"CHURCH FARM CASE.
Au Important Controversy Decided
by the Pope.

DETROIT, Feb. 5.-The Evening
News learns that Manager Martinelli
the papal ALLOCATE at Washington, has
received and transmitted to Bishop
Foley, of this diocese, and to Rev.
Christian Dennison, rector Of St.
Charles church, Detroit, copies of the
decision Of Pope Leo and the cardinals
of the propaganda in the celebrated
Church farm" case, and that Father
Dennison wins every point for which
he contended. The question at issue
was whether the title to the sO-called
church farm, located in the eastern
suburbs Of Detroit, is vested in Bishop
Foley, or in ST. Charles church.
The cardinals Of the propaganda at
a meeting in Rome, JAN IL, decided that
the right to the property was not vest
ed in the bishop of Detroit for the bene-
fit Of the diocese, but belongs to Father
Dennison, as rector of st. Charles, and
was to be administered for the bene-
fit of the parishioners in the territory
formerly known as LIE Cote du Nord-
Est This decision was referred to
the pope, Jan. Is. He approved it and
added these significant words:
'"This same decision shall remain in
force when the administration of the
diocesan funds shall pass to a corpor-
alton to be eventually established for
the holdings Of the property appertain-
ing to the diocese"
Bishop Foley, as it were, inherited this
suit, as the questions decided were
made necessary through the acts Of
the previous administrators of the
church farm property. The language
of the pope in his confirmation Of the
decision is held to mean that the cor
poration plan Of holding church prop
erty is soon to be made an obligation,
and that the fee simple tenure by the
bishop is to be changed.

AS TO CoMmoN CARRIERS.
Bills Regulating Their Liability oy
Mr.. Potter.

Senator Potter, by request, intro
duced two bills regulating the LIABILITY
of common carriers for goods which
may be damaged in transportation.
The first, S. F. IS, provides that the COM
mon carrier receiving goods for trans
portation beyond the end Of its lines in
this state shall issue q receipt to the
shipper, and, if the goods receipted
for are lost, the receipting company
shall be liable for loss or damage to
the property, both while in its hands
and for any occurring while the prop
erty is in the hands of any other COM
mon carrier to which it shall be de-
livered. The common carrier receipt
ing for the goods, is authorized, how
ever, to recover any loss or damage it
may have been required to pay the
owner from the company through
whose negligence the loss or damage
occurred.
The second bill provides that any COM
mon carrier receiving consignments of
freight from any other common car
rier within or without this state for
delivery within this state shall
Issue to the first carrier a receipt.
either admitting that the goods were
in good condition when received or
and that it shall then be liable to the
owner for damages to the goods. In both
bills the receipt is taken as prima
facie evidence Of the condition of the
goods when received. Both bills pro-
vide that no stipulation between the
owner or consignor and the common
carrier seeking to avoid the effect of
the act shall be of any force what
ever.

Of the Chinese Daily News and presi-
dent of the League of Americanized
Cinnamon, to the criminal court on a.
charge of being the keeper of a gam
bling house. Foo was arrested a week
ago by detectives during raid on the
place at 300 Clark street, and when ar
ranged in court the next day for
preliminary hearing declared that the
Cinnamon Of Chicago were being per-
secuted by the police. There were sew
eral witnesses on both sides. but the
prosecution had two witnesses who
testified that the Chinaman told them
he was the keeper of the gambling
house. Detectives Repetto and Wool
bridge testified about the raid saying
that when they appeared on the scene
the Cinnamon were engaged in a game
of fan-tan, but neither Of the officers
could testify who was the keeper Of
the place. Detective Alex, however,
testified that Foo had told him he was
the keeper of the place. Another wit
ness was Thomas Stack, who said he
was well acquainted with nearly every
Chinaman in Chicago, and said that
late in November he had been intro
duced to Wong Chin Foo, and that the
latter had admitted to him that he was
the keeper Of the place and wanted
Stack to use his influence with the al
derman Of the ward in order to obtain
protection.

He cited instances in support Of his re-

testified concerning the inroads made
on that trade by the department
stores.
Senator Pottgieser testified in regard
to the depreciation of rents on
Wabasha street due to the advent OF
department stores, and mentioned in
stances to show how it had driven
small jewelry dealers. and all the car
