MAN
IS ARRESTED
Thomas D. Wilson Accused of
Dodging Taxes in Sale
Of Oleomargerine.
is HELD FOR COURT
Officers Sieze Several Full
Tubs, Which Wilson Says
He Colored.


Accused OF lodging federal taxes
on many thousands OF pounds Of col.
ored oleomargarine. Thomas d. viii
son, proprietor Of the Chicago Dairy
on South Fourth street. was arrested
Thuraday morning by ]. S. Porter, Of
Baltimore, a specia, agent of the Uni
ted States internal revenue depart
ment. and was held by A. c. Moore,
federal commissioner, for the term OF
federal district court that meets jan
uary 8 at Parkersburg. The defend
ant gave a cash bond of $1,000 for
his appearance in the court at that
time and was released.
Mr.. Porter came to clarksbu-g
several days ago to work on the case.
Thursday morning he completed his
Investigations and assisted by E. d.
Hupp, federal deputy marshal and
Blaine Kearns, city policeman. he ar
rested Wilson at his place OF business
and seized thirteen sixty-pound tubs
of oleomargarine. which the revenue
agent declares Mr.. Wilson colored
himself for the purpose OF evading
the government tax Of ten cents a
pound
When examined by the federal com
missioner, Mr. Wilson admitted that
he had colored six or seven tubs Of
white oleomargarine the two or three
nights preceding his arrest. He also
admitted having colored other tubs
OF the white product.
The charge as presented by Mr.
Porter before the commissioner was
that Mr.. Wilson had been purchasing
white oleomargarine from Chicago
and other points in quantities rang
ing from 1000 to 5000 pounds a
month, and had been coloring it with
coloring matter purchased in Mass
achusetts and then selling it without
paying the tax of ten cents pound
as required by the federal govern
ment on the colored product. The
white oleomargarine was bought at
about fourteen cents pound, Mr..
Porter stated, and the coloring mat
ter at $2.25 gallon. Only two tab
lespoonsful were required to color
sixty-pound tub of the product. Mr.
Wilson stated to the commissioner
that this was about the quantity that
he bad used. The colored producs
was then sold from IS to 80 cents
pound. On the white oleomargarine
the government requires license tax
of only one-quarter of a cent a pound.
Mr. Wilson stated that this tax
of.a quarter of cent a pound on the
white produc, had been paid by the
manufacturers from whom he pur-
chased it. He also stated that ne
had paid a federal tax of S4S year
for carrying on the business of a re-
tail dealer in oleomargarine.
These tax payments, however, did
not cover the tax for carrying on the
business of a manufacturer of col
ored oleomargarlne. amounting to
$500 year, according to Mr.. Porter,
and this is the specific ofTense on
which he prosecuted Mt. Wilson
Then, In addition. the tax of ten cents
a pound as required on all the col
ored product had not been paid. In
round figures, Mr.. Porter said the
Chicago dairy had defrauded the gov
eminent OF more than $4,000 in license
fees and taxes during the two years
he has been IN business in Clarks-
burg as figured en- the basis of op-
erat!ons disclosed by the seizure and
arrest.

PIPE DREAM
Is An Article Sent Out from
Washington to the Fair

The Washington end of the Demo-
cratic state machine is having more
pipe dreams as shown by an article
from Washington in the Fairmout
Times Thursday merning, to the effect
that President TafE has been warned
by State Chairmaa Virgil L. High
land and former State Chairman
Matthews that he is likely to lose the
vote of West Virginia in the national
convention next year unless the del
egates from the state are instructed
next year.
When Chairman Highlands atten-
ton was. called TO- the dispatch, he
said. os -ftau
4 have not seen President Taft
since he visited Clarksburg several
months agoa l have hnd no cores
pondence with him or with any one

There is on more truth in the dis
patch than in many other articles
sent out from Washington to the
Democratic state press. have never
discussed the question Of delegates to
the national convention with any one.
The Washington dispatch in the
Fairmont Times is simply a pipe
dream"

REJECTION OF LaFOLLETTE
WIDENS BREACH IN SENATE
Bristow Says Wisconsin Man 10 Best
Equipped Man For Place Denied
Him by Regulars.


WASHINGTON. April 29.-The re-
fusal OF the senate regular Repubf'
can leaders to permit LaFollette,
progressive OF Wisconsin to serve on
the committee OF interstate commerce
has opened a breach in the Republi-
can ranks OF the senate. which today
threatens serious results. The pro-
gressives charged that LaFollette was
shut out because he knew too much
about the railroads." and In support
of this contention. Senator Bristow,
(Repn., Kas.). today wrote the follow
ing for the United Press:
BY JOHN L. BRlSTOW:
Il regard Senator LaFollette as the
best equipped man In the senate for
position on the committee on inter.
state commerce. All legislation relat.
ing to the regulation OF public SER
vice corporations. the fixing OF rates,
the correcting of Determinations and
the preventing of over-capitalization
comes before that committee.
LaFollette has probably given more
attention to these subjects than any
other man in congress. The principa
work of his life for the past sixteer
years has been along these lines. Ar
examination OF the laws of Wiscon
sin on these subjects will demon
strate that his work has been mos
effective. That state, without ques
ton, has the best laws governing pub
lie service corporations OF any stat,
in the union.
Since the public service commits
sion was established. II has fixed tn,
rates, given the transportation com
panies fair remuneration for the ser
vices rendered. and protecting tn,
people from extortion.
