PROMINENT MEN INVOLVED Internal Revenue Officers Declare They Have Evidence of Violations of Law by Both the Manufacturers and. Dealers—Government- Said to Have Lost Over Five Millions in Revenue in Five Years. Chicago, March 7.—The people of Chicago have been consuming 50,000 pounds a day of colored oleomargarine in the belief that they were eating butter, the government has lost $5,- 476,000 in revenue in five years and unscrupulous dealers have netted a total illicit profit close to $10,000,000 o that period. These were a few of the startling facts brought to light by the federal investigation into the ac- tivities of butterine “moonshiners” and which will involve men high in business and public life in Chicago and ‘Washington. The wholesale operatinns of the “moonshiners” had become 8o suc- cessful and profitable that negotia- tions had been opened for control of a fleet of tugboats, aboard which it was planned this spring and summer to color white “oleo” illicitly far from the possible interference of federal revenue officers. Such is the colossal fraud situation ‘which the federal grand jury has been asked by Judge Kenesaw M. Landis to investigate and which attaches of the district- attorney’s office declare will result in sending a score of men to the federal prison. The sensations of the last few days in the oleomargarine scandal, it is said, will pale into comparative insig- nificance when certain disclosures are made by revenue officers and “moon- shiners” to the grand jury shortly. The revenue officers are declared to hold evidence of violations by both manufacturers and dealers of three regulations in the oleomargarine law as follows: First—Evasion of the 10 cents a pound tax for coloring oleomargarine. Second—Fraudulent use of inspec- tion labels. Third—Purveying “renovated” or “process” butter without so mark- ing it. Pepys’ Kiss.
