|NDICTSSANTAF FE.
United States Grand Jury Finds
a True Bill.
1t Contains So Counts on
Charge of Relating.

Chicago, July 1O-An indictment
charging the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railway with granting rebates
amounting to $4,000 to the United
States Sugar Beet company of Garden
City, Kan, was returned today by the
grand jury in the United States district
court. The Indictment contains 65
counts, each one relating to an alleged
infringement of the law and the COM
pany if convicted is subject to a maxi
mum fine of $1.30O,0OO or a minimum
fine of s65, 900.
The rebates are said to have been
granted by the Santa Fe railway
while the sugar refinery was being
erected at Garden City, in 1905 and
1905, on shipments of building ma
terial, the freight on which amounted
to 100000. 1t is alleged that the
railroad had agreed to return $35, 900
of the 100000 but that only $4,000
had been paid when complaints were
heard from other shippers and the
government commenced an investiga-
tion. 1t is alleged by the government
officials that the officers of the railway
have admitted that $4,000 was paid,
but it is maintained by the railway
that the money constituted bonus
to encourage the building of the sugar
refinery on a site adjoining the rail-
road and was not given as a rebate nor
as discrimination against other ship

STRIKE MUST GO ON.
Last Hope of Agreement in Telegraph
Trouble Has Disappeared.

San Francisco, July 10.-Indications
are that the telegraphers' strike will
spread and that the next walkout of
operators will take place in some large
eastern center. A committee of Western
Union operators called upon 1. M. Miller,
jr., assistant general superintendent of
the Western Union Telegraph company
for the purpose of discussing grievances.
The committee was met by Chief OPP
orator H. j. Jeffs, who read a note con-
veying what Miller had to say to a COM
mittee which was follows:
Mr.. Miller declines to meet such a
committee, but is willing to extend a
courteous hearing to each operator now
out on strike and will consider favorably
the reinstatement of any and all who
come to him, giving assurance of their
personal desire to be reinstated in their
positions, the same as they were before
the strike was called. But he reserves
the right to refuse to receive or reinstate
any one to his position who is undesira-
BILE and that matter must be absolutely
left to his judgment as assistant gen.
eral superintendent"
After the result of the meeting was
made known to President s. J. Small
of the Commercial Telegraphers' union
he sent telegram to President Roose-
welt, claiming that every honorable
means had been exhausted to secure an
adjustment and that he had no hope of
q settlement without an extensive strike;
that in answer to the demands of the
telegrapherS throughout the country
that the strike be made general, he would
leave for Chicago today. 1t was an
nounced yesterday that U. S. Labor
Commissioner Neill would leave Chi
cago for this city to investigate the
local trouble.
Small telegraphed Secretary Russell
of Chicago to wire Commissioner Neill
that if he desired to see him that he
would be in Chicago Sunday. President
f6l62Ta Il.
Perham of ST. Louis, president of the
Railway Telegraphers, to meet him next

Proceedings of North Topeka
Board Regular.
NOW UP TO THE COURT
The People Hope for an Early
Compromise.
Making Ready to Begin the
Actual Work.
NOW UP TO THE COURT

Attorney General Fred S. Jackson
on Tuesday gave an opinion to the
North Topeka drainage commission
ers which sustains the validity of the
drainge bond proceedings. AS soon
as the United States court sustains the
validity of the law, the North Topeka
board will be ready to go ahead and
sell its bonds.
General Jackson said in his opin-
ion:
ITO the Board of Directors of the
North Topeka Drainage District:
Gentlemen-This is to certify that
have carefully examined the pro-
ceedings relative to the issuance of
drainage bends by your district, and
find that the same are regular and in
substantial compliance with the re-
quirements of the statutes of Kansas
relative to the issuance of such bonds.
Very truly yours.
"F. s. JACKSON,
Attorney General
T. M. James of North Topeka, one
of the people who has been most ac-
tive in the drainage board work, said
today:
From the friendliness of the court
indicated in the proposed compromise
between the attorneys for the railway
and the Kansas City,
Kan, drainage board, and the proba-
bility of an early conclusion and
ters of difference, the North Topeka
drainage board has taken occasion to
get in readiness for work and the sale
of their bonds, and has procured an
