N. Y. CENTRAL
FINED $lOS.OOO
Court Says Discrimination in
Favor Of TTuS! is Worse
Than Vulgar Crime

Pomeroy NEW YORK, Oct 20-Vig-
orous condemnation If teh rebate
crimes committed by the New York
Central and Frederic /. Pomeroy, its
assistant general traffic manager, In
favor of the Sugar Trust, was uttered
in the United States Circuit Court yes
terday. when he passed sentence on the
convicted defendants. He imposed a
fine of s1OS, 600 on the railroad company
and $4,000 on Pomeroy. The company
was fined $4,000 on each of the six
counts in the indictment and Pomeroy
81 900 on each.
Judge Holt referred to the insult to
the law Of the land offered by the de-
PENDANTS and nayed both Pomeroy and
the corporation for expecting the law
to protect them and their property,
yet delibeIW&EsS defying II in other re-
spects. Judge Holt spoke is if he con-
sidered that the company and its as
sistant general traffic manager morally
had forfeited all right to the laws pro-
lection by voluntarily placing them
selves outside its pale.
There was not a single extenatinE
circumstance applying TO the defend
ants. he said. Only through the
courtesy of their counsel, added the
court, were they entitled to any con-
sideration. and that in small degree
the ground being th-N the lawyers, bS
supplying Necessary documentary evid-
ence, whico otharwise 1t would hav,
taken a longer time for the prosecution

NO REQUEST MADE;
BELL DID NOT Ring

There are a number of fremen
throughout the city who are incensed
because the City Hall bell was not
rung. as has been customary. on many
occasions before, when the Washington
Fire Company returned from its trip,
when the Phoenix Company received
the Reading Hose Company, and again
last night, when the housing ceremon-
les of the Brandywine Fire Company
took place.
When Chief Of Police George Black
was asked this morning regarding the
subject, he stated that so far as he
knew there was no reason why the bell
was not rung beyond the fact that there
was no request made that 1t should be.
Ghief Black stated that it was custo-
mary when a fire company or any other
organization desired, that the bell be
rung on any special occasion that a re-
quest be made Of him 10 that effect and
he then directed the city lineman to see
that such request was carried out He
states, however, that on the occasions
mentioned he received no such request
hence the omission.

Judging from the registration OF two
years ago there are at least 1900 men
in Wilmington who have been indiffer-

The registration to-day therefore

OF the four previous registration days
this year. IT Is expected that It will
be heavy and some are sanguine that
it will equal the Presidential year
registration.
About 5000 are now registered IN this
city and an effort Is being made to get
out at least 10000 more.
The Republicans so far have good
lead In the registration and Il viii de-
