Attorney General Says Conviction IL
of First Importance.
WASHINGTON. June 22.--on being asked
concerning the action OF Judge Mcpherson
at Kansas City today in his decision against
the Armour, Swift, Morris and Cudahy
Packing companies, the Burlington railroad
and the individual defendants, Taggart and
Thomas, the attorney general said
The conspiracy was for obtaining re-
bates on large scale and making 'discrim-
nations to shippers highly injurious to the
public welfare. The methods adopted in
concealing the true nature Of the transac-
tons showed clearly that the defendants
wilfully knowingly and deliberately sought
to defy the law and that there was a gross
contempt of its prohibition. After giving
IT careful consideration / concluded that
the extent of the dscriminat tons showed
that It was a case where the sentence of
Imprisonment was especially desirable and
directed the district attorney to urge on
the court. in case of their conviction. the
desirabilty OF such a sentence.
II regaFd the outcome of this case as of
the first importance. The sentence of i'm
prsonment imposed for the first time on
persons guilty of rebatng will in my iudg-
ment, have the most potent effect in check
ing the widespread practice OF unlawful dis
criminations''
Attorney General Moody has always been
of the opinion that II person guilty Of
rebating could be imprisoned for II the prac-
tce would soon be broken. As however.
the Elkins law contained no provision for
such a sentence. II became necessary for
Mr.. Moody, in order TO put into effect this
theory, to find some other means for do
ing so. on an examination OF the author
Titles Mr. Moody discovered that under the
authority of the supreme court of the
United States, in the case OF Clune against
the United States, a conspiracy to commit
a crime against the United States itself
punishable only by fine. the defendant
might also be punished by Imprisonment.
He directed the United States attorney in
each district that, 'in the event of obtain
ing conviction on a charge of conspiracy
OF this kind, you are directed to present 10
the court the desira bility of inhcting tho
penalty Of imprisonment. to the end that
those unlawful practices, which have re-
ceived almost universal condemnation. may
be discouraged and prevented as far az ex-
| listing law will accomplish that result"
