DEFENDS SETTLEMENT
OF OLEO PROSECUTIONS
Macveagh Declares That No
Intentional Fraud Ever
Existed.

CHICAGO. March 1O.-Franklin Mac
Veagh, former Secretary Of the Treasury.
has issued a statement In which he de-
tends his ruling in the oleomargarine
prosecutions, which resulted in the gov
ernment's acceptance Of $4,000 in set
Element OF alleged frauds. through which
the government. II 10 claimed. was de-
frauded of $4,000.
Mr.. MacVeagh asserts that no fnten-
tional fraud existed in the cases and that
the settlement was on recommendation of
the bureau of internal revenue.
LAS the oleomargarine compromise
cases have been more or less misunder-
Stood" his statement says, II am quite
willing to state the facts:

was charged by the government. No
fraud was committed and no fraud there
fore was compromised. There are oleo-
margarine cases and oleomargarine cases.
Those of which the public has heard
most are fraud cases-cases in which the
oleomargarine law was fraudulently
evaded. The cases in question, however,
are not in that category.
THE outline story Of these cases Is
this:
.sThe manufacture of two kinds of oleo-
margarine is permitted by law. One kind
may be artifcially colored as butter and
cheese may. This kind must pay a tax
of 10 cents a pound. The other and usual
kind is taxed at quarter of a cent a
pound and must not be artificially colored.
1T happens that cottonseed oil is one
Of the chief ingredients of oleomargarine.
and also that this oil In its crdue state
is colored
Now, an Ohio chemist claims to have
invented q method that solves the prob
lem. an an oil company in Louisville
not an oleomargarine company-used this
invention and in 1911 produced oil with
some color that was claimed to be natu-
raj. This OIL was offered to oleomar-
garine manufacturers.
Oil Given Several Tests.
oil to the attention OF the bureau Of in
ternal revenue. The oil then was tested
throughout many weeks by the chemical
laboratory of the bureau, by the labo-
ratories of the oleomargarine Inanufac-
turers and by private Laboratories. 1t
also was tested for sulphur continuous
" by the bureau OF animal industry. No
one could find any artificial color.
Finally the manufacturers OF oleo-
margarine connected with these cases
became apparently SO certain OF the le-
gality of this oil that they began to use
Ii with the knowledge OF the bureau of
internal revenue, but without the bu-
reau's Anal decision.
Coloring Determined.
THE bureau meant still to keep its
mind open. but was at the end Of its re-
sources at the time. The oil had thus
been openly used in larger or smaller
quantities for some months when the
bureau by new chemical inquiries became
satisfied that the oil, after all, was arti-
ficially colored by sulphur. When this
was announced all manufacturers OF
quit using the oil.
ct must be understood that manu-
facturers OF oleomargarine were not
manufacturers Of the oil. They were
merely purchasers of 1t and knew moth

SERVANT FLEES
BURNING ATTIC
JUST IN time.
Domestic in Judge Kane'S House
Has Narrow Escape From
Death
Roof of Dwelling Destroyed
With Heavy Damage at
Early Morning Fire

Fire early this morning destroyed
the attic floor of the dwelling house,
owned and occupied by Judge Patrick
Kane, at 1172 Park avenue. Miss
Helen Charles, domestic, who was
sleeping in attic room was aroused
by the smoke and escaped injury only
by a hurried flight from her apart
ments.
Mrs. Kane was aroused when Miss
CharleS fell from her bed after being
walked by the sitting smoke. A mo-
ment later the servant rushed down
stairs and apprised the family of the
and when he saw the extent of the
blaze Immediately summoned assist
ance. He shouted Fire from a win
dow and reused many neighbors, and
Mrs. Kane telephoned for Chemical
No. L. Mrs. Kane said today that CEN
tral operator established the connec-
ton with the engine house immedi-
ately and there was no delay in sound
ing the alarm. On arriving near the
scene of the fire, Chemical L dropped
from Box 27, at Wood and Park ave-
nues.
The bell alarm brought several en-
g1pe companies and in a few minutes
three streams were playing on the
blaze The whole roof was in flames
when the first company arrived and
flames leaped high in the air. BY
quick and efficient work, the firemen
were able to cOnfine the blaze to the
upper story.
The second floor of the house was
unoccupied and Judge Kane and his
family lived on the first floor. The
lower floors were damaged slightly by
water. The roof of the house was
destroyed, and Judge Kane today
sought other apartments while repairs
are being made. The damage may
amount to $500.
Judge Kane today could give no
probable cause of the fire. The blaze
started in the open attic, far from the
chimney. He says there was no in
fammable material loose in the attic
as that part of the house had been
thoroughly cleaned a day or two ago
Chief Mooney is investigating the FIRE
today.
Miss Charles, the domestic whose
escape from death is regarded as little
short of n1iracuIous, was suffering no
i'll effects from her experience today.
When aroused by the smoke, she fell
IN getting from her bed, and this noise
woke Mrs. Kane. The servant girl
had to rush through overpowering
smoke and flames in order to gain the.
stairway and make her escape.
IS Mrs. Kane today wished to correct
a newspaper report. that the central
telephone exchange had delayed in an
sWering her call for aid from the fire
department. |"I never saw such
quick response, even in the daytime"
said Mrs. Kane.

INSANE man
STABS WIFE
WITH SHEARS
Woman Tries to Conceal His
Deed, Though Perhaps
Mortally Wounded
Turned On Her When She
Tried to Prevent His
Suicide

In what is thought to have been q
fit of insanity, Pasquale Illiano, 256
Lexington avenue, last night stabbed
his wife with a pair of shears, prob
ably inflicting mortal wounds. While
his victim is reported as dying at ST.
Vincents hospital the probable muir
derer has so far escaped detection at
the hands of the police who are
searching every known spot in Bridge
port where he may be hiding. 1t is
the belief of the officials that he has
probably committed suicide and that
his body will yet be found in some
secluded spot.
IIIiano has been in poor health for
some time past and was thought to
be suffering with mental delusions
that, his life was in danger from pois-
on. He had previously visited police
headquarters with a bottle of medicine
which he wished analyzed to ascer-
tain if such was the case
Shortly after ten O'clock last night
Mrs I1lianoi ran screaming from the
house and told a neighbor that her
husband had cut her in the arm.
Thomas Brennan, a local druggist was
called to attend her As he was dress
ing the arm Mrs. Illiano told him that
she had cut herself with a pair OF
Brennan finding it necessary to return
to the store for more bandages, left
the house and upon his return met
Ilnano who was dressed coming from
the hand and asked him to do what
he could for his wife, and continued
down the street.
Upon reaching the upper room Mrs.
Illianc was com planning of great pain
and finally admitted that her husband
had stabbed her several times in the
stomach with a pair of shears. A
hasty glance showed Brennan that she
was severely wounded and he ran to
the telephone where he gave the alarm
to the police and called the ambulance.
She was rushed to the hospital where
it was found she had three punctures
of the abdomen. with two wounds on
the right arm.
A general alarm was sent out upon
the street lights and every available
detective was notified. They worked
a1lzdEring the night but no trace has
laeensseen of IlIiano sinceshe shook
Brennan by the hand and disappeared.
Mrs. IIliano later comnu nunicated the
fact that her husband had attempted
suicide, last night, and it was her in
terference which caused him to turn
upon her. It is thought that he has
since accomplished his design.
Mr.. and Mrs Il1iano have been in
Bridgeport about seven years where
he has practiced his trade as a. tailor.
The missing man is well known to al
most every policeman on the force
There are seven children in the family,
all boys. None were present at the
time of the stabbing or a greater
fatality might have resulted.

DR.. MORTON SAYS
WOMEN HAPPIEST
AT SIXTY YEARS

New York, Jan 25.-women who
dread the approach of old, age may
take heart, and cheer, today. from DR..
Rosal1e S. Morton, who gave a gath
ering of advanced women at the
School of Mothercraft, last night; som e
new thoughts about -grandmOtherhood
and mellow maturity.
Women of today are happiest when
they are CO., said the speaker. The
time has passed when we think wo-
mans life has ended at 35 and there
is nothing more for her but to sit at
the fire and dream. The older we
grow the stronger we are mentally
and physically and the woman of to-
day is happy because she has strength
and wisdom to use for public service.
She is happier by far than she was in
the years of her youth
DIR. Morton explained further that
the elderly woman of today no longer
has to sit about the chimney corner
being bossed by daughters-in-law. She
has suffrage to interest her and to
work for, clubs and trips to Europe
and cunning grandchildren to play
with. In fact, she is just beginning to
enjoy life when she reaches SO and
at so should be a walking smile.
