After being out twenty minutes the Jury in the case of the government against the Santa Fe company, on trial in the federal court at Los Ange les for rebating, brought in a verdict of guilty against the railroad on all sixty-six counts of the indictment. Judge Welbourn will announce his de cision later. An estimate of the max imum penalty which may be imposed is $1,250,000, and the minimum is $66, 000. The charge against the Santa Fe was that it had granted rebates from its regular tariff on some ship ments of lim to the Grand Canon Lime company of Arizona. The de fense was that the rebates were 'con cessions, made for alleged losses in the shipments during transit. The trial began September 3. In giving his decision on the law point which arose during the trial Judge "Welbourn said a point of the law is held to be one of the most important enunciated since the inter state commerce commission was created. He said: "I hold that the acceptance by the defendant of a less sum of money than that, named in its tariff for transpor tation of its property described in the indictment, if there had been such ac ceptance, was a departure, from the legal rate and that it is not justified in so doing. Npr is it any defense to a prosecution thereof that the acts of the carrier were done in compromise of claims for loss of property in trant sit" IF TBI toots MO TO YOU Come and Sec the Stock, It Will LooK Better !
