WHISKEY TRUST IS SOLD
THE REORGANIZATION COMMITTEE GETS CONTROL OF THE PROPERTY.

The Property Sold Does Not Include All
 That Was Owned by the old Trust-It
 Was Also Sold Subject to a Lien to Secure
 Certain Payments-New Company Has
 Been Formed Under Illinois Laws.
 Chicago, Aug. 14.-The property of the whiskey trust was sold at auction on the courthouse steps here to-day The sale proved mere formality, as the only bidder was the reorganization com mittee, whose bid of $9.S00,000 was ac- cepted. When General McNulta, receiv- CT of the trust, accepted for bids Levy Meyer, of counsel for the reorganiza- $9,S00,000 contained in the decree of sale on condition that the receiver pros ecute the suits for over million dol lars as provided In the decree and also on condition that all the terms of the decree are carried out to the letter. G1e then handed General McNulta a certified check for $50,000. Ten minutes were allowed for other bids and at the expiration of that time the prop erty was declared sold to the reorgani- zation committee for the sum offered.
 The property sold does not include all that was owned by the old trust. Seventeen distilleries, the cream of the lot were selected by the reorganization committee, for purchase besides the office building at Peoria. The proper ty is sold subject to a lien to secure certain payments.
 The reorganization committee must pay in cash only such proportion of the sum of $9,S0O,O00 as the total number of shares not controlled by bears to the total capital stock of the company, but 1t must pay the balance of the pur- chase price from time to time to the extent necessary to meet claims ordered paid by the court
 General McNulta retains "a lien on all the property of the trust as security that the terms of the sale shall be car ried out, and the court reserves the au- thority to retake possession of the prop erty in the event that its assets are wanted The new company, which will be called the American Spirits Manu- facturing company, was incorporated under the laws of Illinois. The direc- tors are elected and the names vii probably be made public tomorrow

 New York, Aug, 14-The' bicycle tournament held at the Manhattan track to-day developed sensational record breaking performances. Fred !. Titus lowered the worlds amateur comtetition record of ten miles. He covered the distance in 20 minutes, 5S 4-5 seconds, beating the previous rec ord of 21 minutes, 99 3-5 seconds made by Henry Maddox of Asbury Park and incidentally lowered all existing rec ords from three miles up, including the five mile record of 10 minutes, 20 2-5 seconds held by himself and J. S.. Johnson. If the pacemaking had been properly managed Titus would un- doubtedly have taken a large slice off the ten mile record, as he practically made his own pace.
 H. c. Tyler of Springfield lowered Bardons worlds professional one mile record of 1 minute, 50 2-5 seconds, cov- ering the distance in 1 minute, 49 2-5 seconds. He went on for the two mile record, off which he clipped 2-5 seconds, his time being minutes, 56 seconds.

strange turn in the wheat deal never got

which he was laboring.
The next morning Fisher went into the
market and made great furor, pounding
the price with small lots. The crowd
thought that the Keene wheat was still
coming out, and every one was still on the
selling side to be in line with Keene.
Meanwhile Henry Norton Of Bows & Co.
