C. & 4. FOUND GUILTY.
RaiIsrqy and Former Officials Con-
0icted of Citing Rebates.

Chicago. July 6.-The Chicago & Alton Railroad
rnd John y. Faithorn and FREQ A. Wann. former
rs6cials of the road were to-day convicted in the
Tinted States District Court Of Illegally granting
rebates TO the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Packing
Company No sentence imposed to-day by
Judge Lands pending the arguments for new
trial for the defendants. which will be heard to-
morrow.
Il was claimed by the government that the rail-
road officials had allowed the employees of the pack
ing company 70 travel free, refunding all money ex-
pended FOR transportation The court held that this
Gid not comprise a rebate and Judge Lands in
structed the jury that a verdict Of mot guilty
should be returned 10 these two counts Of the
Indictment
In the other eight counts, all OF which the de-
fendants were found guilty, two offences against
lhe Eli.ins law proved. II shown by the
government that the railroad company had charged
u g car for handling the products OF SchwarzSchlld
= sulzberger AZ Kansas City. and had repaid the
rlafuled and the court held that the failure of the
railroad publish IN its tariff sheet the fact that
repaid made il a secret rebate 1t was
eIaimed bN the attorneys for the defendants that
he refun6ing Of 8 a was necessary because the
packing company owned the railroad track near its
plant and compelled the railroad company 10 pay
that amount for irackage when IL hauled the cars
away
Judge Lands disagreed with this contention and
held that the payment Of 81 constituted secret
rebate.
Under the law the maximum sentence of the
court may be fine Of $4,000 for each of the three
Defendants. No imprisonment provision appears in
The law.

TO ENFORCE LAW IN TENDERLoIN
Police to Retaliate for Re-establishment of
the Three Platoon System.

Captain O'Brien told the patrolmen of the Ten
derloin station last night that hereafter they
must rigidly enforce the excise law in every
nook and corner of the Tenderloin. He said he
meant business. and that every saloon must be
closed at midnight.
If you don't do it, l WILL he is reported to
have told the policemen. "Other captains and
myself were summoned before Inspector Druhan
yesterday and informed that we would have one
day TO make every saloon live up TO the law.
Now it's up TO you 70 do your duty. II you
don't, will. and there will be trouble for the
man over whose head make an arrest"
The Tenderloin sharps interpreted this move
as meaning that O'Brien and Druhan have put
their heads together and decided that neither
Commissioner Bingham nor any other person
would have a chance TO break them They
propose TO enforce the excise law rigidy and,
naturally, there VIII be a howl from the con-
sistent constituents OF the Mcclellan wing Of
Tammany that will shake the Commissioners
chair. The motive. it IS said, is to embarrass
the administration. The police in all parts of
the city are said to favor this a retalia-
tion for the re-establishment OF the three pla-
toOn system.
