CLAIM BONUS IS AREBATE
ftanta Fe Railroad Pays Ingsr Com
pany to Bnild Factory
on Its Line.
CHICAGO, June 13. The government Is
trying to securo Indictments against the
Atchison, Topeks & Santa Fe railroad and
some of the company's officials on a charge
of having paid rebates to the United States
Sugar and Land company of Garden City,
Kan. The federal grand Jury heard sev
eral witnesses here today. It Is claimed
by agents of the government that the
Santa Fe road paid the sugar company a
bonus of between $35,000 and $50,000 to locate
a beet sugar factory at Garden City In
1905. This bonus, It Is charged, was based
on the amount of tonnage the company
should be able to produce for the Santa Fe
and was paid out as the tonnage developed,
payment being made on a definite agreed
basis.
In regard to the case, President Ripley
of the Santa Fe said:
"It Is true that we paid the sugar com
pany a bonus of $35,000 to locate at Garden
City, and we are ready to defend that
action. It Is ridiculous to say that we
granted a rebate to a company located on
our railroad and having no other means of
shipping out Its product."

"I am here In Kansas City and will be
back in Omaha and settle all the bills I
owe."
This telephone message was received
Thursday morning from Harvey DcWitt
by some of the interested parties In
Omaha and incidentally It lifted a load
from certain minds.
DeWltt, for six or seven years the trusted
manager of the Bachelors' apartment
house at Twentieth and Furnam streets,
disappeared Tuesday ami numerous
boarders at the apartment house are out
sums ranging from $10 to $:I0 which DeWltt
had borrowed from them, and Mrs. M.
Coutant, proprietress, has discovered an
apparent shortage In his accounts. Just
how much DeWltt Is owing cannot be de
termined until a careful examination Is
made of the books. The police have been
notified and are now looking for him.
It Is known so far that DeWltt borrowed
at least $200 from various persons shortly
before he left and owes Morltz Meyer about
$300 for cigars. How much more than that
he secured will probably never be de
termined. As manager of the Bachelors,
he collected approximately $2,0n0 a month.
Since his disappearance several of the
