Kansas City, Mo-, June 12.-It re-
quired but fifty minutes today for the
jury in the Federal court to find that
the Armour Packing Company; Mel.
son Morris and Company: The Cuda,
by Packing Company, and Swift and
Company, were guilty of having ac-
cepted concessions otherwise called
rebates, from the Chicago Burlington
and Quincy railroad as charged in
the indictments returned by the Fed
eral Judge last December.
The verdicts are against the cor
porations, not individuals. The stat
utes under which convictions were OBJ
tanned provides for fines of not less
than $1,000. or more than $4,000, for
each count. The indictments in the
four cases contain one count each. so
that none of the packing companies
can be fined more than $4,000.
Judge Mcpherson, will not an
nounce the fines to be imposed until
some time next week.
Immediately following the convic-
tions returned aaginst the packing
companies, the case of the govern
ment against the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railroad company for
granting the concessions of rebates
received by the four packing COM
panies was called.

there will be no saloons in Kokomo
save in district five squares long
and two wide in the heart of the city,
where they will be constantly under

thousand signatures of voters to a
petition requesting the Council to
pass the restricting ordinance.
