Hence Sentence Is T.lfrht Steamship Company Is Innocent, NEW YORK, April 7. The Grrat North ern Railway Company was today con victed of granting- rebates to th Amer ican Surar ReflninfT Company, before JudTft Holt, in the United States Circuit Court, and flnpd foOOO. The company vras charged hy the Government with giving rebate on sugar shipped from this city to Sioux CUy, la., in 1902. Counsel for the company gave notice of appeal. The rebating Indictments against the North ern Steamship Company were dismissed. The trial was remarkable for its brevity, lusting only two days. Before Judge Holt imposed the fine Vnltedi Statns IMstrict Attorney Stimson called the court's attention to the fact that there had been no attempted con cealment of the alleged crime upon the part of the defendant. "There is no element of concealment in this case. said Mr. Stimson. ""and the court will recall that In the case of the New York Central, convicted for the came offense, there was an elaborate sys tem of bookkeeping, which concealed the payment of rebates, and the giving of the rebate money was kept off the regular books of the company. There is nothing of that kind, 1 am glad to say, in this case. Mr. Stimson asked that the court dis miss the rebating indictments against the Northern Steamship Company. "I will state -In explanation," he said, 'that at the time the indictments were returned the Government understood that the actual payment of the rebates was made by the Northern Steamship Com pany, but later developments have shown us that the payment was made by the Great Northern Rai'.road Company, for which it just has been convicted." The motion was grunted. Judge Holt charged the Jury, and his interpretation of the law strongly favored the Government's contention- Had th case been a civil one, the court paid it would have instructed the jury to return a verdict in favor f the complainant, but being a crim inal action the law did not permit uch instructions.

I-OS ANGELES. April 7. Edward Cham bers, assistant freight trafric manager of the Santa Fe Railway- with headquarters in San Francisco, was on the sand most of the morninjr In the investigation of railroad discrimination by the State Rail road Commission. He testified that Haas, Baruch & Company, wholesale grocers, of Los Angeles, had an inside rate of $4.05 a ton on ujrar shipped on the Santa Fe from San Francisco, when the pub lished tariff was 55.56 a ton. About the same time, he testified, the J. R. New berry Company was getting a rate of $3.60 a ton on the same commodity from the same point. Mr. Chambers would not admit that this was discrimination in favor of the Newberry Company, explaining that these special rates were made to get business away from the steamship routes, and that the Santa Fe had to meet the water rates. He further said the water rates were constantly changing, which he of fer as an explanation of the difference in the rates giver. W. G. Barnwell, general agent for the road, stated that the system of "refunds" had been abolished early in 1906 and that some payments might have been made to shippers later on business done before the system was abolished. He also said some ppecial billing orders might have been issued since. Dr. Koch in New York. NFTW YORK. April 7. Tr.

KEEP HINDUS AT HOME Ca n a d a A rra n gos Wi t h Home Gov ernment to Stop Immigration. LONDON, April 7. As a result of the conferences held in this city between Mackenzie King, Deputy Minister of Labor of Canada; John Morley. Secretary of State for India, and the Earl of Elgin, Secretary of State for the Colonies, a satisfactory solution of the difficulty arisine out of the influx of Hindus to Canada has been -found. While no legislation to restrict this movement from India will be nassed. administrative meas ures will be taken to deter the Indians from going to Canada. This will take the -form of sending cir culars to the Punjab and other districts in India whence the people have been emigrating and it will be explained that the condition of the labor market makes it undesirable for Indian workmen to go to Canada and that the Canadian climate also is unsulted to them. Other steps will be taken to counteract the work of the emigration agents and regulations have been drawn up for the vessels engaged In this trade that will make it necessary for them to increase the cost of passage. The cheapness of the fare is today one of the inducements to most of the Indians for leaving their own country. BRIEF NEWS BY TELEGRAPH Philadelphia.
