Washington, D. c., Oct. 24.-Tha .
Federal Government sat up and took
notice of the talk about the forma-
tion of holding company to take
over the property and business of the
Beef Trust. The notice consists Of
letters to the attorneys in the dis
tricts in which the acts of forming Q
the corporation may be taken, call
Ing their attention to the newspaper
reports.
It is vengeance as much as any,
thing else that the officers Of the
Federal Government desire. The un-
merciful roasting that resulted from
Garfeld's report giving the trust 4
clean bill of health, and the subse-
quent giving of the judicial immu-
nifty bath as a result Of that report,
has made the attorneys of the De-
partment of Justice tender on the
Beef Trust. They have a healthy de-
sire to retrieve themselves and wipe
ont the blot caused by the freeing of
the packers, because Garfield had
asked them for information.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
was asked for a statement Of his
Views concerning the attempted for
nation of a trust.
The only information | have on
the subject of this alleged merger
proposition, said Mr.. Wilson, has
been CLEANED from the newspapers.
But I will say this:
I'VE have a Bureau of Corpora
tions, whose agents are especially
charged with looking into matters Of
this kind
I'VE have a Department of JUS

CENTRAL MUST PAY
FINES OF $1OS.O GOO.
Railroad Company Heavily Assessed
for Giving Rebates to the
'Sugar Trust"

New York, Oct 22.-In the United
States Circuit Court, Judge Holt de-
MED the motions for new trial and
arrest of Judgment made by counsel
for the New York Central and Hud-
son River Railroad. and for its as
sistant general traffic manager.
Frederic L. Pomeroy, convicted last
Wednesday Of granting rebates to the
American Sugar Refining Company,
OF New Jersey, and the American SUI
gar Refining Company, of New York,
the so-called Sugar Trust. Fines
against the company were fixed at
$10S,000.
Penalties which may be assessed
under the Elkins act. under which
conviction was had, are named in the
statute is a minimum of $1,000. and
maximum OF $4,000 for each Of
the six counts on which the defend
ant corporation and traffic manager
were found guilty.
Judge Holt denied all the motions
and exceptions were taken.
In a severe arraignment of both
the corporation and the individual
defendant Judge Holt sentenced the
New York Central to pay a fine of
$4,000 on each of the six counts in
the indictment, total of $10S,000,
and fined Mr.. Pomeroy $1,000 on
each of the six counts against him.
Mr.. Fox moved for and obtained a
stay Of sixty days in which to per-
feet his appeal.
81 really feared he would fine us
$4,000 on each count" whispered
Mr. Fox to Mr.. Lindsay, at his side.
I'VE got off a little bit lighter than
/ had expected"
"Such a violation of law" said
Judge Holt, in passing sentence, lis
much more heinous than the ordi-
nary. common, vulgar crimes usually
brought before the criminal courts
Those are crimes of sudden passion
and temptation. These crimes were
committed by men Of education, bus
mess experience and standing in the
community, and as such they should
be expected to set an example of
obedience to the law.
This corporation received large
and valuable public privileges. 1t
was under the highest obligations to
treat all citizens alike and not to
grant any unjust determinations.
This was a secret crime, the proof of
which was difficult to obtain. This is
