Policeman kimmell;of the sixth precinct

complaint of Max Greenberg, clerk in
Brueninger's jeweiry store, and escorted
them to police headquarters, where they
were interviewed by Inspector Hollinber-
ger.Mr. Greenberg told the officer that the
men came in the store and were shown
some diamond pins. 4
They then wanted to look at some rings,
and when they had disappeared from the
store the clerk says he missed a diamond
pin. The prisoners gave their names as Jos.
and Harry Hastings, and said they lived at
No l37 Roxbury street, Boston: Four days
ago they came here, so they said, and have
stopped at the Elsmere Hotel.
Policeman Kimmell searched the men, but
found nothing en- them except their watches
and money.

them.

BoNA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to is a bona flee one.
1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-
tisers, by sending out thousands OF
papers to newsstalds. which are re-
turnable, and which are in fact re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
judge by results, and bogus circula-
lions don't give them.
The circulation Of The Star Is
many thousands in excess Of any
other Washington paper and Is be-
lieved to be fully five times that OF
any afternoon contemporary.

THE TOw-LINEN SUIT.

Thomas Reed, COngressmen Hit,
Hatch and others Wear 1t.
The tow-linen suit seems to be affected
far more in Washington than in any other
city in the United States. Although the
most serviceable clothes for hot summer
weather that a man can wear, combining
with comparative cheapness great ad-
vantages over flannel suits as regards
GOODNESS and adaptability to the laundry
process there are stin many prejudices
against it which have been gradually over.
come In the capital by such men as ex-
Speaker Reed, Congressman Hit, Hatch
and other statesmen who have pioneered
the tow suit to popularity. A good tow
suit can be purchased for about $40 and
some tailors make them for SIS, but they
can be bought for $40 and as low as So.
One young man sent to Kentucky last
year for one of these IS tow suits. II
proved perfect fit, even il it did look
suspiciously like sacking, but he wore 1t
until it was soiled and then sent it to the
laundry. He never discovered the fun ex-
tent of his purchase until he put 1t on
after its first washing. Instead of shrink
ing the trousers had stretched six inches
and the coat nearly reached to his knees.
He carried it to his tailor and had the
surplus trimmed off, until once more it
fitted him perfectly. After wearing it
week or ten days he sent ii again to the
laundry and when it came back he opened
the package with a feeling of wonder
what idiosyncrasy the suit had developed
in the meantime. This time it had stretch
ed only about four inches, but had shrunk
correspondingly in breadth, forming a
very close fit about the hips and Shout
ders. Once more it was rehabilitated by
the tailor and worn until soiled. When
it came back from the laundry the third
time 1t was still long enough in the legs
to fit the original possessor while in
every other direction it had shrunk into
a fading remembrance of its former self

shows more cunning in his methods than
do those of the south. This is doubtless
because of his more varied training, for
the southern moonshiners are, as a rule.
countrymen who have been in that line
of business perhaps half their lives. On
the other hand, the average Illicit distiller
at the north is city-bred man, belong
ing to the class whose ways are shady
generally. and with his superior training
and association, is able to devise some
very shrewd ways of concealing his oper-
atoms. One of the devices which was very
successful, too, was to run an Illicit alco-
hol still in connection with dairy.
The Brooklyn man who invented this
plan had quite successful experience. He
made his alcohol, put it into milk cans,
slipped the cans into his milk wagons with
those containing milk, and was thus able
to run them out and furnish them to a
regular line of customers some time before
he was discovered. Others operate in base
ments of buildings close down among the
wharves along the river. The incoming
vessels which bring sugar always have
more or less broken packages and leakage
which make it necessary to wash out the
accumulated sweetness" and although
it is usually filthy mess, it furnishes
material for the Illicit stills.
They buy these washings for a trifie
and are also able to buy molasses for a
very low rate. The result is that their
alcohol costs them probably not more than
IS or 20 cents a gallon. As the legitimate
manufacturers cannot make it for less
than 20 cents, and then must add ST.
per gallon for the tax. the market price
for tax-paid goods is about seven times
what the illicit distiller's product costs
him. Hence the fact that many people
are now willing to take risks which they
never before took, and and the increase
in arrests and also in the production of
Illicit alcohol.

The Forthcoming report of the commits
sioner of internal revenue will show an
enormous increase in Illicit distillation.
When the tax on distilled spirits was in
creased 20 cents gallon a new incentive
to fraud was added to that which the inter-
nal revenue authorities had already been
compelled to constantly fight. The temp
tation to cheat the government was very
great when the premium offered was 400
per cent, and was sufficient to overcome
the scruples of several hundred people in
the mountain regions of Tennessee, Ken
lucky and the Carolinas, but when another
100 per cent. was added, ii seems to have
turned the scale with the city people,
Every man has his price, it is said, and
while 400 per cent seems to have been a
satisfactory figure with the mountaineers
of the south, the city people did not yield
to temptation until 500 per cent. was bid
Then they fell, and the "sleuths" of the
inspectors division have been compelled to
give their attention to the great cities,
and especially to New York and Brooklyn,
ever since.
Some of these trained men walking
about the streets and outskirts of New
York or Brooklyn, with keen olfaetory
nerves constantly on the alert, often
scent an illicit still, and. wetting the
finger and holding it up to determine the
direction from which the wind comes,
trace and finally locate the very spot
where it emanates. Sometimes this is in
the basement of big tenement house;
sometimes in a factory Of some sort; some-
times connected with a dairy, and more
frequently beneath or In easy reach OF a
sugar refinery.
The report to be turned in shortly after
July will show an increase OF probably
60 per cent. OF arrests for illlct distilling.
