SANTA FE rs INDICTED
WESTERN ROAD IS CHARGED
WITH GRANTING REBATES.

CHICAGO, July 1O.-An indictment charg-
ing the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad with granting rebates amounting
to $4,000 to the United States Sugar and
Land Company of Garden City, Kan, was
returned today by the grand jury in the
United States district court.
The indictment contains sixty-flve counts,
each alleging infringement of the federal
law, and the company, If convicted, is SUBJ
ject TO a maximum fine of $l30O,O00 or
minimum fine of $4,000.
The rebates are said to have been granted
by the Santa Fee railroad while the sugar
refinery was being erected at Garden City
In 1905 and 1906 on shipments of building
material, the freight on which amounted
to 100000. 1t Is alleged that the railroad
had agreed to return S35,OOO of the $780,
600, but that only $4,000 had been paid
when complaints were heard from other
shippers, and the government commenced
an investigation.
1t is asserted by the government officials
that the officers of the railroad have ad-
mitted that ST., 600 was paid. but 1t is MAIN
tanned by the railroad that the money con-
stituted bonus to encourage the building
of the sugar refinery on a site adjoining the
railroad, and was not given as rebate,
nor as a discrimination against other ship
pers.

For External Use Only" statement
was presented to the court from Health Of
ficer Woodward declaring that pure lau-
danum is never used as a lniment or ONT
ment by itself, and on this statement the
decision of the case largely rested.
1T would practically nullify the whole
law if l should hold that the contention OF
this defendant was right" said Judge Kim
ball. THE law makes an exception in
cases of preparations containing opium or
laudanum, when such preparations are to
be used as ointments or liniments, but 1t
SAYS nothing about the pure drugs. II
pure drugs were allowed to be sold for ex-
ternal use all those who wanted the drugs
would buy them for external use, but would
use them internally.
This definition of the law is regarded as
important, as this point has been doubtful
since the passage of the act.

with the exception of Kenneth, had any
ideas as to the methods to be pursued to
resuscitate the unconscious boy.

hurried off for assistance. AS soon as Ken
meth recovered from his effort to reach the
shore he began working to bring his brother
back to consciousness. Taking the appar-
emily drowned boy he held him over his
knee and by vigorous work he succeeded in
getting the water out of Leslie's lungs. AS
there were no signs Of life the younger
boy continued the work, alternating be-
tween massaging and bending his uncon-
scious brother over his knee. This was
kept up for nearly one hour, when Leslie
regained consciousness. In the words of
Kenneth, his brother was "out Of his head
even after he recovered.

afternoon. Leslie was assisted to Massa-

given stimulants was taken to his home
by the smaller brother, who refused the
offer Of Policeman Allen to call an ambu-
lance. When the boys arrived home they
were fearful lest their mother should learn
of the narrow escape of one of them from
death. and when she inquired as to Leslie's
paeness they answered that it prob
ably due to a small cut which he has upon
his left hand. Nothing more was said
until the rescue came to light this morn

Washington has a candidate for a Car
negie medal for life saving in Kenneth
Hines, the thirteen-year-old son of Mrs.
Susan w. Parker Of 1915 K street north
west. His heroic feat occurred yesterday
afternoon shortly after l o'clock, when the
boy bore the almost lifeless form Of his
ffteen-year- old brother, Leslie Clarkson
Hines from the waters of Rock creek
near Thompsons bridge. After reaching
the shore the thirteen-year-old life saver
Immediately started on the work Of resusci-
tation, and after about one hour OF strenu-
Gus endeavo- he was rewarded by seeing his
brother open his eyes and ask what had
happened.
According to the story Of Kenneth, he
and his brother Leslie, together with Elton
Wilton, who resides at Is o street north
east, determined to go to Rock creek yes
terday morning for a swim. The mother
of the Hines boys had repeatedly told her
boys to keep away from Rock creek, but
Kenneth, Leslie and their companion quiet
ly stole away and started down Massachu-
sets avenue for the stream When they
reached the favorite swimming hole, which
is located just off Massachusetts avenue
extended, they lost little time In disrobing
and preparing for the plunge. After they
had been swimming for a short time
several other boys came down the bank.
Kenneth, who swim like duck, was
about twenty-five feet from the shore with
his companions, splashing about In the cool
water.
Soon one of the new arrivals. known to
the boys as "TeXie,'' owing to the fact, it
is stated. that he is a native of Texas,
thought he would have a little fun with the
smaller ones. He grabbed Leslie by the
right arm and proceeded to give him the
water cure" while Kenneth and the other
boys swan about. He held the boy under
the water for some seconds and when he
released his hold Leslie seemed unable to
swim. He was apparently fast losing con-
seriousness. and as he began to sink showed
symptoms of cramps

WOMAN STRIKES WOMAN.
So Mary Greer Gets $40 or Thirty
DAYS.

On charge of striking Mary Turner,
sixty-eight years old and very feeble, Mary
Greer was a defendant before Judge Mills
in the Police Court this morning. For the
one blow alleged to have been struck the
defendant was ordered to pay $40 or to
serve thirty days on the banks Of the East
ern branch.
The aged woman was returning from a
trip to market yesterday, tired from carry
ing the heavy market basket. When she
reached the door of her house at 1910 Wis
consin avenue northwest she found Mary
Greer blocking the way. She asked the
woman to let her pass, but Mary Greer was
too comfortable to move. When Mrs. Tur-
ner tried to pass, 1t was testified. the
younger woman jumped up and struck her
in the back.
After receiving the blow the older woman
began to cry for help. Neighbors rushed in
and quelled Mary Greer, who was taken by
Policeman Peterson to the station house.
