CARROLL DIsT1LLERY CASE.
Denied That Arrests Of Revenue Of
ficers Are Contemplated.

That officers of the internal revenue
service In Baltimore are to be arrested
as the result of an investigation into the
affairs of the Carroll Spring Distillery at
Baltimore was fatty denied at the office
of the commissioner of internal revenue
yesterday.
Several suspensions were ordered, but
some of the officers suspended have been
restored. They were men who began
work after the investigation started sew
eral weeks ago.
AS they could not possibly have been re-
sponsible for any of the conditions which
caused the investigation, 1t was thought
unfair by the Commissioners to continue
their suspension. Other officers are still
under suspension, but 1t was intimated to-
day that nothing has been found to war
rant further action against them. Their
suspension will continue. however. until
the final report Is in. This is a procedure
customary In such cases.
The Carroll Spring distillery was seized
and six men were arrested Thursday on
a charge OF defrauding the government
by not paying the proper tax. Under the
direction OF the commissioner of internal
revenue. Phillips Lee Goldsborough, the
collector at Baltimore, and United States
Marshall Langhammer took action in the
matter. Both are now conducting thor
ough Investigations. assisted by agents
from Washington. The plant is in charge
of two watchmen appointed by Marshal
Langhammer. While no official estimate
is forthcoming, 1t is estimated that the
government has been defrauded out of
about $4,000.

Martin McNamara Sent to Jail for

Martin Mcnamara, truck-raiser, of

viction upon a charge of hitting Daniel
Van Kirk, a second truck-raiser. in the
head with q hammer yesterday afternoon
during an alteration over the owner
ship Of a quantity Of kale planted on
government land along Water street
extended southwest. The default Of the
fine was made ninety days in Jail and
the defendant was formally committed.
1t was stated the fine would be paid. how
ever.
The differences between the two men
have been In existence for a month or
more, Van Kirk having sold, so he states,
several Of his trucking rights to the other
man, but which did not include that of
the kale. The defendant asserted that
the sale did include the kaIe. and when
he discovered Van Kirk helping himself
to this vegetable yesterday afternoon he
proceeded to start a fight.
Van Kirk was so severely injured about
the head with the hammer that it was
necessary to take him to Providence
Hospital for medical treatment. Police
man Patterson Of the fourth precinct ar
rested Mcnamara upon the complaint Of
tho prosecuting witness.
