It Is a band of white wool with two pen dants of tho same material, and bears four black crosses. It was brought here from Rome and its sacred Import wns described as follows by Archbishop Glennon of St Louis, who delivered the sermon: Import of Insignia. "Before Its being brought to St Peter' tomb, there was the simple history of tho making of this pallium at the hands of the daughters of St Agnes, from the wool of the lamb which were dedicated to St Agnes, the virgin and murtyr, the snow drop of the springtime In the Christian Rome In the day of old. So. woven and surmounted with the cross of her martyr dom, the pallium was carried to the tomb of the apostle, guarded there on his feast day, blessed by the sovereign pontiff and forwarded from that shrine here." With the pallium were three Jewels, an amethyst, a topax and a ruby, each set in a pin for fastening th Insignia upon the archbishop's garments. Contrary to cus tom, these Jewels were not sent from Rome, but wore, with the pope' permis sion, gifts of an old New Orleans family, friends of Archbishop Blenk of many years standing.

REMEDY FOR CAR SHORTAGE Hoada That Fall to Return Borrowed Car Promptly Are to Re Penalised. CHICAGO. April 24. Decisive action was taken here today by the American Railway association to remedy the car shortage which for several months hits been causing so much worry among shippers throughout the country. The failure of some roads to furnish sufficient quota of equipment for their own traffic and the failure to provide and enforce proper rules for the return of foreign cars to their own roads are re- sponsible for the shortage and to remedy the v'l the association today adopted a rul"- to be confirmed later by letter ballot of all the roads, providing that any rail road which, hereafter shall not promptly return to Its owner after unloading all cra consigned to It will be penalised 15 for each car so misused, to be paid to the owner of the car. This penalty Is in ad dition to the per diem charge of 60 cents which, after July 1, each road must pay for each car not Its own, which may be on Its lines. In order to make the new rule more ef fective, the principle of publicity is to be Invoked through the Instrumentality of the so-called Car Clearing House recently es tablished In Chicago. Through the new rule the chairman of I the rleArlno hnii.n mminlttM I nnv it thor,Ir(, to Pend to PRcn of the members a Btatempnt comprising the Information .i,,,... -iiAetert . tn the e.. irminn percentage of equipment on line, of total owned and unfilled car orders. This the as sociation believes will enable each railroad In the country to know exactly which lines are delinquent In the matter of furnishing adequate cars or falling to return car to their home lines. The report of the committee on stand ard rail sections was adopted unanimously and the steel ran manufacturers will be told that the present rails are not up to specifications and that a better and safer rail must be provided.

MEAT ARGUMENT AT LONDON Government, Promise to Take Steps to Keep Good from Amer ica Par. LONDON, April 24. There wa an at tempt in the House of Commons this after noon to revive the agitation against tho American (tacking houses, a subject which practically passed Into oblivion months ago, and th Board of Trade rather dis countenanced any recrudescence of the mat ter. It arose from a question of Sir Wil liam Bull, conservative, who suggested the necessity for "protecting the meat trade of this country against the attaoke of foreign trusts," and the taking of etep to "prevent meat unfit for food from being marketed here by representative of the American meat packere." Mr. Llloyd George, president of the Board of Trade, reminded Sir William that a bill had already been Introduced by the presi dent of the local government board, Mr. Burns, dealing with the importation and " , . . preparation of food.

KEAk CLOSE OF LIBEL SUIT Defense Eeiti and Connell Starta Attack en lews' Testimony. VIC WALKER AND SHLRCLIFF ON GRIDDLE Bartender of Former Telia About the Dennison Check and Brother f Latter Impeachea Star Deposition. The beginning of the end of the Dennlson-News libel suit came yesterday after noon shortly before 3 o'clock when the defense rested with the understanding one more witness, not In the city yesterday, might be called today. The plaintiff at once began an attack In rebuttal on the evidence offered by the News tending to reflect on the character and reputation of Tern Dennison. The single witness yet to be examined by the defense Is T. J. Ma honey of the Civic Federation. Early In the forenoon W. J. Broatch was recalled to the witness stand by the de fense to supplement his testimony of the day before regarding the 'cancelled checks given him by Vic Walker In 1903 and de stroyed by him. He said the checks were made payable to Tom Dennison and were drawn on the Merchants' National bunk. Tho remainder of the testimony for the de fense was purely technical. As soon as the defense had rested At torney Connell began an attack on the witnesses for the defense by means of im peaching testimony. The evidence of Via Walker regarding the giving of checks to Dennison for alleged police protection was first attacked. Will A. Minor, formerly Walker's bartender, was the first witness. He said he remembered of Dennlson's cash ing a check for 170 for Walker in October, 1901, on the night he and Walker attended a prise fight together. The contention of the plaintiff Is that this was one of the checks given by Walker to Broatch and destroyed. Minor said Walker frequently got Dennison to cash his chocks when he ran short of ready money. Homer Morris, a brother of Sherman W. Morris, alias Frank Shercliff, the Pollock diamond robber, went on the stand to Im peach his brother's deposition. He said his brother told him the case against Den nison In Iowa was a put up Job made up by Elmer Thomas and the Civic Federation. He said his brother also told him the claim that Dennison dug up the Pollock dia monds at Missouri Valley was Incorrect and the whole thing was a put up Job to send Dennison to the penitentiary. Chief Donahue went on the stand and denied the truth of a conversation George Burrler testified he had had with the chief. Objection was made to the Introduction of depositions by C. E. Llewellyn and C. E. Doyle, contradicting some of the things In Shercllff's deposition, and the Jury wa ex cused until morning, while the attorneys argued the law. Judge Estelle reserved his ruling on the points until morning. The cross-examination by W. J. Connell of Vic Walker occupied the principal part of the forenoon session Wednesday. Walker was subjected to a close examina tion by Mr. Connell In an effort to bring out alleged discrepancies between his tes timony Tuesday and testimony . he had previously given.-' .. R.
