Judge Holt of the United States circuit court fined the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad company 18000 for rebating freight to the American Sugar Refining company. The case arose from an indictment charging 26000 rebating to the same firm, with a prior 108000 fine on the first count. The judge held corporations accountable under the Elkins act and rejected the argument that a corporation cannot be fined.
