Law Brcnklug Railroad officials VIII
NOt Forget It Soon.

Chicago Dec. 96.-Thc Tribune to-day
says:
The year 1906 will lorg be remembered
as enc of great trials ana tribula-
tioNs for railways and railway officials
that had broken the laws. Partaking of
the zeal displayed by President Roosevelt
ana his administration in moving against
the law breakers and further stimulated
- action by direct orders from Attor-
ney-General Moody, and even from the
President himself. the various fedora
lis'rict-attorneys during the year have
prosecuted moro legal proceedings against
railroads ard their officials than ever
before within an equal period in the
history of tho country.
Most Of these suits were brought for
violations of the Elkins anti-rebate
law and In most instances thcy were
instituted not only against the rail
ways and their officials vino gave the
rebates but also against the individuals
or corporations that solicited or ac-
ceptcd them.
In most instances prosecutions were
successful, The fines assessed aggre-
gate many hundreds of thousands OF
dollars Two men We're convicted and
sentenced to Imprisonment under tha
federal conspiracy law
