WASHINGTON, July 22.-COmmis-
sioner Evans, of the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau, who has been pressing
the manufacturers of beverage medi-
cines pretty closely, has had an ap-
peal taken from his ruling in the case
of Tolu Rock and Rye, made by a
Chicago house, and of which 5000, 900
bottles are said to be sold by unlicen-
sed dealers annually. Col, Evans
wrote to Collector Harvey, in Chicago,
instructing him to make demand of
the company for the payment of spe-
cial taxes as rectifiers and liquor
dealers to date from the first instant,
and to require all persons in his dis
trict who sell the compound to pay a
special tax as liquor dealers. The
appeal from this order to Secretary
Folger is pending, and will be looked
into fully before any decision is ar
rived at.
