Is Friendly Action With Com.
 pany ConCulrine
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Chicago. March lS.-Application for a receivership for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul railway com pany was filed in the United States district court today.
 The petition, offered as friendly action with the company concurring, was filed in District Judge James II. Wilkerson's court.
 The receivership marks weeks and months of uncertainty, marked by steady and heavy declines of the market quotations of the roads se- curities, as to the rehnancing of the $4S.000,000 of four per cent bonds due next June.
 Under. the receivership, a drastic reduction in the capital structure now exceeding $700,O00,OO0 is eS' pected.
 The road, with 16,000 miles of tracks, stretching from the Middle West to the North Pacific coast, one of the largest systems of the coun- try, has a funded debt of s434,242,- 0O0;. s116,274,9O0 in preferred and s117,411,30o in common stock.
 It's Pacific coast extension, carry ing electrically driven trains over the Rocky Mountains. has been one of the marvels. of modern day rail- road engineering, but the extension with terminals in Seattle and Port land, St. Paul and Chicago, has not returned the profits originally an ticipated.
 Harry E. Bryan president of the company; Mark W. Potter and Ed ward J. Brundage. the latter re- gently retired as attorney general of Illinois, were appointed receivers by Judge Wilkerson, in bonds of s5o,- 900 each.
 The petition was filed in the name of the Binkley Coal Company, but was in the interest of the road itself, with H. H. Field, general counsel for the railway company present and concurring in the atcion. There was no opposition.

On the other hand, Wall street brokers loans in the last few days have shown heavy falling off, the natural result of liquidation on the stock exchange.
 The steel trade looks for re- vival of buying in the next month owing to the slack business report ed early in February. While con- struction work involving use of cop per, lumber steel and cement may not be as heavy as last year 1t Is be- lloved the difference will be made up by increased consumption from prosperous agricultural districts. Tho approaching retirement of Samuel Req, president of the Penn sylvania railroad under the age linn 1t provision established by the conn pany for all employees and execu- lives. is expected in the financial | district to be followed by his ap- pointment as chairman of the board Of directors, of which he Is now a member. Many railroad men be- lieve this step will be in order to make the best use of the retiring executives abilities.
 The National Cloak X Suit Co.,, has declared a quarterly dividend of S1 on the common stock payable April l. to stock of record April 10. This places the stock on $4 annual basis, No payments have been made on the common stock since 1920. Prior to the suspension of payments in that year, the dividend rate on the junior shares had been $1.25 quarterly.
 Al the offices of the Pennsylvania railroad it was said there were no indications that MT. Req would be made chairman of the board Of di- rectors after his retirement as presi- dent next September. It was said he would remain member of the board and in this way his advice and experience would be available to the company.

PALACE-"Any Woman"

Alice Terry in ANY Woman"
furnishes mild and pleasant enter
tainment for a Summer night at the

the role Of a pretty girl. naughty and
perfectly gowned, despite the fact
that her father has suffered a tobog
gan slide toward financial ruin. There
Is poor young man with an inven-
ton, which, in this case. has to do
with soft drinks guaranteed to fill
one full Of pep. There are also two
young modern brokers, in whose per-
fectly equipped offices the girl seeks
employment as file clerk. The final
movie chestnut is added to the pile
when the story is brought to a close
by a treasure chest hunt at the coun-
try club, and, of course, in the end,
the pretty girl marries the poor
young inventor, who has managed to
achieve success with his invention.
The picture is directed by Henry
King.
Harry Langdon supplies a comedy
of the usual type, which afforded yes

and thrill, notwithstanding the fact
that a hackneyed wild auto ride forms
major feature in the story. The
