Howard Corner Sixteenth Street
George Thomas, a New York freight broker,
on - the charge of, conspiracy -uln rebating
railroad rates. The Omaha Jobbers are said
to have received rebates from the Burling
ton road through Thomas.
F. P. Kirkendall, the Omaha wholesale
shoe manufacturer, was on the witness
stsnd Wednesday, the substance of his
testimony being thst he had paid Thomaa
$500 a year to look after his freight ship
ments, and that several times he had re
ceived money from Thomas. He returned
to Omaha Thursday morning.
"I waa lucky in getting away after one
day," said Mr. Kirkendall. They knew I
would not be of much value, since all the
contracts I had with Thomas have been de
stroyed, and no record was kept of any
transactlona with him. For that reason
they allowed me to go on the stand early
and get away.
"I employed Thomaa for three or four
yeara to handle my freight business because
he was a freight expert and could save
money for me by his knowledge of railroad
affairs. Several time he gave me money,
but I do not know where It came from.
"It Is my opinion that no case can be
made out against the Jobbers. Thomas
handled the business of all of them to the
best advantage, and if the money he gave
back to them was In the nature of rebates
from the railroads, they do not know it.
Whether It was remains for the court to-
flnd out from Thomas and the railroads,
and whatever trrelr finding may be, I do
not anticipate that the jobbers can be held
responsible. ' '
"If 1 want a man In any line of business
I naturally seek a man who know the
business, and I have a light to hire the one
who I think can make me the most money.
Her la a man with an Intimate knowledge
of freight traffic who comes and promises
for a certain consideration to ao place my
freight that he will save me money on ship
ments. Haven't I a right to engage him
just as I would a specialist In any other

ble debate the. senate today passed the
bill relieving denatured alcohol from the
Internal revenue tax and then took up the
grlcultural appropriation, bill, which was
till under consideration when the senate
djourned. The discussion on the alcohol

legislation on the,, manufacture of wood
alcohol, which Senator Aldrich assertu
would bs greatly Injured. Senator Hale
criticised some of the provisions of the
agricultural- bill as manifesting too strong
a tendency, towards . paternalism.
Objections by Mr. Aldrleh.
When the free aloohnl bill wss taken up
today Senator Aldrich said the bill would
grestly Injure the buslnees of the wood alco
hol mannfaeturers and gave-this as one of
the reasons' why the dst-fnr the bill to- go
Into effect had been extended until January
next
Mr. MeComher mJVed'the restoration of
the date fixed by the house bill carrying
it Into effect three months sfter Its pss

clslly designed or' set' apart for densturtng

Senator Allison said the bill was crude
and that it should have been more cafe- .
fully considered. He sooke of the Imnort- !
ance of the measure, sajMng It might af
fect $100,000,000 of revenue, but expressed
the opinion that as the bill has been
amended by th seriate fraud under It could
he prevented.' He did not believe that dis
tillers generally wooifl tske advantage of
the opportunity to manufacture denatured
alcohol as provided for by the bill.
Senator Hale aareed with other senators
that there Is liable to 'be ' disappointment
over the effect of the. bill, but expressed
the hope that, 'It would prove beneficial to
the manufacturing Interests. He also de
clared that there hsd been no effort on
the part of outside Interests to Influence

Mr. McCumber then withdrew his amend
