BIG WHISKEY INTERESTS.
A Question as to the Legality Of the
Recent Sales.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15 15--Application was
made to Judge O'Brien in the Supreme
court today by Louis Marshall, counsel
for the objecting stockholders of the
Distilllng and Feeding Company, for a re-
settlement of the order denying an in
junction TO restrain the reorganization
committee from bidding on the II dis
tilleries, which were sold at Chicago for
~, 800, GOO by order OF the United States
Circuit Court.
MIR. Marshall said thao while the refusal
OF an Injunction had permitted the re-
organization committee 10 bid at the
sale, there seemed 10 be some question in
Judge O'Brien's mind~ss t. the legality
OF certain parts of the committees scheme
OF reorganization. He said that the
entire plan of That committee was before
the court in the application for an in
junction and he asked Judge O'Bren to
SO modify his previous order denying the
Injunction as TO prevent the committee
from carrying out the scheme by trans
ferring the property purchased yesterday
TO new company about to be organized
with a capital stock of $50, 900, 600. He
said that a resettlement of the order was
asked for because the committee had
bought the distilleries and would carry out
its plans before papers could be prepared
to enjoin them in another action. De-
cision was reserved.
