ABBOTT URGES REFORM.
Believes Indian Bureau Should Have
Board of Directors.

F. H. Abbott. acting commissioner of
Indian affairs, believes that his depart
ment is in need Of a board of directors
or board of curators, just as large
corporation or university is.
He believes this will give his bureau a
more efficient and businesslike admins
tration, and for this reason he appeared
before the board Of Indian commission
ers. holding its annual meeting here. and
presented his written recommendation for
this innovation.
Mr.. Abbott outlined the need for in
creasing the functions of the board of In
dian commissioners. At the same time
he presented a recommendation to Sec
rotary of the Interior Fisher for am in
crease in the annual appropriation from
$4,000 to $4,000. thus to permit the ac-
complishment of greater amount Of
supervisory work by the board.
Mr.. Abbott also discussed the recent
criticisms that had been made regard
ing the inefficiency Of the clerical force
Of his bureau. He showed that the bu-
reau Is not an old one and that while 1t
is far from perfect it is more nearly up
to date in its work than many Of the
other government departments.

DISTRICT JUDGES ACTION
IN WHISKY CASE SCORED
Commissioner CabeII, in Re-
port, Discusses Alleged
North Carolina Frauds.

A report by Royal E. Cabell, commits
sioner of internal revenue. to Secretary
MacVeagh. teeming with caustic crit
icism of alleged whisky frauds in North
Carolina and of the course Of the federal
court, presided over by District Judge
Boyd of Greensboro. n. c., in dealing
with the conditions. has been made pub
lie by the House committee on expendi-
lures in the Treasury Department. which
has undertaken an investigation of the
situation.
MIR. Cabell describes the conditions in
the case, directed against D. c. Foster
a distiller of Williams, n. c., and N
Glenn Williams. the alleged purchaser of
the whisky in question. as "a history
of frauds against the government" en-
bracing ''debauchery of employees. bribery
of revenue officers and successful theft. >:
The commissioner declares that Judge
Boyd has issued total of three injunc-
tons to restrain the government from
Selling and selling the whisky for taxes.
He points out his authority to act under
the revenue laws.
Began With Seizure.
The case began with the seizure in 1905
of the rectifying house known as "Old
Winston-S Salem. The seizure was made
on what the revenue officers charge were
frauds discovered in a two-year investi-
cation that resulted in the Indictment of
n. Glenn Williams, D. E. Kennedy, D.
G. Foster and others. Their company
was found guilty and Williams and Ken
nedy acquitted. The commissioner order
ed the distillers to give a new bond and
| later, because Of the. alleged frauds.
ordered the whisky seized and sold for
taxes. In three moves in this direction
he was enjoined by Judge Boyd. The last
effort Of the commissioner contemplated
the transfer of the whisky to a general
bonded warehouse at Louisville. The
issue is pending in the courts.
Mr.. Cabell asserted that the official re-
ports appeared to demonstrate that the
''Old Nick distiIlery company had dis
posed of it's property so that there were
no longer any assets from which to col
lect a judgment and said that evidence
indicated that during one period the
frauds ran from $3.50 to $500 day.

old Roughleg never went hungry for very

But this morning he had made up his
mind for a particularly good breakfast.
He would have rabbit-Peter Rabbit. For
days and days he had watched Peter

Peter often roamed abroad at night and
that usually he came back to the old
brier patch before daylight. But this
morning Peter was not yet back. Old

eyes had looked through and through the
of the places where he usually sat. So
old Roughleg chuckled to himself and
snapped his cruel hooked beak which is

he grew and the harder It was to be

So he spread his broad wings and sailed
out over the meadows. right over that
little mound Of white, at which he looked
sharply as he passed. and finally way out
OF sight beyond the Green Forest. No
sooner was he out Of sight than the queer
little white mound came to life and

CORN Strip" BATTLE
IN SUPREME COURT
Proper Labelling of Glucose
Product Demanded by State
of Wisconsin.

The fight before federal and state pure
food officials over the right Of the Corn
Products Company of 26 Broadway, New
York, to label one Of its products as a
tcorn strip rather than glucose" was
renewed today before the Supreme Court.
The point in issue was the constitution
atty of the Wisconsin pure food law,
under which two grocers in that state
were fined for selling the company
corn. sirup'' not labeled in accordance
with the stateslaw
The state officials claimed that az the
product contained more than IS per cent
gliicose it SHOULD have been labeled
GLUCOSE favored with refiners' sirup.'
Attorneys on behalf of the grocers con-
tend that the state law is in conflict with
the federal pure food law and therefore
unconstitutional.
Ruling Of Secretaries.
Taley point to the fact that by virtue Of
the federal pure food law the three
secretaries" Secretary Wilson Of the
Agricultural Department., Secretary Cor
telyou of the Treasury Department and
Secretary Straus Of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. held the product
was not misbranded II labeled corn
strip with cane flavor.
In reply attorneys for the state argue
that the three secretaries had no author
ity to make such a ruling, and point TO
the fact that Dr. Wiley, and the food
and drug inspection board held otherwise.
In the brief, Secretary Wilson is criti-
cised for allowing the attorneys for the
Corn Products Company to obtain copies
Of briefs bearing on the case. while deny
ing the state officials that privilege I'M
