Sugar Trust Demurs In Rebates Indictment Case
In New York Oct 24 the sugar refining company asked in the U.S. Circuit Court for demurrers to two counts accusing the American Sugar Refining Company and its New York holding company of taking rebates from the Western Transit Company in spring 1898. The demurrers challenge that offenses, if any, occurred before the Elkins law's February 1908 passage, though funds moved after that date. The government argues arrangements began before and completed after the law took effect, aggravating the offense as if committed after.
