GREENHUT AND LINDSAY SHUT OUT.
Judge Showalter Decides They Have No Right
 to Come Into the Case.

Chicago. July 2.-By deciding that Jos s,,h E, Greenhut and c. J.. Lindsay had 10 right to come into the whisky trust cases as parties of record, Judge Sho- walter today shut them out from ap- pealing when he issued the order for the sale of whisky trust property wanted by the reorganization committed Never theless counsel for Messrs. Greenhut, Morris and Lindsay spent the better part of the day presenting arguments and precedents to the court why an order for. a judicial sale should not be granted.
 Edwin Walker, representing. Greenhut and Lindsay. and Noble B. Judah for Morris, asked leave to file objections to the granting of an order, but the other side objected and the court reversed the decision. MT. Judah also asked leave to file an answer to the petition for a sale on the ground that Morris private char acter had therein been attacked The court was not inclined to grant this.
 Arguments on whether the court should confirm the order of sale were then begun, MT. Judah opposing the mo- ton. He said the greater part of the property was not in Cook county; that no provision had been made for the pay ment of rebates or claims of other cred itors; that the terms of the order of sale make 1t impossible for anybody but the reorganization company to buy the prop 'efty, and that the sale of several pieces thereof as whole would tend to perpet- nate trust. He then made an attack on the reorganization committee, claim ing they did not own all the stock they swore they did The receivers, he said could manage the property all right and there was no necessity for a sale
 Levi Mayer of the reorganization com mittee answered the objections of MT. Judah at considerable length As to the question of Jurisdiction, he said a con 1ormlty of the sale would be asked for in each state where the distilleries are situated.
 On consent of counsel for the reorgani- zation committee the court entered an or der providing that after the sale of the properties, 1T they are mismanaged, he can recall the sale and again place tbem in the hands of the receivers. The argu- ment will be concluded tomorrow.

THE HEAD IF HARRINGTON
  Has Rolled Into the Presidents
 Big Basket.
 AS HE DECLINED TO RESIGN The Chief of the Weather Bureau Was Sum-
 mariB Removed :,
AND NOV HE POSES AS A MARTYR
There Has Been Whispering About Him Before-Pension Employees
 Have Been Classified.

Washington, July 2.-Prof. Mark w. Harrington, chief of the weather bureau, has been removed by the president. There has been friction between Profess sor Harrington who Is a holdover in the department, and Secretary Morton, his official chief for some time.
 On the 18th of last month, according to the statement which MT. Harrington now for the first time makes. public. the pres ident requested his resignation because of personal interests,' as Professor liar rington phrases it. He declined to re- sign and the president directed his re- moval, to take effect with the beginning of the new fiscal year, July l.
 Professor Harrington was appointed by Secretary Rusk in 1890 from Miohi- gan because of his long acquaintance with meteorological matters. He was a member of the faculty of Ann Arbor uni versity and had the influence of the sena- tors from that state. There was an inyes- tieation into alleged irregularities in the weather bureau administration a year or more ago and considerable talk at that time that Mr Harringtons resignation would be acceptable, but it died away.
 Harrington himself claims that he has been martyr to political necessities.
 He said: Among the public interests which 1 had steadily in view was the preservation of the scientific corps and the protection of the bureau from the spoilsman. When a scientific bureau de- scendS to the four-year- -office-h holding plane it at once loses prestige and ceas aS to be a desirable post for competent men,"
 Major Dunwoody of the signal service is most prominently mentioned as Pro- lessor Harrington's successor, but as the weather bureau has been transferred to the control of the agricultural depart ment the assignment of an army officer : for this duty would require special or der from the secretary of war and ap- proval by the president.
 Secretary Morton, when asked about the removal of Professor Harrington this evening, said
 That is a matter that belongs proper ly to the White House, Professor liar ringtons commission bears the name of the president of the United States, and not the secretary of agriculture, and if there is anything to be stated in regard to this position it must come from the White House. I have nothing whatever to say upon the subject. You will have to see MT. Pruden, the acting private secretary at the White HouSe. Until some announcement is made from the White House I have no communication to make. MT. Cook is acting chief under the laws"
 It is noticed that the weekly crop bulle- tin issued today is signed James R. Cook, acting chief of weather bureau"
 Mr Cook is the chief clerk.
 Maj. IL H. c. Dunwoody. United States army has for some time been specifically assigned as assistant chief.
