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.
