FoRrIFIcAT1oN OF SWEET WINES.
The Revenue Commissioner SAYS the
Government Tables are Correct,

The Revenue Commissioner Saws the
Government Tables are Correct.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Morgan is having
more trouble about the fortification of
sweet wines IN California. Until to-day
he had no information for the public.
The dispatches he received from one of
his deputies yesterday about the matter
was supplemented this morning by a
message from Professor Hilgard, chemist
at the California State University, stating
that the department had evidently made
q mistake in the table relating to the
fortlflcatlon of sweet wines The tables
as printed showed volume for the basis
OF calculation, while the calculation had
evidently been made with reference to
weight. This, as Will be seen, in time
would have forced the wine producers to
use less alchohol than the law allows. and
IN turn would endanger the wines.
On receiving the dispatch Commits
sloner Mason instructed Richards, who
mas charge of the chemical department.
TO make another examination. Richards
spent the day looking over his work, and
reported to Mason tonight that he had
made no mistake; that the tables are cor
rect.
Mason said to q California Associated
Press representative tonight that he had
no doubt but that the department. was
correct, and added: ''But when chemist
as eminent as Professor Hilgard saws we
are wrong, we are quick to look into the
matter. never let my pride interfere
with my acknowledging mistakes, and if
your California man had been proven
correct / would have thanked him for the
correction, and the California wine men
would have been allowed to reopen the
barrel and re-rectify.'
