Caught in the Act.

The Great Northern railroad, ol
which James j. Hill is president,
has been caughtiu fragrant case OF
Relating. That does not necesSa,
rily mean that the Great Northern
is to he called TO account, because
other railroads, among them the
Santa Fc, were caught in fragrant
cases and we all remember the Nor
ton incident. Referring to the
Great Northern 5 slip, the Wash
ington Dispatch says: So pro.
nounced and definite was the
ease that the interstate commerce
commission has brought it to the
attention to the department of
justice, with the reqest that there
be immediate prosecution. There
is illconcealed satisfaction on the
part of members of the commiss.
ION ut this development, because
of the we'll known attitude of hos
tility toward the commission which
Mr.. Hill has assumed up to this
time. There is no question but
that the efforts of the comm ission
will be directed to securing a con.
viction under the law of Mr.. Hills
road and the mulcting of that com
pany of the $50, 900 prescribed by
the law, 1t is charged that dur
ing the months from October last
to the month of April of this year
the Great Northern, in conjunction
with the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Central Transit company and n
lake steamship corporation, car
ried Is, 900 tons Of cast-iron pipe
to Winnipeg, Manitoba, from
Philadelphia and suburbs Of that
city. X. d. Wood & Co., of Phila.
delphia, were the shippers and the
city of Winnipeg the consignee,
and the Great Northern paid a re-
bate amounting to substantially
81, 800. 1t is alleged that the full
rate of 49H cents per 100. pounds
was paid by the shipper, but when
the transaction was closed the
Great Northern paid the rebate in.
Dictated, the agreement being that
the rebate should be 5 cents on
each 100 pounds of freight. In
that way r. d. Wood & Co. it is
charged, beat their competitors
The Commission, in referring the
case to the department of justice,
asserted that it was one OF the
most fragrant that has come to the
attention of that body. The sat
isfaction Of the commission over
getting the Great Northern in its
tolls arises in large part over the
position maintained by Mr.. Hill
toward that body and toward all of
the laws which have been passed
under the constitutional provision
permitting the general government
and charging it with DUTY of regu-
lating interstate commerce.
