Three Railroads Indicted at
Red Wing, Minn.
ACTION MAY BE CONTEMPT

United States Court Of Appeals Had
Issued Injunction Forbldding State
Officials to Take Any Steps in the
Matter.
st. Paul. June 25.-Secret indict-
ments were returned by the Goodhue
county grand jury at Red Wing
against three railroads operating in
the county on a charge of violating
the Minnesota 2-cent passenger rate
law, recently held constitutional by
the United States supreme court.
The roads indicted are said to be
the Chicago Great Western, Chicago.
Milwaukee and st. Paul and the
Northwestern.
Judge Albert Johnson, on whose in
structions the jury acted, would not
discuss the matter. 1t is not known
when the indictments will be made
public.
A. j. Rockne of Zumbrota and AL
bert Schaller of Hastings, state sen.
ators, have volunteered to prosecute
the case for the state, il is under
stood. State officials are enjoined
from acting against the railroads.
1t is understood the indictments
were returned against the railroad
companies and not against the
agents.
Judge w. II. Sanborn declined to
answer a question as To whether the
action OF the Goodhue county grand
jury in indicting the railroads for
disobeying the railroad rate law of
1907 rendered either the grand jury
or Judge Albert Johnson liable for
contempt of court to the United
States circuit court of appeals.
"You can readily see why I cannot
answer a question like that" he said.
I'm not going to answer any ques-
tions concerning the Minnesota rate
case.
You have asked a question which
may come before the federal court in
some form or other" he replied, "and
which / may be called upon to de-
eide"
