I*".-*. •% ■mm THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: APRIL 18, 1895. 1I1BII181L Ibcre Are Items Ainonniing to More Than a Million Dollars Unac counted For. NUMEROUS IRREGULARITIES. Check. Were Issued and Paid, hut No Statement a. to What They Were For — Oreenhnt'e Peculiar Method, of Bookkeeping. Chicago, April 16.—Of the many sen sations furnished by the 'Whisky Trust since Joseph B. Greenhut first had him self appointed receiver and was outed by the stockholders, none approaches In magnitude that furnished by the filing with Judge Showalter In' the United States consult court this after noon of the balance sheet of the com pany as It appeared March 31, 1803. Practically, the whole period of the alleged Iniquitous reign of the Green- hut faction Is covered by the figures given therein, which are startling even to those who have been told in advance that disclosures of an usual nature were to be made. The sum of 31,133,- 113 is totally unaccounted for, to say nothing of the other Items which ap pear all right at first glance, and which are off-set by figures on the books. The first Irregular ltm occurs In the purchase of the Shufeldt and Calumet distilleries. The net cost of. these dis- tllerles, after charging Inventory to capital In operating plants. Is put down at 31,634,279. The amount derived from the sale of 34,984 shares of treasury stock (these are the shares which the company soia itself) is i -iUi deducted, leaving in round numbers 360,000. A note by experts in regard to this pur chase charges that. 3244.443 are unac counted for on the books. Another note lu the same connection is as follows: "To meet cash payments required by contracts for purchase of Calumet dis tillery the following two deposits were made in Chicago: Deposit of 3100,000 in Fiftt National bank, Chicago, and deposit of 3150,000 in Chicago National bank. No vouchers or checks showing to whom paid." in the opinion of those who are in a position to know, while no open charge can be made on this last Item, it shows a method of boodkeeping, If nothing more, that is, to say the least, exceedingly Irregular. , Coming to the purchase of the Star, Crescent, Central and Nebraska Dis tilleries, the report of the experts says: “We find no voucher or other evi dence of the expenditure of six drafts on J. B Greehut Issued between No vember 15, 30, 1892, and paid through the German-Amerlcan National bank of Peoria, supposed to be drawn for such payments on account of these dis tilleries.” ‘ , Five matured notes of Samuel Wool, nor in favor of the Sar and Crescent and the Central and Nebraska distil leries, all paid by exchange through the German-Amerlcan National bank, amounted to 3185.000, and 3200.000 was paid to Samuel Woolner, to which there Is no vouener and to which the experts have fixed the notes: "Explanation required.” . j The total deductions from the cost of the purchase of the distilleries are put down at 3185,000, which Is the sec ond discrepancy shown in the report. The third discrepancy comes under the head of "Items to be accounted Tor. The sum Of these Is 3510,134. These Items of this sum appear a payments to Greenhut and Woolner or payments to other In Greehut’s check. This this money Is put down as loss chrged against Investment accounts In the reports of the experts, npd note stntes the amount was written off after the books were closed for the fiscal year, 1893, and that no details or ex planation was given. "The company's books are under tne charge of tile treasurer, who Is also one of the directors. They contain fig ures only which have been entered by the bookkeeper without any Informa tion as to their meaning, except what the treasurer chose to give hint or what he may have Inferred from the circum stances. The treasurer understood the books, but no one else, except, possi bly, the directors; hence It has been nnd Is an Impossibility to properly audit the expendtlures, which run Into millions, from the books into our pos session. Some idea of the total lack of information In the books Is given by the notes attached In this report to some of the Items.” I,<■ v 1 Mayer and S. D. Rice, of the reorganisation committee left for Pe oria this afternoon to attend the an nual meeting of the trust there tomor row. ' A FATEFUL TRAGEDY.

London, April 18.—The Globe, com- mea.lng on ilie terms of the treaty of peace alleged to have been signed by the Japanese and Chinese plenipoten tiaries in Shimonog.-kl yesterday, gays provisions two, throe, four anil six. re. spcotlvely, allowing Japan to retain the conquered places; to retain terri tory east of ithc U.io ever: ceding For mosa permanently to Japan, and mak ing an offensive and defensive alliance between J'a.pan aDd Chinn, are simply Impossible. Europe, ithe Globe declare!, will not assent to any condition which places China's Intent resource! under Japan ese control, no matter whether m -war or in commerce. A dispatch to the Globe from Yoko hama says the peace conference s.it five hour* yesterday and It is believed to have been the final along. Chinese plen-lpotentla-ries arc pivjxiriug to leave for home. A CABLDGiRAiU FROM FOSTER. Washington, April 10.—The reported signing of toe traa'y of peace between Oh mi and Japan has been confirmed by a cablegram rce-ived this morning from Hon. John W, Foster, adviser of the Chinese plenipotentiary. It is dated Shlananosek:, April 15, and says: "Ever.vti.ag seCtlrvl satis factorily. Treaty s'gned today.” No particulars -are given. The cablegram IS a private one, but it Is assumed that the details published this morning are correct. Faster will probably remain In .Lipin n sluort time, until all the details are soiled, and then he may accompiuy Ll Hurig Ghang to Pekin. It is believed at the stale department thui: the terms of pi-ice agreed upon be tween China and Tap.tn, os reported from Loudon, are substantially correct. From information hirO'ofori* received at the dupartniart, otfioials understand that the cotntitons indue) the inde pendence of Korea, p-riiiatwot cession of Formosa, and offensive and defen sive alliance between China -rail Japan. This last condition was expected to be in the form of a aeor. t protocol. The -t-wo other conditions, viz.. Ja pan's retention of 'he conquered places and of territory east of the Li ad river, may be oorrexlt. Th** fifth condition, fixing the indemnity at $100,000,000, is deleved (to be inoor'ect, unless It re fers to a gold payment. Late -this afternom Secretary Gres ham received a cablegram from Minis ter Dun ait Tokio, Ji-pan, confirming the press dispatches limit: a peace -treaty had been signed by Japan and China. The- message was terse, and simply started that “peace uegotia-tlons be tween Japan and China were conclud ed today.” TERMS NOT PUBLISHED. Loudon, April 16.—A dispatch from To kio to tlhe Central News, dated 17th, says that -the treaty of peace between China and Japan was signed this morning. The terms of the settlement, the dispatch says, will probaibty not be divulged until the treaty Is ratified. RUSSIA MAY INTERFERE. London, April 16.—A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the Poult-lsehe Correspon dent of Vienna fays: "Russia is firmly resolved not to allow tha muMon hv China to Japan of anv ter ritory on the eastern Asiatic continent, and wtM not shrink from entering Into a serious Conflict with Japan if her wishes cannot otherwise be attained. France Is resolved to support Russia in this posi tion. Reports from England show that that dountry is lending support to Japan.” The Standard's Vienna correspondent says the writer of the dispatch from St. Petersburg in the Potlttsche Oorreepon- dsns never writes without Inspiration from the foreign office and he Is fre quently used by that department for feelers. A DEFIANCE OF -EUROPE. London, April 16.—A dispatch from Tokio to the Central News tvtys the Chinese war indemnity will be paid In teele. The Chroolclo tomorrow will say that such terms a* has be -n announced as the conditions of peace between China and Japan would be a defiance of Europe and a danger of the world.” The Time* will print tomorrow the following dispatch from Pekin: "Word has reached here that he de cision on the peace settlement was left to Ll Hung Chang. The views r-f the court on the matter were only a gen eral character and did not hampor the viceroy. .
