Opened by Blowing 1t if Necessary.
CHICAGO. Feb 1.-Developments in the
whisky trust case today were of a sensa-
tional nature? The books which Judge
Grosscup had ordered examined at Peoria
were found to be locked up.
This unexpected development caused
considerable CONSERVATION in the ranks

tee. Last night Nathan Bijure of New
ork left for Peoria, accompanied by
two expert accountants and armed with
an order from Judge Grosscup
for an examination of the books
of the company. Early today
word was received that access to the
books was denied. Mr. Blur wired that
the books were behind the bolts and bars
of the company's vault and that the only
man having the combination to the safe
was out of town. His request for instruc-
tions was answered Immediately by tel
egram ordering him to secure the books
at any cost and by any means and assur-
ing him of support in any methods he
might see fit to use.
The stockholders attorney said:
"The court has ordered those books ex-
amined, and we will examine them il

diately announced by Governor Morrill,
There was no balloting in the selection
of the commissioners, the members of
the executive council simply talking
matters over informally until they reached
an agreement.
1t has been generally conceded for sew
eral months that ]. M Simpson and Joe
Lowe were to have places on the board,
but who the third man would be
has been mystery and the members of
the council themselves had great diff
Guilty in making the selection as there
we're about twenty candidates for the
place.
Mr. Simpson is elected to succeed W.
d. Vincent of Clay Center, and his term
is for three years.
Joe Lowe will succeed John Hall of
Erie and will have term of two years.
while Mr.. Howe was chosen to succeed
P. B. ALaxson and his term is for one
year only, unless reelected.
J. NJ. Simpson was chairman of the
Republican state central committee two
years ago and this year W as member
of the sub-executive committee and was
Chairman Cy Leland's right hand man
throughout the campaign.
Samuel I. Howe has been prominent
ly identified with the Republican party
for many years and is best known as ex-
state treasurer and successful banker
and business man. Mr.. Howe furnished
a large amount of Republican literature
during the late campaign in the way of
figures showing the conditions brought
about by the Populist administration.
| Joe Lowe is a lawyer and will be the
! legal end of the board. He is credited
with having helped David Overmyer di-
vide the Democratic vote by keeping a
straight party ticket in the field, thereby

The Capture of Fort Wei Hal Wei Makes
This Possible for Japanese.
LONDON, Feb. Count Takaskie Ka-
to, the Japanese minister to Great Brit
ain. in an interview on the subject of the
capture of Wei Hal Wei by the Japanese
says: Although the capture of Wei Hal
Wei is of great moment, it is
not of the first Importance The place
isvery much isolated, and the Mikado's
troops are really no nearer Peking than
they were before. The great question
now is, what will the Chinese feet in the
harbor do? The Gulf of Pe-Chi-Li is
practically in possession of the Japanese,
and it only remains for the Chinese to go
to Fukien, the headquarters of the
Chinese southern squadroA.
IF the Japanese commanders desire
it, there is nothing to prevent a stimuli
taneous. march upon Peking from the
north and from the south. But the way
will be long and tedious, and l do not be-
lieve that Peking will be reached
this winter. But as our object is
not to capture Peking, bat to get
the proper fruits of our victories,
l see no reason why if the Chinese
envoys whom Count Ito Hiroboumi
president of the council of ministers)
receives today present reasonable terms,
peace should not be concluded before
the break up of winter.
