CHARTER POWERS EXCEEDED
The Idea of the Trust, the Court Sage,
Was Plainly to Crush Out Legitimate
Competition apt] create a. liIohop-
oly'Controlling the Business.
CHICAGO, June lat—The supreme court
of Illinois has filed its opinion in the case
of the People versus the Distilling and
Cattle Feeding company. The judgment
of ouster entered by the lower court is
affirmed. The effect of this decision will
' be to break up the Whisky trust. _
Within a day or two Receiver MoNulta
will file a bill asking that Greenhut be or-
dered t turn over to the stockholders of
the Wh sky trust $500, 000 in stocks which
he is alleged to have purchased with the
money of the corporation.
This action grows Out of information se-
cured by the receiver regarding the famous
cipher dispatches which passed between
Greenhut and certain stockbrokers.
Mr. McNulta has come into possession
of Mr. Greenhut’s cipher code and can
translate private dispatches which Green-
hut refused to decipher while on the wit-
ness stand.
Receiver McNulta. “'ill Hang On.
Receiver John McNuita was not in-
clined to discuss the Whisky trust decision,
but asserted his intention to hold the
trust’s property at any cost. The opinion
had been expressed that in the event of a
decision such as was rendered today the
trust’s disrilleries would revert to the-
original owners, some of whom had ex-
pressed the intention of seizing the plants.
“I don’t think the decision will result in
any immediate change of hands of the
properties,” Receiver McNulta said, “for
I intend to hold to all that I have in
charge as an officer of the court.”
The representatives of the reorganiza-
tion committee and the receiver declared
that any attempt on the part of former
owners of trust distilleries to repossess
itbb‘mselves of the propertywould be use-
less. »Despite this,_ however, a force of 30
depu‘ty mm‘shals is held atrthe United
States marshul’s pfiice in readiness to pre-
vent any such action. The Olfl Shufeldt
distillery was the plant at {9,1013 Lr0117310
was expected, as Thomas Lynch, an, 0%?
‘of the former owners, was reported to be -e
expressed the determination to regain con-
trol of the iroperty. '
* ’Attorncj‘ General Maloney, speaking of
the decision, said: “The supreme court
practically holds that the Distilling and
Cattle Feeding company is a trust and
that assuch Judge Gibbons of Clicago did
right in pronouncing a sentence of civil
death against it. The supreme court also
decided that the attorney general was right
in his views of the law regarding the mat-
ter and that the Distilling and Cattle
Feeding company is .... more than a con-
tinuation of the old Liablllal's’ Cattle Feed-
ing trust. The decision is one of the ablest
opinions ever delivered by the supreme
court of this state. In no uncertain lan-
guage it sounds the dcathknell of trusts
in this state forever. On every point on
which I made a fight I was sustained.”
“mm the Court Says.
In the course of the opinion the court
says: ”No one who intelligently considers
the scheme of this trust can for a moment
doubt that it was designed and was, in
fact, a combination in restraint of trade,
and that it was organized for the purpose
of getting control of the manufacture and
the sale of all distillery products so as to
' stifle competition and to be able to dictate
I
the amount manufactured and the prices
at which the same should be sold, and
that its effect is to create or tend to create
a virtual monopoly in manufacture in the
sale of products of that character.
“No rational purpose for such an organ-
ization can be shown consistent with an
intention to allow the business to run in
its normal channels, to give competition
its legitimate operation and to allow both
production and prices to be controlled by
the natural influence of supply and de-
mand. and the results as shown by the in-
formation wcre such as might be antici-
pated. The trust obtained possession of
nearly all the distilleries and nearly the
entire distillery products of the United
States, thus enabling it- to dictate the
prices and the amount of production and
thus to draw to itself substantially the con-
trol of the distillery business of the coun-
try. ”
The court cites a large number of deci-
sions showing combinations of a similar
:haractcr that have been held illegal in
other states, among others the Match
trust. The opinion continues:
"But it is urged that the defendant by
its charter is authorized to purchase and
own distillery property, but that there is
no limit placed upon the amount of‘prop-
orty which it may thus acquire. The de-
fendant is authorized to own such proper—
ty as is necessary for carrying on its dis-
tillery business and no' more. Its power
to acquire and hold property is limited to
.that purpose and it has no power by its
charter to enter upon a scheme of getting
into its hands and under its control all, or
substantially all, the distilling plants and
distillerics of the country for the purpose
of controlling production and prices or
crushing out competition and 0f establish—
ing a virtual monopoly in that business.
- Such purposes are foreign to the powors
granted by charter. The acquisition of
property to such an extent and for such
purposes does not come witfli the author-
'ity to own property for the purpose of car-
rying on a general distillery business.”
Reorganization Committee Pleased.
Attorney Levy Mayer. representing the
reorganization ceizzmiiteo. regarded the
decision as a victory.
“We have been anxiously waiting for
this decision,” he said. “and are highly
pleased that it has come and come in the
way of an ailirmance. It removes all 0b-
stacles from the way of the reorganization
committee and makes a reorganization
new a matter of but a few days.
“ Receiver McNulta has the right to tem-
porarily continue the business until an ad-
vantageous sale can be made of the prop-
--orty.
“The supreme court decision makes a
sale of the property which is now in the
hands of the federal court receiver inevita‘
ble. It is this sale for which the reorgani~
zation committee has been striving might
and main ever since Mr. Greenhut was re-
moved from the receivership.”

MURDER AND _ SUICIDE. -
Dissolute Baum Kills Brother-inelaw Har-
vey and Then Shoots Himself.
Warm-inner, Conn, June 14.—A mur-
der and suicide occurred here at 11 a. m.
in the most prominent thoroughfare of
the city—West Main street. The murderer
was William Bowne, and his victim'was‘
William Harvey, his brother-in-law.
Bowne had been leading such a dissolute
life that his wife left him and Went with
her three children to live with Harvey.
who conducted a hotel and saloon with his
brother, Fred Harvey, the champion pool
player. Harvey forbade Bowne from com-
ing to his place. and they quarreled fre-
quently over the abuse Bowne had inflict-
ed upon his wife. Just before the shoot-
ing Harvey was seated bacgof the cigar
case at the front of the saloon. Bowne
passed in back of the screen, looked about
the saloon a few moments, and when he
espied Harvey came forward.
Before those in the saloon could surmise
'what he intended Bowne stepped up to
the cigar case with a drawn revolver.
“ Your time‘has come, ” said he to Harvey
and then fired twice. Only one bullet
took effect. but that was fatal. It struck
Harvey back of his right ear and lodged in
his brain. He died in a few minutes.
When Harvey dropped, Bowne turned the
pistol upon himself. He shot a bullet
clean through his head, from the right to
the left temple, and died instantly. ’
