That the change will bc decided improvement
cannon DE doubted, though II may be questioned
whether fountain-even a real one with tall jet
OF water-has any place in such design Still
some concession to popular opinion may not be
out OF place The people OF Brooklyn have been
accustomed TO fountain here for a quarter OF
century. and its removal without some good and
sufficient reason that is perfectly apparent on the
surface would assuredly give occasion for com
plant and criticism. If the fountain had been taken
away TO provide suitable site for the arch the
reason would have been plain to all corners. To
do away with II for the sake of unifying the plaza
would scarcely appeal powerfully to the minds of
the multitude SO the decision to retain the fountain
while making 1t less conspicuous. and at the same
time giving 1t the character Of a true fountain.
Will doubtless be generally accepted as wise.
The work of improving the plaza Will probably
begin the spring season opens. and
people who visit Prospect Park next summer Will
find the changes here outlined completed.

WHISKY Trusts DIG BATTLE.
me Reorganization Lawyers Conf
dent OF Securing a sale.

Chicago, June 20.-The climax in the
whisky trust battle. which has been
Waged for several months. was practicable
reached this afternoon in Judge showal-
ter's court al the conclusion Of the a-e,r-
ments on the petition Of The committee
o. 1;ockholders for d sale O. seventeen dis

coupled with the offer OF S9.S0OlJ for
that part Of the property. White the
Judge did not say in so many words thai
ne would enter decree providing for the
safe OF the CistilleriCs he intimatcd a..
much, and did say after hearing all The
lawyers representing the many interests.
that he would consider the matter OF the
order promptly and render his decision.
which viii probably be handed down ca
saturday next.
The reorganization committee lawyers.
Levy Meyer and ex-Judge Mora. were it,
bilant and felt so confident that an order
would be made that they telesraphed their
New York clients TO that effect. They
will regard the granting OF the petition &c
the most substantial victory won so far.
and think there viii be smooth sailing
now. BY August ! they expect to place
the property bid for in the hands of tho
reorganization committee. The terms OF
the sale order will provide for advertisme
tLlrty uays, and II no bids in excess OF
S9,SOW0 is received at the public sale,
the receiver will transfer the estate to the
stockholders, who practically own it
now.
The court will require Of the purchasers
that they make all claims of creditors a
prior lien on the property. The Green
hut-MoTris opposition has already filed
claims aggregating S590OO0, but the re-
organization committee GO not believe
the claims will have to be paid after ad-
Judication. Mr.. Meyer offered to give
any additional security which the court
might exact for the payment of any
claims
The question of the Claims which less
ors Of distillery ground might bring
against the estate in the event of a sale
was presented to the court by Noble b.
judah. who appears for Messrs. Greenhut
and Morris. He warned the court that
the lessons, when they found their rent
ais were not paid, might present claims
for the whole period and the possible ag-
gregate of liabilities in that connection
was $3.50 900. 1t is the opinion of the re-
organization lawyers that the lessons can
not collect a cent, because they entered
into an unlawful contract under the SUI
preme court decision. The lawyers limited
that Mr.. Greenhut might now get an in
junction in a state court to restrain
Judge Showalter from selling the prop
erty.
