ROAD MUST PAY REBATE TINES
Federal Circuit Court Of Appeals De.
cides Against Omaha Road
Must Pay $zo,o0o.

st. Paul, May 81. - The United
States circuit court Of appeals yester.
day handed down an important deci-
sion affirming the Judgment OF the
court below In sentencing the Omaha
road and H. M. Pearce, freight traffic
manager, to pay fines of $4,000 and
$4,000, respectively, for making con.
cessions to the Spencer-Grain compa-
NY on interstate shipments In viola
ton of the Elkins law~ The decision
In effect holds that the law against re,
bate must be complied with to the let
ter, that the fact that the same con-
cession Is made to all shippers over
the same route, so that there is no
discrimination, being immaterial The
gravamen of the offense consists in
granting a lower rate or a concession
from the rates published in the SEIZED
ules filed by the carrier with the in
terstate commerce commission. Good
faith on the part OF the parties can
not alter the legal effect of such de-
parture from the published rates. The
opinion OF the court is written by
Judge Adams, Judge Sanborn and
Judge Phillips concurring.

Telling Evidence for Defense.
a handwriting expert testified that
Ia his opinion the body OF the letter In
which Senator Plat was alleged to
have admitted his relation as husband

toners called by counsel for Senator
Platt that the blank form upon which
the alleged Platt-Wood marriage GER
tifcate was prepared was not litho-
graphed until three months after the
date upon which the marriage of Miss
Wood to Senator Plat was alleged to
have taken place.

hearing the testimony about the mar
riage certificate, she still reiterated

cate. as she previously testified.

Justice O'Gorman turned to Miss
Wood and pointedly questioned her.
She repeated her assertion that the
marriage occurred as she had stated.
Senator Platt's counsel then moved
for dismisasl Of the complaint 1t
was forthwith granted by Justice

sion said

Winona, Mimi, May 27.--The new

school, for which an appropriation
was made at the last session of the
legislature, may not be erected this
summer. 1t appears that the plans
submitted by the Winona. authorities,
which embodied their ideas OF what
will be required, are said to require
building that cannot be erected with
the money available, and the plans
will have to be modified accordingly.
