END OF "CORNCOB PIPE" CASE
Four of Defendants Found Guilty in
United States Circuit Court of
Using Mails to Defraud.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-After a hotly fought
trial four of the defendants in the celebrated
"corncob pipe case" were tonight found
guilty in the United States circuit court of
using the mails to defraud. The four men
are: Henry Ringbeck, E. w. Northstein, M.
McElhany and Arthur Miller. One of the de-
fendants William Ruff, had already pleaded
guilty No action has been taken in the
cases of w. S. Daily and j. E. Wilmington,
who were jointly indicted with the others
named. Their testimony was of great value
to the movement and mol pros may be
entered for them. The witnesses brought in
by the government came from a dozen
states, showing how widespread was the
operation of the scheme to defraud
1t was the plan of the defendants, as
shown by the testimony, to write to the
mayor or postmaster of a town telling him
that cornco5 pipe factory could be estab-
lished for 1000 and operated at small ex-
pense, while the profits were represented to
be large. The men, whose headquarters
were at Washington, Mo-, would then offer
to sell suitable machinery for $500 to 5000.
In each case where factory was actually
put in operation 1t was found next to i'm
possible to dispose of the product at ALL so
overstocked was the corncob pipe market.
The government alleged that the price asked
for the machinery was so excessive as to be
fraudulent and that the purpose of the de-
PENDANTS letters was to cause an undue and
inordinate demand for machinery which
really could not be proftably used. The
attorneys for the defendants will make mo-
tion for new trial.

FRAUDS IN LIQUOR TRADE
Senate Committee Obtains Evidence
of How the Government Loses
Millions in Revenue.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.--The senate COM
mittee on manufactures. represented by
Senator Mason of Illinois, resumed today its
investigation into the adulteration of Ii
quors. George B. Sadler seditor of Bon
forts Wine and Spirit CiEouIar, was the
first witness. ~+sshsSs'
II firmly believe" he said, that OF the
imported spirits which are protected by a
high duty more of the spurious than the
genuine is sold.
Mr.. Sadler said the government loses at
least $6,000,000 annually in the matter of
spirits alone by dealers using imitation la
bells. BY spurious beer labels he thought
the government loss exceeded 81, 900, 900 an
nually. Keywuod C. Brown. a bother Of
imported ales, testified that he had known
labels.
Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Sadler agreed that
senate bill $3.50, If enacted, would have done
much to rectify the evil.
DR.. Francis Wyatt, consulting chemist to
the National Brewing academy, said the
use of starch bearing cereals in the manu-
facture of beer does not influence it's quail
ity nor detract from it's purity. In i'm
ported beers, DR.. Wyatt said, he had found
b-sulphite of lime, which he considered a
better and more wholesome preservative
than salcy acid. In imported wines, DR..
Wyatt said, he had found great adultera-
ton.
