Receivers Are Appointed for
Two Lake County
Oil Firms.

Appointment of receivers for two
Lake county oil companies means
stemming the flood of bootleg"
gasoline and will bring the state ap-
rroximately $125,000 in back taxes
and fines, State Auditor Archie
Robbitt announced today upon his
return from Gary.
Bohbitt took action against the
companies following an Indianapolis
Times expose of how Hoosierdom
was being flooded with tax free
gasoline.
After Investigations in Lake coun-
ty and Chicago by Leland K. Fish
back, state gasoline tax collector in
Bobbitt's Office, and Earl Stroup,
deputy attorney general, Bobbitt in
stituted the receivership actions in
Lake superior court at Gary.
Bore DistiIIate Label
He charged the Knickerbocker Re-
filming Company at Hammond with
beating the Indiana gasoline tax
law to the extent of shipping 234
tank cars, bearing the label "distil-
late" and containing 1,872,000 gal
Ions of low grade gasoline. The re-
finery was said to mix casing head
gasoline with distillate and to sell
the product to cut-rate gasoline fill
ing stations without paying any tax.
The receivership action asks dam
ages and back taxes to the state to-
falling 100000.
Frank Greenwald Of Gary was ap-
pointed receiver and will sell the en-
tire plant Bobbitt said. In the in
term, Boobitt has obtained an in
junction forbidding the company or
any officers of the company to en-
gage in the manufacture or sale of
gasoline.
Chicago Men Involved
George w. Bowen of Calumet City
is president of the Knickerbocker
company and Poole Harrison of
Chicago is secretary and treasurer.
Bobbitt attributes much of the flood
of tax free gasoline to Harrison and
partner, j. F. Conner of Chicago.
They are officers Of the Reliable
Oil Company Of Illinois, whose
operations through the Dunes Oil
Company at South Bend first
brought to light the bootleg gas"
business.
President Louis H. Joers of the
Dunes company paid $4,000 in back
tax and fines and was permitted
to continue operation of the South
Bend stations. Several other cut
rate stations he turned over to
Joseph Fate and Malcomb Clark
of Crown Point.
Son of FifieId's Aid
Fate is the son of Clarence Fate,
investigator for the state securities
commission in the Office of Secre-
tary of State Otto c. Fifield. Fate
and Clark int<1d to keep selling
the cut-rate gasoline, but pay the
tax, Clarence Fate explained. The
stations were located in Lake and
La Porte counties.
Closing of the refinery has cut
off the low grade gas supply, it was
said today.
The second receivership launched
by Bobbitt was another distribute
ing company for the refinery oper-
ating several Lake county stations.
1t is the Riverside Oil Company and
the court appointed James Mozart
ney of Crown Point receiver.
