WHISKY TRUST STATEMENT.
The Business Affairs In No Such Con
dition as Represented.
Chicago, Feb. 21.—Ueoetvers 37c-
Nu,,a, M.rehell aDd Lawrence this
morning submitted to Judge Urosscup
an (Inventory of the financial c md.tlnn
of toe whisky trust up to Jauujry 2s.
Tho import is very favorable to ihe
company. It is a detailed statement
and shows assets and liabilities. Ac
cording to It, the condition of the trust
was raucb exaggerated by the petitions
for a reco.vershlp. Several aavta
which were not Included In the orig
inal petition are set forth and the lia
bilities are not nearly so large as there
represented. The .properties, including
real estate and plants, are rov owed at
$8,804,348-416. In this connection n
note states that the original construc
tion account has been charged wTth
$3,508,400 par value of stocks. At the
same time this stock was credited on
the hooks as “treasury stock profit ac
count,” at $1,574,280, which was the
amount realised from (he sale of the
stock In question. The money wis
used In purchasing tho tilujfeldt and
Calumet properties In Chicago, wnted
•properties were charged on the books
at $1,764,763, thus making a donme
charge to (he amount of $T.574 2D
.The “quick” assets are estimated at
$1,638,648, of which him sum of $162,-
730 Is cash In hand. This by no means,
however, ropresettts tho true amount
of cash at the disposal of the trust, as
it doe* not Include the Individual ac
counts of tbe various d stllleries which
belong -to the trust The contingent as
sets arc $164,260 and the total surplus
property and assets amount to
$3.728068. Tbe current liabilities are
$561,500 and the balance surplus as
sets is $1,077,006. Tho report **Ytes

IXepsn'l* on Their Reply,
Atlanta, Feb. 21.—(Special.)—Tho
state exposition commission held an
Important meeting today. Col. It. T.
Nesbitt, commissioner of agriculture,
executive offloer of the board, who hail
been at his home sick for six weeks,
was present. For two hours tho board
dlscuaued the question cf a state build
ing, with President Collier and a spe
cial oomtmitteo at tho Exposition com.
pony.
Governor Atkinson) In caning the
meeting to order replied to the per
sistence of the exposition people In
pushing the appropriation bill through
the legislature, because Georgia's fail
ure to recognize the exposition would
have been a serious stumbling b'.bck.
The governor said that tho state com
mission had done all It could to pro
vide Z. Its’e tmtUtre without calling : .
upon the Exposition company, but that
since their efforts had proven unsm -
ctwit.', he had determined to call upon
the Exiposltlon company to fulfil pr el
ites made when (he appropriation t ill j*
was ponding. He presented a repul l
of tho speech made in the house by
Oapt. E. P. Howell, of Fulton, one lr* <
tbe exposition director*. In which Capt.Sj
Hawed premised the state a $40,000 . :■
building If the legislature would but/^
give the money to collect the state's
exhibit. •
The governor said the legislature was
induced to a great extent to make th/1
appropriation by the promise, and, un
less it whs carried out by the exposi
tion company, tire board-sgpuld be In
serious doubt whether the opportunity
could be touched for a state exhibit.
President Collier and (he others of
the exposition committee ipropcsed to
recognize tbe justice of the position
taken by the state board and several
plans In the nature of overture" wero
submitted.
After the conference with tho ex
position committee, too atatc board
jtu-sed a involution, expressing ttio
ooubt about tlio legality or wlstom of
making any display of the state'" re
