Desperate Effort to Escape Facing Prosecution for Flagrant Viola- tions of Oleomargarine Laws. Joseph Wilkins of the firm of Wilkins & Co., the oleomargarine dealers of this city, who is under indictment in Philadelphia in connection with Howard Butler, an em- ploye of the firm of Wilkins & Co., for flagraut violations of the oleomargarine laws, and who fs also jointly indicted with his brother, Walter P. Wilkins, for similar alleged offences in the District of Columbia, has again attempted to escape prosecution by offering to pay hush money to the in- ternal revenue authorities of the United States. Ever since Wilkins and Butler were ght in Philadelphia by Special Agents wen and Van Horn of the internal rev- enue bureau in the act of stripping tubs containing oleomargarine of the internal revenue stamps and other distinguishing marks required to be placed and kept there- on by the laws of the United States, vigor- efforts have been made to prevent the ever coming to a trial. The Reasons. s has been because of a fear of the parties involved that the flagrancy of their offenses would necessitate the imposition of terms of imprisonment, as well ag fines, if they were convicted. The question of the payment of money as penalty for the illegal selling of oleomargarine has never bothered men engaged in the business a particle, because the profits accruing from the sale of olcomargariue for real butter were so great that they could casily meet any money de- mands in the shape of penalties that might be made upon them. The mere idea of prison bars, however, placed a new complexion on the condition of things, and the desperation with which Joseph Wilkins is endeavoring to escape @ trial on the charges preferred by Special Agents Bowen and Van Horn is generally regarded to be inspired by the apprehension of a prebable sentence of imprisonment in case of their conviction. A Futile Effort in November. In November last Joseph Wilkins or his representative offered the internal revenue authorities $7,000 to withdraw the cases. That was virtuaily the meaning of the of- fer. The internal revenue authorities, it will be remzembered, favored the accept- ance of this offer and the Treasury Depart- ment decided to accept it. when the Secre- tary of Agriculture, James Wilson, inter- posed @ strenuous obpection to such a pro- cedure, with the result that Attorney Gen- eral McKenna declined to consider tne recommendation of the Treasury Depart- ment that the cases be compromised. Now, while Secretary Wilson is absent from Washington and immediately upon the in- coming of a new Attorney General, Wilkins or his representatives has made another offer to compromise the cases, this time the amount proffered being $8,000. When the action taken in November by Attorney General McKenna is considered, it seems hardly creditable that such an offer could even be entertained, but the fact remains that it is being entertained and favorably by the internal revenue authorities. The attention of Attorney General Griggs has been called to the facts surrounding the Wilkins case, and the probabilities are that it until Se returns to of Agriculture Wilson hington. —_+—_ A Visitor's Suggestion. of The Evening Star: e been in your city I have been inspecting the legislative departments of the government. I wanted to find out why so many errors were committed and why legislation proceeded so irregularly. Well, I found the most of those whom 1 heard speak quite intelligent and quite anx- fous to accomplish something. 1 thought, however, that they displayed more zeal for party than for country. This did not strike me as wholly bad, however, when the suc- cess of the party was the reward for na- tional prosperity. I don’t like to mention it, but, don't you know, it struck me that there was a lack of information—knowledge, in fact—con- cerning the questions discussed that quite surprised me. When I was at home in the country and read the congressional pro- ceedings, especially concerning finance and revenue, I could hardly keep from thinking that some of them were owing to imper- fect parliamentary educauon. I made my self believe that s deficient in judgment and that there $s an abstruseness that 1 could not fathom. But since I have listened to the discussicns upon currency and rev- enue and the snap we have gotten into as indorsers for railroad corporations, I am forced to cov clude that the condition is one of educational incapacity. As a remedy, permit me to suggest the placing of the membership under eivil serv- ice rule. What is the objection? Of course every state has a right to proper represen- tation, but as these representatives have a share in’ national and interstate legislation it is not unreasonable to insist that they shall be fairly competent. If it is impor- tant that efficiency in our employes be a requisite, isn't it more important that effi- ciency in our lawmakers be a sine qua-non. Oh, at first the examinations might be— in fact, ought to be—very mild. If they were too thorough it might interrupt leg- islation by preventing a quorum even under Mr. Reed’s skill. We could leave out of the examination, say, parliamentary eti- quette. Well, not to enumerate, we might leave out everything excepting that part of the Constitution which treats of finance and revenue and the essential principles of political economy. This would have to do until chairs upon statesmanship could be es- tablished in our colleges. This would cer- tainly be done as soon as the demand arose. E. TRACY BISHOP. February 9, 1898 SS Reminder of an Aw Case. ‘Memory of a police assault that occurred wome years ago has just been revived through the recovery of a missing revolver that belonged to the officer assaulted. The affair occurred five or six years ago, Po- liceman Mason, formerly of Georgetown, but now at No. 5 precinct, in Southeast Washington, being the victim. There was a fight in the Parker family, it is said, in what is termed “Twenty Buildings,” and when the policeman reached the place he was roughly handled while attempting to make an arrest. His gun was taken from him and never recovered. The police gen- erally believed that the weapon had been thrown overboard in the canal, and would never be of any use. Policeman Sherman Lake, however, has just recovered the missing weapon, which is in comparatively good condition. A few aays ago he received a tip that the re- volver was still in use, and he investi- gated. It was secured in a small neighbor- ing town in Montgomery county, Md., and turned over to the policeman. He in turn gave it to Lieutenant Swindells, and now it is in the possession of Chief Clerk Syl- vester of the police department. —— Senator Proctor Escapes Fine. Prosecutor Mullowny today nolle prossed a charge against Redfield Proctor, one of the United States senators from Vermont, of failing to have the snow removed from his premises, No. 1635 L street northwest. Senator Proctor explained to Mr. Mullowny that he had hired a man to do the work, but that the complaint was made by the officer before the party was able to do the job, which was later attended to, —_.——_ ‘Well-Known Telegrapher Dead.

POISON SUSPECTED. x Concerning Soup Served at a Boarding House. Dr. Hird, the District chemist, expects to be able this afternoon to make an analysis of the sausage soup, which, it is claimed, caused the illness of a number of the per- sons boarding et 215 East Capitol street, as told in yesterday's Star. All those who were made ill have about recovered; and no further trouble is anticipated. Dr. Hird stated to a Star reporter today that he has been informed the cook who made the soup is suspected of placing poison in it. He was told that she was about to = a charged, and that it is believed she place: sirychnire in the soup. Dr. Hird will, therefore, look for that poison in making his analysis of the sample of soup sent to nim. It will, however, be two or three di 4 before he can complete the examination so far as to be able to say definitely whether or not the soup coptained any poison. ‘At present Dr. Hird is inclined to believe that the sausage from which the soup was made was not as fresh as it should have been, and that that condition of affairs, and not the presence of poison, occasioned the illness of the people partaking of the soup. Rumo RESULT OF A FALL. Lee Both Bones of a Wheelman Broken. Mr. Charles Darnoff, an employe of W. H. Veerhoff, the F street ‘art dealer. fell from his bicycle at the corner of 9th and F streets shortly after 1 o'clock this after- noon and broke both bones in his right leg just above the ankle. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital, where the broken bones were set. “Tomorrow the leg will be put in a plaster cast and he will be sent to his home. It is stated that Mr. Darnoff was at- tempting to cross 9th street at its inter- section with F street, when he became tangled up with treet car, a vehicle and several pedestrians. In trying to extri- cate himself he fell against the curbing, with the above mentioned result. —_—_.—_ - Principal and Accessory Sentenced.
