was to give the ship it's baptism, and

The props were knocked away, the

rected anXiously to the mighty hull,
but she did not move. Then an in

ways had been creased had caked to

Of the tallow is unaccountable to the

had been bought from the concern that

the launch was abandoned, however,

Chicago, March pa most sensa-
tional report was submitted to Recetv-
or McNulta, of the Whisky trust, to-
day by the experts who for. a month
have been examining the books of the
Greenhut management of the concern.
Charges of juggling accounts, doctor
ing books and similar work are made,
and the report asserts that the form
er directors and officers. by disposing
of the stock to themselves, have left
a discrepancy of 1924, 12O. The re-
port states that 34.9S4 shares Of stock
were sold by the officers and directors
to themselves at As cents on the dollar,
and that consequently almost $4,000
600 is due from them to the stockhold-
ers of the Distilling and Cattle Feed
ing company. Whether or not any
action will be taken to recover the
enormous amount thus said to be due
is rs yet undecided. Gen. McNulta has
called Il conference Of interested par
ties to consider the matter, and what
the decision will be is a question, but
there is little doubt that the experts
report will result in a hot fight be-
tween the present management and
the Greenhut people.

LORING PARK.
The Offer Is Formally Made by Min.
People.

st. Paul. March 27.-The offer ia
give Loring Park to the state for a
capitol site was made last night by the
Min%neapolitans who appeared before
the house judiciary committee. Incl
dentally it was confessed that this
much discussed park is disflgured by
Il mortgage of $4,000. But it was
added that the legislature could au-
thorize Minneapolis to donate Lorfng
Park-a very doubtful proposition
and the city of Minneapolis would in.
de;nnify the state against the possi-
bility of having a mortgage foreclosed
upon it's capitol site in case the Min
neapolis proposition were accepted.
Judge Fish of Minneapolis offered a
copy Of a bill which he claimed would
allow the city To dcBate Loring Park.
At the close Of the discussion the
committee went into executive session
and decided to consider the matter on
Thursday evening.
