THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 26, 1908. 3 GET OFF WITH FINE Rebate Brokers Plead Guilty and Are Sentenced. ESCAPE GOING TO PRISON Judge McPliersou Says Thomas and Taggart Certainly Got Rebates and Would Llkfc to Punish the Guilty Shippers.. KANSAS CITY. Mo.. Jan. 25.-Georpe L Thomas, a freight broker of New York, and U B. Taggart. his clerk, pleaded guilty in . the United States Court today to a charge of conspiring to pay rebates to shippers. Judge Smith McPherson then fined Thomas $7000 and Taggart $4000, omitting Jail sentences previously assessed. Both defendants were in court, ana alter, sentence was passed checks covering the fines were tendered and accofited by the Judge. This was one of the most important rebate cases tried in this cojntry, and the Jail sentence which was omitted to day was the first sentence of imprison ment ever passed for a similar offense. George L. Thomas maintained a bro kerage office in New York City and represented practically all the Impor tant shippers in the Missouri and Mis sissippi River Valleys under a con tract to route their freight from the East and to collect overcharges in freight bills. Thomas and Taggart were indicted In December, 1905, charged with conspiring with Barton Bros., wholesale shoe merchants of Kansas City, to pay rebates on the lat ter firm's shipments. In the trial of the ease it was brought out that Thomas had also agreed to secure rebates for other merchants. They were found guilty on June 22, 1906. Thomas, as the principal, was fined $6000, and sentenced to serve three months in jail. Other Cases Are Appealed. An appeal was taken and the verdict was reversed on the ground that the lower court had failed to instruct the jury on the presumption of the inno cence of the defendants, a technical point. At the time Thomas and Tag gart were found guilty, the following other verdicts were returned in the Federal Court on charges of making concessions and accepting and conspir ing to accept rebates: Swift & Co., $13,000: Cudahy Packing Company, $15,000; Armour Packing Company. $15,000; Nelson Morris & Co., $15,000: Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Hallway Company. $S.r,0OJ. The Hues assessed against the pack ing companies were sustained Apfil 29 last shy the Circuit Court of Appeals at St. Paul. The Burlington case, which also was appealed. Is still pending. When the case of Thomas and Taggart was called before Judge McPherson this morning. Judge O. M. Spencer, of St. Joseph, Mo., general counsel of the Burlington Railroad, entered a plea of guilty on behalf of the defendants and appealed for leniency. livirtence of Guilt Clear. Judge McPherson, before passing sentence upon Thomas and Taggart, re viewed the case. He said that although the verdict had been reversed by the Court of Appeals, it was simply on a technical point, and that the Govern ment was successful on every question in the case of the slightest import ance. Judge McPherson concludes: "In view of the emtire situation and of all the foregoing facts, and in the full belief that the vlodous practices of these defendants and the payments of rebates have been stopped, and In the belief that the practice of rebating gen erally over the country has been brought to an end by the rigorous ac tion of the Government through the of fice of the United States Attorney of this district, as well as other districts, there Is no occasion for the order of Imprisonment." The fine Imposed upon Thomas today was $1000 heavier than that imposed two years ago, while the fine assessed against Taggart was the same amount previously. ludge McPherson took occasion to iy that he believed the firms that ac cepted the rebates were as guilty as the defendants and the railroads, and that he had never been able to under stand why they had not been indicted, lie would have liked, he said, to have had the members of these firms before him today .with power to pass sentence upon them. "The railroads." declared Judge Mc Pherson, "are hounded to death with rebate-seekers. They are not entirely to blame for ail the rebating that has been done." GOULD AXD HARRIMAX AGREE War Between Southern and Western Pacific Ended. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 25. The Ex aminer says today that E. Hi Harrlman and George J. Gould have ended their war over the rival Interests of the South ern Pacific and Western Pacific Rail roads. It Is said that under the peace agreement the two roads will cease fighting each other and their pending lawsuits will be settled. This arrange ment, it is -said, was made this week In New York at a meeting between Messrs. Gould and Harrlman. NEW YORK. Jan. 25. The reported peace agreement was neither confirmed nor denied at the office of George J. liould and E. H. Harrlman in this city today. At Mr. Harriman's office, it was stated that engineers of the South ern Pacific and Western Pacific have been working in harmony for some time. A representative of Mr. Gould declared there had been no war be tween the two Interests and that there was nothing to be said about the re ported agreement. Stillninnii Quits Harrlman Boards. NEW YORK. Jan. 25. James Stlllman, president of the National City Bank, has resigned from the directorate and also from the executive committees of the Union and Southern Pacific, according to an announcement made today. Frank A. Vanderlip. vice-president of the National City Bank, has been elected to the va cancies left by Mr. Stillman's resigna tions. Mr. Stlllman plans to spend much of his time in travel, and his retirement from the boards of managers of the two railroad companies was due to that fact. While the election of Mr. Vanderltp to the two boards was made In the usual form, Mr. Vanderllp today Issued a state ment to the effect that he was merely temporarily taking Mr. Stillman's place during hi absence in Europe. "It was considered necessary to have complete executive committees." said Mr. Vanderllp. "and it was thought desirable that I temporarily till the positions." Alleged Ftorger Is Recaptured. Oustav Snider, a waiter. 44 years old, who caused a great deal of excitement among the police of the first relief on Friday by escaping from the police sta tion, was c--i,iit last night in the Primo saloon by Detective Sergeant Baty and taken back to jail. Snider has been wanted on a charge of forgery for more than a year past. On Friday some one pointed fcira out to Policeman Nelson at Fourth and Stark streets as being wanted lor an old charge. The policeman took the man to the police station and seated him there while he made his report. While the officials were looking up the old papers in the case to see if the man was still wanted. Snider quietly sneaked out of the door. DEMOCRATS ARE ACTIVE Plenty of Gubernatorial Aspirants in Washington. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Jan. 25. (Spe cial.) Notwithstanding the normal plurality of the Republican party , in this state of 35,000. there Is almost as much talk of Democratic candidates for Governor as there Is concerning Republican candidates. The list of probabilities now includes Judge M. M. Godman, of Dayton; William Black man, of Seattle; George B. Wright, of Tacoma, and P. J. Byrne, of Spokane. Judge Godman was a member of the constitutional convention, served as Superior Judge and In several Legis latures. He was the Democratic leader of the House in the last legislature and the fact that he was a member of that body may preclude him, under a constitutional provision, from becom ing a candidate for the Governorship. Judge Godman, although now practic ing law in Seattle, Is considered ail Eastern Washington man. William Biackman Is the son-in-law of the late Governor John R. Rogers, and was State Labor Commis sioner during the Rogers and McBride administrations. George B. Wright is. completing his second term as Mayor of Tacoma and his record there has given him a prom inent place in the ranks of the Demo crats. P.- J. Byrne has been Mayor of Spo kane and has a wide acquaintance in Eastern Washington. A few weeks ago ex-United States Senator George Turner, of Spokane, was mentioned as a possible candidate and it Is admitted he could get the nomination if he wanted it. Turner, according to west side Democrats, de clines to run. He pleads ill health and says' he does not want the office any way. Senator Turner is now expected to go on the primary ticket for the purpose of getting an expression of the voters on the Senatorshlp and will probably e the only Democratic can didate for that office.
