REVENUE MEN ALLEGE FRAUD Malter’s Big Distillery at Antioch Held Up by Uncle Sam. F:d:ml Agents Charge That Ons Thousand Barrels of Black Strap Were Handled There Con- trary to Law. SR Special Internal Revenue Agent Burt M. Thomas discovered several days ag> that the fruit brandy distillery of the Cal- ifornia Distilling Company &t Antioch had received 1000 barrels of black molasses within the last few months. Molasses is one of the articles that fruit distilleries are forbidden to distll, and the penalty for using it or other prohibited substance is conflscation of the entire distillery and product. Deputy McCabe was detalled to investi- gate the matter, and he secured proof that the above mentioned quantity of “black strap” had been recelved at the distillery and that the greater part of it had disap- peared. An examination of the books of the distillery was at once instituted under the direction of Internal Revenue Collec- tor John C. Lynch, and two of the em- ployes, George Weeks and George Tomp- kins, were subpenaed to appear yesterday to be interrogated regarding the affairs of the distillery. In the absence of Collector Lynch his chief deputy, Robert Frick, conducted the examination. The wiinesses made no objection and were about to begin testifying, when George H. Malter, president of t le distil- ared with two attorneys, and against the witnesses being in- ogated unless in nis presence and tha < and a stenographer. Dep- uty Frick ruled that he had the authority to exclude any sons he pleased, whera- upon M d the attorneys ad- vised We >mpkins to refuse to answer any question Mr. Frick thereupon swore to a com- plaint alnst the witnesses charging them with contempt of court, as provided in the reven , but it was too la! in t in attachment iss dants, and furgher pro- ceedings were deferred until to-Gay. Mr. Malter owns a vineyard and distil- faltermoro, near the city of The distillery at Antioch is one of the most extensive and valuable fruit brandy plants in the State. ' Should it established that he has distilleu the “bla strap” the product, even in tie hands of purchasers, is liable to selzure ation. [ T Y ) | in Tehama Coun! Some months ago the Tehama County Oil C ompany was organ- ized, naming Red Pluff as its place of . Now another company has been Tormen o be known a8 the Hehama Com: pany, with headquarters at Corning. The last named company is composed of Sac. men, who will work west of The Hanford Sentinel says of the pro- posed oil exchange for that city: There is a proposition on foot among the well as several other local varties, to organize and conduct an. oil exchange A. Rubenstein has taken the matter in hand and has interviewed of the pro business men of the ard to the matter, and all appear | ixhly favor of the proposition. The object is to organize the local exchange and place it among the other exchanges in the country, so that the oll fields of this im- mediate section, which are, up to the present time, free from the boom Which bas taken strict, will be hold of the Kern River )ld that they may participat jrokers will be allowed to take charge of the buying and selling of stocks during the daily ions of the exchenge. . The stocks of the i panies and flelds will probably be allowed o be placed in the exchange free of but outside companies will be charged an entrace fee. The proposition is to fit up a room somewhers in town, where the ex- change wiil hold daily sessions and by which the Coalinza oll fields will become better known. Humboldt County papers report the oil excitement to be on in that county In sev- eral localities. Mendocino County, ac- cording to the Ukiah Dispatch, 18’ also stirred up. The Dispatch says that ‘there are good indieations of ofl at Point Arena, Mendeeino City and Long Valley. Referring to the investments in oil stocks in the interfor counties the Vaca- ville Reporter says: The purchase of oil stocks has gone to such an extent that it is making a tight money market in Vacaville. We are of the opinion | th not less than $40,000 of Vacaville money has already been put into ofl stocks. The probabilities are that before the first six months of this year are out Vacaville will have put $100,000 cash into oil stocks. A water weil on the place of W.

Within a very short period fifty new derricks have been put up and various strikes have been reported in the field.

The Guerne- ville X-Rays says in event of oil being struck In paying quantities about seven miles of pipe line would connect tanks on Coal Oil Creek with the railroad station at Cazadero, and sixteen miles would lay it down at Guerneville station.

ANOTHER BREAX FROM THE DETENTION Six Japanese laborers, who arrived re- cently on the Nippon Maru as stowaways and who were denied a landing by Immi- gration Commissioner North, escaped from the Selentlon shed at the Mail dock at 2:30 yesterday morning. They had cut geveral gunny sacks into strips and made a rope with which they let themselves out of a window at the wharf. This makes a total of Seventeen persons —eleven Chinese and six Japanese, who have escaped from the detention shed during the last three months and a gen- eral delivery is looked for any night.

Grammer, general traffic | manager of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern and the Lake Erie and Western rallroads, arrived in San Francisco yes- terday and is a guest at the Palace. He expressed himself very plainly with refer- ence to the railroad situation in Califor- | i nia and declared that the deal whereby the Harriman-Vanderbilt syndicate se- cured control of the Southern Pacific was | bound to be of great benefit to this State. | “The VanderbiTts took hold Df the roads | I represent several years ago,” he said, ‘and since that time they have run on a | | model plan. I do not think that the new | deal will résult in any change in the pes sonality of the staff just at present. 1 do | think, though, that some day there might | be a president appointed for both roads | who would represent the two companles in New York. “Consolidation does not mean that the number of men employed by the railroad companies shall be cut down. Three vears ago in the East there was a consolidation of fast freight lines, but tHis did not cut down the number of men employed. “The general opinion in the East is that the Harrimdn syndicate in buying the Southern Pacific stock did it as a result of 2 carefully considered scheme. It was not { done hastily, but had been planned for perhaps a year or more. With the own- Lrehip of tha Union Pacific and the South- ern Pacific in the same hands there wlil be a harmonious feeling, no cutting of rates and better th‘nj: for California.” Jewish Ladies’ Council.
