NO ATTEMPT TO CONCEAL
Favom firan ted Sugar Tru st Are
Show n O pen 1 y on Book s. 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.

Interstate Commerce Commission Is
kiics Special Report.
WASHINGTON, April 7. A special re
port just Issued by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, gives a practical il
lustration of the manner in which railway
corporations, once independent, have de
veloped into fully controlled systems. The
report Is the result of an investigation
made in connection with the establishment
of a uniform system of reports for rail
ways which the commission Is empowered
to prescribe. One of its principal duties
will be to compile Information to aid in
determining the proper form of a stand
ard balance sheet.
One of the principal uses of the report
will be to furnish information, heretofore
unobtainable, to the public. Congress,
court-and Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. It makes public for the first time
th amount of securities in the hands of
the corporations. The statistical tabula
tion shows that out of over $1S.OOO,000,000
of outstanding securities $5,550,000,000 Is
held by railway corporations, leaving in
the hands of the public about $7,800.XX.ono
of funded debt and M,70O,O00.OtX of stocks.
It includes a table of miscellaneous hold
ing's of railway companies in other 'se
curities than those of railways.
DIFFERENT RATE TO EACH ONE
Santa Fe Official Makes Water Com
petition a Scapegoat.
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.

arousod In naval circles by the report
that the British Admiralty is consid

announced that France was supporting
the proposals for Macedonian reforms ad

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.

women approach with
indescribable fear, fof
nothing; compares with
the pain and horror of
child-birth. The thought
of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother
of all pleasant anticipations of the coming erent, and casts over her
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
have fund that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
nd child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the
time of their most critical trial. Not onl? does Mother's Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its- use
gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents "morning
6ickness, and other dis
comforts of this period.
