SUITS AGAINST BREWERIES

Five of Them Filed by the Indiana Attorney General—Feature* of the Complaint.

Indianapolis, May 21. Five separate suits have been filed in the Marion county superior court by James Bingham, attorney general, against the Indianapolis, the Terre Haute, the Capital City, the Home and the American Brewing companies. The attorney general alleges that these companies are wantonly violating the laws of the state and persistently abusing theli corporate powers by leasing saloon buildings and thereby engaging in the real estate business. He asks for a judgment dissolving the defendant corporations, forfeiting their corporate rights, and for a temporary Injunction against each, and the appointment of a temjiorary receiver. The companies against which the complaints are directed are those now engaged in federal court litigation against the attorney general.
