SANTA FE HAS A GRIEVANCE
President Ripley Critieizes Federal
Judge Wellborn for Filming the
Road for Relating.

Chicago. Nov. S0.-In a signed state
ment in the current issue of the Rail-
way Age, E. P. Ripley, president of the
Santa Fe road, has taken to task Judge
Wellborn of the United States court at
Los Angeles, for having fined the rail-
road $S30,000 for payment of rebates
After giving a long explanation of
the case to show that it was a mistake
of a clerk and one of which the officers
of the company we're unaware, and
saying that he believes the court to
have erred from a misunderstanding of
the conditions and not from a desire
to be sensational, Mr.. Ripley says:
81 refrain from comment, except to
put before faiT-minded business men
these questions; What incentive had
the clerk TO violate the strict orders
from his superiOrs to conform to the
law? If there was no incentive, is II
more than a fair presumption that he
did not intend to violate the law? If.
without incentive and without intent.
he did, under a strict technical con-
structiOn, violate the law to the ex-
tent Of paying s400, should his employ
ing company, the officers of which
knew nothing of the transaction, be
mulcted for $4,000? Does the punish
ment fit the crime?'
WeIIborn's Ruling.
Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 3O.-'It is not
fitting that l should reply TO the state
ment Of Mr.. Ripley" said Judge DIN
Weliborn, whose attention was called
to d dispatch from Chicago quoting
criticism Of the federal judge published
in the Railway Age. 4 do not con-
slider it proper to pay attention to such
criticism, but the record of the trial
speaks for itself"
Judge Wellborn designated a written
ruling on motion of the government at
torney to exclude evidence which tend
ed to show that the rebates were given
in compromise on account of claims for
goods lost in transit and not in dis
elimination in favor of the preferred
shipper against its competitors.
In the ruling referred TO, Judge Well
born said:
Il hold that the acceptance by the
defendant Of a less sum of money than
that named in its tariff for the trans
portation of the property described in
the indictment, if there has been such
acceptance was departure from the le-
gal rate. and that it is no justification
for departure, nor is it any defense
to a prosecution therefor that the acts
of the carrier were done in compromise
for loss of property in transit"

Further than this. the secretary was

very large number of bids that to

night, and that it might take some
close calculations to determine just
which bids were successful and which
were not. No doubt, a considerable

cradle amounts by irresponsible parties
who hoped, if successful. to be able to
sell their awards at profit, and these
suspicious cases would have to be
looked into before final awards were
made. The secretary said, however,

UNCLE SAM ENRICHED BY
LOST MONEY ORDERS

4 WASHINGTON woman discov-
n cred some days ago that her Ger
man nurse was destroying the money
orders she purchased to remit to the
fatherland. She had torn up within
the last five years more than $500 of
money orders, thinking they were re-
ceipts for the money deposited in the
office at Washington and that the
money had been duly sent to her old
mother in Germany.
This incident recalls the fact that
there has accumulated in the national
treasury millions Of dollars, possibly
ten millions, since the establishment
of the present system in 1864.
An official, speaking of the system,
said: This vast accumulation OF
money Is steadily being augmented
from year to year, and unless the peo-
pie become better acquainted with the
character of a money order transac-
ton the accumulated sum promises to
become almost fabulous. This money
has accumulated through no fault of
the United States.
For one thing 1t Is known that
persons purchasing money orders ig-
norantly destroy them, believing that
the order constitutes nothing more
