company. Imperial Brewing company and
Helm Brewing company.
The Helm' concern ere different lncor
poratlons of the same firm.
The receiverships were appointed upon
petition of Attorney General Jackson, who

restraining the concerns named from doing
business In Kansas. The property Involved
Includes liquors, bar fixtures, wagons, ant
rnnls and warehouse and Is located prln
clpally In Topeka, Kansas City, Wichita,
Leavenworth. Atchison, Salina, Iola, Ga-
lena, Pittsburg and Columbus, Kan.

their property, situated near the state line
Into Missouri and Oklahoma. Attorney
Oeneral Jackson says what remains wll be
old and the proceeds used to defray the
coat of the present suits. The companies
that removed their property wll be cited
for contempt.
The court fixed the Joint bond of the
three receivers at $5,000 for each company,
or a total of 146.000. The understanding la
that the receiver are to act jointly and
not divide up the companies among them'
elvee.

take possession of all the brewers' prop
erty In sight. They doubtlea will seise
"Idle Hour park" at Pittsburg, owned by
the Helm company and a good deal of real

panic to prove their ownership. If they
desire to do so.... ...

the court' action he said: "These are
rood appointments and this whole thing la
great victory for prohibition,"
Receiver Will Flit Salt.
The throe receivers held a long con
Sulfation with Attorney General Jackson
today. The first move of the receiver will
be to apply to the United States courts for
a writ directing all corporations Involved
In the suits to appear In the court with
their book. An Inquisition will be held
and In this way the receiver will learn
what property Is owned In the tate by
the different brewery companies. Th
company being brought into court cannot
be prosecuted at that time, but It can be
prosecuted on thai evidence which la ob
tained under the Inquisition. The court
may order all necessary paper and book
produced to show Just what property
owned and controlled by the different com.
panle. Suit being brought In the federal
court, the defendant may be cited from
any point In the country.

Including Cardinal Gibbons, two arch
bishops and sixteen bishops. Archbishop

official recognition by the church of tho
archbishop's succession to tha function
and authority of the late Archbishop
Chapelle, whose arch-episcopal province
comprised Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama.
Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma, and who
died during the yellow fever epidemic here
two years ago.
The ceremony took place In the old St
Louis cathedral, where various important
events In Archbishop Blenk's life have
transpired since he lived In this city a
boy. The edifice was decked in the papal j
colors, yellow and white. Interspersed with
the American colors and the archbishop ,
purple. About 10 o'clock a solemn pro
cession of 150 of the clergy wended Its way
to the thronged cathedral, where, following
a celebration of high mass, the pallium
was placed upon the altar.
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. The Jewels are heirloom.
After the mas Archbishop Blenk re
newed hi oath of allegiance and fidelity to
the Holy See and then Cardinal Gibbon

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

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.
Mr. Lloyd George
added:
"I am not aware that there Is any cause
for further action."
Th president of the Board of Trade,
however, promised to watch the matter.

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. Beecher Howell, I. H. Merchant and
X- W. Carpenter went on the stand and
testified a to Dennlson's general reputa
tion prior to the publication of the article
In the New. They were also closely ex-
"mined by Mr. Connell a to the political
