Kansas City, Mo., July 2. The final steps In the United Slates district court here in the rebate cases were taken today when appeal bonds were peiv fected upon behalf of the seven con victed Individuals and concerns, and when bills of exception were flled for the Chicago, - Burlington & Qulncy Jtailroad '. Company and George L. ' . Thomas, the Now York broker, and his chief clerk, L. B. Taggart.' Bills of exception had previously been " presented' in tho cases of-the Armour, Swift, Cudahy- and Nelson Morris packing companies. The . next step will be the filing of the bills of oxcep tions with tho court of appeals, which . will be done at St. Louis on August 21. ; ' In tho case of the Burlington rail road the exceptions taken apply par ticularly to tho allegation of the de fendant that the interstate commerce act docs not apply to export rates, which question is involved, and . that . this district court lacks jurisdiction. Particular exception is taken to the following charge to the jury, made by Judge Smith McPhcrson, 'who presided at the trials: "It Is alleged that this carriage was by way of a concession to Armour & Company to the extent of twelve cents pcu hundred pounds for that part of tho distance between East St. Louis or .tle. .Mississippi river-, and Jtrw-1 York. city, where it couKi be loaded upon the steamship. Tho allegation is that this was an unlawful concession, thereby subjecting the defendant to the pen alties of the act of congress passed February 19, 1903, commonly called the ..' 12 kins Act." This part of tho charge refered to a shipment of packing house products accepted by the railroad at a 23 cent rate, when the tariff on file with the interstate commerce commmission was 35 cents. ..'-..' These exceptions in the cases of Thomas and Taggart are based prin cipally upon tho assertion, that it was : not shown that .he defendants had besn a party to the alleged conspiracy en tered into with George A. Barton, the Kansas City shoe merchant, to violate the Hiking act by securing rebates on shipments from New York, and that no overt act was committed. Tho indictment charged Thomas and Taggart with conspiracy, alleging seven overt acts. CANAL BONDS . (By tho Associated Press.) Washington, July 2.

This was true of the railroad rate leg islation; the democrats would have passed a better bill In seven days that the one the republicans took seven months to pass. Mr. Pou had sup ported President Roosevolt gladly when ho was right, when he was democratic. and h regretted when Mr. Roosevelt deserted Bailey and Tillman and went. over to Aldrich and the railroad sen ators: But the president has at least raised tho issue before the American people. - Tho bill Just passed is a step ping stone only to something better. Mr. Pou discussed fully and ably tb's point. President Rooosevoltwas forced to use the big stick, the democratic minority, in order to secure rate leg islation and add another star to the American flag. - Today a nreat crisis faces this nation. Through new methods and ageneles immense and menacing fortunes have been accumulated by the few. They, fix prices and wages. American goods are sold cheaper abroad than at home. The people will never stop trusts from violating the law by simply imposing a fine; the men behind these corporations must be criminally prosecuted, This is a trust-ridden, trust-cursed country.
