AGAINST THE ROBY PEOPLE
Not Much Left When the Supreme Cour
Gets THROUGH.

indianapolis, Ind. June 4.-The su-
preme court. of Indiana this evening
handed down what is regarded by many
as one of the most important rulings
ever submitted to it. 1t holds that
when two years ago the state in at
tempting to suppress the ROby prize
fight. applied for a receivership for the
property and when Governor Matthews
sent troops to place the receiver in pos
session, all the proceedings were reg
ular and in accordance with advanced
Jurisprudence. In the decision Chief
Justice Howard says:
''It is the duty of all courts to adapt
their practice to the existing state Of
society and TO apply its jurisdiction to
all new cases which. from the progress
of society, must continually arise, and
not from the too strict adherence to
former rules established under very
different circumstances, decline to ad-
minister justice.
Courts of chancery may exercise jur-
isdiction to restrain corporation from
doing acts when il is abusing the power
given for public purposes, when il IS
committing a breach OF trust and when
ii is acting contrary to public policy.
when proceedings are against the
property of a corporation as well as
the corporation itself. and the property
itself being criminal and can only be
used for criminal purposes. there can
be no virtue in the quo warranto pro-
ceedings unless il dissolves the COR
poration and works a discontinuance
OF the property for the evil purposes to
which ii has been prostituted.
The Columbia Athletic club OF Roby
which was holding the prize fights was
in this way suppressed and should the
proceedings now pending in the su-
preme court against the Roby Racing
association be decided against the state
Attorney General Ketcham Will a once
apply for a receiver for the property
under the new decision. and If il shall
be necessary 10 place him in posses
sion, troops Will be used as before.

Separate Receivership Matter.

Topeka, Kan, June 4.-Receiver AL
dace F. Walker of the Santa Fee ar
rived in Topeka today with his fam
lily. When asked about re-organiZa-
ton and its effectiveness he said:
THE original mortgage contained
clause which provided that a majority
of the bondholders should at all times
have control of the organization; SO,
when the committee proceeded TO
adopt a plan, it was governed accord
ingly. The committee gave notice that
approving bondholders would have I'M
til June 10 to deposit their securities in
acceptance of the reorganization plan.
A majority of the securities were de-
posted a week ago and at that time
the reorganization plan became effect
i've Although a majority of the bond
holders have already approved of the
plan for reorganization, securities are
being deposited right along and indi-
cations are that by June 10 almost all
of the securities will be in the hands Of
the reorganization committee"
"Will the reorganization be effected
under the laws of the state OF Kansas.
or under the laws of Illinois," was
asked
Under the laws of Kansas, most
certainly. This was made possible by
law passed by the state legislature
last spring, authorizing the company to
issue preferred stock. The reorganiza-
ton committee will now proceed to or
ganize new company under the laws
of Kansas and when foreclosure pro-
ceedings are brought to the proper
Juncture the new company will pur-
chase the property
When will the property be taken
from the receivership and turned over
to the new company"
THAT / cannot tell. 1t is all guess
work. L cannot say whether il will be
in three months, six months or year
The adoption of the reorganizati ton
plan is, however, very necessary step
and will hasten the work of placing the
property on its feet
SHORT LINE RECEIvERSHIP.
Omaha, Neb. June 4.-Unsatisfac-
tory as ii may be and against the hopes
OF those in interest there is a growing
feeling about Union Pacific headquar-
terS that the American Loan & Trust
Co.. Will, through separate receiver
succeed to the control OF the Oregon
Short Line, Utah Northern and South
ern Extension railroads, now a part of
the Union Pacific. 1t has been hoped
that Judge Gilbert would so modify
Judge Sanborn's order in the premises
that the representa- tiveS of the CONSOLE
dated mortgage would hesitate about
taking upon themselves so heavy bur
den, but the modification was in the ma
ture of strengthening the hands of the
trustee of the consolidated mortgage
and the hopes of those interested have
gone down correspondingly as the trus-
tees interests have risen.
In view of this somewhat complicated
condition of affairs all eyes are direct
ed toward Salt Lake, where the battle
is to be fought before Judge Merritt

IT'S all A MISTAKE.
Archbishop kenr1ck Has Not Been Deposed
at All, but Just Simply DepOsed.

Rome, June 4.-The matter OF the So
called deposition of Archbishop Ken
rick OF ST. Louis appears to have been
misunderstood through the misrepre-
sentation Of the cablegram announcing
the change. Archbishop Kenrick has
not been deposed The only change
was the increase of powers of Caodjuter
Bishop Kain, whereby he will be enabl-
ed TO take full control of the affairs Of
the archdiocese and relieve kenrick Of
the entire burden.
St. Louis, June 4-Mr. Julius L. Foy.
a prominent lay Catholic, one of the
number who brought the local legal pro-
ceedings, when shown the Associated
Press cablegram from Rome, said:
This is more than a surprise / cam
not understand from the wording of the
cable just what the propaganda has
done. 1 don't know the nature of the
cablegram received by Archbishop Kahn
in which his appointment was said 10
have been announced. 1t IS hard 10
reconcile this cable and the news print
ed about Sundays developments. How
ever. nothing can be definitely stated
until the official documents arrive
Previous TO the receipt of the cable
MesSrs. Frost and Foy were asked what
effect the removal of Archbishop Ken
rick would have on the suit. They said
the proceedings would have 10 CON-
l!Huc lOI the TtdSOif INA tic NiiN4 SiA
property in the ST Louis diocese was
held personally by Richard Kenrick in
fee, and not as a trust by reason OF the
episcopal title.
THE suit was fled" said Mr.. Frost,
"to have its ownership sustained as a
trust and TO have Archbishop Kahn APP
pointed his successor in the trustee
ship. OF course, if the old archbishop
We're removed and Archbishop Kahn
made archbishop of ST. Louis he would
be the legal successor to the trust and
the courts would so hold. While he is
coadjutor his appointment would be
optional with the court"
The matter of an accounting asked
for in the local suit is to have a state
ment made into court of the amount Of
property involved in the trusteeship.
This matter will be attended 10 by the
plaintiffs. as the suit is an amicable
one. The matter will be put into the
hands of trust company within a
few days and the deeds will be run
down. 1t will take some time before the
exact amount of property involved is
known
