than Guilford, Il. l.. Pomeroy, c

Thees indictments except the last
named we're found under the "El
kins' antitrust law which provlder
penalties of fine not exceeding
$4,000 or Imprisonment not exceed
ing two years for violating the anti
rebate law.
The last indictment found against
Guilford, Pomeroy, Edgar and Earle
charges them with having collective.
ly conspired to violate the provis-
ions of the Elkins' antitrust law
The grand jury presentment address
ed to court stated that the grand
! jury in concluding its labors deemed
It proper to call attention to the
gravity of the evils incident to the
violation of the Interstate commerce
laws which have been mactlced in re-
spect to merchandise transported
from Now York City to various
points in'the' West.
"Tle evidence Investigated by us
bearing upon the indictments which
VIC have found. =" said the Jury, "has
incidentally revealed to be in exist
ence of so many other instances OF

least questionable The evidence be
fore us has related mainly to the
shipment of sugar from various re.
fneries in this locality to the Western
markets.
"In addition to the cases an which
Indictments have been handed down
evidence indicating rebates have
been regularly given the sugar refin.
cries and their customers by several
interstate lines; that a regular al,
lowance of two cents per hundred
pounds has been made by various
railroad companies to sugar refiner
les to cover alleged cartage, an al
lowance, which though usually pub.
llshed in tariffs. often, represents no
labor performed and which is not
made to other shippers of. similar
commodities; and that other special
favors of various kinds haEe been
regularly made in regard to sugar
shipments either to refiners them
selves or to their officers or agents
engaged in subsidiary buslness-like
litherage.
"The evidence before us has
shown clearly in several instances
and has Indicated it to be a fact
generally that the Elkins laws as &c
the giving of rebates have been dis.
regarded since the day OF its enact

An Amsterdam journal tells how
important part the cigar plays in a
Dutch courtship. The man in love
calls casually at the young woman's
house with his cigar out and casually
asks for light. There is delicate
hint, and if he calls again for light
the parents understand what to ex-
pect. A family council is held and
the reply is prepared. If on the third
call the wooer receives a light, but
has the door Immediately closed in his
face, he understands that he is cold
shouldered. If, on the other hand,
his suit is welcome, after receiving
his light, he is invited in, the young
woman is presented to him, and he
puffs out his declarations through his
curls of smoke.
