What the Peorians Think of q state Senate
Committee Report.
PEORIA, Ills, May 1.-THE report of
the state senate committee against the
feeding of distillery slop to cattle is re.
ceived with mingled indignation and
amusement in this city. which is the GEN.
ter of that industry and where as many
as q, coo head of cattle have been fed at
distilleries at one time. When corn was
high as much as u cents bushel was
paid for slop, and the contract price with
Nelson Morris at Distilling and Cattle
Feeding houses is 6 cents. The past sea-
son there have been 5000 head fed at the
Distilling and Cattle Feeding distilleries
and 500 at independent houses in Peoria.
To prohibit feeding of the cattle would
largely reduce the revenue and profits of
the distilleries, and Walter Barker, man
ager q the Peoria distilleries of the Dis
tilling and Cattle Feeling company, said
it would drive the distilling business out
Of the state. Barker voiced the general
opinion in Peoria when he said that the
meat from distillery-fed cattle is consid-
cred the choicest and finest there Is, and
it commands the highest price paid. 1t is
sold in the east and abroad, but not
around here, because it costs too much.
He said he would like to feed on it every
day in the year.

Involved in the Affair.
CHICAGO, May 1.-THE elimination Of
the charges against j. B. Greenhut, ex.
of his associates was reached last evening
in o bill fled in the United States circuit
court by Receiver McNulta. Greenhut
and Nelson Morris are accused of having
used the funds of the trust for outside
speculation of . personal character in
which they met with q loss of half .
million dollars. Then to make good
losses, SO it is charged, they conspired to
secure the assent of the board of directors
of the trust to the assurance of bonds in
the summer Of 1898; that they sold 81
OO0, go of the bonds at SO cents on the
dollar, appropriated the proceeds to make
up their losses in speculations, and secured
possession of $500, 900 Of bonds SO issued
at the 50-cent valuation in order to
"milk' the trust for another so cents on
the dollar. thus giving them profit of
$500, 900 on the transaction, besides sccur-
ing the payment of their losses in the
speculation. The character of spccula.
lions is not set forth.
whisky Trust Got None of the Proceeds.
Besides Greenhut and Morris there are
other defendants to the bili-ex- Directors
William n. Hobart and J. Walter Fret.
berg, of Cincinnati; Lewis Maddux, Ho-
bart's partner, and julius Freibcrg, Wal
ter's brother and the Central Trust COM
pany, of New York. All but the trust
company arc charged with completely in
the bond transaction. The receiver de-
clares in the bill filed tina. all such sales
of bonds to said directors was contrary to
the obligations of their trust rs officials,
and made without knowledge of the other
members OF the company o. the consent
of the directors. None Of the proceeds,
the receiver alleges. was ever applied to
the use OF the DiStilling and Cattle Feed
ing company. The receiver AYERS that
$50. CO.. of the bonds which were sold to
Counselman and Day are held and owned
by Nelson Morris; that 1000 of the
bonds sold to Morris are still held by him;
that s15, 600 of the bonds sold to Maddux
and Hobart are still held by them jointly,
and $50. 600 worth purchased by j. Walter
Freiberg arc held by him and his brother
Julius.
Wants to Wind Up the Concern.
The receiver prays the court to enjoin all
these defendants from disposing of the
bonds; that they be required to answer,
and that an accounting be had. The re-
ceiver recites that he is DESTROYS of wind
ing up the affairs of the trust and wishes
to sell its property and make n distribu-
ton to the stockholders. He sets forth
that of &, 500. 900 of bonds deposited with
tho Trust company of New York, settle
ment is nearing completion, all claims
having been made; that the item of rebate
claims is about 100000 and many of
them will be disputed by the receiver.
