27,OO0,OOO FRAUD
INOLEO TAXES is
UNCOVERED
Dishonest Competition With the
Dairy Interest
OLEO WAS SOLD FOR BUTTER
Several Dealers Have Been Convict
cd and Have Been Given Jail
Sentences.

Washington, June 20-The Treas
ury Department, following months of
work in cooperation with the Depart
ment of Justice. today announced
that in the thirteen years since a tax
was imposed on oleomargarine the
Government had been defrauded out
OF about $27.oO0,0OO in stamp and
special taxes.
1t is estimated, that since 1902
more than 200,00GOO0 pounds of col
ored oleomargarine has been sold as
uncolored oleomargarine or butter,
with loss of taxes to the govern
ment of 81 cents pound in the
first case and 10 cents a pound in the
second, 1t is beliyed that most OF
this oleomargarine, which is more
than twice the average yearly cor.
sumption of both colored and uncoiC.'
cd oeomargarine since the tax be-
came effective. reached the ultimate
consumers of butter.
The Treasury Department believes
that since 1902 about 1885, 900 000
pounds of oleomargarine was sold to
dealers as uncolored oleomargarine,
thus avoiding most OF the tax, and
that the dealers sold It to the public
as butter The remaining 15.O00,000
pounds was manufactured by butter
makers and was sold without the
payment of any tax and was sold
directly as butter Commissioner
Osborn of the Internal Revenue has
been working on the frauds under
the direction of Secretary McAdoo,
who today made public summary OF
the Commissioners report.
The commissioner has already re-
covered and deposited in the treas
ury SS51,0OO, with the prospect of
further very large collections. Forty
two violators have been convicted
since Jan. /, 1915, twenty-nine of
whom have been sentenced terms in
prison ranging from thirty days to
three and half years. Total fines
of $14S,000 have been imposed. These
fines are exclusive of the recoveries
already mentioned Ten others of
the more fragrant violators OF the
law are under Indictment and await
ing trial. In addition there are small
Ter criminal cases pending in the
courts.

London, June 21--After seven
weeks battering across Galicia, dur
ing which the Russians have been
thrown back more than $50 miles.
the Austro-Germans are today as
close to Lemberg as were the Ger
mans to Paris after the first dash
across France last Fall
An official bulletin issued in Vienna
last night announced that the Rus
slams had been in general retreat
since 3 o'clock yesterday morning
along their entire front after having
been forced out of their position on
the Wereszyca River, short dis
tance to the west of Lemberg.
Never, perhaps, since before the
battle of the Marine, have the Teuton-
ic allies appeared so confident of sue
cess. Having failed in their original
plan of crushing France, they turned
to Russia, reversed the order OF
their strategy, and now, judging by
the expenditure of life and ammuni.
tion in Galicia, have pinned their
whole faith TO so paralyzing the Rus
sian army as to permit the throwing
Of a tremendous weight of men and
metal into the western theatre. there
either to break through, the FRANCO
British line or force an interminable
period OF sanguinary warfare.
A dispatch from copenhagen says
that the German Emperor himself
has taken supreme command of the
Galician campaign, establishing his
headquarters at Pless. in Southeast
ern Silesla, as near to the front as
practicable
Meanwhile the German official com
munication records the further prog
ress of the Austro-German forces
toward Lemberg. both TO the north
and south of the city 1t claims, as
well, that the Russians have been
cleared from parts of the Dniester to
the south.

LAST NIGHT OF CARNIVAL
Large Crowd Dispersed by SHARP
shower-company in North Adams

Large Crowd Dispersed by SHARP
shower-company in North Adams
BY far the largest crowd of the
week gathered at Morgan park satul
day evening Tor the opportunity to
take in the attractions of the LatliT
shows which had been in town for a
week under the auspices of the Ben
nington fire department
While the different shows did a
fairly good business early in the eve
ming the hard shower interfered with
the festivities and reduced the re
ceipts. Quite few persons return
ed to the grounds after the shower,
and the evenings business was all
that could have been expected under
the circumstances
The show company guaranteed the
Bennington fire department $3.50 for
its assistance and good auspices dur
ing the weeks entertainment or Is
per cent of the gross receipts. The
frement received their $3.50 which
was all paid Saturday evening. Busi
ness was not good enought to pay the
guarantee out of percentage. The
company is in North Adams this
week

MEXICAN CHE EFS
ALL AGREE TO
DISAGREE
Gen. Angeles Seeks Refuge Across
lean Border
HAS QuAURElFD WITH VILLA
Washington officials Hope Split
Among Generals viii Make
Opening for Settlement.

Washington, June 21-Gen Felipe
Angeles. artillery expert and right
hand man of Gen Francis
co Villa, has left his chief
and is now in the United
States ell route to Boston TO visit his
family Definite word to this effect
reached the United States govern
ment last night from its border
agents, who reported that Angeles
had crossed into American territory
secretly last Friday night.
Washington officials were unable
to throw much light on the reasons
| or tle departure of Angeles at a
time when his services to Villa in the
military campaign would seem to be
yitally needed. One explanation ad-
vanced was that Angeles was coming
to the United States to confer Y ith
the many prominent Mexicans who
have been living in exile, taking no
part in the revolutionary activity but
who lately have been planning TO
form a coalition with some of the
forces in the field to enable mem to
get the active moral support" which
President Wilson announced in his
recent statement the United States
soon would give some group If the
warning factions could agree .mong
themselves.
Enrique c. Llorente, Washington
representative of the Villa-zapata
government said he had heard abso-
solutely nothing of the movement Of
Angeles. The Carranza agency gave
out a statement pointing out that
Angeles probably never would return
to Villas standard.
Many officials seem to take the
view also that Angeles had left Villa
because of personal differences
which began shortly after the battle
of Celaya, in which Villa lost the
first important contest of his military
career He was without the services
of Angeles then and rumors were cur
rent of personal disagreement
With Angeles's coming on the
heels of the split between Carranza
and his commander-in-chief, Gen OBJ
regon, some Washington officials
were encouraged to believe that out
of the tangle might come a new
alignment comprising the hest ele-
ments of the Carranza and Villa fac
tions, forming an, organization which
might if successful in dominating
the situation be accorded recognition
by the United States. The American
government is taking no hand in the
developments, watching closely the
changes in Mexican politics in the
hupe that they au sur an eventual re-
storation of peace.
