CHICAOO. III., July I -The Chicago
Alton railroad and John N. 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

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.

Dr. Allan Mcl.anc, the alienist, who has

two hours with Tha today. Upon leav

ever, regarding the result of the examina

statement given out today by Chauffeur
Burns said he wished to deny absolutely
that Mrs. Thaw since her marriage had
been a guest of White erid had used his

a million of it being true." said Judge
Olcott. ,
Assistant District Attorney Garvan said
that although he had examined Burns In

I never Introduced m daughter to Stan

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.

LITERATURE FOR IMMIGRANTS
Prof. Candeld Wonld Have Public
Libraries for Assistance, of
Foreign Cltliena.
NARRAGANSETT PIER. R. 1., July .
A recommendation that every public li
brary In this country should be equipped
with books Intended to help Immigrants
to, become citizens was made to the Ameri
can Library association todsy by James
H. Canfleld of tha Columbia university law
library. Ha said:
Immigration to thla country haa become
SO enormous and is affecting so directly all
the conditions of urban life that w must
assimilate these people by the moat rapid
methoda. It Is a mistake to conxlder th-ir
presence a menace. There ought to be In
every public library in every city of any
else at laaat the clasalca in several
languages to win the confidence of these
people snd to draw them to these libraries.
Once there they should find elementary
text books In chics and other literature
that will be helpful to theni In their new
relations, translated from Kngllsh into their
own language. 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. No such
texts exist, even in English. It is this
very point upon which discussion ought to
turn what this association may be able to
accompllah In the way of preparing or
securing the preparation of such texta.

were suimling.
We further find that the said platform
waa car, li-KSly and negligently mi.
atructeil and waa not liulil strongly
enough to support the weight of Iho peo
ple who could and did gather upon it.
We further find Hint the management
did not have a aufrhiem force of em

guard the nuitilM-r oi people w iio wet-.-present
at the Kursaal at tha time of
i he accident.
We further find that the management
did not have in attendance any person
or persons of sulllclenl skill and knowl
edge to give proper aid to drowning per
sons. We further find that the Omaha & Coun
cil Bluffs Street Hallway company and
the Lake Manawa Amusement company
were negligent in the premises and that
the deceased met their deaths by reason
of such negligence.
The Jury empaneled by Coroner Arm
strong of Sarpy county, Nebraska, failed
to arrive at a verdict. Two of the Jury
declined to Join In a verrtli-t condemning
either the street railway company or thai
amusement company operating the resort,
while the other members were as decided
In returning a verdlet holding both of theni
responsible. The coroner announced that
he would aummon another Jury and resume
the inq'iost early nest week.
The above la the full text of the verdict
rendered by the coroner's Jury at the in
quest hold Friday In Council Bluffs by
Dr. V. L. Treynor, coroner of Pottawattamie-county,
lows, over Mary West of that
city and the othr-r five victims of the dis

the Fourth of July.
The Jurora were Ovlde Vien, C. C. Clif

Attorney CM. Harl of the legal firm
of -Harl tc T nley represented the stret
railway company and the Manawa Amuse.
wont company, while the state of lows.
waa represented, by Attorney Dillon Roa;,
assistant county attorney of Pottawatta
mie county. A. L. Werrlck of Omaha
took shorthand notes of the testimony at
the Instance of Mayor Dahlman of
Omaha. Two local atenographera did tlm
same for the street railway company and
the county authorltlea.
The testimony of Chrla Jensen, a promi
nent Council Bluffs contractor, was that
he construction and design of that pari
of the Kursaal which broke was faulty.
1 he Inquest was held at Cutler's under
taking establishment.
Ten Witnesses Examined.
Ten witnesses were examined, the only
expert testimony being that of Mr. Jen
sen, who- testified as to that part of the
Kureaa! which collapsed. He declared the
platform faulty In construction and desig.-t
and said the Joists which supported the
platform were not placed on top of tha
girders, but simply placed end up and
nailed. In hla opinion It waa a mlrar
that the platform had not given way be
fore, as It waa not in any way constructed
to bear the weight that it evidently was
Intended for.
R C. Brown, deputy game and flsh
warden, Tom Kendall. Reed Hanchet snd
I. Von Gorkls testified ln a general wsy
regarding the collapse, scrambling of tha
victims and the rescue work.
Other witnesses were Albert Heaston, D.
B. Dentler, E. P. Gooden. Samuel Dohaon
and D. P. Cowlea. Dentler and Heaston
are employes of the Manawa Amusement
company at the Kurxaul. The testimony
of the former was not of Importance, but
Heaston testified that he hsd been em
ployed at ths Kursaal ever since it was
constructed and had never known of any
repalra or any. inspection of the structure
being made.
No Arrests Tat Mada.
Owing to the Jurisdiction of the Iowa au
thorities over that portion of iJike Manawa
In which ths Kursaal Is Iocs ted being In
dispute, both Coroner Treynor and As
sistant Cotnty Attorney Rons declined to
order warrants Issued for the srrest of
any of tha management of the ltUte resort

by the coroner's Jury.
The verdict was returned about I o'clock
yesterdsy afternocn, the Jury having gona
