GlPSPLEADS GUILTY
steamship agent Fined $1,000
for RebatiRg.

Adrian cirs. general agent 81 the Eo.-
tRnd-AmeFsca Steamship lane, pleaded
eullty yesterday 20 accepting rebates from
tho railroad. With his plea % guilty the
Eovernmezt believes that the end of the
prosecutions OF the railroad men indicted
she same time rs Gips Is in sight. No as
suranoes have been received thar the six
moE viii plead as did Clips. but there was
= feeling On the Federal Building yesterday
shat the cases would soon he closed With
out trials.
Gips could have been fined more than
$1,000 n the FUN penalty Cor each count
fn the indictments had been imposed. The
inlprisoumcnt penalty, two years on each
count. could also have been fo- more than
o lifetime. Judge Holt fined Clips slooo
and did not sentence him 10 prison.
Henry A. Wise. the United states at
torney accepted tho plea n guilty. and
as1e6 that a substantial punishment he in
ricted. Counsel for Gips. Charles buriing-
ham. admitted without hesitation the truth
~ tho charges. but said there was cues
tion whether the steamship company could
Ne regarded as q shipper. which. n accepted
o. fact. would bring n under the pro-
Nisions OF the Elkins act. upon which the
sndictments were based. Mr.. Birmingham
waived AlHA AAliiAs STU AAto ~RAAA AtA.t'N1-N
she fine.
counsel Tor the government feel that the
Plea Was an acceptance of the federal as
.er1ion that tho steamship companies are
shippers and not agents, and, therefore, de-
sp.to the snallness OF the hne. that II has
aeon established that the man or men or
cooperation that controls the routing OF
greight Can be regarded as tho shipper,
something not heretofore held. one OF the
assistant United States attorneys said last
evening.
The railroads have been az the mercy
cf the agents in control of the routing OF
soreign freight under the belief that as
sgonts tney were rot amenable 10 the
l,lkins law. This control VAS held over the
domestic shippers as q club, and rebates
were freely obtained. III the railroads
wanted business OF this character they had
10 accede 10 che ferms. This control OF
soating included the control from the sea-
hoard inland. The plea of guilty was not
,nade without a careful consideration Of
this phase OF tie case. and permitting the
rlea meant shat our contention that the
sgent Was q shipper under the act could
not be successfully fought
