TREASURY DECISIONS
 ON TOBACCO AND BEER
OF INTEREST TO THOSE WHO
 HANDLE LEAF TOBACCO.
Brewers Exempt Where Beer Is Sold in Stamped Bar
 rels.

The following decisions were sent to Collector Jackson yesterday by the Sec retary of the Treasury. They are of considerable importance to merchants and others in business.
 Leaf tobacco taken from the original package and moistened and pressed with the stems in, or first stemmed and then moistened and pressed, is regarded as a manufactured tobacco and subject to tax when sold or offered for sale and con sumption in the United States; and the person, who prepares leaf tobacco in this manner for sale and would be regarded as manufacturer of tobacco, and all tobacco so manufac- tured, although intended expressly for export, would be required to be exported Tn bond from the place of manufacture. Leaf tobacco and manufactured pressed a dealer in leaf tobacco without the pay ment of tax to consumers, or as supplies for vessels engaged in the coastwise trade of the United States.
 Brewers are by express exempting provision of the law entitled to sell their the tax stamps are affixed without pay ing the special tax therefor as malt liquor dealers, and 1t matters not wheth- CT these sales are made by themselves or by their agents under them, nor at how many places such sales are made ing by the addition of the necessary quan- ttty of spirits Is a medicinal article, and persons who sell 1t only under a label specifying the diseases for which 1t is held out as a remedy, never knowingly selling 1t to those who buy it for use as a tax as liquor dealers on account of it's sale.

'CREEGAN HAS
 HOPES OF 4
 SHORT TERM Why He Decided to
 Confess. TIRED OF THE JAIL LIFE ACH SAYS HE HAD PLENTY OF
 EVIDENCE. The Police Believe That They Have Finally Broken Up the
 Famous Gang of
 Forgers.

Whether or not Becker, the premier forger of the world is convicted on his next trial for raising @ Nevada Bank draft from SIP to $22,000, the Police De- partment will congratulate itself on hav- ing broken up the most daring and skill fuI gang that ever mulcted the banks of two continents. Jimmy Creegan'S con- fession means the complete disruption or the gang even if they all go scot free. Deane, the business man." became frightened when he was arrested and seized the opportunity to turn States evidence, hoping thereby to escape pun McClusky followed Deanes lead and now Creegan, the middle man, seeks mercy from the Bankers Association by also turning against Becker, the principal in the deal. Becker "squealed" on his part ners on several occasions and now not one of the gang would trust another mem Der if they were at liberty to continue their nefarious trade. Captain Seymour says there has not been a professional bank forgery in this country since Becker and his gang were arrested.
 Creegan admits having made clean breast of the deal and gives as his excuse that he IS sick of remaining in jail. He does not say that his betrayal of his pal will insure his liberty or a lighter sen tence than he would otherwise have re- ceived It is evident he expected to be convicted and to obtain leniency he de- cided to confess, plead guilty at the next trial and take his chances. Knowing the bankers are particularly anxious to get Becker out of the way he believes he and Deane will be given an opportunity to reform.
 Henry Ach, who is prosecuting the for gers says Creegan's confession was noI needed and that he will be prosecuted with Becker unless he withdraws his plea of not guilty and acknowledges his crime.
 The case was called in Judge Wallaces court yesterday and at the request Of the defense the drawing of the jurors was deferred until Thursday. A speclaI VenlIe of 100 names was ordered drawn and the case will proceed without further delay.
 When the case was called Becker was alone at the bar and Judge Wallace askeu prisoner. He was sitting back among, the spectators with Captain Seymour; ana on the Judges order come forward 10 tle bar. He did not take his former seat pe- side Becker and no look of recognition passed between them.

Captain George W. Whitman, Whom Chief Lees Has
 Declared Must Resign

that not one unfriendly word has been ex- changed and that they entertain for each other only feelings of esteem amounting almost to brotherly love.
 But those in the outer room of the Chiefs office and passing in the corridor overheard the Chief fairly shriek that he would force Whitman to resign, and the captain retort in equally high pitched tones that nobody could compel him to leave the force.
 It was a torrid half hour for both, and poor John Seymour, in the outer oflce, was in frenzy of fear lest enough should reach outside ears to reveal the secret cause of the trouble. After a time the angry voices became more subdued, and when finally Captain Whitman left the Chiefs presence, f1orid of countenance and still showing signs of the excitement he had been laboring under, he did so with an attempt at friendliness intended to de- ceive the others, but so forced as to be painfully apparent.
 The interview, or rather interviews-for Whitman retired once and returned later for the second round-laSted nearly two hours. Whitman had been in the Chief's S room for some time when those outside became aware from the steadily rising tones that. something unusual was going on. The captain was evidently being ripped up the back in the Chiefs most artistic manner, and was striving to escape the operation, but with nothing like complete success.
 Louder grew the voices until they rang through the long corridor and even pene- trated to the reporters room in the base ment. The trouble was, apparently, in re- gard to Chinatown affairs, and the Chief reviewed the matter as far back as the period when Whitman was a sergeant and was tried by the Commissioners on denizens of that district. The climax was reached when Lees, in voice that for

 The man was actually under arrest for stealing milk as Officer J. J. Crowley caught him coming off a step with the bottle of lacteal fluid and a newspaper in his hands. He at once arrested him and charged him with stealing the milk When he was placed on the stand yester- day morning and asked what he was do- ing on the doorstep he at once replied that he had gone up there to take the paper, and Judge Mogan at once con cluded the case.

 With a Deadly
 Weapon.
IMAGINES THAT AN ENEMY IS
 PURSUING HIM.

Henry Gierken, who was struck on the head with a water pitcher, causing a fracture of the skull, is locked up in a padded cell in the Receiving Hospital hopelessly insane. A short time after he was taken to the Receiving Hospital he exhibited symptoms of insanity, and It was deemed advisable to remove him to the insane ward.
 Gierken who Is employed at the Union Iron Works lives at 65 Stevenson street. Several nights ago he met friend named Thomas Quirk, and they had numerous drinks together. Gierken invited Quirk to accompany him to his home, where they engaged in quarrel. Getting the worst of the encounter, Quirk picked up a water pitcher and struck Gierken on the head with it. fracturing the skull.
 Quirk was arrested immediately after the trouble and was charged with an as- sault with a deadly weapon. Gierken was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where he was detained, as it was believed that he was fatally injured.
 During the night he left the ward in which he was confined and ran screaming down the corridor. Steward Fogerty seized him and induced him to return to the ward. The following day he became violently insane and he was removed to the insane department. The surgeons at the hospital are convinced that Gierken's s at the hands of Quirk. To-day he will be taken before the Commissioners of h. sanity to be examined as to his mental condition. Gierken imagines that an enemy is pursuing him determined to take his life.

F there was a single belle or 8 soli-
 tary beau missing from the gay
 throng at the Colonial tea yester- day afternoon or evening the un-
 fortunate one is destined to remain unknown, lost to those who make the social history of the State, an exile from the select multitude whose names spell the exclusive blue book.
 Everybody was there. Those who follow MT Greenway trod upon the toes of MT. Salisbury's set, while in between the crush were wedged many who never attended cotillon and only glean their knowledge of the swell set by reading the list of those present. Other affairs for a deserving cause have been given, but never has every body, irrespective of creed, opinion and social position, responded so unanimously to the call of a worthy charity.
 The Colonial tea was given for the benefit of the California Girls Train ing Home and the patronesses who had the affair in charge are confident that they have cleared considerably over s2000 The various booths-each and every one thing of beauty boast ing of some novel and altogether artiS- tic arrangement-did a thriving busi- ness. Long before the closing hour there was not a thing left on sale, save a few boutonnieres, which the charm ing flower girls with rare forethought divided so as to make one bouquet do service for several. Many beau went about with a bit of stalk or a sprig of green pinned to the lapel or his coat for which he gladly paid the full value demanded for a complete "buttonhole."
