yielding on the part of the sultan and

Sinai peninsula, which were left
somewhat doubtful in previous nego-

hold out longer In the hope that
Great Britain will be reluctant to
open delicate questions involving the
forcing of the Dardanelles In order to
make a demonstration before Con

Turkey in her present attitude, this
is considered unlikely.

without leaving Turkish territory
All troops and pilgrims going to He'd
JAZZ and Yemen had to traverse the
canal at great expense, whereas, If
they went by rail by the way Of Aka

agree to Egypt's establishing a mill

New York, May S.-The federal
grand jury yesterday handed down
indictments in the sugar Relating
cases against the following:
New York Central railroad.
American Sugar Refining company.
New York Central & Hudson River
railroad.
Nathan Guilford, vice president OF
that company, and F. l.. Pomeroy, gen.
eral traffic manager.
American Sugar Refining company

wholesale sugar dealers of Detroit.

and American Sugar Refining CON-
pany of New York and C. Goodlee Ed
gar and Edwin Earle.
Nathan Guilford, +. l.. Pomeroy, G.
Goodlee Edgar and Edwin Earle.
These indictments, except the last,
were found under the Elllins anti
trust law, which provides penalties OF
a fine not exceeding $4,000 or i'm
prisonment not exceeding two years
for violating the anti-rebatea
The last indictment found against
Guilford, Pomeroy, Edgard and Earle
charges them with having collective
" conspired to violate the provisions
of the Elkins antitrust law. A grand
presentment, addressed to the court,
stated that the grand jury in conclud-
ing it's labor deemed 1t proper to cali
attention to the gravity of the evils
incident to the violation of the inter-
state commerce laws, which have been
practiced in respect to merchandise
transported from New York city to
various points In the west.
Evidence Investigated by us bear
ing upon the indictments which we
have found" says the jury, has Incl
dentally revealed to you the probable
existence of so many other instances
| of similar offences as to indicate
general and systematic policy, pur-
sued by certain large shippers, of ex-
torting from railroad companies IA
vors, the legality of which is at least
questionable. The evidence before
us has related mainly to shipments oil
sugar from various refneries in this
locality TO western markets. In adj
dition to the cases in which indict-
ments have been handed down, the
evidence has indicated that rebates
have been regularly given sugar refin-
cries and their customers by several
other interstate lines; that regular
allowance of two cents per 100 pounds
has been made by various railroad
companies 10 the sugar refineries to
cover alleged carriage, am allowance
which, though usually published in
the tariffs, often represents no labor
actually performed and which
made to other shippers of similar
commodities; and that other special
favors of various kinds have been
regularly made in regard to sugar
shipments, either to the refiners them.
selves or to their officers or agents en-
gagged in subsidiary business, like
lighterage. The evidence before us
has shown clearly in several in
stances, and has indicated It to be
the fact quite generally, that the FL
kins law as to the giving of rebates
has been disregarded since the day oil
