ATTORNEY BLAMES IT
ON PUBLIC OPINION
Declares Rebate Cases Cannot Success
fully Be Defended With People Feel
ing as They Do Maximum Penalty
in Case $120,000.
.' . New York, Oct. 17. A verdict of guil
ty of granting rebates on sugar sbip-
: ments: was - returned by a jury in the
I'nited States court here today against
the New York Central Railway Com
pany and Frederick I. Poineroy, the
company's general traffic manager. Sen
tence was deferred until Friday to per
mit the attorneys for the defense to file
motions with the court.
In discussing the jury's Verdict, Aus
ten 0. Fox, counsel for the defendants,
placed the responsibility for the convic
tion of his clients upon public opinion.
"You can't defend rebate eases in the
present state of public opinion," said
The charge against the New York
Central and Pomcroy was based upon
indictments found by the United States
grand jury after many months of inves
tigation. It was alleged that the de
fendants entered into on arrangement
with the American Sugar Refining Com
pany, whereby Edgar & Son, of Detroit,
were favored by a reduction of five cents
per hundred weight on sugar shipments
from New York to Detroit from the
regular traffic rates. .
, According to the provisions of the
.lkins act, under which the convictions
were secured, the maximum penalty is a
fine of $20,000. As both the Central and
the pergonal defendant. Frederick L.
1'o.jiicroy, are convicted by the decisions
of the jury on all of the six counts
charged in the indictment, the total fine
for each ran be $120,000.
;' In submitting the case to the jury,
, Judge Holt reviewed the interstate com
merce net and the amendatory law in
11)0,1,- known as the "Elkina act." This
statute provided for the punishment,
Judge , Holt said, of the corporation as
well as its agents and 'officers for a vio
lafion of acts regulating commerce..-"
Referring to the joint traffic arrange
ments between the New York Central
and the Michigan Central, he said that
the indictment charged that 'Mft Palmer,
as agent of the sugar companies, and
Edgar & Son, in Detroit, had applied for
a lower rate for sugar shipped between
the parties than that of the regular traf
fic rates.
The government alleges that the traf
fic managor arranged for a reduction of
five cents per hundredweight'' from the
established traffic of twenty-three cents.
, the. jury could find, he said, that either
or none of the defendants were guilty
us alleged, or that they had paid one or
nil of the sums specified as rebates.
lie said' it was necessary in criminal
convictions to show intent, but in some
instances the jury could find the intent
from the act itself. , ,
RAILROAD OFFICIALS MUST
SHOW DEPARTMENT RECORDS
St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 17. Subpoenas
have been served b'y the United States
marshal hci'e on the comptrollers, treas
urers and heads of the claim depart
ments of the Northern Pacific, Omaha,
Minneapolis and St. Louis, and the Wis
consin Central railroads directing them
to npear before a special grand jury in
the I'nited States district court at Min
neapolis on Tuesday next with the books
and records of their respective depart
ments. .
This action is said to have been taken
as a result of the investigation of an
ngreeinent of the department of justice
of the federal government of the giving
of rebates by the railroads of the north
west in connection with shipments of
freight,. The serving of the subpoenas
created something of a sensation in rail
road circles. :

New York. Oct. 17. The steamship
Carmelina, with Manuel Silviera, the
Cuban banker, whose recent disappear
ance from Havana was said to have
brought about the failure of Celmllos &

which reached here today .rom Curacoa

H. B. Chase, a representative of a

the public that one Miss Quimorton, of
New York, was about to join Professor
Garner in the jungles of Africa, for the
purpose of studying the monkey lan

among the wild beasts, it is but justice
to say that Professor Garner will cer
tainly not occupy his cage, as it was
Jost two years ago by the capsizing of
a boat. It is also but justice to state
that Professor Oarncr is in ignorance
of Miss Quimorton's proposed trip to

St. I.wis, Mo., Oct. 17. The Republic
today prints ithe following: ' Tbree ex

partment at Washington, working under
a deputy United States treasurer, count
ing more than $20,000,000 in the vaults
of the United States sub-treaury, have
discovered a shortage of $01,000.
United States Sub-Treasurer Thomas
J. Atkins admitted that the experts are
in St. Louis, but said that no definite
statement would be made by him until
the representatives from Washington
have finished their investigations.
"A man's reputation," said Mr. Akins,
"is worth more to him than the loss of
$01,200 is to the government. If an
error were made in checking money from
the vaults to one of the cages a recount
of all the money on hand would reveal
the error, and also the presence of the
full amount of the money which should
be in the vaults.
"The present investigation will deter
mine whether the accounts balance.
Until thennothing can be said, and it
would be unjust to connect the name of
any employe with the discrepancy at
this time."

RECORD OF HIS
Ask Greensboro Audience Over
and Over, "Will You Turn
Us Out?"
AUDIIiNCE OF ABOUT 200
HEARS CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Makes Speech Modeled After Those That
Have Made Him Famous as a Cam
paigner,, and Discusses Expenditure of
State's Money.
; Governor Robert B. Menu spoke to an
audience of about 200 ncoplc in the
county courthouse last nmlil, making a
speech modeled along '.the same lines as
those made in the campaigns from two
to teii years ago, which made, fur linn
a reputation as a campaigner of abil
ity. Nearly all of his hearers last night
were Democrats, and .naturally his ef
fort was warmly applauded.
The speech was scheduled to Ik-hiii at
7.30 o'clock, but fortunately the train
which brought the governor to the city
was late, and by ringing the bell every
tew minutes until the governor's arrival
at 8.20 o'clock an actual count showed
184 people in the court-room.
When Governor Glenn arrived' at '.the
depot, ho was met by a committee, and
at once driven to the courthouse. He
entered the court-room in company with
Mayor T. J. Murphy, who made the
speech of introduction. While Mr. .Mur
phy was speaking, the governor opened
his handbag and secured therefrom a
bundle of clippings, handbooks and other
"documentary evidence." Placing the
papers upon the desk, he began his
speech.
Governor Begins His Address.
Governor Glenn began his speech by
saying that lie tried to get excused
from coming" to Greensboro to srpeak, bift
the committee would not excuse him.
"No man enjoys coming to Greensboro
more than I,'' he added, "but I am not
feeling well. When I became governor I
promised to make agricultural speeches,
speeches to religious and patriotic gath
erings; but they have gotten nie to ad
dress religious gatherings many times,
and when a pastor gets sick the con
gregation semis fur me to fill his pulpit.
I had not intended taking a part in this
campaign, but. aspersions reflecting upon
my administration, upon my integrity
and even upon my honesty, have been
made." -
The speaker said he would first dis
cuss national issues, and devote the
latter part to slate issues. He then
plunged into a discussion of the tariff
question. Jle en Med it a system ot high
way robbery, and added that the people
Of North Carolina' should send ten 'con
gressmen to Washington to revise the
tariff, The governor told the cost of his
coat and exhibited Ins watch, and told
for how much h'-s he could have
bought them were it not for the high
tariir. .'.:.--.. . ..
"Gran and Glorious Record."
He then took mi state politics and
again told of the-"grand and glorious"
record of the 'Democracy, and the "nps
and downs" of -the '"white flag" of the
party since the war.
He then uiscusscd the trouble between
the races the same speech he has made
for the last ten years. After bemoan
mg the tact that 1 he nation was .in
the hands of the licpiiblicaus, he of
fered consolation In his audience by
saying that the slate .government - is
Democratic.
Mr. Glenn then gave some figures as to
the number of miles of railroad built
under the difTer.'iit administrations':
amount of money 'spent by each, and the
wonderful progress ot the state. He
claimed all of the credit of the state's
advancement. 'for -'the Democratic state
administration, anil gave none to the
Republican national administration.
Abuses Republican Leaders.
The latter part of the speech was
spent ' in abusing ,' ex-Senator . Butler.
Chairman Adams and other Republicans.
He explained the increase of expenses
in the various -'departments of the state
government, lie added that if the leg
islature of 100" heeds his voice provision
will be made for every unfortunate per
son deaf, dumb, blind and insane in
North Carolina.
In closing, he said he had nothing but
love for everybody, and though in times
of political activity harsh things were
s:id, he knew North Carolinians were
right at heart; and that North Carolina
would continue to go forward.
Can't Keep Away From "Nigger."
Throughout the entire course of the
speech reference was constantly made to
the 'nigger"-and the "white man's par
ty," and un effort 'made to win Dcino
orwtic votes 611 this issue. Among other
things, he said that the Republicans
charged thai- nil negroes holding gov
ernment positions in Washington would
be turned out of olliee if a Democratic
president was elected; and that. the
charge iis right no negro can hold
office under Democratic rule. Much of
the 'speech was devoted to discussion of
issues that were settled years ago.
The latter part of the speech was
made more like a eampmecting sermon
than a political discourse. One man
who heard the address remarked at the
close, "lie preached a little, prayed a
little and cussed a littla."
