The associations OF the place are familiar

Booth, and the many brilliant functions held

Alleged Scheme TO Benefit Life Savers
Likely 20 Be Prohibited.
Lieut.. Frank II. Newcomb, Of the United
States Revenue Cutter Service, and assistant
inspector of the first and second Lifc-saYing
districts, acting under instructions of General
Superintendent Kimball, of the Life-savinG
Service, have Investigated and made a report
on a scheme having for its declared object
the benefit Of the life savers along the At
lantic coast.
The plan has resulted in the publication of
q Historical Souvenir OF the Lille Saving
Service of the United States, which. without
it is prohibited. will be put on sale at the
several life saving stations along the coast.
1t is alleged that less than % per cent. OF the
amounts paid by sympathetic subscribers will
ever reach the life savers themselves and
that the remaining 70 per cent. of thercceipts
goes into the pockets OF the promoters.
The whole scheme is condemned by the
life saving officials and it may be that steps
will be taken to prevent any ono con-
nected with the service from having anything
further 10 do with the matter.

GREENHUT DENIES.
Declares Stories of Mfsappropria-
ton of Funds Are EaJse


PEORIA, ILL.,, March 11.-President
Greenhut, of the Distilling and Cattle.
feedlng company, is back in Peoria,
after protracted absence. He was at
the company's headquarters today in
consultation with Walter Barker. man
ager of the Peoria distilleries. He
treated the charges against himself
with contempt, saying they were un-
worthy of notice.
The latest charge-that the officers
mad appropriated to their own use
S40O,OO0 or SO of rebates from railroads,
he pronounced on par with the other
accusations, it not being backed by
any authority. He said he was not
worried by anything that had been
said against him.
1--WE have not done anything here !"
he said, that was not legal, and
proper. Newspapers are not the proper
place to try these matters. 1 want
these people who make these charges
to produce them in the proper place.
and l will hold them accountable for
| them. 1 will be on hand at the proper
| time to answer any charges that may
be made against me in the proper
way"
Two rooms are being fitted up in the
Woolner building for the use of Mr..
Greenhut and his son, which fact may
be taken as indicating that they are
| not to have an office in the company s
headquarters any longer.
Charles H. Garstine, who has been
| agent of the fast freight lines especial
| ly favored with shipments by the Dis
| tilling and Cattle Feeding company
said today that he did not know of any
| rebates being given the company.
