Internal Revenue Collector Gets Warning From Washington. The news comes from Washington that a caustic letter has been sent from the Treasury Department to John C. Lynch, Collector of Internal Revenue, that 1is causing that Federal official to doubt the wisdom of wading so deep into local poli- i The Collector is given a pointed hunch” to investigate the conduct of | some of his subordinates and in sarcasm that withered much of the self-compla- cency of Mr. Lynch, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue intimated that the in- vestigation might profitably extend to ;r;lm elf and his administration of the of- ce. Lynch has been promising the Commis- oner an investigation of numerous auses of complaint and adverse reports, | but has continued to neglect to make full and satisfactory reports to his superior until the Commissioner, apparently, has become convinced of Lynch’s unwilling- ness to remedy the abuses in his office. In consequence come the peremptory in- structions from Washington and rumors of a shake-up in the Federal building. And Lynch’s troubles are not coming singly, for he is now in Southern Cali- fornia trying to cover up the wrongdoings of ‘a deputy collector in that part of the State. The immediate cause of the solar plexus punch that has landed on Lynch was not, it is said, among the more flagrant abuses that exist in the internal revenue ser- vice, but it happened to be an example of the Collector's usual effort to stand be- tween his subordinates, however ineffi- cient some of them may be, and the Treasury Department for the sake of lo- cal politics. Lynch always has an eye to and with such policy any dismissal from the service t might jeopardize his power is an im- sibility. The services may suffer, but fences, never.

Thomas began looking for evi- dence, as is his duty, and in broad day- light some of the offenders put evidence S0 strong into the hands of the special agent that he based upon it an immedi- ate report to the Commissioner at Wash- ington. Thomas, in company with Frank A H. Driscoll, special gauger, had started the rounds of the warehouses by day. At the brandy warehouse on Bluxome street they came upon a giddy trio of women escort- ed by a gauger making a friendly call upon a storekeeper gauger assigned to The regulations strictly persons who are not there on business, and the offense of the gaugers in receiv- ing calls from women at such a place was of the sort that merits dismissal.

He al- leges in the complaint that Heyneman and Cornell willfully and with intent to injure his good name and credit caused his arrest May 27, 1%1, on a charge of embezzlement. Painter was accused of selling a printing press on which Cornell had a mortgage of $250 without giving due notice to Cornell. He was tried be- fore Judge Cabaniss and acquitted of the charge. Painter now claims that the ar- rest and trial damaged his reputation to the extent of $12,000 and that the time ha spent in attending the frial caused him a loss of $500. ————— Did it ever strike you tha: you can buy Jesse Moore Whiskey for the same price that is patd for just ordinary whiskey? .

In his opinion oil shoulds+be sold at the wells at 50 cents per barrel. He sald that he thought that the transportation lines should be patriotic enough to help build up the oil business of the State because that would tend to in- crease the manufacturing industries . in California.
