BIG FINES FOR BIG FRAUDS

Fines totaling Sl1,000.OO were
inflicted and paid bv Harry C Shin
er and Adolph Fortgang of the
firm r B Sinner Co, New York
who plead guilty to certain counts
in indictments brought against
them in the U S District Court,
Southern Districts of New York,
for bribing railroad employees
to furnish names of ccnsigners
shipping to other consignees and
for obtaining payment from the
railroads of false claims. for loss
and damage on shipments of eggs.
In passing sentence the Court (Ray
j. in part, stated as follows:
Mr. Sinner and MIR Fortgang,
both, will say to each of you, if
l should actually do what | ought
to do in this case, in order to
thoroughly vindicata the law and
make an example for others. one
which would have a salutary effect
in deterring others from commit
ting this and like offenses the Court
would fine you a sufficient amount
to take from you and this firm ev-
cry cent of your i'll gotten gains
and then in addition to that fine,
add a long term of imprisonment
and in this way all who are dis
posed to offend against the law and
to indulge in grossly illegal prac-
tices to enrich themselves at the
expense of others would be taught
lesson, the existence of the law
and that punishment is sure to fol-
low.
This is a serious offense. In many
of its aspects it is worse than lar
ceny: that is getting money as you
did, because it was obtaining
the money of others by fraud and
deceit, to enrich yourselves. When
a criminal goes out with a gun and
says to a man, Hold up your
hands stand and deliver" there is
an element of manliness and brav-
cry about it which is entitled to
more respect than getting money
in the ways resorted to by you in
this case. | trust you feel the
sting of this: you ought to; and
your offense and punishment will
60 out to the community. and it
will become known and will con-
slider the publicity as q part of
your punishment and as something
that will operate to deter others.
And now l want to say to you
that in foregoing the addition of
Imprisonment and imposing so light
q fine in view of the amount you
have made by your doings and that
after all the ends of justice will pro-
bSbly be served and the dignity of
the law upheld but | want to say
to you further and to each Of you
that so far as is within my power
| will see and know that the Unit
ed States Attorney and his able as
sistants will see and that the L S.
attorneys wherever they are and
wherever an offense might be in
dictable. will see to it and it's
warning and not a threat, that is
what it is-that if you should of
fend against the law again in these
respects, you need not expect to es-
cape with fine, for surely the
penalty will be not only heavy
fine, but long term of imprison-
ment, justly earned by reption
of such an offense as this.

APPROVES CALIFORNIA BILL

washington, september o-1He
House baving passed the Hetch
Het chy bill it needs now only the
concurrence of the Senate to give
to San Francisco the water supply
for which she has been working for
so many years.
The attitude Of the progressives
of Congress who supported the
measure was best set forth by Re-
preventative Warren Worth Bailey,
of PENNSYLVANIA, IN the following
speech during the debate:
In this long debate | have not
heard one argument advanced
which appealed to me as conclusive
against the claim of the people of
San Francisco to water supply
that is almost obviously essential
to her future growth and welfare.
II it were proposed in this bill to
destroy the scenic grandeur Of the
Hetch Hetchy Cr the wonders of
the Yosemite, we might we'll pause
before granting to the people of
San Francisco the concession they
desire. But it is not a mission OF
destruction which they plan, it is
one rather of adding to the natur-
al charms of this wonderland; and
it would take long to persuade me
that the lake which it is proposed
to create would detract anything
from the glory and the spIendor
of the scene which would surround
it.
No one can out do me in devotion
to the principal of conservation.
But if the sacrifices even of Mia
CARA Falls to human good were nee
essary, | should not hesitate. The
hig@ASt conservation is that of hu-
maHN life. Man is more than any
marvel of mountain or lake or for
est or rocky gorge. His fortune
and destiny demand the first con-
sideration. His health and develop
ment and progress are paramount
to every other factor which by any
possibility may be involved. And
here in this matter we have the
lives and fortunes and future pros
poets Of playground Of the gods.
Shall we save the people or shall
we keep inviolate spot that few
can ever hope TO see. Must we
think first of the sticks and stones
and loss of the planners and up
builders and the moulders of in
duStry?
If it were proposed to turn this
grant over to private monopoly,
should fight it with all my might.
But the grant is to the people of
San Francisco and the towns and
cities round about. 1t is a grant
not for exploitation, not for the
enriching of favored few, not to
be employed in extortion and op-
preston; it is grant rather which
will emancipate a great and grow
ing community from calling bond
age to merciless taskmaster
whose finger may be seen in the
opposition to this measure.
San Francisco longs for freedom
and she deserves to be free. But
If we deny her this boon she must
remain in thralldom. She must
continue to suffer as she pays tri-
butte tc remorseless private
monopoly. And she must beat vain
ly against her bars unless we break
them down by opening the noun
tain streams which sing afar of
freedom and of growth and of
heal Gnd of all which pure water
means to man."

CAPITAL COMMENT

81 want to say to you low-tariff re-
publicans, it is up to you now to dem
onstrate to the country whether or not
you were sincere in your protestation.
Some of you who are going to vote
against this bill will try to justify
your vote by saying, i am in favor of
low duties, but this particular bill is
not just to my liking Such an ex-
cuse is worse than absurd; it is dis
honest.
rs there a progressive or progress
sive republican in the United States
who honestly believes that if his party
were in power a tariff bill would be
framed which would meet the individ-
ual views of any one of their number?
Every man who knows anything
knows that if he were to live to be as
old as Methuse4ah and were TO become
as wise as Solomon, and should attain
| the craftsmanship of Daniel Webster
and were to remain in congress as long
as Joe Cannon, he would never have
an opportunity to vote for tariff bill
which suited him in every particular.

tons? Why should not they. too. be

, quaintance with IL in their daily prac-
tice, the physicians themselves are
non-plused by its virulence and myri-
ad manifestations.
II is a safe conclusion, lacking &C
curate data on the subject but judging
by general conditions, to say that
these minor ailments cause at least
as much economic loss to humanity
as the major ones. It is surely just
