Extension Of Freight
RATE Increase Won
By Railroads
Temporary Charges on
Btuminous Cool
Held Reasonable
1y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Nations railroads won an
indefinite extension yesterday of
the temporary increases in freight
rates on bituminous coal.
Granting the carriers request, "in
view Of the present level of railroad
expenses and taxes" the Interstate
Commerce Commission said the rates
were "just and reasonable and will
be 50 for the indefinite future"
Glass l railroads have estimated
the increases, which range from
3 to Is cents per net ton, depending
on the length of the haul, will add
$19, ,374, ,421 to their 1898 revenues.
Continuance Opposed.
The National Bituminous Coal
Commission, the Consumers Coun-
sci, the National Coal Association
and others opposed continuance of
the higher rates. They attempted to
show the rates had an important
effect on the reduction in coal traffic
by rail.
Commissioner Joseph B. Eastman
opposed continuing the increases
in the case of the so-called Pocahon-
tas unes-the Chesapeake & Ohio,
the Norfolk & Western and the
Virginian. Because of heavy btu
minous traffic these three railroads

Contention for Sadur.
For Sadur, Attorney Leo A. Rover
argued that the Government was
disregarding the Warning numbers
books and trying to prove its case
by expenditures they made and yet
including Sadur in the alleged con-
spiracy when the tax expert went
entirely by the books and knew
nothing of the expenditures.
Justice Laws held that prima

against all four of the defendants
and the evidence was a matter for
the jury to weigh.

tai late yesterday. denied, his voice
shaking with indignation, the testi-
mony of Sadur that he had been
asked by Mr.. O'Connell to drop the
Warnings and turn Government wit
ness.
Mr.. O'Connell testified that Sa-
dur called on him early in Decem-
ber of last year and asked a con-
ference over the Warning case,
which had been sent by the Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau to the De-
partment of Justice, with recon-
mendation that it be prosecuted
Sadur, said the justice official, eX-
pressed great surprise when told he

What would you suggest that I
do?" Mr.. O'Connell said the ac-
countant asked him, and he replied: !:
"'You are involved in this case, and
on the present set-up it looks like
you ought to be prosecuted. You
should try to clear your own skirts.
In fairness to the Warnings, you
should tell them your situation, and
they should have an opportunity to
obtain other counsel I asked him
If he withdrew as tax counsel for
the Warnings, to let us know"

Mr.. O'Connell explained that at

The assistant to the Attorney
General also denied Sadur's asser-,
ton that he had been asked at a
later conference over the Warning
case whether he had concealed $780,
600 in police protection money in
the 1886 books. Mr.. OConnell said
no such figure ever was mentioned,
but they discussed only the item OF
$4,000 which the Government
charges the Warnings and Sadur at
tempted to hide in a 1885 tax sched-
ule.
Testimony in the long -drawn-out
trial closed without any explanation
of the protection Emmitt was
quoted repeatedly as having said he
paid. Efforts of Justice Laws to
bring out from various witnesses
further details of the alleged bribes
elected only the response that En-
mitt never would say who got the
money.
The defense closed after calling
only two witnesses-Sadur and Will

not depending on this figure to show
the conspiracy.
Where did Emmitt get the $13 900
to corrupt the police of the District
Of Columbia to permit this business
to run?" demanded Mr.. Wilson.
Where is the $4,000, which Emmitt
said he paid, accounted for? It isn't
in the books unless it's tucked away
in the hit column, where it would be
impossible ever to find it,"

Aside from that, Mr.. Wilson added.
the Government had proved that
Emmitt alone spent $4,000 for auto
mobiles, payment on a house and
various other things that year. 1T

added

to the boat for which Emmitt paid
5000, the town house he was buying
and the country home at Colonial
Beach as "luxuries of rich man."
William B. O'Connell, one of the at
torneys for the Warnings, jumped to
his feet and objected strenuously
when Mr.. Wilson referred to the
numbers game as "a racket" Justice
Bolitha j. Laws overruled the OBJ
lection.
Mr.. Wilson scoffed at the claim
of Emmitt Warning that he bor-
rowed large sums from two gam
blers, both since dead. He pointed
out that the undisputed evidence
showed Emmitt had $2,500 in bank
accounts when he started his num-
bers business cary in 1884 and
never had to tap these deposits.
This, in the opinion of the prose-
cutor, was convincing evidence that
from the first he made enough
money from the numbers to pay off
hits" and build up the business.
He certainly would have withdrawn
the bank money before borrowing
from the late Eddie Killeen or the
late Sam Melinkov, gambling friends,
Mr.. Wilson argued.

With three hours on each side
allotted by Justice Laws for argu-
ments of counsel and the courts
charge to the jury to follow, the
case was expected to be given to
the jury late this afternoon, though
there was a possibility that this
might be deferred until tomorrow

will then start celebrating over
whether Emmitt, Leo and Charles

wiser, Gordon L. R. Sadur, conspired
to defraud the Government of profit

trial is midway in its third week.
