INCREASING THE REVENUE.

Louis Loup, Chief Deputy Internal
Revenue Collector, will soon have his
hands full, although that is not saying he
has not had his full complement of work
heretofore. AS matter of fact he has for
months been the executive official in his
department, as Collector Welburn, its
head, is obliged to devote most of his
time to outside business, and is seldom
seen in the Appraisers building.
The particular business which is to add
considerable to Mr.. Loup's duties will be
the outcome of instructions received from
Washington in regard to the distilling of
brandy from fruits. The coming of these
instructions was hera!ded last Friday in
an article published il THE CALL.
The instructions in full read:
An act to amend section 1855 of the Revised
Statutes of the Unite dStates concerning the
distilling of brandy from fruits:
Re it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of Amer
lea in Congress assembled, that section 3255
of the Revised Statutes of the United States be
and the same is hereby amended so as to read
as follows:
Section 3255. The Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, with the approval of the Secretary
of the Treasury, may exempt distillers of
brandies made exclusively from apples
peaches. grapes, pine apples, oranges, apricots,
berries prunes from any provisions of this
title relating to the manufacture of spirits,
except as to the tax thereon, when in his
judgment it may seem expedient to do SO.
Approved June 3, 1896.
In addition to his other duties Chief
Deputy Loup is also United States Sur
veyor of Stills, the only one IN this dis
trict, which extends for 700 miles from
Contra Costa County to beyond the Mex1-
can line, south of San Diego.
Speaking on the subject Mr.. Loup said
yesterday:
'This new order will be of incalculable
benefit to Central and Southern California,
There are thousands of tons of apricots
pears, oranges and prunes as well as
berries that have gone to waste for years
each season. simply that they could not
be dried and went to rot.
"It has always been considered Illicit to
make brandy from these, and now the
EN- barge is raised. Heretofore the only
brandy distilled was from apples, peaches
and grapes.
''The duty of the fruit growers desiring
to take advantage of the concession made
to them by the Government is to file new
notice and a new bond with this office,
and get resurvey OF their distlileries.
This latter work will keep me going for
many months beginning at the end of
July.
"You see, this resurveying is necessary
for the reason that each fruit has a differ
ent producing capacity, and the old sur
vey on the producing capacity OF apples,
peaches and grapes must necessarily be
upset where prunes, apricots and pears
will be utilized in Central California and
oranges in southern counties"

.GL|MPSES OF ARCADIA.
Witness Anderson On the Stand
in the AShley.Baldwin
Case.
His Intellectual Struggle With Dates.
The Trial Must Close To-
Day.

All day yesterday in Judge Slack's
court Andrew Anderson, witness for Lii
lian Ashley in her suit against E. J.
Baldwin, was on the stand.
Anderson was not good witness, at
least for the defense, which was cross-ex-
amining him regarding his know ledge of
events on the Santa Anita rancho when
Lily bloomed there.
Most all of the long hours of the day
were passed by the witness in trying to
grapple with dates. He had single-round
contests with the year, month and day of
almost every occurrence he mentioned in
his statement.
Occasionally the wearing monotony of
the long questioning and answering
was broken when the witness got away
from his unequal struggle with date and
told of some event. Then his hearers
would get peep into the Arcadia where
Lucky and Lillian roamed amid the orange
groves. The bucolic beauties of Santa
Anita would swing into view like mirage
above the desert wastes. The tree-crowned
hills, the green slopes, the adobe ranch
house, the cottage where love was ten
understanding to Witness Anderson
and the lakelet ripping over its silver
sands.
But the defendants counsel would call
witness back to the eternal dates, and the
picture would dissolve, leaving again the
wastes. The other side would never let
him stray around that cottage with its oc-
cupant. Once he read from his memo
randa note to the effect that he knew
things OF the defendants dolce far-niente
life at Santa Anita, but his knowledge was
stricken out, and he was told to tax his
recollection only with dates. He had tesli-
fed that Baldwin had told him it would
be q good Joke 10 burden Felvey, the ranch
cverseer, with the fatherhood of Miss
Ashleys child, but he was unable, even
with two journals to tell when the conver-
sation took place.
He also testified tn at he had had law
suit with Baldwin over his wages. and
while his claim amounted to 5000 he had
been obliged to take $500. He had for
merly been assisting Miss Ashley in her
suit and had contract from her promis-
ing him 10 per cent of whatever she won.
However, he had surrendered the contract
and all claims upon her upon the payment
of So.
And so the examination of the witness
went on with objections from opposing
counsel until the closing hour. The court
notified the attorneys in the case that the
trial must close to-day without fail. Mr..
Critic nden stated that the plaintiff de-
sired to put on several more witnesses and
he could not possibly finish in that time.
He was informed by Judge Slack that
there would be an evening session tonight
and the case must close then
The trial will be resumed at IL O'Clock
this morning.
