Milwaukee and Pacihc railroad. which is given permission to take over the l1,700 miles of the old St. Paul system. which went into re- ceivership in 1925 following the con- struction of the northwestern link to the Pacihc coast.
 Four members of the !. c. C., in- cluding the chairman. diasented from the majority and advocated rejection of the plan.
 The St. Paul receivership was or dered by tho federal district court in Chicago in 1925 when the road failed to meet its obligations. The court subsequently, approved the re. organization plan. and n result of the approval gained before the !. c. C. the receivership will be dissolved without further delay.
 The new company is empowered to issue adequate securities in ex- change for obligations of the old st , Paul company.

8upernumerary O6tcer James kel- ly testifsed that he has seen Mon- tanile driving Maietta's truck twice within the past month. He saw him cnce in the evening n the truck was soing south on Main street to turn into East Main street. between 7:sO and : o'clock and once on Commer- cial street in the forenoon. near Cen ter street. On both occasions. Mon- tanile was alone.
 Woods Compliments O'Afsrs
 Arguing for conviction. Prose- cutting Attorney Woods paid tribute to Sergeant O'Msra, who. he said, is one of the most reliable officers the police department has had in 70 years. The sergeant has watched Maietta's store very carefully. ob- serving conditions. and has been in large measure responsible for pre- vious convictions of Mrs. Maietta for violation of the liquor laws.
 Higgins and McDermott patrontzed the store for the purpose of buying liquor, not to purchase cigaretts. and there is great significance in the finding of a bottle in the cellar of the store after Mir. McDermott had told Sergeant O'Mara it was there. MT. Woods declared. The testimony of Officer Kelly. given voluntarily, proves that Montanile was more than a customer or hanger-on in the store.
 1 Mr. Woods asked that Montanile be found guilty as first offender and that Mrs Maietta be bound over to superior court. after which At- torney McDonough attacked the states case and accused the police of being prejudiced against the Maiet- tas. They will be under suspicion ot being violators of the liquor law five years hence. he said. because the police will choose to have suspicious of the activities. In this case. there is no evidence to supportthe states charges. and Montanile and Mrs Maietta are entitled 10 a discharge | No Crime to Carry Liquor
 There is nothing legally or moral ly wrong about carrying bottle o' liquor" Attorney McDonough said eff it is crime to carry a bottle there is plenty of crime being com mitted."
 Relative to Officer kclly's testi
 mony that Montanile was wearing
 red sweater when he saw him drlv
 ing the Maietta truck. Attorney Nc
 ponongh said Montanile does no own a red sweater. The police hav'
 "hounded' the Maiettas and it l
 time they stopped.
 Officer kelly's testimony that tn
 Maietta truck. driven by Montanlle was stopped for two minutes at h
 traffic signal was inaccurate becaus
 no traffic signal on Main street eve
 stops for two minutes. Attorney Nc xDonough said and Chief Hart 0 Traffic Sergeant King could b brought in to testify to this fact, Of !. ficer Kelly is not the type of ma who would lie but he should benef by this case and be more careful ( his testimony in the future.
 Prosecuting Attorney Woods re piled that Traffic Sergeant Kin ' operates the signal tower and leave l the lights burning red or green . long as conditions require. Yer Y often he has held up traffic longt y than two minutes.
