CHICAGO GAUGRRs DETECTED IN FRAUD.
Supervisor Bloomfield, of Illinois,
writes to the Revenue Bureau here thai
the GeuSeTs of the Chicago District
Ih.ve been detected in q cOmbin ion
whe' eby they managed 70 realize a very
handsome thing, and that all of the
gargeis were engaged in it. 1t seems
that they were in the hGbit of carrying
two to four cans under their buggy
seats, holding frOm two 10 three gallons
eGch, and when called upon o inspect
30 or 100 barrels of wines, they would
draw them off from the cistern, roll
them into the warehouse in rows, draw
the bungs, tiud tie wine gallons 0.
each, ana then ticking a ihief' c
IrooI-gllss, tale about pint from CT ch
package, which they emptieG into q
large can or bucket. They thel woulG
take a pIOof IF he wine in each bucket,
&.1 make every package in the whole
lot the So me. The wines they took they
called proof, which they emp led iuto
their cans, carried in their buggles aud
delivered them 10 the Iectitiyrs, and
when they amounted to barrel they
received the money for it at the market
price. Phalomon & Co., rectifers, ..re
named as purchasing tie whisky thus
obtained. The Supervisor says the
principal operator was a Doctor Lam.
pher, who was gauger, and great
friend of Orville d. Grant, brother of
the President. He was not dismissed,
but allowed to resign. The discovery
of this fraud was made by the distillers
protesting to other revenue officials
against the g2ugers taking their whisky.
Doctor Lampher in one day sold 243
proof gallons to one firm, and in another
day took eighteen more gallons from
the distillers.
Collector Jensen, while he took notice
of it on the complaint of the distillers,
did not secure the removal of any
gaugcr but Lampher, who was not
openly dismissed with the others, be-
cause of political reasons. Commis
siorer lslcno will write to Jensen that
L4uphcr and all others in it should be
dismissed and not allowed to resign.
II further appears that the AssessOrs
finally got hold of this smuggled whis
Ky, and assessed the Saugels as whole
sale dealers; and it is added on the re-
port that the Chicago TINES learned the
story of these frauds, and was about TO
to publish all the details, but through
Orville Grants influence, aud the pay
ment of one hundred dollars, it was
suppressed. The official report cannot
be had for publication in erteRso, but
the above lisa fnll abstract. The events
occurred last month.
