December
18th.
The indictments against the pack
ing companies charge that they enter
sed into contract with the Burling-
ton railway TO accept concessions on
shipments of their products from East
:St. Louis to New York for export The
grand jury charges that the agree
:meRt thus entered into provided for
"a rate Of % cents hundred pounds
on these products. This was in July,
1905. The agreement was to continue
in force until January l. 1906. The
local rates applied to these ship
ments between Kansas City and st.
Louis.
In August, 1905, the joint rate on
'packiDg house products was raised by
the joint traffic association to Soc be-
tween East St. Louis and New York.
The Burlington, nevertheless, it is de-
clared, lived up to its pc agreement
with the packers in Kansas City. and
under which agreement it practically
carried all the packing house products
from this city except those of the
Schwarzschild & Sulzbergcr Packing
Company.
Two indictments were returned
against George l.. Thomas, of New
York, who is alleged to have had a
contract with the Burlington by the
terms of which he was to receive
certain percentage of the freight rates
paid on all shipments more than speci-
fed tonnage from New York to Kan
sas City and vice versa.
The investigation made by the
grand jury revealed the fact that
Thomas had agencies at Kansas City,
Omaha. Chicago, st. Louis, Atchison,
Milwaukee and other cities.
The specific charges against the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail
road is that of granting a rebate of
seven cents hundred pounds to the
Howard Mills Company of Wichita,
Kan, on shipment of flour from
Kansas City to New York.
