ANOTHER FRAUD
ON THE REVENUE
COMES TO LIGHT

Internal Revenue Agents Thomas and
Tuwne have Unearthed another gigantic
fraud against the Government on the
part of unscrupulous cigar manufacturers
in New York New Jersey and Pennsylva-
MIA The fraud does not consist in the use
of counterfeit revenue cigar stamps, and
hence must have been going on for long
time, the stamps being genuine and there
being nothing about the boxes to attract
suspicion
About a week ago Mr. Thomas discov-
cred that certain manufacturers were dis
tributing throughout the United States
sample boxes containing tWenty-siK and
ffty-one cigars each. the stamps on the
boxes being for twenty-five and fifty each,
thus defrauding the Government out of
the tax on one cigar in each box, or out
of forty in each thousand cigars The
Government would not suffer much if the
number of these boxes was not large. but
when it runs into the tens of thousands
distributed over every State in the Union
it is q serious matter
1t is apparent that no manufacturer
would care TO run the risk of detection in
a fraud Of this kind-the risk involving
the confscauon of his factory and of his
entire stock-merely to save a few dollars
The saving must have run up into the
thousands.
The agents began their seizures a day
or two ago and succeeded in getting 5000
cigars in Los Angeles They are on the
track of others in this city and expect
10 round up many more thousands to-day.
Mr. Thomas was the first person to
make this important discovery and he i'm
mediately wired 10 the head of the reve-
nue. department in Washington and there
days seizures viii be made in every State

NO MONEY AND NO PROSPECTS
ONE TIME PROMINENT IN THE
BUCKLEY RANKS.
Eight Years Ago He Was One of the
Principal Actors in Tragedy
That Has Weakened His
Mind.

Major ]. ]. Barnett, an old-time politi-
clan, attempted yesterday morning to
commit suicide at 1117 Broadway, where
he resides with some friends, by slashing
his left wrist six times with razor. He
was taken to the Receiving Hospital in
the patrol wagon and his wounds were
attended to- Barnett said that If his
friend had not discovered him while he
was slashing his wrist he would have
killed himself. He was tired of life, as he
was without money and had no prospect
81 am a lifelong friend of Chris Buck
ley he said, and previous TO the last
election went to Buckley and asked him
He said he would, but | was not success
full l called upon him a few days ago
and again asked him to look out for me
after the next election, but he did not
give me any hope of success, and | con-
cluded the best thing for me was to die"
As Barnett was very weak from the
remain in the hospital until something
could be done by his friends for him.
Barnett was one of the principal actors
in a tragedy about eight years ago. He
and May Castree, a handsome woman of
the town, were infatuated with each
other and one night after they had been
room over a saloon on Mason street, the
woman saton his knee and suggested that
they should both die. They talked the
matter over and finally Barnett consent
ed He had a revolver in his pocket and
after they had taken an affectionate fare
well of each other Barnett placed the
muzzle of the revolver over the woman s
heart and fired, killing her instantly. He
then placed the weapon over his own
heart and fired. but the bullet missed the
fatal spot by the fraction of an inch. He
did not recover for several months, and
when he did he was arrested on the
charge of murder After a trial before
jury in the Superior Court he was ac-
quilted Since then he has not been in
exactly his right mind, It is thought from
broOding over the tragedy.
