There was no meeting OF the Metropolitan Board OF
Revenue yesterday and no seizures were reported at
tho Office of the Deputy Commissioner Colonel Mess
more yesterday called to Washington epocial

this sudden call supposed to be the trouble arising
Of the late sales Brooklyn Of whskey that had been

who caused the seizures in many cases, received
much moro money than realized by the United
States government. In justice TO Colonel Messmore and
the Metropolitan Revenue Board II is fair to say that
them htgacd before the Deputy Commissioner re-
ceived his appointment and before the Board was
suted by the Secretary of the Treasury the Inter-
nal Revenue Commissioner at Washington.
II docs seem as though the Metropolitan Board was,

tho vast number of complaints that made in rela
ton to the action Of the inspectors In eecng
