MILLIONS IN FINES
AFTER PROBE HERE
BY i. S. SLEUTHS
Violation of Law Requiring Re-
moval of Stamps on Barrels
Containing Spirits.
ONE FIRM, If GUILTY,
MUST PAY $3,OOO.OOO
Secret Service Men Have Been
Quietly Conducting lnvestiga-
ton in This District.

Following an investigation by secret
service men. e. Allen Smith, deputy
collector for the local internal revenue
district, today took the first step in
crusade against the practise of buying
and selling barrels on which the in
ternal revenue stamps and brands have
not Been destroyed by demanding an
explanation from one firm in this dis
triot which holds $1,000 such barrels.
This concern, together with Sst1ers,
several of them in Newark, face fines
ranging from $1,000 to $9,000,000. The
latter amount is the penalty which the
largest offender will have to pay If yhe
government decides to exact the full
amount of the penalty, 5000. for every
barrel on which the stamp is not des-
troyed.
The section which has been found
violated is section 1896 of the revised
statutes. This Aection provides that
anyone who knowingly purchases or
sells any cask or package used for con-
tanning distilled liquors without des-
troying the marks. brands or stamps
thereon is liable to a fine of 5000 for
every container so sold or purchased.
from whom the majority of the barrels
are bought, liable to the fine. The
marks and brandings required to be
destroyed and oblterated are the in
ternal revenue stamps and also the
brands of the government gaugers.
Stif Campaign by Government.
"The government intends to make a
vigorous campaign against this prac-
tise, said Collector Smith today. For
some time secret service men have
been looking, around finding out few
things. / sent letter this morning
to a certain barrel concern in this dis
trict asking an explanation of the
way things are run in their plant.
Whether it will be decided to give
only warning to the concern, exact
a large fine or impose the full penalty
of SO, ,000, 900. which would put them out
of business, cannot now say We
are going to warn as many saloon
keepers as we can that they, too, are
liable to the fine"
The gaugers whose business it is to
test the proof of alcoholic spirits
wherever manufactured leave on the
barrel or cask containing the liquors
brand stating the place where the
liquor was distilled or refined, as the
case may be. and the proof of the
spirits, and also see that the revenue
paper tax stamp is affixed to the
barrel The breach of law committed
by the barrel dealers and saloon
keepers is in that they have not
scraped off the brand of the gaugers.
The large wholesale barrel concerns
have made 1t their practise to buy up
barrels from all over the State and to
resell them for different purposes.
They have been supplied with copies
Of the statutes by the internal revenue
Office and cannot, Therefore, the gov
ernment claims. put in a plea of ignor-
ance of the law.

DEMOCRATS GALL
CONVENTION WEEK ,
AHEAD OF G. 0. P.
Will Make Nominations Without
Waiting for Opposition
Party to Meet.
DELEGATES WILL MEET
AT TRENTON SEPT. Is.
Call Provides for Large DeIega-
tiOns from Hudson and Es- s
sex Counties.

For the first time since 1895 the
Democratic gubneratorial convention
will this year antedate the Republican
convention. The official call, which is
issued by Chairman James r. Nugeat
and the special committee of the State
committee charged with that duty at
the last meeting of the State body fixes
Thursday, September Is, as the con-
vention date.
Twelve o'clock noon in the Taylor
Opera House, Trenton, is the hour at
which the convention will be called TO
order, and six days later at the same
hour and in the same place the Repub-
lican gubernatorial convention will as
semble.
Heretofore the party in power, real
izing that it is always regarded as be-
ing on the defensive, has therefore been
first in the field with candidates and
platform. This year the Republicans
accepted the latest of two dates fur
nished, Tuesday, September 90 and
Wednesday, September II. not suppos-
ing that the Democrats would deter
mine on an earlier date.
The early call for the Democratic
convention is accepted as an indication
that the party seems confident of suc-
cess and is prepared to make an ag-
gressive campaign going even SO far
as outlining its platform so far in ad-
vance of the Republican convention
that the latter body can hardly refrain
from answering 1t.
There will be no fractional delegates
at the Democratic convention although
the law permits a county committee to
allot only fractional representation
where the total numbers of votes at the
last gubernatorial election In the dis
trict was less than 200.
Delegations VIII BE Large.
The Democratic call provides for at
least one delegate for each 200 votes
cast for the Democratic gubernatorial
candidate in 1907, and one for each
fraction over 100, with a further pro-
viso that each district shall have at
least one delegate
That will mean a total of 1896 dele
gates, counting additional delegates for
each of the forty-one districts where
more than 300 Democratic votes were
cast for governor in 1907. The total
number of districts aud delegates from
each county will be as follows:

for the last thirty-six years pastor OF
Calvary Presbyterian Church, is hurry
ing home on the Cunarder Lusitania
in a very weak condition after four
weeks illness In England. The Lus--
tania is scheduled to arrive in New

ceived ten days ago by his son, Clifford
Hopwood, with whom he, lives at 10
Murray street, stated simply that DR..
Hopwood was ill and would take an
early boat home If possible. letter
received last Thursday explained in
detail that DR.. Hopwood had suffered
a nervous breakdown. and had been
confined to the home of relatives with
whom he was staying in Bradbury.
his birthplace. Great apprehension is
felt for DR.. HopwoodN by the members
of his congregation and family, mas
much as he is close to 80 years old,
and never fully recovered from a sick
ness of four weeks last winter. His
Illness then was the first he had suf-
fered in his lifetime ans left him very

Hopwood stated last night. the family
will send inquiries via the Marconi

Condition II Grave.
The letter received by Mr. Hopwood
explained that while his father was in
a fine state of health after the ocean
voyage, the strain OF attending several
dinners given him on the other side
proved too much. A physician who
was called in found DIR. Hopwood's S
condition grave and advised him to
cancel his plans for travelling through
England and Scotland. Isaiah B. Hop
wood, his grandson and namesake, who
is student in the local High School,
lis DIR. Hopwood's travelling companion,
and it was largely that he might see
England and Scotland that DIR. Hop
wood contemplated the trip.

staying, is short distance from Liver
pool. DIR. Hopwood had planned to
book his passage on August 18, next
Saturday, after an extensive trip
through the lake country, Shakespeare's
country and Scotland.
DIR. Hopwood left this country on
June 25 last. This trip across the ocean
makes his third within the last five
years.
1t is hoped by those close to DIR. Hop
wood that the returning ocean voyage
will benefit DR.. -Iopwood and in a
measure restore him to his health DR..
Hopwood is fond of ocean travel. and
is a very good sailor. In all his trims
he has never once been sick.

CR|PPEN LAWYER
PREPARES WRIT
OF HABEAs CORPUS
Alleged Murderer Suspected of
Intending to Fight
ExtraditiOn.

QUEBEC, Aug. ga surprise came
in the case of DR.. Hawley II. Crippen,
accused of Staying his wife, Belle Ell
more. today, when. under cable instruc-
ton from Arthur Newton, the little
physicians London lawyer, a prominent
member of the Montreal bar, prepared
papers for a writ of habeas corpus in
behalf of the prisoner.
Crippen has stated all along that he
would not oppose extradition. In de-
fault of hearing today the law gives
the right to apply for the issuance of a
writ of habeas corpus.
Another amazing feature In connec-
ton with the preparation of the writ
is THAI DIR. Crippen has from the start
denied he would fight extradition and
wanted to be returned to London as
soon as possible He has. received sew
eral cablegrams in the last two or
three days from his London lawyer.
and it is possible that he has been in
duced to change his plans. Miss LIE
Neve has announced that she will be
guided by DIR. Crippen's action.
Crippen Attend. Mass.
DIR. Crippen was a devout and eager
participant in the mass celebrated In
the provincial penitentiary.
A notable change has come over the
prisoner. A week ago he was furtive
and nervous; now he is confident to the
point of serenity.
Among the seventy-five prisoners IN
the penitentiary none is more content
than the physician Is now. His evil
dent satisfaction with his present sur
roundings is shown by his steady Inn
provement in health. Even on the
scant penitentiary fare he is beginning
to grow fat.
Crippen was taken to mass by two
guards He was the last to enter the
little room, and when he found a seat
in one corner he escaped observation
for some time. When his presence was
discovered a stir ran through the
others. for this was their first glimpse
of their new neighbor.
Crippen was wholly Indifferent TO this
tribute to his importance. Throughout
the service he was most attentive and
paid especial heed to The sermon. Mon

RAPS MURPHY AND
STATE COMMITTEE
Would Remove Judge Who
Makes Political Con-
tributiOn.

Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen in
acknowledging the Somerset County
Republican Committee Endorsement of
his candidacy for Governor, takes issue
with the State Republican Committee
concerning the granting of reciprocal
rights to motorists from other States
ami clearly defines his own position on
that and other subjects.
After expressing his belief that the
Governor should exercise as great care
in the management of that office as
in his private business he cites at
length what he would favor If nomi-
mated and elected.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen would divorce the
judiciary and selection of grand and
petit juries entirely from politics and
make the political contribution on the
part of a judge cause for removal. He
would broaden the scope of the public
utilities law, limit the number of sa-
looms and encourage all local indus
tries
The Statement in Full.
Senator Frelinghuysen's statement in
full follows:
Somerset County Republican Execu-
tive Committee. Somerville, N. ].
Gentlemen: Your Committee in
forms me that 1 am your choice for
the Republican nomination for Gov
erncr. l am very grateful for your
trust and confidence and in compliance
with my promise will briefly state the
principles by which 1 would be guided
il nominated and elected.
1T is my earnest belief:
THAT the Governor should exercise
as much, il not more care in the ad-
ministra tion of the affairs OF the State
as he would in the conduct of his own
business.
THAT the affairs of the State should
be conducted in a business-like and
economical manner.
THAT the transactions of every De-
partment. State, County and Local,
should be checked and audited as care
fully as a prudent man would his
private business of similar magnitude
so as to deter, if possible, unscrupulous
men from engaging in the service of the
public.
THAT the laws should be strictly en-
forced to prevent individuals or corpo-
rations from resorting to improper
methods to further their selfish ends.
'sThat the industries of the State
should be encouraged and its govern
ment should be such that 1t will be
viewed with confidence.
THAT corruption or unfair conduct
on the part of any public official
should be exposed and all guilty
parties punished.
'.That judicial appointments should

Necessary to a choice, 699.
Only eight counties have districts en-
titled to more than one delegate, ac-
cording to the official returns of 1907.
Passaic leads, with sixteen; Hudson,
ten; Middlesex, seven; Essex, five;
Mercer and Monmouth, two, and Ber-
gen and Union, one each.
In Essex and Hudson the increase in
the number of districts since 1907 ex-
ceeds the number of districts entitled
according to the returns to more than
one district, but In Passaic, where six
teen districts are entitled to two dele
gates each, -the number of districts
added was only five., Otherwise the ap-
portionment might be made solely on
the basis of districts in each county,
as will be done in counties where no
districts were entitled to more than one
delegate according to the vote of 1907.

WOMAN CARRIES FoRCEPS
IN BODY FOUR YEARS

Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. 8.--To carry
around a pair Of five-inch surgeons
forceps piercing the intestines and
causing her intense pain for four years
was the hard experience of Mrs. +. p.
Kinkler. Of Bryant, S. d., who now lies
at the Sioux Falls hospital in a criti-
cal condition after an operation and
the removal of the troublesome surgical
instrument from the abdominal cavity.
About four years ago Mrs. Kinlkler,
who Is the wife Of a physician of Bry-
ant, was taken to one OF the great
eastern hospitals for an operation
which necessitated opening the alb
dominal cavity. Since that time she
has suffered a great deal OF pain and
been an invalid much of the time.
About a week ago Mrs. Kinkler was
brought to the Sioux Falls hospital
and after an examination, 1t was
concluded that an abdominal opera
ton was necessary. A serious condi-
ton was disclosed and the startling
discovery made that a pair OF sur
geon's forceps. five inches long, had
worked through a small intestine;
that the points of the instrument had
penetrated the large intestine and
from there into the bone at the base
Of the spinal column known as the
sacrum. 1t was necessary for the sur
geon to remove six inches of the small
intestine and sew up holes In the large
intestine.
