LOSE ALL BUT TWO
ALCOHOL PERMITS
FIeischmann Co. AbsoIved of
knowledge of Diversion to
Illegal Purposes.

Industrial alcohol permits OF the
Fleischmann Company, Inc, of New
FORK for its plants at Langd6n. D. c..
and Peekskill, n. T.. will stand, while
those at eight other agencies of the
company are revoked. Internal Revenue
Commissioner Blair ruled last night in
deciding an appeal from the order of
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes can
ceiling all such permits Of the Fleisch-
mann Company.
The agencies where permits were re-
Philadelphia, Scranton. Yonkers, Brook
lyn, Jersey City. Cincinnati. Bridgeport.
Conn.,, and Cambridge, Mass.
Absolved Of Guilt.
Mr.. Blair absolved the Fleischmann
Company Of guilty knowledge Of di-
version Of alcohol to illegal purposes.
but pointed out that the agency method
of distribution was In violation Of Treas
ury regulations This method, however.
Mr.. Blair added. was adopted in good
faith, and according to the ,uncontra-
dicted testimony of witnesses with the
full knowledge and consent Of certain
officials of the prohibition unit who have
since resigned or been transferred from
that unit He did not disclose their
names. r
Mr.. Blair held that the agencies at
Philadelphia. Brooklyn and Bridge
port diverted to unlawful purposes
alcohol produced by the company
and, together with the Jersey City
agency. had released alcohol on forged
permits. a. -
Acted in Good Faith.
Although there had been q violation
Of the Treasury regulations, the Com
missioner ruled, the company had
acted in good faith. The ruling
enables the company to continue
operations at it's two plants, but al
cohol in the hands of agencies must
be returned to the plants within
thirty days or be subject to forfeiture.
New regulations. however, were be-
ing issued, Mr.. Blair. added, and these
would make it possible for the
agencies to obtain permits for the
sale of alcohol. The new regula-
tions make the manufacturer respon-
sible for his agent complying with
the law and cause title to the alcohol
to remain with the manufacturer un-
til the alcohol is sold under permit.
The revocation order OF Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes from
which the yeast company appealed
was issued Friday after hearings in
Philad elphia on charges including
the diversion Of alcohol to beverage
purposes and the disposal of nom
beverage alcohol on forged permits.

MRS. HARRIET CHALMERS ADAMS.
Gen. Rondon. companion of Roose-
welt and DIR. Eahm on their South
American expedition. is the Stanley
of Brazil. according to Mrs. Harriet
Chalmers Adams. who lectured last
evening before members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society at the New
Masonic Temple.
Motion pictures shown for the flrst
time in the United States disclosed
much OF the constructive work this
eXplorer-engineer has done with In
dians of Brazil Mrs. Adams related
how Rondon had won the friendship
of the Indians through q policy OF
kindness and non-retaliation, had set
them to work under conditions which
would make for their advance and
had interfered little with their native
customs, habits and clothing.
Becening Economic Asset.
The Brazilian government. the
speaker said, co-operated in this pol
icy. which has resulted in = steady
increase of the Indian population. in
stead of their gradual extermination,
and in their gradually becoming an
economic asset. One of her reels de-
pfcted the rubber industry. from the
tapping Of the trees to the smoking
of the rubber in huge balls. and the
floating of these balls down the river
in 'rafts to points where steamships
carry them along the long inland
voyage to the seaboard.
Mrs. Adams talk dealt with Ron
donia, named for Gen. Rondon, which
is an area Is per cent larger than
California, in the midst of Matto
Crosse. a region eleven times as large
as the state of New York. The re-
moteness of the rubber forests from
civilization can be judged from the
fact that twenty-five pounds of food
and other supplies have to be taken
into the country for every pound of
the rubber that goes out.
sand Of Waterfalls.
The itinerary of Mrs. Adams lecture
and pictures included the Terenos In
dians. civilized cattlemen. who were
caught by the camera in a 5aguar
hunt. These cats of the jungle kill
young calves near the cattle ranches.
Southern Brazil, she said, is land of
waterfalls. Utiarity falls. for ex-
ample. are nearly 100 feet higher than
Niagara and 292 feet wide.
The Parcels Indians are those whom
Col. Roosevelt found SO interesting.
They are semi-civilized. cultivate the
field. and live on a plateau from 1000
to 5000 feet above sea level. The
Nhambiquaras are wild. naked In
dians, whose PAIN lear nuts are scat
tered through the forests. When Gen.
Rondon wished to string telegraph
line through the jungle he built shelf
ers along the line of the telegraph
poles and left gifts for the Indians.
After a time they took these gifts
away and left gifts of their own
bows, arrows, wild honey and neck
laces of animal teeth.
The Nyoac, in which Col. Roosevelt
and his party navigated the Paraguay
river in 1913, is still in service. 1t
was shown by the pictures. which
also disclosed the palm forests on the
shores, myriad waterfowl, alligators
and forest explorations by parties on
horseback.

occurred last Sunday morning. De
Hart unlocked a drawer of his desk.
containing the money, and got his
revolver. Lacenberry was present at
the time. tuesday De Hart missed
the $50. Shortly after he heard the
Taller say that Lacenberry was the
only one present when he unlocked
the drawer Sunday morning, the
trusty disappeared. De Hart gives it
as his opinion that the trusty got the
money.
