Falthorn and Fred A. M'inn, formerly ofTlclala of th road. were today convicted In the t'nlrrd States district court of illegally granting rebates to the Schwarxechlld Sulxberger Packing company. No sentence waa im posed today by Judge Landls. pending the arguments for a new trial for the defend ant, which will be heard tomorrow morn Ing. It was claimed by the government that the officials of the ratlrojd company had allowed tha employe of the packing company to travel free of expense by re funding to thera all money expended for transportation. H waa declared by the court that thla did not comprtae a rebate, and he instructed tha Jury that a verdict f not guilty should be returned aa to the counia of tha Indictment which charged the giving of rebate In connection with thla passenger transportation. In tha other eight counts of the Indict ment on. all of which the defendanta were found guilty, two offenaea agalnat the Elk Ina law were proved. It waa ahown by the government that tha railroad company had Charged 14 per car for handling tha prod ucts of Schwarsaehlld Sulxberger at Kanaaf City and had then repaid tha pack ing company $1 on each car. The govern ment claimed, and the court held that the failure of the railroad to publlah In lta tariff aheet tha fact that the tl waa re paid made It In fact a eecret rebate. It waa claimed by tha attorney for the de fendanta that the refund of the tl per car waa neceaaary becauae the packing com pany owned the railroad track near lta plant and compelled tha railroad company to pay that amount for trackage when It hauled tha cara away. Under the law the maximum aentence of tha court may be a fine of 1120.000 for each of the three defendanta. No Imprisonment provision appear In tha law. There are two specific allegations of rebating alleged In the eight counta of the Indictment up held by the court. i RAILROAD ME UAI 0B FOIST lMMHMa.

OBJECT BEING TO SECURE LARGER LOAN Statement Caaaea a sensation la the Lower Hoose Another Mora a Toward a Responsible Mlalatry. ST. PETERSBURG. July .-Whll the action of the lower house of Parliament today In appropriating IT.SOO.onO to be dis pensed by the administration for famine relirf was epochal, aa the first recognition of t"e cabinet by Parliament and the first step in Joint work. Its Importance was far overshadowed by the revelation of alleged admissions made by Minister of Finance Kokovsoff In the budget commission about tlie padding of estimates for the liquid ation of sir expenses. In order to be abl" to extract a larger loan from the foreign markets. These developments made an Im mense sensation and were eagerly dis cussed In the corridors of the chamber, where It was declared that If the state ment of the commission members were true It plsced Russian financial methoda on a par w ith those of mushroom Bouth Amer irsn republics and would undermine the con fidence of foreign financiers In the old guard now msnsging Russian finances and Immensely complicate future credit oper ations. AH this naturally Is flsh for the net of the constitutional democrats, who see In the revelations the brightest prospect for for cing the transfer of administrative power to a responsible cabinet. All of today's moves of the constitutional democrats point to a realisation of their expectation that they may soon be en trusted with the full responsibility of gov ernment, unhampered a bureaucratic min istry. The speeches of floor leader Nabouk- off and othera on Thursday during the de bate on the BldelnJkoff Incident show that the decision to break with the extremists and socialists, aa foreshadowed In the re cent Interview of the Associated Press with Ivan Pctmnkevltch. haa been definitely taken and that the party leaders are now looking forward to constructive work In place of merely destructive criticism , of everything governmental. Warnlag from the Rech. The Rech today, discussing the efforts made In the British House of Commons to Induce the British government not to send a fleet to Cronstadt. says: Whether the fleet comes or does not eome, the sympathy of the Engiisn wnn the struggle of the Russian democracy for constitutional inatttutions Is already proved. The same Is true of Prance. Aa regards Germany, It Is tha sole supporter of the old regime In Russia. Emperor William prefers to maintain the sources of weak ness of the Russian state In order to profit thereby, but Emperor Nicholas should re member th danger of outside Interference. It was the duke of Brunswick' threat to destroy Part If King Louis was harmed which forfeited the king's head." During the debate in the lower house of Parliament today on ' th Blalystok report an orthodox priest, Pather Aranasleff, a radical member from the Don province. fiercely denounced the policy of the gov ernment, whloh, he declared, Instead of being diretced to pacifying the country, seemed to be deliberately provoking anti Jewish riots snd every manner of class and race strife by th spread of proclamation agalnat the Jews and revolutionists.

AERONAUT CARRIED CUT TO SEA Prareidewe Balloonist Picked t p hy - FiiMss BoapW it. ?!. !fv O? tb'Cat. BOSTON. July 1 After one of the most remarkable experience in the history of aerial navigation. James K. - Allen, the aeronaut who made a balloon ascension at Providence on the Fourth of July, wss brought to this port tonight on the Ashing schooner Francis V. Sylvia. Allen was picked tip at sea twelve miles off Chatham at 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning, eighteen and a half hour after his departure from Providence. Allen hnd a narrow escape from death by drowning, the winds that prevailed Wedneaday having blown hla balloon long distance from shore. Until news of hla arrival here became known it had been thought that he had met hla death, aa It was known that at the last time he was aighted on Wednesday evening he was traveling out to sea. That Allen is alive tonight Is due wholly to a fortunate shift of the wind. When he made his ascension st Providence on Wednesday the wind wss blowing s brisk breeze from the southwest. The aeronaut was carried In his balloon in a northeasterly direction and passed over the town of Attleboro. He had his balloon under per feet control at that time and while in the vicinity of Attleboro he descended twice. From Attleboro the airship traveled In the direction of Brockton, and the las seen of th aeronaut by observer on shore waa when he passed over Scltuate early In the evening. At that time the balloon was headed straight ont to ac'a. When Thursday dawned without any news being received from Allen and It became known that the last time he was seen was when he was on the ocean shore headed out to sea It was then believed that he .would never return. Alter Allen paaaed over Maaaachuaetta bay hla plight was more perilous. Wedneaday night he waa over Provlncetown. At thla point of the voyage the wind shifted from southwest to north east, and from Provlncetown th balloon ailed down the outer Cape Cod cos at. At 7 to the aeronaut waa rescued twelve mile ff Chatham by the fishermen of th Sylvia. The balloon wa aaved In good condition and wa brought to Boston on th schoner. During his flight Allen cov ered a total distance of about Jnn mile, nearly half of which wa over the water. The point where he ill picked up Is about seventy-seven miles from Providence.

In other words, securing them as patrons of the public library hy their own claaaics. we ahould minister to their needs precisely as we minister In the needs of our own people.
