BANKRUPT.
The Whisky Trust Can't Pay
Rebates.
Federal Judge Grosscup APP
points Two Receivers.
is SHORT A MILLION.
ReceivershipAsked by Network
Stockholders.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-Judge Grosscup,
on application of New York stock
holders of the whisky trust, repre-
senting about So, 600, 600 of stock, has
appointed Joseph B. Greenhut of
Peoria and E. +. Lawrence of Chi
cago, receivers of the trust The ap-
plication for receivership was based,
as set forth in the bill, upon the
business of the trust at the
present time and upon the
inability of the organization to float
an issue of bonds from the proceeds
of which it was expected to gain
financial relief. Attorney Stevens,
repre- senting the trust, consented to
the plan proposed by the New York
stockholders, and the appointment
was made as Greenhut representing
the trust in the receivership and Mr..
Lawrence the stockholders. Similar
proceedings will be had in each state
where the trust owns property.
The reason assigned for wanting re-
ceivers was that the company was
being pressed to pay its debts and
had no funds to meet the demands. 1t
was represented, among other things,
that on February 1 almost ST., 600, 900
in rebates would fall due, and unless
they were promptly paid the
various distilleries would be attached
and their earning capacity greatly
reduced. The rebates mentioned are
due to wholesale dealers in whisky,
who enter into contracts that they
will buy no liquor except that made
by the trust. The VS. sky is charged
to them at a certain rate, and if. at
the end of six months, it is found the
wholesalers have handled nothing
but trust whisky they are allowed a
ebate of from three to seven cents a
gallon. These rebates are due Feb
ruary 1, and according to the bill
presented to Judge GrOsscup, the
company has no money to pay them.
The amount of rebates due was rep
resented as something like 81, 900, 600.
Other forms of indebtedness were
also mentioned in the bill.

WHO'S GOT THE WILL.
The Mystery Connected With the Disap-
pearance of the Fair VIII Unsolved.

The Mystery Connected With the Disap-
pearance of the Fair VIII UnsOlved.
SAN FRANcIsCo, Jan. 30. The theft
OF the fomous Fair will, which was
stolen from the county clerks office
Monday, still remains mystery and the
perpetrators of the crime have not been
discovered. he last man who handled
it so far as can be learned, was w. II.
Davis, who was employed by Private
Detective Stillwell to examine the docu-
ment with view, as he claims, to max
ing a comparison between the original
and the printed version of it.
County Clerk Curry openly claims that
Davis is the thief aud is backed in his
statement by the opinion of Chief of
Detectives Lees.
The fact that the will has not been
probated and is not admitted to be the
last will of the dead millionaire by the
various legates, will make the case more
complicated 1t is also claimed that
there are some things about the original
will that need close investigation and for
this copies will not answer.

JUDGE LONGS PENSION.
Commissioner Lochren Takes Issue With
Judge Bradley on the Case.

Judge Bradley on the Case.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-In comment
ing on Judge Bradley's decision, Com
missioner Lochren said: E'The idea that
a pensioner can come in and ask for an
increase of pension, without any record,
and be given it merely upon, his own
statement, is an absurdity SO patent that
it does not require even lawyer to OBJ
serve it.
The only way that Judge Long could
be restored to his former riting is
through a new certificate to be signed
by the secretary of the interior and the
commissioner of pensions. How Judge
Bradley expects me to restore the pen
sion, if the secretary does in the exer-
else of his discretion agree to have new
pension executed, is a problem that l
shall leave to the judge to determine.
Commissioner Dudley issued certifi-
cate granting Judge Long $50 month,
and Commissioner Tanner undid that
action years afterward, readjusting the
case on the same evidence recorded.
There had been no doubt as to the
authority of the commissioner to correct
an error of Illegally discovered
Judge Lochren will confer with AS
sistant Attorney General Whitney in a
few days to determine the next step to be
taken by the government in the case.

JUDGE LONGS PENSION.
Mandamus Asked for Against COmmis-
sioner Lochren Granted.

Nandamus Asked for Against COmmis-
sioner Lochrsn Granted.
WASHINGTON, Jan. So.-Judge Brad
ley of the District supreme court has
granted the mandamus asked for by
Judge Charles D.. Long of Michigan
to compel Comm issioner Lochren of
the pension bureau to restore the for
mer rating of $72 per month to the
plaintiff. The mandamus against
Secretary Smith asked for by Judge
Long was denied as unnecessary.
Three questions were involved in
the case whether Commission
Tanner was justified in issuing the
certificate giving Judge Long S72
month rating, whether the com
missioner of pensions is empowered
to review and reverse the action of
his predecessor upon the same state
of facts for alleged error in Judgment
to change the status of the rate on
the pension rolls and to revoke his
pension certificates, and whether the
court has the power by mandamus to
direct the commissioner to vacate his
order of revocation.
The disabilities of Judge Long,
said the court in revie wing the case,
are so permanent and total as to re-
quire the regular personal aid and at
of cases for which congress fixed a rat
ing of S72 a month. No duty was i'm
posed and no authority conferred
upon the commissioner, said the court,
to order special in this case, and the
only cases wherein the commissioner
could increase or reduce the pension,
according to right and justice, are
those in which biennial examinations
had been required
Discussing the functions of the COM
missioner of pensions, Judge Bradley
laid down the proposition that the
commissioner is neither the govern
ment nor congress and cannot give or
withhold pensions at his pleasure.
The action of Commissioner Lochren
in revoking Judge Longs certificate,
it was held, was Illegal, and his clear
duty, therefore, the court said, is to
revoke that order, restore the former
rating from the present rate of $50
per month and enforce continuance
of such larger payments. Summing
up the case, Judge Bradley held that
the court had the power by manda-
mus to compel the performance of
that duty. and accordingly granted
the N andamus asked.
