COMPROMISE REFUSED.
Action of Attorney General Griggs in
an OleOmarGarine Case.

an O1eOmargarine Case.
Attorney General Griggs has again given
proof of his determination to let the law
take its course with alleged violators of the
oleomargarine laws who come under his
official notice, despite the evident desires
of the treasury officials to the contrary
Once III a while persons engaged in the
oleo trade are apprehended in the act of
alleged offenses against the law by agents
of the internal revenue bureau. In case
these offenders are not arraigned before
some United States legal authority they are
invariably permitted to escape prosecution
by paying money into the internal revenue
bureau as compromise" In the
event Of their getting before a le-
gal authority they as invariably Of
fer money to compromise in or
der to escape prosecution, and the commits
soner of internal revenue as invariably
recommends the acceptance of such an Of
fer. Then the Secretary of the Treasury
as invariably approves such recommended
items.
Recently an offer of 5000 was made by
Braun & Fitch of Chicago, the third
the United States, to compromise
charge OF violating the oleomargarine
laws. preferred against a customer
of theirs named Maloney. Commissioner
Wilson promptly recommended the accept
ance of the $1,000. Secretary Gage as
promptly approved the commissioners rec
ommendation. AS 1t was one of the cases
in which the law branch of the government
had become interested, the matter had to
be referred to Attorney General Griggs.
In the meantime, however, the assistant
and acting secretary Of agriculture, j. HI.
Brigham, had learned of the attempt of
Braun & Fitch to divert the course of
justice, and wrote a letter to the treasury
officials requesting that the offer of COM
promise be rejected. This request by the
head of one executive department to that
of another was not granted.
Attorney General Griggs. however, set
tied the question in brief opinion, stating
that the courts were the best resorts in
which the ca Sc could be settled.
