wHIsKEY TRUST REBATES.
Opinion Uphoiding the Validity of
Vouchers ns Contracts.

CHICAGO. November l2.-Judge sho-
walter. Of the United States Circuit
Court. has given an extended opinion in
the old Whskey Trust rebate case. which
was passed upon some time ago by Spe-
cial-Master Patton adversely to the
holders of rebate vouchers which had been
issued by the trust. and the conditions
OF which had been broken by the original
holders. Nose Solomon had bought a lot
OF these questionable papers, and sought
TO recover their face value. About 100000
Of similar claims have been presented in
the Federal Court.
Judge Showalter holds that Master Pat
ton was right in disallOwing the claims;
that the rebate vouchers constituted con-
tracts; that the condition as TO the hold
ers' being entitled TO rebate Of Z cents
a gallon If they purchased their require
ments OF the trust exclusively for six
consecutive months was not Illegal, and
that the holders who have broken the
condition cannot recover.
Directly. this ruling affects the Ameri-
can Spirits Manufacturing Company. but
indirectly it uphOds the same trade regu-
laton of such corporations as the sugar
trust, the spool-cOtton combination, and
the Arbuckle Brothers Company. Sub
stantially all the claims against the old
whiskey trust are now wiped out except
a few unimportant ones which are pend
ing on some Of the leases which the trust
contracted. Under direction of Judge
Showalter, Receiver McNulta refused
these leases. a test case Of the alleged
liens was decided against the claimant.
and II is now before the Federal Court Of
Appeals. and representatives Of other
corporations are said to be sharing in the
defence.
