Chicago, Sept. 23.— Four officials of
the Schwarzchild & Sulzberger Packing
company, ot Chicago, were lined an ag
gregate of $25,000 by Judge Humphrey
in the United States district court here
today. The fines followed a plea of
guilty to indictments charging conspir
acy to accept railroad rebates. The
defendants were Samuel Weil, of New
York, vice president of the company;
B. S. Cusey, traffic manager; Vance D.
Skipworth and Chess E. Todd, assistant
traffic managers. Weil was fined $10,-
000, the other three $5,000 each.
With the entering of pleas the de
claration was made that unless at least
one of the cases is immediately settled
the life of Samuel Wail, vice president
of the company and one of the defend
ants, is in jeopardy. He is said to be
a nervous wreck, and fears were enter
tained for his life if he had been al
lowed to continue under the stigma of
an indictment.
While in Chicago the attorney gene
ral was apprised of the condition of
Vice President Weil.
These four defendants were charged
with unlawfully combining and agree
ing to solicit rebates for the Schwarz
child <& Sulzberger company from the
Michigan Central Railway company,
the Chicago, Rock Island <& Pacific, the
Grand Trunk Western railway, the
Lehigh Valley Railroad company, the
Boston & Maine Railroad company and
the Mobile & Ohio Railroad company.
Charges were made that the defendants
conspired with each other in presenting
supposed claims for damages, which
were in reality claims for rebates.

Rome, Sept. 2 6 — Another tornado
today caused enormous damage in Ca
labria. A gradual clearance of the
buildings ruined by the recent earth
quake shows that the number of per
sons who perished was greater than
given in the firB t estimate.
Large
numbers of bodies are being discovered
daily. The work of constructing wood
en cabins under government supervision
is progressing rapidly.
Two hundred
have already been completed and 4,000
more will be necessary to shetler the
homeless people.

Washington, Sept. 25.—The Reclam
ation service has made the following
announcement:
“ The engineers in charge of the
Boise-Payette project, Idaho, have
made such progress with preliminary
work that the board of consulting en
gineers will n eet at Boise October 18
to consider plans and decide on future
arrangmeents. The splendid work of
the Water Users’ association in harm
onizing the many conflicting claims of
private interest in lands, canals and
water rights is beginning to bear fruit,
and it is believed that practically noth
ing Btands in the way of early construc
tion.
“ About 100,000 acres are already ir
rigated in this section, but plans for
the full development of the natural re
sources of the valleys which will come
under this project are of such magni
tude as to be beyond the reach of com
munity effort.
“ The present estimated cost of the
entire system is nearly $ 11 , 000 , 000 ,
and completed works will supply water
to approximately 372,000 acres of land.
On account of the restricted condition
of available reclamation funds, how
ever, a portion of the project has been
^elected which, though only an integer
of the whole, will yet complete the pro
ject itself.
“ The Payette and Boise valleys con
stitute one of the most attractive sec
tions of the West. Progress in agri-
culutre in this vciinity in the past few
years, and the consequent growth of
adjacent towns, furnish an excellent
example of the result of irrigation and
give promise of substantial and won
derful development in the future.”
