ILLICIT DIsTlLLERs HELD.
Captain NICK aig Turns His Prisoners
over 10 the u S. !Amth0rIties.


Over to the u s. Authorities.
One would have thought that the President
of the United States or some other great
dignitary was visiting the Weldon Building
this morning from the crowds that surged
about the doors of the big structure. In
stead of the President this throng was caused
by five mean looking specimens of humanity
who drove up in the patrol wagon and We're
arraigned before United States Commls-
sioner Romaine, charged with Illicit uistill-
ing. They were Paul Schallet and his son,
Louis. Sophia Clark and her husband, as she
calls him, David Juwitz and Herman Sachs,
and they were arrested at the time Captain
McKaig raided the private still at No. 81
Culver avenue
The male prisoners were handcutfed in
pairs and stock up against the wall of the
commissioners office while the woman, a
frail delicate looking little thing who looked
as though she was going to faint every min
ute, was given chair. Gergeant Cannon
them. They were everything but desperate
looking criminals, but the police take no
chances.
Judge Puster appeared for the Schalletts
and Jarvis Atkinson represented the others.
Deputy Revenue Collector Joseph Farmer
was the first witness. He told of the ex-
animation of the premises in which the still
was found and enumerated the apparatus
for making the wlliskey which ne found
there He also exhibited samples of the vile
stuff which, it is alleged the prisoners
manufactured
Captain MeKaig, Sergeant Cannon and
the policemen who made the arrests testi
fled to the details of the raid as told in THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS at the time. Judge Pus
ter asked for the discharge of Louis Schal-
lett, claiming that all there was against him
was that he came to Jersey City in answer
to a telegram sent to his mother saying that
his father had been arrested. Policeman
Mackay, however, testified that he had seen
young Schullet bring boxes and barrels to
the house on truck, and he was held with
the others.

vyhiskey Trust Plans.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20, 1S94.-A Peoria, ILL.,,
special says:-The Whiskey Trust, it is
believed, will at once commence the with
drawal of spirits from the bonded ware
houses in this city. The company has
made arrangements for some loans from
private individuals in this city. The
amount is not known, but it is not re-
markably large. 1t will assist and keep
things going pending the arrival of funds
from the East. The story of the disagree
ment between President Greenhut and
Nelson Morris, distillers do not regard as
serious and think matters will be ad-
justed in plenty of time. 1t is thought
the big interest ON the $5,000,0OO loan has
something to do with the delays in Sc
curing the money. 1t means $1,000 day
interest and by waiting few days the
company will be more certain or the act
ion of the President. The theory of fore
ing livestock down is also gaining ground
among distilIers.

importers and merchants here claim a
serious blunder has been made in the

which the coeoanut oil is manufactured,
is subjected to duty of 80 per cent
Twelve leading firms here have united
in telegraphing a protest to Washington
urging a correction of what they believe
to be an error made through ignorance.
In their kilograms to the Pacific Coast
Congressman, they say
''Cocoanut oil being on the free list, it
is evidently a mistake to place duty
on the raw material which is only fit to
make it. Please try to place eopra on
the free list. as heretofore. 1t is of
vital interest to this country, and will
result in South Sea Island trade.'
