Verdict Against New York
Central and ltsTraffic
Manager.
JURY DECIDES IN HOUR
Railroad Lawyer Says Public Opin
ion Did It Company and Fom
eroy May Each Be Fined
$120,000 for Offense.
NEW YORK. Oct 17. A verdict of
guilty of granting rebates on sugar ship
ments was returned by a Jury in the
United States Court here today against
the New York Central Railroad Com
pany and Frederick L. Pomeroy. the
company's general traffic manager. Sen
tence was deferred until Friday to permit
the attorneys for the defense to file mo
tions with the court.
In discussing the jury's verdict. Austin
O. Fox. counsel for the defendants,
placed the responsibility for the convic
tion of his clients upon public opinion.
"You can't defend rebate cases in the
present state of public opinion." said he.
According to the provisions of the El
kins act. under which the convictions
were secured, the maximum penalty is a
fine of J2O.O00. As both the Central and
the personal defendant. Frederick L.
Pomeroy, are convirted by the decision
of the jury on all of the counts charged
in the Indictment, the total fine for each
can be $120,000.
Letters from Lowell M. Palmer, mana
ger of the traffic business of the sugar
refining company, to Mr. Pomeroy. ac
knowledging the receipt of drafts
amounting to thousands of dollars, were
admitted. It Is charged that these
drafts represented the payment of a re
hate of 5 cents per hundredweight on
shipments of sugar to W. H. Edgar &
Son.
When the prosecution announced that
it would rest. Mr. Lindsay said the de
fense would offer no evidence. ' He then
made a motion to dismiss on the grounds
that the corporation could not be made
a co-defendant. The motion was de
nied. The jury was out an hour.
CONDEMN BOARD OF TRADE
Members Admit Rules Are Restraint
of Trade.
CHICAGO. Oct 17. TV. H Bartlett. a
prominent member of the Board of Trade,
was the first witness called before the
Interstate Commerce Commission today
when the hearing regarding the grain
trade was resumed. Mr. Bartlett declared
that a rule recently passed by the Board
of Tr.ide, fixing prices to be bid on grain
in the country !s. in his opinion, in re
striction of competition and of trade.
"Is the rule pood for any one?" asked
Commissioner Park.
"Oh. yes." replied the witness, "it is
ftood for the commission man "
"Ib it a good business proposition for
a burglar to get away with his booty?"
t-aid the commissioner, with a laugh.
Mr. Bartlett declared that the rule ia in
jurious to men in the country who buy
grain, because the rule fixes a price which
the dealers on the Board of Trade may
not overbid.
James Bradley, another member of the
Board of Trade, declared that he believed
the rule was in restraint of trade.
H. D. Wetmore. another operator on
the board, was in faor of the rule.
Mr. "Wetmore declared that he does not
care to attempt to buy grain from
farmers or elevator men who are desig
nated by the dealers' associations of the
various states as "irregular" that there
is a blacklist for men who do this.
W. S. Warren, former president of the
Board of Trade, declared that freight
rate discrimination has reduced the num
ber of receivers and shippers of grain in
Chicago by at least IS per cent in the
last 20 years.
Before the commission adjourned, H.
H. Card, a commission merchant who
yesterday testified that the methods of
the State Grain Associations' had ruined
his business, asked the permission of the
board to make .1 statement. He said his
statement t had been misconstrued and
that he did not intend to convey the
meaning that his husiness had been en
tirely destroyed. lie meant to say that
it had been b.idly demaged. He de
clared he was still doing business with
farmers.

Petersburg Telegraph Agency has re

the anti-British movement in India is re
ceiving much encouragement from Japan,
where every effort is being made to fos
ter a feeling of kinship between the two
dark races and to preach the lessons of
the Russo-Japanese War.
The Hindoo students now in Tokio, the

they appeal to India to heed the call of
"Asia for the Asiatics." and to rise and
cast off the British yoke.

FISH IS VICTORIOUS.
Maiden Political Speech by
the Mineworkers' President.
MEETING AT -SCRANTON
(Continued From Page 1.)
nor vote for it the other proxies confided to
me.
As the teller's report shows. I hold proxies
entitling me to vote upward of two-thirde. of
the entire capital stock of the company, and
as in this matter I am acting solely tn the
Interests of the shares I represent or own, I
now make the following nominations.
Mr. Fish then placed in nomination
the gentlemen already named, -who
were later elected. At this point Mr.
Cromwell addressed Mr. Fish, saying:
"I will have something to say in
this matter that may strike home."
"You can say anything you want to,"
snapped Mr. Fish.
Cromwell Alleges Broken Faith.
Mr. Cromwell thereupon read the
following letter, which he had private
ly presented to Mr. Fish earlier in the
day:
Chicago. October IT. lfOft.
Stuvresant Fish: Sir Prior to the ISth day
of July last It had been taid you were so
liciting proxies for use at the annual meeting
of the Illinois Central Railroad Company, to
be held October 17. 1906. for the election of
three directors to nil the places of three out
going directors, and also & successor to Mr.
Grinnell. Tour action was taken without con
ference with or the approval of your fellow
directors, and some of them, including
Messrs. Harrlman and Peabody, dissented from
your course. Mr. Peabody offered at the meet
ing of the board, held on July IS. a resolu
tion for the appointment of a committee to
Invite and receive proxies.
Mr. Cromwell then called attention
to the agreement of July 27. pursuant
to which Mr. Peabody had withdrawn
his resolution of July 18. Mr. Crom
well then continued, reading from the
letter:
Mr. Harrlman caused the Harrlman-Kuhn-Ioeb
proxiee to be delivered to you and they
are now held by you. Messrs. Harrlman and
Pea-body have also refrained from inviting
and receiving proxies in their own or any
other names, acting In full reliance upon the
said agreement and they have in all respects
fulfilled the same and kept their pledge of
honor. Messrs. Vanderbilt. Harrlman. Pea
body. Luttigen. Goeiet. Hanrahan and Auchln
cloes, being a malority of the several directors
acting, united in the selection of Henry De
Forest, long a stockholder of the company to
a substantial amount, and their written decla
ration of such selection has been delivered to
you.
Messrs. Harrlman and Peabody have thus
fully performed the agreement and you have
received the benefits therefrom. In their be
half, therefore. I request that you fulfill your
agreed part by voting your own stock and all
rroxies received by you from any source for
the re-election of the three outgoing directors,
and for the election of Henry W. De Forest.
I likewise, for said gentlemen, protest
against and dissent from the voting or use of
any proxies received or controlled by you for
any person or persons other tbaji the above
named as being a violation of the agreement
referred to a pledge of honor.
WILLIAM KELSON' CROMWELL.
For B. H. Harrlman and Charles A. Peabody.
Exchange of Repartee.
The issue thus being squarely drawn
whether Mr. Fish was still bound by the
agreement, or whether it had been pre
viously nullified by the action of Mr. Har
rlman and Mr. Peabody Mr. Fish looked
squarely at Mr. Cromwell and again eaid
with emphasis:
"I will never cast a single vote for Mr.
De Forest."
"I did not know." rejoined Mr. Crom
well, "but you had changed your mind, as
you did on the outgoing directors. Tou
said, when I talked with you this morn
ing, that you did not know whether you
would vote for them or not."
"I am going io correct you. Mr. Crom
well." answered Mr. Fish, rising. "I never
said any such thing. What I did say was
that I refused to discuss the matter with
you in any way."
The business of the meeting having been
transacted, it was declared adjourned. Mr.
Fish left for New York this everting.
Cromwell's Side of Case.
Before leaving for New Tork tonight.
Mr. Cromwell issued a statement giving
in detail the history of the agreement of
July 1. last between Mr. Fish and Messrs.
Harriman and Peabody providing for the
re-election of the outgoing directors and
the appointment of a successor to the
late Mr. Grinnell. who should not repre
sent any single interest. Mr. Cromwell
charged that, although Mr. Harriman ful
filled his part of the obligation by turning
over ail tne proxies he had obtained. Mr.
Fish had acted in bad faith by practically
repudiating the agreement in the refusal
to vote his proxies for Mr. DeFprest and
voting them for a nominee of his own se
lection, although "at the last moment he
fulfilled his agreement in part by the elec
tion of Messrs. Vanderbilt, Hanrahan and
Beach."
