 Judge smith McPherson tiaen fined Thomas s7000 and Taggart 5000. emitting jail sentences. previously as- sessed. Both defendants were in court and after sentence was passed. checks covering the fines were rendered and accepted by the Judge. Thus ends the case against these men. The jail sem te4ce which was omitted today, was the hrst sentence of Imprisonment evef imposed for relating.
 George |. Thomas maintained a brokerage Of Kansas City and repre- sented practically all the important shippers on the Missouri and Missis- sippi rivers and . contract o-route their freight from the East and to Thomas, with his clerk L. B. Tagkart, was indicted in, December, 1905, charged with conspiring with Barton Brothers, wholesale shoe merchants of Kansas City, to pay rebates on the lat ter firms shipments They were found guilty. Thomas. as the principal. was fined s6,00o. and sentenced to serve AO0A AiOhhA8 AhA 58AAs anu 46886Tt W61 fined $4.000. and sentenced to serve three months in jail.
 This was the first jail sentence ever imposed In this country for relating. An appeal was taken and the verdict was reversed on the ground that the lower court had failed to instruct the jury on the presumption of innocence of the defendants, a technical point At the time that Thomas and Taggart were found guilty. the following other verdicts were also returned in the Fed eral Court here on charges of mahfna concessions and accepting and conspir- ing to accept rebates: Swift & Cona- pany, s15,o0e; Cudahy Packing Com- pany. s15,ooo; Armour Packing Com pany, s15,000; Nelson Morris & Com pany, s15,00o. and the Chicago.

When the case of Thomas and Taggart was called before the Judge MoPher- son today, Jifdge o. M. Spencer of St. Joseph, Mo, general solicitor of the Burlington road, appeared for the de- fendants. Judge Spencer entered sa plea of guilty upon behalf of Thomas and TAggart.
 Judge McPherson in passing sentence upon Thomas and Taggart said: dTr the full belief that the vicious prac- tices of these defendants and the nav ment of rebates have been stopped. ana in the belief that the practice of re- batting generally over the country hsa been brought to an end by the vtRor- ous action of the government throncb the efforts of the United States Athor. ney of this Distric as we'll an otbs~ Districts, there Is no occasion for tha order of Imprisonment"
