crates an oil refinery at Whiting,

The court says it appears at the hear
Ing that the defendant shipped its
goods from Whiting to East st. Louis
for 6 cents and ~ cents to st. Louis.
The defense argued that tho Elkins
law authorized the prosecution for
but one offense and maintained that
there could be a conviction on only
one count. The court held that the
law is violated every time any prop
erty is 30 transported, as the legal
rate was established by the railroad
company on car lot basis. The un-
lawful 6-cent rate was granted and
accepted on that basis. As to the de-
PENDANTS claim that the representa-.
lions by the Alton road had misled it
into the sincere belief that the Alton
scent rate had been filed with the
interstate commerce commission the
court held that az the law required the
carrier to keep the schedule at it's

was the defendants duty to ascertain

rate was so fixed and it being for the
