REPEATING CHARGED
INDICTMENT RETURNED AGAINST
 SANTA FEE RTTLROAD.
ATlered to Have Given United States Sugar And Land Company Benefit of Twelve ThOus-
 and I'm Rates.

Chicago, July 10-An indictment charging the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad with granting re- bates amounting to $12.OOo to the United States Sugar and Lend Com pany of Garden City, Kansas YVES re- turned today by the grand jury In the United States district court.
 The indictments contain sixty five counts. each one relating to alleged in- fr,nrement of the law and tho com nanv. if convicted is subject to maxi mum fine of $1,3O0,0 900 and minimum fine of $62,0O0. The rebates are said to have been granted by the Santa Fe Railroad while the sugar refinery was being erected at Garden City in 1905 and 1908, on shipments Of building material. the freight on which amount ed to S1OO,OO0. It is alleged that the railroad had agreed to return $35.- 0O0 of the $100,OOO but that only sl2.- 00o had been paid when complaints were heard from ether shippers ana the government commenced an inVes- . 1t is claimed by tho government officials that the officers of the rail- roads admitted that $i2.O00 was paid. but is is maintained by the railroad that the money constituted bonus to encourage the building of the sugar refinery on a site adjoinging the rail- road and was not given as rebate not as a discrimination against other shippers. -"--

ANDERSON IS GUILTY
SELMA MAN CONVICTED OF SECOND
 DEGREE MURDER.
He Shot and Killed Ed. Boykin During Fair Last Fa1l-Hugh Hud.
 son Seriously Hurt In Fight.
Advertiser Bureau,

SAUNSAsAsCE buTe6u, Selma, July 10. After being out about fifteen hours the jury in the case of Robert A. An~ derson, charged with the murder of Edward J. Boykin, returned a, verdict of guilty of murder in the second de- gree against the defendant this morning ut 10:30 o'clock. The maximum pun ishment for murder in the second de- gree is twelve years Imprisonment
 Shortly after the verdict of the jury had been read by Foreman s. A. Key holds, Judge J. W. Mabry again called the court to order for the purpose of sentencing the prisoner. Anderson was sworn and answered a few dues- lions which were put to him by Clerk J. B. Evans.
 Hon. A. L. Mcleod in behalf of the defendant asked Judge Mabry to sus- pend the sentence of the jury until the decision of the Supreme Court had been received.
 The verdict of murder in the second degree which the jury returned against Anderson this morning proved quite surprise. After 1t had been out so long. it was generally believed that the jury would make a mistriaI or that the defendant would be acquitted. But from one of the jurymen 1t was later learned that the acquittal of Ander- son had never been considered. A few of the jury held out for a long while for life sentence, but later changed to sentence for forty years and after. wards compromised on a verdict of murder in the second degree.
 Many persons gathered in the court room early this morning and waited for the jury to render It's verdict Ra- sides the idle spectators there was the wife and an aunt of the defendant and other relatives. The prisoner appear ed light hearted and tried to cheer up his wife, but when the verdict was read, Mrs. Anderson burst into tears and it was several minutes before she stifled her sobs.
 The cheerful air of confidence never left the prisoner until after his wife and aunt had gone from his side. Then a worried look came into his face and he blinked his eyes hard to keep the tears back. After the appeal had been taken Anderson was carried to the county jail where he will stay until the Supreme Court has reversed or confirmed the verdict which the jury rendered this morning.
 The killing of Edward J. Boykin took place at the faif grounds last No vember during the second annual fair of the Central Alabama Fair Associa- tion. Both Boykin and Anderson were acting police officers at the fair grounds.

willing to assign him to Naval Affairs.
 Representative Hefiin and his friends will make a strong effort in the next House to have him appointed a mem Der of the Rivers and Harbors Commit tee. As is well known Captain Bank head was for a number of terms a member of this very important Com mittee. In the last House all five of the Democrats on the Committee were from Southern States. The four others besides Captain Bankhead were Messrs. Sparkman of Florida, Ransdell of Lou isiana, Burgess of Texas and Humph- reys of Mississippi
 In the last House MT. Hefiin, being the newest member in the Alabama del- egation. did not get desirable Commit tee positions, having been placed on Coinage. Weights and Measures and on Mines and Mining. The former Com mittee has practically been a dead one since the Bland silver act was passed in the Fifty-first Congress, and just why that on Mines and Mining Is kept up no one seems to know, for 1t seldom has a meeting. As the Democratic strength in the next House Is much larger than 1t was in the last the Re- publicans will doubtless accord the mi- nority one more member on Rivers and Harbors, and this will increase MT. Hefiin's chances of being recognized.
 Representative Craig. the successor of MT. Bowie. will. of course. have to take minor assignments. as he is the newest member of the delegation.
 Alabama Committee.
 So far as the Democrats were con- cerned in the last House the Alabama delegation had the cream of committee positions. and if they are all living next winter they will hold on to these desirable places. which are as follows: MT. Taylor on Appropriations. Mir. ley on Military Affairs. MT. Underwood on Ways and Means. Judge Richardson on Interstate and Foreign Commerce and MT. Burnett on Immigration and Naturalization and on Public Lands.
 In the last House MT. Bowie was on the important Committee on Agricul- ture. It is hardly probable that his successor will be put on the same com mittee. This assignment is likely to go to one of the older members from Southern State. Perhaps if Mir. Hef- lin fails to connect with Rivers and Harbors he may be able to land on Ag- riculture.
 Every now and then a rumor is set afloat here that the country need not be surprised if President Roosevelt were to suddenly make up his mind to call nn extra session of Congress to meet about the middle of October. The few Republican members who have been in the city this week declared there was no basis for any such ru- nor, and yet one or two admitted pri- vately that the head of the nation was liable to be seized suddenly with q mo- tion that something was out of whack, and that it was his duty to spring a sensation before quitting his high of- flee.
 The average Republican is constant ly on the anxious bench lest Mfr. Roosevelt should get it into his head that moderate revision of the tariff should be brought about before the election of next year. and Republican protectionists will not rest easy until after Jack Frost makes his appear ance.

Andrews Cases Nol Pressed.

In the criminal court this morning County Solicitor Loftin mol pressed all of the information standing against James M. Andrews, Cary l.. Fulton and John E. Long. The latter was exonerated on one charge or tamper- ing with State witnesses in the An drews case, but another charge stood arainst him on the docket, which has now been wiped off. Andrews, who IS to serve six years for defrauding the county by padding the pay rolls as chairman of the board, had half dozen other similar charges pending against him, while Fulton as con- tractor in the employ of the county was convicted of a similar charge and still had another pending. As the two are now serving long sentences the county solicitor decided not to hold the additional charges against them and consequently entered the proceed ings to mol pros.
