 WAS NOT DEFRAUDED

New York, May 27.-Testmony intended to prove that the United States was not defrauded when John Burke, manager of the Panama railroads commissary de- partment, accepted s20,0oO commissions in supplies from Jacob Salas. a merchant, was introduced by the defense at Salas trial today. Salas con- tends that the Panama railroad was oper- ated as private corporation and not as an adjunct of the government.
 The defense called Theodore P Shonts. former chairman of the Isthmian canal commission, who testified that William H. Taft. when Secretary of War had decided that the road should be oper- ated as ''an independent corporation He was called after Judge Hunt had ruled that the road. being owned solely by the United States, was really government agency. although operated for conven- fence sake as separate corporate entity" The court added that "in the usual con spracy of this sort. the conspirators do not set out primarily to defraud the government, but to get money and that the intent to defraud the government crops up more or less incidentally
 Edward A. Drake, vice president of the road. testified that Burke's salary was paid from the funds of the road The government however, put into the rec ord through MT. Drake letters from Sec retary Taft, which gave instructions that the commissary department of the road be placed under the control of the com mission, even though i've have to main tain the commissary nominally within the railroad'
