SIMS GOES TO PRISON.
Former Insurance Manager Given
Three Year Sentence.

Friends of John G. Sims, the former
local manager of the Life Insurance
Company Of Virginia, who pleaded guilty
to the embezzlement Of 5000 from tn
companys exchequer. made strenuous ef-
fort to save him from the penitentiary,
but the effort has proved futile. A strong
plea was made to have the court put
the prisoner on probation. but the chief
justice, who was presiding, declared his
duty required him to send Sims to tn,
penitenuary. He accordingly sentenced
him to serve three years.
The chief justice expressed the deepest
sympathy for the wife of Sims. and de-
ciared that was the only reason why he
did not give longer term of imprison-
ment The court told Sims he is still a
young man, and after serving his SEN
tence and explaining the crime he had
ample opportunity to redeem his previous
good character.

TWO RA1LwAYL1NEs INVOLVED

SAVANNAH. Ga, December after
hearing testimony since noon Mon
day, the federal grand jury Of the
United States district court handed
down indictments early this afternoon
charging an infringement Of the anti
trust laws on the part of three large
corpora tons and two individuals.
The Atlantic Coast Line railway and
Seaboard Air Line railway were jointly
indicted with the Merchants and Min
ers Transportation Company for spe-
cific violations of the Sherman anti
trust and Elkins laws. Harvie Miller
and Morris Miller, grain merchants and
members Of the firm Of L. F. Miller &
Sons Of Philadelphia, were the indi-
viduals to feel the wrath Of the gov

source. No expectation existed in con-
nection with Morris Miller.
Grain Rates Cut.

defendants are alleged to have made ship
than those on file with the interstate
commerce commission. 1t is alleged that
from western points to Philadelphia the
Millers secured export rates where the
law demanded they should be shipped
under domestic rates. This saved them
from 1 to 3 cents on every hundred
pounds of grain shipped.
The Miller brothers put themselves in
the jurisdiction OF the United States court
for the southern district of Georgia
through their shipments into this district
over the lines of the three corporations
indicated.
Each indictment is signed by Alexander
A. Akerman, assistant district attorney
for the southern district Of Georgia, and
by John f. Price, foreman of the grand
jury. Immediately after the indictments
were presented Judge Emory Speer thank
ed the grand jury for its promtp and eff
fective work. and commented on the ex-
ample of patriotism 1t had set through
the service rendered.
