TARIFF BOARD ITEM THROWN
 OUT.

Washington, May 23-After an eX- tended debate. the s25O.0O0 appropria- tion to defray the expenses of the tar if board. recommended by the presi- dent. was stricken from the sundry civil bill in the house today. This ac- ton followed a decision by Mir Mann of Illinois, who was in the chair. sus- taining a point of order of MT. Fitzger- aid of New York, who contended that there was no law authorizing such an appropriation.
 To meet the objection to the tariff board on the part of many democrats and some republicans, Mir. Tawney proposed another amendment which appropriated s250, 900 practically for the same purpose. with the added pro- vision that it was ito enable him to give to congress information of the state of the Union and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedi- ent''
 Under this wording of the measure it is understood the president could send to congress any information which may be called for under the pro- posed appropriation. By leaving out of the amendment all reference to the tariff board. which already exists, it was hoped that the provision would come within the rules of the house and would not be subject to a point of or der
 Mir. Fitzerald promptly called a point of order against the new amendment, and, pending his argument upon it, the house adjourned until tomorrow.

A PROTECTING RECE|VERSH|P Chicago Railways Unable
 To Meet a Judgment 4 LEGACY FROM YERKES.
Nor Could They Furnish a Bond Necessary to Alp peal Stock of the Or ganization Tumbled On the Market

Chicago. May 23.-The receivership into which the Chicago Railways was thrown today sent it's most active stock, series of participating certifi- cates, off an extreme nine points in the local exchange with only a slight recovery. This stock participates only after the payment of bond interest and dividends on certificates of series !. but the earnings of the company re- gently were believed to indicate an early dividend on series ?. Thousands Of shares were unloaded when news Of the receivership became known in La Sale street.
 The appointment of the receivers John H Roach, president of the com pany, and Henry A. Blair, a heavy stockholder was precipitated by the fact that the company had neither suf- ficient assets to pay a judgment of s1,344,6 GAS rendered against it by Judge Ball in the superior court last week, nor to provide a sufficient bond to secure a stay of execution by means of an appeal.
 There was only one way, receiver ship, and this action, described as a mere legal move for friendly conser- vation.' was taken suddenly and se- cretly. By this arrangement 1t will be possible to protect the company while Judge Balls decision is carried to the state supreme court.
 Judge Ball held that the Chicago Railways company, in taking over the old Union Traction company. promoted by the late Charles T. Yerkes, as- stunned responsibility for the bonds of the financially shattered Consolidated Traction.
 The judgment awarded by Judge Ball and entered today was in favor of the litigating bondholders of the latter company. Should this decision be up- held. it opens Nthe way for additional judgments of a similar nature, aggre- gating about S5,O00,0G0
