Not In the Newspapers.
PEORIA, Ills, March 2S President
Greenhut, of the Distilling and Cattle
Feeding company, is back in Peoria
after a protracted absence. He treated
newspaper charges against himself with
contempt, saying they were unworthy of
notice. The latest charge that the offi-
GERS had appropriated to their own use
500, 900 or SO of rebates from railroads he
pronounced on a par with other accusa-
tions, it not being backed by any author
ity. He said he was not worried by any
thing that had been said against him.
I'VE have not done anything here, he
observed, that was not legal and proper.
Newspapers are not the proper place TO
try these matters. want these people
who make these charges to produce them
in the proper place, and will hold them
accountable for them. l will be on hand
at the proper time to answer any charges
that may be made against me in the proper
way" Charles H. Garstin. who has been
agent of the fast freight lines especially
favored with shipments by the Distilling
and Cattle Feeding company. said he did
not know Of any rebates being given the
