Assuming Charge Abuut Tickets.
LOWELL. MASS, June 7.--Congress.
man Butler An,es gave out a statement
tonight regarding theS charge made
before the Republican committee at
Chicago to the effect that he was re-
sponsible for the use of alleged forged
tickets of admission to the Florida
State convention congressman Ames
declared that he had nothing whatever
to do with the tickets, either with re-
ceiving them Oh with their distribu-
ton. and that the statement credited to
former United States District Attorney
~. M. Stripping regarding the matter
is "tlnpunlifiedly not true" Tie state
ment of Congressman Anes says, in
part, regarding the Florida convention:

elections and for anti-administration

regularly elected white delegates who
did not believe in Federal control OF
elections, had the pleasure of being
present. The question arose as to how
the delegates We're to get into the con-
vention, and think ! remember saying
that as they had collected the creden-
tials. they would have to issue tick

get In. My suggestion was that If the
tickets We're necessary for admission
to the convention hall, then those who
cure them. This proved to be n COR

ranged that no one without a ticket
should enter the hall.

TO CONTROL NEW YORK
President Makes First Move Against
Pint mud Dene1r

= '"NS NAAu DSpCNs
WASHINGTON, d. c., June with
the appointment yesterday by Presi-
dent Roosevelt of John IF. OBrien,
until recently Secretary of State. to be
collector of customs at Plattsburg.
N. y. political students here see the
first move in the fight against Sena-
tors Plat and Depew to be made by
the President after he leaves the White
House nfXt spring.
1t was announced at the White
House that both the New York Sena-
tors had Endorsed Mr.. O'Brien, and with
them Representative G.. r. Malby, Of
ogdensburg. This caused some COM
ment, as Senator Plat has always OPP
posed O'Brien, and men acquainted
with the facts in the fight that has
been waged for the office said he must
have changed his mind since ho left
here at the adjournment of Congress.
Strengthening Fences.
That the President Is strengthenin
his fences in New York with the ulti-
mate idea of getting control In the
State and providing successors to its
two Senator'S, one of whom may be
himself. is the general feeling here
The O'Brien appointment is the first
move. 1t is recess appointment, and
so will not come up for confirmafio
until next session.
Mr.. oBrien is appointed to succeed
Walter c. Witherbee, who decided to
retire" several months ago. AT the
time 1t was declared that the reason
for the retirement was that Mr.. With
erbee was an anti-Taft man. He came
to Washington a short time afterwartl
and then gave out strong Taft inter-
view. This was not enough to- stem
the tide, however. and the fight for
his place went merrllS on. Mr.. With
erpee is a'man of independent means.
but liked the collectorship for the
political prominence it gave him. The
office carries a nominal salary OF
$4,000 a year. but the collector re-
ceives percentage of the duties coll
lected, which makes this amount look
small.

interesting Dispatch:

''MOONSH|NERS' IN
MIDST OF BIG CITY
Revenue Officers in Cleveland
Kept Busy Hunting Out
Illicit Whisky Makers.

Cleveland. Special; There are moon
sinners in Cleveland. 1t is commonly
supposed that the manufacture of Illicit
whisky is confined to the mountainous
region of Kentucky. Tennessee and 9TH
err southern states, but such is not the
case. A large number of moonshiner1
carry on the business in the heart OF
Cleveland.
Hundreds Of gallons Of Illicit whisky
are distilled N sold hese under the
very eyes of the revenue oaicers. These
quiet stills are operated more extensive
ly among the Russian immigrants than
any other class, although representa-
tives OF other ~nationalities are engaged
In this lucrative profession. They are
very careful In their movements, for the
revenue officers are continually on the
lookout for them, and they employ ev-
cry conceivable means of precaution
and escape in case of being trapped.
While the penalty for the first offense
IS comparatively light, If they are
caught a second time punishment
is severe
A few weeks ago a uistillery on the
west side was discovered n several
hundred gallons of whisky on which the
tax had not been paid were confiscated.
Most Of the moonshin,rs, however, con-

they remain undetected for years.
Sometimes the stills are conducted in
easements, sometimes in upper stories.
and two or three buildings are rented
by moonshiners and used apparently
for other purposes, while in reality they
are but a blind to mislead.
Smelling Them Out"
1t is extremely difficult to locate these
distilleries, and skill and experience are
required on the part of the detective to
smell them OFT" Usually the noon
sinners suspend business during the
day, but under the cover of darkness
operate in full blast. II the plant Is
of any considerable size the trained ear
of the detective can recognize the chug
of the machinery at work. He is more
apt. though, to locate the still by the
peculiar odor arising from the CHM
neys, and one familiar with the smell
can detect IL as quickly as an opium
den.
On nights when there Is no fog. or
the atmosphere hangs heavy over the
city, the smell settles down and ii is
easy to locate the neighbOrhood. To
find the exact building, however, It is
to climb over roofs and sniff
the chimneys. The moonshiners keep
a close watch of the wen men and
as soon as they see that their neighbor-
hood Is being watched they suspend
operations. They are always ready to
make a quick get away" and even If
their location is discovered the revenue
men rarely get more thar their para
phernalia and some of the whisky.
