LEAP YEAR PARTY WAS
AN UNUSUAL SUCCESS

Every time a big party is pulled
off at the Commercial Club new set
of patronesses is appointed, and each
one of these committees strains ev-
cry nerve to make their affair as sue
cessful as the one preceding, possibly
little more So And, thus every par
| ty given at the Club is a success.
But the Leap Year Party last night
was an unusual success. The oppor-
tunity for change and diversion from
the well worn path was rife and the
committee was one that was capable

assisting with refreshments, as the
patronesses are accustomed to doing.
The crowd was divided into two
parts, those who wished to play
cards and those who danced. There
were eleven tables filed with play
ers, four or five to the table, and
about thirty couples filed the dance

with the partners they wanted. They
even hunted up their partners as the

RAILROAD MEN PAY
FINES FOR REBATING

Kansas City, Jan. 25.-George l..
Thomas, freight broker of New York
City, and L. B. Taggart, his clerk,
pleaded guilty in the United States
district court here today to the
charge of conspiring to pay rebates
to shippers. Judge Smith Mcpherson
then fined Thomas $1,000 and Tag
previously assessed. Both defendants
were in court, and after sentence was
passed checks covering the fines
were rendered and accepted by the
court
Judge Mcpherson in reviewing the
case, said that although the former
verdict had been reversed by the
Court of Appeals, it was simply upon
a technical point, and the government
was successful on every question of
the slightest Importance in the case.
The Judge said nat il the full be-
lief that the vicious practices of
these defendants and the payment of
rebates has been stopped, and in
view of the belief that the practice
of rebating generally over the coun-
try has been brought to an end by
the rigorous action of the government
through the office of the United
States attorney of this district as
well as those of other districts, there
was no occasion for an order of i'm
prisonment.
Judge Mcpherson took advantage
of the occasion to say that he believ-
ed the firms that accepted rebates
were as guilty as the defendant rail
roads. and he had never been able
to understand why they had not
been indicted. He would have liked
he said, to have passed sentence upon
them. THE railroads." declared the
Judge, ''are bounded to death with
rebate-seekers. They are not entirely
to blame for all the rebating that has
been done.'
