Government Enters Suit Against

Large Amount.

Declaration Alleges That Grain
Discrepancy Shows All
Tax Was Not Paid.

Financial embarrassment. following
the enactment of the prohibition law
in North Carolina, is said to have re-
suited In a suit filed by the govern
ment. in the United States District
Court yesterday morning. against the
Porter Distillery Company, OF Nor
folk county, and the United States FL
deity and Guaranty Company, OF Bal
timore. It's surety. Five counts are
included in the declaration, in which
the government claims to have been
swindled out of $14,s2s.Os. because the
distillers failed to make true and ac-
curate entries of the materials used,
and the quantity in pounds. bushels
and gallons, for the production Of
spirits.
The opening statement In the decla-
ration is that the Porter Distilery
Company gave bond on September 1,
1905. to carry on business In Eastern
North Carolina, with It's main office in
the Jurisdiction of the Eastern Dis
trict of Virginia. The allegation Is
that false returns were made. and that

manufacture of spirits--from Septem-
be 1. 1905, to April 1aos-2.44551S
pounds OF material was purchased, and
the use of only 2.o2s,6l7 pounds re-
ported.
How the Suit Originated.
OF this amount the Commissioners of
Revenue allows 4S,91O pounds for waste,
50,1S2 pounds accounted for. and 12o.-
COS pounds for feeding purposes. The
actual discrepancy alleged is 202.776
pounds. or 1881 bushels of grain. and
this the government shows was used
in making 1880 gallons of spirits.

to s15.26s.
In August. 1908. the Commissioners
of Revenue assessed this amount
against the distillery. and under a
warrant of distraint the premises were

NURSES OPPOSE
MILK LAW CHANGE
Adopt Resolutions Urging That
Throckrnorton Bill Be Killed
by Legislature.

In the closing session of its tenth
annual convention yesterday after
noon the Graduate Nurses Association
of Virginia unanimously adopted res
olutions identical with those of the
Richmond Academy of Medicine and
Surgery on Tuesday, opposing the milk
bill recently offered IN the General
Assembly by Delegate Throckmorton.
1t was the opinion of the nurses that
under the present regime. with inspec-
tions made by the city Board of Health,
conditions were as favorable as pos
sible. and they thought 1t would be a
step backward to put the inspection
in charge of a State officer. In their
resolution they highly commended the
quality of milk now being received,
and placed themselves on record as
heartily opposing any change.
Want Uniform Rates.
A committee consisting of Misses
Naomi Simmons. Margaret Watkins
and Elizabeth Webb was appointed to
look into the present rates charged
by nurses in different parts of the
