AUGUST CUSTOMS
OFF 100000
Loss in Revenues Over
Last Year Due to War
and Tariff.

A decrease of more than $1,000 900 in
the duties collected in the New York
district for the month of August, as
compared with the same month last
year, is shown in figures now available
at the Custom House. While the war
has cut heavily into the revenues, the
ne" tariff also has had much to do with
the reduction.
The effect of the war is shown clear
ly, however, in comparison of the
revenues of July and August of this
year, the decrease in August having
been approximately 100000 The
severe cut is shown in tangible form by
comparison of the Withdrawals from
warehouses. The duties collected from
this source in July were S4,516,630. In
August they jumped to SCOTT 29.
The New York district includes the
custom houses at Albany, Newark and
Perth Amboy, and the following table
includes the receipts from all the Gus
tom houses in the district. The first
figures under each month show the
duties paid on goods imported and put
directly into consumption; the second
figures the duties on goods taken from
bonded warehouses:

FOOD INDICTMENTS
IN WASHINGTON
Four Corporations, Five Firms
and Ten Individuals Charged
with Violating Sherman Law.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington, Sept. 4.-Four corpora
tions, five firms and ten individuals
were indicted by the grand jury mere
to-day for violation Of the Sherman
law, it being charged that in violation
of that law they had combined to con-
troll the buying and selling Of food
stuffs in the District OF Columbia. All
of the defendants are commission mer-
chants.
Attorney General Gregory asserted
the determination of the Department
of Justice to urge on the court lmprlS-
onment as a penalty.
These are the first indictments re-
sulting from the investigation recently
begun at the direction Of the Depart
ment of Justice to determine II an IL
legal combination was responsible Tor
the high prices charged for the neceS-
saries of life.
At the Department of Justice it was
said government agents, working IN
many states for evidence of price fix
ing, were expected to make reports
soon which officials hoped would be the
basis Of other indictments. Attorney
General Gregory has this to say:
Under conditions now existing
throughout the world, capitalization Of
misfortune and oppression of our own
people by the arbitrary increase of the
prices of foodstufTs are so peculiarly
reprehensibe that when convictions
can be obtained the government will in
sist upon sentences of Imprisonment
no fine or no civil remedy will be
deemed adequate.
Omitted States attorneys are being
instructed promptly to ask for indict-
ments whenever the facts will permit,
to push these to early trial, and upon
convictions to insist upon prison SEN
fences"
Bench warrants were issued for all
the men indicted and bail was given
for their appearance in court.
