SLIGHT CHANGES MADE IN PROGRAMME By Committee in Charge of the New Year's Day Eisteddfod Will Bo a Success. The committee in charge of the eis teddfod to be held on New Tear's day hv th First Welsh Congregational church Sunday school, are leaving no stone unturned to make the eisteddfod a complete success. The committee has decided to make two changes in the programme: Firstly. In the competition of choirs from the same congregation, the competitive piece being "Diadem," D. O.

Evans edition, English or Welsh words will be used in stead of J'. B. Lodwick's arrangement. Secondly. In regard to the soprano for amateurs who never won a prize, the competitive piece having been printed in the programme as "How Well Do I Remember," it has been found that the music can only be bought in solfa notation, therefore the committee has decided to use In this competition "Land of Wales," by H.

Jones, of Topeka, copies of which can be had on application of the secretary, Howell Davies, 1306 Ey non street. The secretary has made arrangements with L. B. Powell Co. of Scranton to have the music for sale.

All competitors who need copies5 of the recitation for children under twiilve years of age, "God's Jewel," by Mrs. G. W. Powell (Morfudd) and the recitation for young people under eighteen years of age "The Pilgrim," by the same authoress, can procure the same upon application to the secretary.

The New Tork Central Railroad company was again found guilty of rebating to the American Sugar Refining company in the United States circuit court, criminal branch, today. Judge Holt set next Tuesday as the day on which he will hear the argument of the attorneys for the railroad on the usual technical motion for arrest of judgment. This motion will, it is expected, be overruled and the fine be Imposed. As there is but one count in the Indictment on. which the road was tried this time, the highest penalty which can be imposed is $30,000.

Most of the interest in today's session of the trial centered in the struggle of Joseph H. Choate to have the indictment thrown out on the ground that as the $26,000 rebates were paid over after the passage of the Elklns law, the agreement to rebate and shipment of sugars to Cleveland thereon having been completed before the passage of the law, the whole transaction could not legally be treated as a violation of the Elkins law. All of the evidence against the road had been got in on the first day of the trial. It had been shown that Lowell M. Palmer, for the sugar trust, and F.

L. Pomeroy, as assistant traffic manager for the road, oh July 24, 1902, made a written agreement to rebate 6 cents off the schedule rate of 21 cents per hundred pounds on all the trust sugars going over the road from New Tork to Cleveland. On April 9 the next year after the shipments had been made and after the passage of the Elkins act in February, Pomeroy paid the $26,000 odd in rebates in a single draft sent to Palmer In a roundabout fashion. At the close of the session Judge Holt announced that at the request of the road's lawyers, Mr. Choate would today be allowed to argue the applicability of the Elkins law to this transaction.

The room was crowded when the famous advocate rose to speak. At his right were John E. Parsons and Alton E. who will try the first case tomorrow which the government has brought against the trust. This is upon the complimentary indictment 'to that on which the road yas today found guilty, alleging the receiving by the sugar company of the rebates which the railroad Mr.

Choate, it was understood, thus argued the point for both corporations. Austen T. Fox and Jacob T. Lindsay were present for the railroad and United States District Attorney Stimson, his assistants, Henry A. Wise and Felix Frankfurter, and Agent John W.

H. Crim on behalf of the government. Mr. Choate mado the general attack upon the indictment that the essential feature of the alleged crime, the agreement to robate and the shipment of property thereon, had taken place before the passage of the Elkln's law made them unlawful. After a rather lively debate between Judge Holt on one side and Messrs.

Chonte and Auston T. Fox on the other, in which Mr. Fox declared that Judpa Holt hid admitted the ambiguity of the Elkln's law as relating to the acts alleged in tho indictment, thus admitting that the railroad could not be held under it, the court said it would be unnecessary for the United States attorney to reply to Mr. Choate a3 the law seemed plain to him. "The law plainly states," said Judge Holt, "that any corporation which shall grant rebates shall be guilty of a violation of the act.

I overrule the objection. Proceed with the case." Judge 1 Holt, however, gave Mr. Choate permlsrion to speak again. The Jury was out about two hours when It came back for Instructions. It was considered significant of the influence of Mr.

Choato's speech, although Judge Holt said It had no foundation that the jury asKed Judge Holt for enlightenment on whether tho payment of rebates after the passasre of the law, when the agreement had been made and the goods shipped before tho passage of the law constituted a violation of the law. Judge Holt said that it did. Tho jury again retired and almost immediately brought In a verdict of guilty. Penalty will not be imposed until Tuesday. The Central has already been fined $108,000 and now its general traffic manager, $6,000 on a joint Indictment of six counts.

The first case against the American Sugar Refining company for receiving the rolintes begins tomorrow also before Judge Holt. UtHwrtllun, l.iWi. fir, llltMi ninruiKlM rmin). Tifiw llrall mldrrlj I'ftr rftkrjr. Tblr fiUl UKRIAM itUtiivr Hurttufwl Mill Bif fbrtwrI vUHflfr (Vault.
