WAREHOUSE FRAUDS
MAY BE EXTENSIVE
Federal Whisky Smuggling In
yestigatiOn Covers Several
Storage Places

warehouse investigation Of the
widest scope has been Instituted by the
government following the discovery Of
for whisky in the Manufacturers
bonded warehouse in Sansome street
near Broadway. The inquiry has in
cluded not only this particular place Of
storage, but several others throughout
the city.
The Manufacturers bonded ware
house, where the frauds were discov-
cred, is owned by the Haslett company,
which was only recently involved in
scandal that all but caused its expul-
sion from the Merchants exchange. The
federal officials, supported by instruc-
tions from Washington, have under
taken to oNpress the inquiry until they
are able TO fasten the responsibility
finally.
WAREHOUSE CLOSED
Fred S. Stratton, collector of the port
has ordered the warehouse closed and
has placed a keeper in charge. The
discriminating evidence, in the form Of
the six barrels of water, has been
transferred to the custom house to be
held as evidence for the incoming
grand Jury.
tion is but one of a great number that
have been traced to this particular
warehouse. Case goods, held under
bond for shipment to Mexico and the
Philippines, are said to have been re-
moved and sold locally. In this way
the internal revenue tax of S1.10
gallon for 100 proof whisky has been
evaded-
The offenses thus committed would
be classed as smuggling.
When the evidence has been COM
piled 1t will be presented to the federal
grand jury. While it has not been
fully disclosed to which firms the
liquor illegally extracted belonged, II
is known that the Crown distilleries
company is among those affected.
WITNESSES TO BE CALLED
It is stated that among those who
Will be called upon to give evidence be-
fore the grand jury will be the off,
Gals of the Haslett warehouse COM
of the Haslett company; John A. Tall
deem, foreman for the Hasletts at the
Manufact cturers' bonded warehouse; Ru-
dolph Dannmeyer, superintendent of
the Crown distilleries company; Acton
Havens, foreman of the Crown distill-
cries company at the Manufacturers
bonded warehouse, and Daniel O'Con-
nor, government store keeper at the
warehouse. In addition to these there
will be summoned Special Agents L.
". Bean. John w. Smith, Claiming and
TidWell, who conducted the investiga-
tion.
Agents OF the internal revenue de-
partment have been detailed to check
up on warehouses Nos. 1 and 2, located
in Townsend street between Second
and Third. These are known as whisky
bonded warehouses The suSpicion has
become rooted that a system of
'skimming" has been developed by
which small amounts of liquor are
taken from several barrels and sold.
In order to learn exact conditions at
these warehouses every cask and barrel
will be tested and its contents meas
ured. This will require several weeks.
