FINDING OF THE LOWER COURT AFFIRMED
Under the Decision tlio Dlstltlortet In the
Die Combine \\lll Ha Sold nnd the
Affitlri of the Organization.
Wound Uji.
SPRINGFIELD , Juno 13. The supreme
our > of Illinois today filed Its opinion In the
cane of the people against the Distilling and
Cattlefeedlng company. The Judgment ol
ouster entered by the lower court Is affirmed
The effect of this decision will be to break u [
the Whisky trust. In the course of the
opinion the court eays :
"No oi.o who Intelligently considers the
eclicme of this trust as detailed In the Information
mation can for a moment doubt that It was
designed to be and was In fact a comblna-
tlon In restraint of trade ; that It was organ
Izcd for the purpose of getting control o
the manufacture and sate of all distiller ]
producta so as to stifle competition and to b <
able to dictate the amount manufactured am
the prices at which the same should be sold
nnd that Us effect Is to create or tend ti
create a virtual monopoly In manufacture It
the sale of products of that charactcr.
"No rational purpose for such an organlza
tlon can bo shown consistent with an Intcn
tlon to allow the business to run In Its nor
mal channels , to glvo competition Its legltt
mate operation nnd to allow both productloi
and prices to be controlled by the natural Influence
fluenco of supply and demand. anJ the re
tults as shown by the Information were sucl
as might be anticipates. The trust ob
talned possession of nearly all the dlstlllcrlc
nnd nearly the entire distillery products c
the United States' , thus enabling It to dlctat
prices and the amount of production , an
thus lo draw to Itself substantially the con
trol of the distillery buslnes ! of the country
The court cites a largo number of decision
showing combinations of a similar characte
that have been held Illegal In other state :
\ among others the Match trust. The oplnlo
continues :
"But It Is urged that the defendant by It
charter U nuthoilzcd to purchase and ow
distillery property , but that there Is n
limit placed upon the amount of propcrt
which It may thus acquire. By Its certlf
cato of organization It Is authorized to er
gage In a general distillery business In 111
iiols and elsewhere and to own propcrt
necessary for that purpose. It should I
remembered that nil powers In corporal
charters are to bo construed strictly an

own such property as Is necessary for carr ;
Ing on Its distillery business * nnd no mor

limited to that purpose nnd It has no po t
by Its charter to enter upon a scheme of ge
ting Into Its hands and under Its control n
or substantially all the distilling plants ar
distillery business of the country for the pit
pose of controlling production and prices , i
crushing out competition , and of establlsulr
virtual monopoly In that business. Such pu
poses are foreign to the powers granted I
charter. The acquisition of property to sui
an extent and for such purposes do not con
within the authority to own property f
the purpose of carrying on n general dl
tlllery business. In ncqulrlng dlstlllerj pro

not only misused and nbused the powe

RECEIVER M'NULTA TALKS.
Receiver John McNulta was not Incllu
to discuss the Whisky trust decision , b
nsserted his Intention to hold the trust pro
crty nt nny risk. The opinion had been e
pressed that In the event of a decision su
as was rendered today the trust's distiller !
would revert to their original owners , sot
of whom had expressed the intention of se
Ing the plants. "I don't think the declsl
will result In nny Immediate change of han
for the properties , " Receiver McNulta sa
"for I Intend to hold to all that I have
charge ns nn officer of the court"
Deputy United Stntcs mnrshals have been
on guard at the various distilleries for soi
tlmo and sturdy resistance will no doubt
made to any attempt to seUo the plants.
Attorney General Maloney. speaking of t
decision , said1 "The supreme court pn
tlcally holds that the Distilling and Catt
feeding company Is n trust nnd that as su
Judge Gibbons of Chicago did right In pi
nounclng a Judgment of civil death agali
It. The supreme court also decided that t
attorney general was right In his views
the law regarding the matter and that t
Distilling nnd Cnttlefoedlng company Is
more than a continuation of the old DIsl
tors' Cattlcfecdlug trust. The decision , "
continued , "Is ono of the ablest oplnle
over delivered by the supreme court of t
etnto. In no uncertain language It EOUI

Attorney Levy Mayer , representing i

GRKENHUT IS WELL PLEASED.
PEOR1A , June 13. J. B. Grccnhut , ex-
president of the Distilling and Cattlefeedlng
company , seemed to be very well pleased
this morning with the decision In the quo
warranto case. He said It was only what
had been expected , and tint legal proceedings
would be commenced by owners of the prop
erty leased to the trust to gain possession
of tame. Ho contends that all leases exe
cuted to the trust are by decision null and
void , and should the "stockholders seek to
retain possession of the property , suits In
ejectment will be brought against them.
Liases were for twenty-five years , nnd were
assigned by the old trust to the Distilling
and Cattlefeedlng company. There IB nc
clause In the leases providing for removal ol
betterments at the expiration of llfo thereof ,
and lessees will be apt to demand all the ;
arc entitled to. There Is a question as to the
right of lessees to remove machinery from
distilleries , and on that the fight vvlll be
made.
None of the Pcorla distillers arc Interested
In the reorganization of the trust , says Mr.
Greenhut , unless It be Walter Barker , whc
Is manager of I'eorla distilleries appointed
by the receiver. Mr Greenhut says the re
organization committee now has nothing tc
reorganize. He eays the control of tin
plants will pass to the former owners , ant
litigation will tie up other property. Mr
Greenhut says Independent houses are dolnf
at ! the business , or nearly all of It , am
are In shape to hold on to the trade In fact
of keenest competition. Only two distilling
and Cattlefeedlng houses are now being oper
ated In Peorla , and they on a small scale
and Mr Greenhut says tlry will both bi
closed In a few days. He docs not think an
other combine like the Distilling and Cattle
ceding possible , because opposition ha :
; rown too great.
Wilier Barker says the property of th <
distilling and Cattlefcedlng company Is It
.lie hands of the court , and It will pro
, ect it , and prevent any one from taklni
tossesslon of It until It determines who I
jelongs to.
to.TROUBLE
TROUBLE IS EXPECTED.
CHICAGO. Juno 13. Receiver McNulti
spent the day In making warlike prcpara
tlons that Indicated that serious trouble wa
expected from the former owners of th
trust's distilleries. A large extra force o
deputy marshals was sworn In during th
afternoon and dlstrlbu'cd among the varlou
plant' . The receiver also received a sloe
of ekv rockets and supplied the deput es wit
them as signals to be used In case the tele
phone wires ehould bo cut at night. Th
receiver refused to talk of probabilities c
trouble furth r than to say that ho Intende
to hold the distilleries at any cost and wlshe
to bo prepared for emergencies.
The representatives of the reorganlzatlo
committee and the receiver dcclareJ tha
any attempt on the part of former owners c
trust distilleries to repossess themselves c
the property would be usele's Despita thl
however , a force of thirty deputy marshal
was held at the United States marchal
office In readiness to prevent any such ai
tlon. The old Shufeldt distillery was tli

Thomas Lynch. Jr , one of the former owi
ers , was reported to have expressed the di

distilleries. Edward S Easiton , ono of tl
company that leased the Manhattan to tl
trust , says Mr. Greenhut speaks for lilmsc
and not for other Peorlans whose properl

Easton Is content with present arrangcmen
and Eays litigation will bo matter for futu :
consideration.
The Willow Springs distillery of this cl
is ono of the Institutions affected by tl
decision and the news of the defeat of tl
trust was received with unconcealed sati
faction by the local officials of the compan
The first news of the decision was recelvi
by Mr. P. E. Her through The Bee and 1
was evidently much pleased with the a
nouncemcnt. He held a brief consultatli
with his attorney , and said that the dcclsli
ould make no difference with his linmedla
lans. He was holding the property non

nbllshment was closed at present there w

inencctl Monday Orcenway Gov
ernment linn the Votes to
1'nis It.
WINNIPEG , Man. , June 13. In the Mani
toba legislature this afternoon , Attorney
General Sixton cave notice of a motion Bet
ting forth Mim.totm'B reply to the Dominion
go\ernment's demands that separate schoola
should- again be established In Manitoba. It
Is a direct refuse ! of the demand. The reply
Is In the form of a memorial addressed to
his excellency , the governor general of Can
ada , In council. It first recites the remedial
order and then submits the following.
"These privileges , which by sa'd order
we are commanded to restore to oui
Roman Catholic fellow citizens , are sub
stantially the same privileges which thej
enjojcd previously to the year 1SOO. Com
pliance with the terms of the order would
restore Catholic separate schools with nc
more satisfactory guarantees for their effi
ciency than existed prior to the sa'd ' date.
"The educational policy embodied In oui
present statutes was adopted after an exam ) ,
nation of the results of the policy thereto
fore followed , under which the separate
Roman Catholic schools ( now Eoifeht to b <
restored ) had existed for upward of nine *
teen yvars. The said schoola were found t <
be Inetllclent. As conducted under th <
Roman Catholic section of the Hoard of Edu
cation they did not possess the attributes o
efficient modern schools Their conduct , man
agement and regulation were defective. Ai
a result of tno lea\lng of a large sectloi
of the population with no better means o
education than was thus supplied , man ]
grew up In a state of 111 teracy. So far ai
\\o are aw are. there has nevsr been an at
tempt made to defend these schools on thel ;
merits and we do not know of any groum
upon which the expenditure of public mono ;
In their support could bo Justified.
"We are , therefore , compelled to rpspect
fully state to your excellency In council , tha
we cannot accept the responsibility of car
rylng Into effect the terms of the remeilla
order. The reforms effected In 1S90 hav
given an impetus to educational work , bu
the duttlcultles which are Inherent in ou
circumstances have constantly to ba met. I
will be obvious that the establishment of ;
set of Roman Catholic schools , followed b ;
a set of Anglican schools , and prooably Man
nonite , Icelandic and other schools , would s
Impair our present system that any at
preach to even our present general standar
of efficiency would be quite Impossible W
contemplate the Inauguration of such a stat
of affairs with very grave opprehenslgn W
have no hesitation In saying that there can
5 not bo suggested any measure which , to on
minds , would more seriously Imperil the ik
vclopment of our province.
COUNCIL POORLY INFORMED.
"Wo do not believe that when the remedlc
order was made there was then nvatlabl
to jour excellency In council full and acci
rate Informal on as to the working of ou
former system of schools. Wo also belle\
there was lacking the means of farming
correct Judgment as to the effect upon tli
province of the changes Indicated In th
order.
"Being Impressed ' with this view , wo re
spectfully submit tha't It Is not vet too lal
to make a full and deliberate Investigation c
the whole subject. Should such a course b
adopted ne shall cheerfully assist In offerin
1 the most complete Information available.
e "It Is urged most strongly that upon s
Important a matter. Involving as It does th
religious feelings and convictions of dlfferer
elapses of the people In Canada , and the edt
catlonal Interests of a province which Is ej
pected to become one of the most Importar
In the Dominion , no hasty action should t
taken , but that , on the contrary , the greai
est care and deliberation should be exercise
and a full and thorough Investigation madi
"As to the legislative grant , we hold th ;
It Is entirely within the control of the legli
taturo of the province , and that no part <
the public funds of the province could t
made available for the support of separal
schools without the voluntary action of tt
provincial legislature. If this be the cas <
nothing could be more unfortunate , from tl
standpoint of the Roman Catholic peep
themselves than any hasty or peremptoi
action on the part of the Parliament of Cai
ada , because such action would probably pn
duce strained relations and In the end pr <
vent the possibility of restoring harmony
"We understand It has been suggests
lately that private funds of the Roman Cat !
ollc church and people have been Invest !
In school buildings and land ? that are no
appropriated for public school purposes. >
evidence of euch fact has ever been laid b
r11 fore us , so far as.we . can ascertain , but v
11 If such Injustli
profess ourselves willing , any
le can be established , to make full and far
compensation therefor.
"In conclusion , we beg respectfully to pla
on record our continued loyalty to her gr
clous majesty and to the laws which t !
Parliament of Great Britain has In Its wl
dom eaen flt to enact for the good gover
ment of Canada "
The house then adjourned till tomorro1

This Government Ll/itile. /
WASHINGTON , Juno 13. The steamer
George Chllds , carrying the filibustering ex
pedition from Key West , has landed nt
Jamaica , Definite information to this effect
has been rece vcd here , U was due In a
largo measure to the salting of this expedi
tion last week that the administration de
termined on energetic steps to prevent viola
tion of the neutrality taw and that President
Cleveland Issued his proclamation last night.
The Information from Tampa states only
that the steamer has landed , but does not
add details as to whether the filibusters
nro still on board or were landed at some
point In Cuba. The fact that the Informa
tion from Jamaica gives only the arrival of
the Chllds , without mention of the filibus
ters , leads to the Impression In some
quarters that the suspicions directed against
her may prove unfounded , as there Is only Ir
regular Intormatlon thus far to show that
she carried the party.
If the steamer , as alleged , has carried
from the United States n supply of muni
tions of war and armed men to aid the
rebels In Cuba , the Incident may raise a
grave question as to the responsibility ol
the government. On the statement of facts
to our officials , the case boars a strong re
semblance to the celebrated Alabama affair ,
which cost the British government many
millions of dollars to settle In the Chllds
easel the vessel was under the United States
flag and practically the expedition started
In this country. It was said that our gov
ernment was duty advised of the Intended
departure of the Chllds expedition , thougl :
whether the advices were In themselves
sufficient to make up a prima facie case Jus
tifying the nrrest of the parties or the de
tention of the vessel under the terms of oui
law , cannot b learned. By the terms of the
treaty of Washington , the United State !
bound Great Britain and Itself to the doc
trine that a nation Is bound to use "du (
diligence" to prevent the departure 01
armed expeditions aga'nst a friendly nation
This raises the point whether the Unltei
States can bo held to have exercised dm
diligence in the matter.

MAJ. HALFORD QOE8 TO DENVER
Orderi from WmhlnRtou Transfer a Popu
lar Piijrnnnter ti > Another Station.
According to the following dispatch , which
was received by The Bee from Washington
last night. Major Halford , who for almost
two jears lias been paymaster for the De
partment of the Platte In this city , wilt bo
transferred to Dciner :
"Major Elijah W. Halford. paymaster , has
been relieved from duty at Omaha and as
signed to duty at Denver , headquarters of
the Department of the Colorado. "
Major Halford stated last night to a
reporter that ho had no doubt that the
telegram was true. Ho said that some time
ago he received unofficial notification that
ho was to IK ; transferred to some other
station , but the name of the city to which
he was to be sent was not mentioned. He
had expected It , too , because of the
changes that have already been made in
the corps. There ore three paymasters in
this department , and there is not enough
work to keep them busy. Major Halford
was probably chosen as the one to be trans
ferred , as the other two paymasters out
rank him In the length of their terms of
service.
Major Halford was appointed to the pay
department of the army at the expiration ol
President Harrison's term of olllce , during
which he was Mr. Harrison's private sec
retary. His first duty was In Paris , where
ho was placed In the disbursing office ol
the Bering Sea commission. From there he
came directly to this city , two jears ago
next August. During his residence hero he
has taken a verj active Interest In all klndp
of religious work , and ho has been especially
Identified with the work of.tho Young Men's
Christian association. He has served one
term ns president of that Institution , anil
last month was re-elected. During his con
nection with It he has given remarkable Im
petus to the work of the association , anO
much of the success that It has attained dur
ing the last two years can be largely as
signed to his own personal efforts. He
has spent the larger part of the time thai
was not devoted to hie official duties In
pushing It forward In every way.
"I regret very much to leave the city,1
said Major Halford "During the two years
that I hare been hero I have been treated
very kindly and have formed many pleas
ant acquaintances. I understand that aboul
six weeks ago a number of letters vcn
sent to Washington asking that I be re
tained here , and I appreciate much tlili
token of regard. "
While he has no knowledge of the matter
as ho has not received official notlllcatlot
of his transfer , Major Halford thinks tha
ho will be Bent to Denver some time durliu
the latter part of this month , In order t <
be there when the monthly dlsburscmen
takes place on July 1.
Major Halford lives at 602 South Twenty
ninth street , his family consisting of ai
only daughter.

SPIUNGVIEW , Neb. , Juno 13. ( Special

In the extierne. So says the coroner s Jury anl
Porter Is being heU without Kill. The jartlcj

derer. Is an old settler of this county , a Jus
tice of the peace , and a member of Spring-

public. The WoodforKf , murdereJ , are a
family of newcomers , negroes , from Kansas
City or St. Joe , consisting of fattier , mother
and ten children , the children being all weak
I mlnJcd , and the whole family vcr > much dl-
I lapidated. Woodfork. nbout three weeks ago ,
took their team , two olJ ponies , wagon and
harness and left his family , going to part *
unknown. Some time ago Woodfork bought
an old horse and got Porter to elgn the note
with him. When Woodfork left his family
Porter came and got the horse and swoic In
the presence of some neighbors that ho would
kill the whole family.
Yesterday Mrs. Woodfork went to where
Porter's boy was herding cattle , got the old
horse , worth about J3 , brought It home and
locked It up In the stable.
Porter was seen after seen coming across
lots with a doublo-b.nreled shot gun. when
the Woodforl : family , thinking It a bluff , ran
out to the barn or near by to Kerp Porter
from removing the horse. A quarrel ensued
and Porter knocked Mrs. Woodfork down
with Ills gun , Inflicting probably a fatal
wound over the right cje.
KILLED AN UNARMED BOY.
Ho then turned his attention to the oldest
boy , who by this time was on the run over
the sand hills and out of range of Porter's
gun. A younger boy , standing by the sldo
of his prostrate mother , said :
"Why , you have killed my mother. " Then
Porter leveled his gun on the unarmed boy
and said *
"Yes , and I'll Mil you , too , " and fired The
whole load of buckshot passed thiongh the
boy's chest about four Inches below the cliln ,
making a hole that a good sized man could
run his urm through , killing the boy In
stantly.
Porter then got onto a horse , throw Ills
gun on his back and came to town and
gave himself up. The Bee reporter has done
his best to get a statement from Porter.
Ho says ho Knocked the woman down and
killed the boy , but did It In self-defense.
There is talk of lynching Porter , but It

YORK , Neb. , Juno 13 ( Special Telegram. )
As a result of a feud , which has been in
existence for years , Gtorge K'ngeii lies dying
at the homo of John P. WIddup , and Frank
Hazelett has been arrested as his murderer.
The murder took place about twenty-five
miles southwest of York , near Cordova , to
day.
day.Klngcn
Klngcn and George Boslough were driving
from Cordova. They passed the farm of
Victor Hazelett. Frank Hazclett , his son ,
was repairing a fence when they paused. As
alleged by young Hazelett , Klnscn , as soon
as he saw him. Jerked his hand toward hU
hip pocket as though to draw a revolver ,
whereupon Hazelett opened ilro upon him
with a double-barreled shotgun , which was
lying near , loaded w th buckshot The main
wound Is In the back of the head , yet his
back was fa rly punctured by bullets Bos-
lough escaped without Injury , although
Hazclctt In firing was several jards away
when he shot at Klngcn ,
This tragedy recalls to the mind the feud
which has existed between the Haielett'a
and WIddup and Klngen. About fho years
ago Klngeji resided In York together with
his family As a result of some domestic
Jar , Mrs. Klngen left him and went to hep
father's , Victor Hnzelett's homo. This was
the starting of the trouble Klngen circu
lated reports that one James .McMullen was
criminally Intimate with his wife For an
assault on him McMullen sued Klngcn for
damage ? and wat > awarded same In the dis
trict court of York county Some time after
this Victor Haielctt , Mrs. Klngcn and Jams
McMullen were driving home from York ono
evening and when about a mile from the
homo of WIddup , Klngen , who was hiding
In a clump of trees near by , slipped out and
at the point of a revolver forced them to
stop. McMullen In trying to escape wan shot
at and barely escaped being killed.
For this Klngcn was arre-ted end sen cncel
to tl c penitentiary for two years In March ,
through the cffoitii of John P. WIddup ,
Klngen was paroled by Governor Holcomb ,
and since that time has been residing with
vYIdlup During the laH few days It sccmn
that Klngen has boasted that as soon as his
sentence run out he would massacre a few
Jozen of these who were li B.rjmintal n endIng -
Ing him to the penitentiary
The latest reports from Cordova show that
Klngen Is dying As soon as he was taken
homo ho requested that a prostitute of tills
city be sent for She left Immediately for
the home of WIddup. Prank Hazclctt came
In tonight and gjvo himself up. He was ac
companied by several persans. who cxprcweJ
a belief that Hazelett was Justified In killing
Klngen. Though laboring under excitement ,
he alleges that ho thought what ho had done
was In telf-defense The community of Cor
dova IB greatly excltcJ over the affair.
