New York. Nov. ia motion to dis
miss the indictments charging the New
York Central & Hudson River Railroad
Co. with granting rebates to the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Co., was denied by
Judge Holt today. The motion was
made by Joseph II. Chcate, who ap-
pears as chief counsel for the defend
ant.
Mr.. Choate said that to fully COM
prehend the Elkns act. it would be
necessary to thoroughly know what
Congress had intended to do when it
enacted the law. Prior to it's passage
in 1893, and from 1887 to 1908, the inter-
state commerce controlled all common
carriers. Then came the ElkinS act.
which superseded the Interstate COM
merce act. The latter, Mr.. Choate
said. sought to provide an equitable
Jaw controlling both carrier and ship
per alike. And then came the celc-
brated Hepburn act. Under the letter
Enactment / do not see how many of
us. no matter who we are. can escape
punishment. If we get a package by
express and pay a penny more than
the rate. we may he imprisoned, but
happily that act does not enter into
this discussion
Mr.. Choatc commended that, inasmuch
ase the shipments complained of were
made and completed four months prior
to the passage of the Elkins act, there
was no ground for prosecution.
Judge Holt in denying the motion de-
clared that he thought the Elkins act
sufficiently binding upon the accused,
and that there was sufficient evidence
to send the case to the jury.
The judge then announced his reci-
sion overruling the motion to dismiss
the Indictment.
After having considered the case for
an hour and so minutes the jury came
into the court room for instructions
whether the payment of rebates subse-
quent to the enactment of the law made
the New York Central liable and guilty.
Judge Holt told the jury that if it
found the defendant had failed to
strictly observe its published tariff
schedule with regard to rates. if its Of
