Chicago, Dec. 14—The federal grand jury has returned indictments against the Chicago and Alton Railroad com- pany, John M. Faithorn, former vice president of the company, and J. A. Wann, former general freight agent. The railroad company and the two ex-officers are included in one indict- ment, in which there are fen counts against the company and against each of the two men. The general chargc is that the railroad company, with the sanction of the two officers, paid il- legal rebates to the packinghouse firm of Schwarzschild & Sulzherger for the piirpose of procuring shipments from the concern, and also, with the same object, gave free transportation to the employes of the concern The indictment which was returned is based on testimony given to the grand jury by B. 8. Cusey, traffic manager for Schwarzschild & Sulz- berger, who has appeared before the jury on two separate occasions. Cusey was one of four employes of the pack- inghouse firm who were indicted some time ago for soliciting rebates. All of them pleaded guilty and each was fined $5,000 by Judge Humphiey. Three specific violations of the Jaw against the granting of rebates arc mentioned in the indictment. The railroad company is charged with hav- ing refunded $1 per car on forty-four of dressed beef shipped from sas City to various Eastern points in Decembe 1903. A similar rebate Is alleged to have been paid on twen ty-three cars of dressed beel shipped from Kansas City in January, 1904, The railroad company also charged with having refunded $3,500 in passen. ger fares paid by the packing com. | pany between Jan. 1, 1902, and Sep I, 1901, for transportation of its offi- | cers and agents.

Washington, Dec. 14.—Secretary of State Root attended the meeting of the senate commillee on foreign relations during (he day. He discussed the bill introduced by Senator Lodge providing for the reorganization of the consular service. It is understood that the Isle of Pines treaty and the treaty relating to Santo Domingo were considered briefly. The secretary of state asked that the consular service be classified and the president authorized to assign members of the classes proposed to such posts as the interests of the serv- ice require instead of having appoint- ments made for specified posts. The creation of an adequate inspectiou service and the abolishment of the fee system was recommended by Secve- tary Root in accordance with the rec- ommendations made by President Roosevelt in his message to congress. This would necessitale a material in- crease in salaries at consulates where the fee system has been lollowed. An increase in working forces was asked for, the secretary saying that at a number of foreign posts there are not sufficient employes for the perform- ance of duties imposed by the immi- gration iaws. The need of suitable quarters for embassies and legations was emphasized by the scereta who declared that the poor tions provided detract from the r¢ spect to which the diplomatic repre- sentati of this government are en- titled. Secretary Root also asked the committee to make provision for the creation of the post of minister to the pew kingdom of Norw ONLY IN FEW Banks Not Contributors to Campaign Funds. ‘Washington, Dec. 14—The scnate received [rom Secretary Shaw the of the comptrollei of the cur- to Senator [illman’s resoiution alling for information as to the rev- slations ol bank inspectors regarding contributions made by fonal banks lor ca N purpos The comp- troller there are about 100,000 such reports on file and that while he cannot without i all of them state their characier e Is coufident (hat excepl in oné or two i INSTANCES. riational they show no coutributions for polit ical purposes since 1892, The excep tional reporis -showing contributions cover transactions of $200 or small bank. $500 s and do not 5o into details, ASKS EARLY CONSIDERATION.
