INTERNAL REVENUE DECISIONS Regulations Affecting Distillers Who Have Suspended Operations
 After Giving Due Notice.

Internal Revenue Collector Lynch has been notified by the Treasury Depart ment of the following decisions:
 Distillers who have discontinued ope- rations, and without bond as distillers and without holding requisite special tax stamps as liquor dealers have sold their distilled spirits, should be reported for assessment of special tax and penalty. The fact, however, that a person has ceased to operate his distillery does not prevent him from giving bonds as dis tiller there, with notice of continued sus- pension, to secure exemption from spe- cial tax for selling his spirits in the orig inal stamped packages at the distillery or at the place of storage in bond.
 Under the exempting provision of sec tion 3246. Revised Statutes, it is held that a manufacturer may sell wine at two places without. paying special tax as a liquor dealer, viz: The place of manufac- ture and at a general business office else where
 Internal revenue stamps are redeema- ble when owned and presented for re- demption by persons or their legal rep resentatives authorized to purchase and use them for the payment of taxes.

ALONE AND HOMELESS.
Pitiable Condition of a Boy Who Ar
 rived Here From New Mexico.

Ragged and penniless Morris Ford, aged IA years, last night applied at the City Prison for shelter To Desk Ser geant Brown the unfortunate boy said that he had arrived here yesterday fore noon from New Mexico. His object in coming to this city was to find his sister, who he thinks lives somewhere on Ellis street.
 "The last time she wrote us." he tear fully remarked. 'she informed us she was living on Ellis street and was happily married. A short time ago my parents died. and I was left without any money. I determined to make an attempt to reach this city in the hope of finding my sister My poor mother told me she was living somewhere on Ellis street, and after her death I resolved to locate her. Being without money and friends, l con- cluded to make a desperate effort. to reach my sister in this city. Boarding the first train that left New Mexico. I rode a considerable distance, when the conductor learning that l was without a ticket. elected me. After waiting for some tirne I boarded another train and met with the same experience Several of the passengers evidently knowing of my sad condition, gave me a small sum of money, which enabled me to reach the next station.
 After being cuffed and kicked and sub iected to the most inhuman treatment, finally managed to reach this city,.
 To-day the police will endeavor to find the sister of the boy.

THE CORONA WRECK.
Investigation Begun by the Local
 Inspectors of Steam Vessels.

The United States inspectors of local and foreign steam vessels have begun an investigation into the grounding of the steamship Corona which ran on a reef in British Columbian waters on January 23 of this year.
 c. H. Pierce. master of the Corona, testified that the Corona struck at TIP a. m. She left Seattle January 2O bound for Alaska, and touched at Victoria and Port Townsend. The course was steered rounding Watson Rock at 6:45 a. m., Jan uary % At $50 a. m. she was on her course, magnetic north 4212 west, until 7:05 a. m Then her course was north g west by standard compass, 1 degree easterly variation, and at northwest by north it had no variation.
 When she struck on the reef the wit ness ordered the engines reversed. Then he ordered them stopped, and the bilges sounded and the hold examined. A short time after that the vessel was reported to be making water. The boats were ordered cleared away and the passengers were landed with provisions.
 Between 10 and Ii a. m. the Corona went down by the stern. It was not vet daylight when she struck and the weather was dark and cloudy. Kennedys Island was obscured by clouds and could not be seen.
 The captains testimony was corrob orated by that of Thomas Hogan. There are several witnesses in Seattle and the board will wait for their appearance be- fore taking any further steps in the matter.

 ON THE BOOKS The Public Library Gives Free Access to Ten Thousand
 Volumes. A Remarkable Innovation Which Shows That the Public Can
 Be Trusted.

The Free Library Is about to bloom forth with an enterprising innovation that is almost as startling as it will be grati- flying to the many thousands who use it.
 Beginning with Sunday 10000 volumes will be opened to the free and wholly un- restricted access of the public. People may roam about the shelves and look over the books without even having to deposit a pasteboard check, and they will be trusted to get their books charged at the desk if they take one away. These 10 900 volumes will include the best and most popular works of all classes intended for general circulation, and may be taken from the shelves to the reading tables as well as taken for home use.
 This innovation is in line with the mod ern tendency of public libraries toward greater freedom of public use, and is mainly due to the enterprising ideas and efforts of Librarian George T. Clarke. Association libraries like the Mechanics and the Mercantile here have long per mitted free access to shelves but this places the San Francisco library in the lead in this regard among public libraries everywhere.
 Several interesting experiments have preceded the move. It was only three years ago when everybody who entered the outer door had to take a big brass check to be surrendered at the desk be- fore book would be given out. That was done away with as a mark of conf dence in popular honesty. Two and a segregated and the children were al- lowed to make selections direct from the shelves. In twenty-one months, with a circulation of 11S,000 juvenile, but thirty six volumes were lost. Then the 12,000 volumes in the five branches were opened to shelf access. and there were no books reported missing. The shelves. in the reference and periodical rooms were opened to library readers. and then as an experiment 800 books for general cir culation were placed in the reference room. where they could be looked over and none disappeared.
 All these things have slowly convinced the trustees that the book-using public can be trusted. Last year 571 800 volumes were circulated and but thirty-one were lost from all causes. It is expected that the innovation will vastly increase the popularity of the library and the use of it's 9S GOO volumes, besides increasing the use of the standard books. On account of the changes to be made in the library arrangement no books will be issued to- morrow.

Officials Not Anxious to Be Relieved of
 Wards.
The Swift Home Refused a Permit to Keep
 Girl.
A Terse Telegram Is Received at the District Attorneys
 Office.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

A strained relationship exists between Mrs. Swift of this city and the super intendent of the Reform School at Whit tier. Mrs. Swift is a philanthropic lady of means who believes that more good can be accomplished by personally deal ing with wayward girls than can possi- bly follow a term at Whittier.
 With this idea in view Mrs. Swift, who is backed by the Seventh-day Adventist Association of this city, has started a home at Fruitvale for the recla imation of girls wayward, but not necessarily criminal. There is now under detention in this county a girl less than b years of age, who is under an order of the court to be sent to Whittier. Mrs. Swift and her associates are of the opinion that it would be a good opportunity to put this girl in the Fruitvale Home rather than let her go to Whittier. For this purpose communication was had with the officials at Whittier and it is under stood that the District Attorneys office concurS in the course outlined by the Oakland philanthropists. To the sur egram was received by the District At torney from Whittier, which stated: send the girl here immediately.'
 Mrs. pr. Knox, a school director and Club, is also interested in the Swift Home, and when the contents of the dis patch was made known to the lady there was much indignation expressed.
 There is something in this l cannot unerstand," said Dr. Knox this afternoon We are told that the school at Whittier is so crowded with boys and girls that there is really no room for any more, yet when a legitimate effort is made to re- lieVe the pressure the effort is practically refused. It is well known that term at Whittier is enough to condemn the flu ture life of any young person. In the institution at Fruitvale girl would be under good care and influence, would be taught something and certainly, if re- formation were possible, she would be reformed. In the case under considera- tion Mrs. Swift has made application 10 be appointed guardian of the girl. This action is surely evidence of good faith on her part, and I cannot conceive why the management at Whittier is opposed to such an offer.
 This morning the matter of the letters of guardianship came up before Judge Ellsworth and the matter was explained to him, but owing to some witnesses be- ing absent the case was continued for a day or two. The court remarked that it was not necessary to obtain the consent of the Whittier officials, because the girl could be ordered released on parole by the court which committed her.

ROBBED HIS EMPLOYERS. Arrest of Two Men on Three Charges
 of Petty Larceny.

Detectives Tom Gibson and Egan last night arrested Charles Schumacher and Justine Porsic and booked them on three charges of petty larceny each. Schumacher is a clerk in the employ of the Crown Paper Company.
 For some time past the proprietors of the concern have missed a number of paper bags, and, suspecting wrong, they notified the police. An investigation re- vealed that the imprisoned clerk would visie the factory before the other em- ployes arrived and allow Porsic, his ac- complice. to get away with as many bags as he could conveniently carry. The lat ter would then visit some patron of the company and dispose of the bags It is estimated that by these means the men managed to rob the firm Of several hun dred dollars
