GERMANS CONSIDER TREATY
Majority of Economic Committee Said
TO BE Hostile to United
states.

BERLIN, April 22-The economic COM
mittee, composed OF thirty sgriculturalists,
manufacturers and business men from all
parts OF the empire met at the ministry
Of the interior today to consider the pro
longation of the tariff arrangement with
the United States.
The majority Of the committee is COM
posed OF agrarians and large manufac-
turers, who take the ground that It is un-
just to extend 10 the United States the
most favored nation treatment upon the
basis offered and that II the arrangement
must be accomplished a delay as long as
possible is better than its immediate ac-
ceptance, in order TO create the impression
in the United States that the arrangement
was adopted with great reluctance and that
the trade regulations between the United
States and Germany rest on a precarious
basis. The eventual acceptance Of the ar
rangement is regarded as certain.
1t was reported tonight at a late hour
that the economic committee had acceDEed
the provisional agreement with the United
States after debate lasting seven hours.

KANSAS FIGHTS BREWERIEs
supreme Court wilI Appoint RE-
ceivers for All Their Prop
erty In the state.


TOPEKA, Kan, April 22.-The supreme
court late this afternoon allowed the suit
OF Attorney General jackson for receiver
ship in the custer cases against the brew
cry companies in Kansas. The court did
not name the receivers, but will do 80 in
day or two. Attorney General Jackson
stated that he did not know Just how
much property this receivership includes,
but mentioned eight or ten sets OF saloon
fixtures in Leavenworth and some in Atch-
ison. There Is a possibility OF the brew
ers being given their property II they
withdraw from Kansas and agree TO stay
out.
The action Of the breweries in making no
defense came as a great surprise to the
state officials, as II was understood that
the brewers were planning a hard fight
The attorney general has a vast amount
of evidence against the breweries, show
ing tax receipts for wagons horses and
harness, bar fixtures and real estate, gov
ernment licenses made out in the name OF
the brewery association or it's agents and
afiidavits OF officers In various towns. The
granting OF a receivershlp today closes the
first step in this new move to drive the
liquor interests from Kansas The at
torney general has obtained a restraining
order preventing the companies from NOV
ing their property from Kansas and from
using their property for unlawful purposes.
The suits were filed two weeks ago. The
action was based on the fact that the
breweries had never obtained a license to
do business in Kansas required under the
corporation laws and in addition that the
business they were transacting was un-
lawful.

FIVE JURORS IN RUFF BOX
Eight Men Excused on Peremptory
Challenge and One More is
Secured.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 22-The first
four OF the twelve jurors who will try
Abraham Ruef on the charge Of extorting
large sums Of money from the French res
taurants Of San Francisco under the al
legged threat as political boss, to deprive
them Of their liquor licenses, were secured
today and sworn in. The eight others com
posing the probationary panel were per-
emptorily challenged, three by the prose-
cution and FIVE by the defense. As only
two names remained on the special venire
list OF fifty tomorrow will likely see the
Issuing Of a second special venire, necessi-
tating an adjournment Of one or two days.
II is hoped to complete the jury by the
end Of the week and to begin the actual
trial Of Ruef by the taking Of testimony
not later than next Monday
A new line of questioning was developed
today by the defense in the cross-examina-
ton Of talesmen, both those who had been
passed into the box as qualified and others
who had not yet been subjected to the
qualification tests Ruef's counsel desired
to know whether the jurors who attended
the earthquake anniversary banquet at the
Fairmont hotel on the night Of April IS
had absorbed any bias against their client
from the speeches OF District Attorney
Langdon and Assistant District Attorney
Heney, In which Ruef and other alleged
grafters were vigorously denounced.
On the technical ground that Langdon
and Heney did not discuss this particular
case (of extortion), but merely denounced
Ruef and his associates generally as graft
ers, the challenges for cause laid by the de-
fense against the juror -banqueters were not
allowed by Judge Dunno and they retained
their seats
The number Of Jurors in the box was In
creased to five just before adjournment
by the tentative acceptance OF Juror Davis.
