SPITE OF CONVICTION FOR THEFT

Rome, Feb. 24-The senate, sitting as
a high court, after ten hours deiibera-
ton, today convicted Nunzio Mast. for
mer minister of public instruction. of
embezzlement from the state treasury.
1t sentenced him to eleven months and
twenty days imprisonment, and de-
barred him from. holding public office
for four years and two months.
The punishment of Nasi is not SO Sc
we're as might appear, for the court
found extenuating circumstances and
permitted the Imprisonment the ac-
cused had already undergone to be
subtracted from the sentence. This
leaves only a few days for him to
serve in prison. Nasi's secretary, Lom-
bardo, who was also on trial before the
senate. was acquitted for lack of evil
dence.
The former minister was greatly dis
tressed at the verdict, and exclaimed:

SANDY MEETING
IS FRIENDLY TO
j. S. SMELTER
Committee Named to Make e.
fort to Reconcile 0p-
posing Farmers.
SPEAKERS ASK FAIR
PLAY FOR COMPANY
SUGGEST THAT ENTERPRISE
GET SAME RIGHTS ACCORDED
TO THE A. S. G. r. COMPANY.

Business men, wOrkingmen and farm
ers gathered at Sandy last night to dis
cuss the smelter situation. The chief
topic of interest at the meeting was the
operation of the smelter of the United
States company at Bingham Junction.
After many speakers were heard, a
committee of five was appointed to con-
fer with the farmers and with the pres
ident and officers of the United States
company, for the purpose of bringing
about some sort of understanding by
which the smelter can operate The
committee was composed of c. c.
CrapOe of Sandy John a. Walker of
Union, Heber A. Smith of Draper, c. E
Gaufin of Bingham Junction, and F. A.
Cooper of West Jordan.
The meeting was called to order by
w. w. Wilson. who explained that it
would be necessary for those present
TO choose a chairman. At this, Samuel
Perry demanded to know who had
called the meeting.
WAS it called by the farmers" he
asked, ''or was il called by the citizens
at large?'
Mr.. Wilson replied that he did not
know, but added that il was understood
that it was to be gathering of farm
ers, business men and smelter work.
men.
Wilson FaVors SmeIter.
Some one in the crowd placed Nh
Wilson in nomination for chairman.
There were no other nominations, and
he was chosen. Clifford l: Golf was
made secretary.
In taking the chair, Mr.. Wilson said:
"At Murray. the plant of the AmeTi-
can Smelling & Refining company is
running. 1t seems to be only a mat
ter of simple justice that the United
States plant at Bingham Junction
should be allowed to run on the terms
granted to the smelter at Murray. The
purpose of this meeting. as | under
stand 1t, is to arrange for the petition
ing of Judge Marshall of the federal
court TO grant the United States COM
pany the right to operate on the terms
secured by the American Smelling &
Refining company. This petition is to
be signed by farmers. Workingmen and
business men of the southern portion
of Salt Lake county.
There is not a man i'm this part of the
county who could justly oppose the
opening of the smelter to it's full ca
pacity if it can be run without damag-
ing the farmers"

Washington, Feb. 24.-The question
whether the rate law, known as the
Hepburn act, repeats section one of
| the ElHins act. prohibiting rebates by
railroads. was involved in the case of
the Great Northern company versus
the United States. which was decided
today by the supreme court of the
United States against the railroad COM
pany and against the contention of
such repeal.
The case was instituted in the United
States district court from the district
OF Minnesota, which court fined the
railroad $1,000 each for fifteen viola
tions of the first section of the Elkins
law.
Admitted Relating.
The alleged Offenses against the law
were committed during the summer of
1909 and consisted i'm granting conces-
sions TO the w. P. Devereaux company
on its shipments of oats and corn from
Minneapolis to points in Washington
The company admitted the concessions
and fought the prosecution on the
ground that by amending the Elkins
act so as to provide for punishment by
Imprisonment rather than by fines the
Hepburn law had so modified the
original law as to accomplish its re-
peal and render punishment under it
impracticable. Today's decision was
announced by Justice White and al
firmed the finding of the district court
and the United States circuit court of
appeals.
Pending Gases Not Affected.
Justice White said that the effect of
the Hepburn law in repeating the Elk
ms act must be considered in the light
of section Is. revised statutes, which
provides that the repeal of any statute
shall not have the effect of releasing
any penalty or liability incurred under
the statute repealed. He said it was
clear that the mere repeal of conflict
ing laws is in TO way repugnant TO that
statute. and there could be no conten-
ton that, standing alone, the act had
the result of destroying the effect of
section 13 Quoting section 1O7 of the
Hepburn act which provides that the
act shall not affect eases pending in
the courts Justice White said:
The difficulty of construction, II
any. arises from the word following the
general repeating clause. But the

not affect causes now pending in the
