President Roosevelt has received Attorney General Moody’s letter regarding the guilty plea of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad to the charge of issuing rebates. While he is glad about the fine that was imposed, Roosevelt believes that court should be able to imprison people in addition to fining them, and asks what the possibility of getting such a change through Congress would be.
