the railway re idjiis does not show that his conipany has violated the laws The regular fall term of the Federal Court of the Western district convenes next Tuesday morning at Lynchburg and come highly sensational developments are expected to follow as indictments ar considered certain It is generally believed that the continued presence in the neighborhood1 of the many high officials of the

distilleries which it is said has been defrauding the government out of internal revenue taxes by means double runs and certain other methods known to distillers who desire to evade the payment of the excise of J110 on every gallon of spirits produced The report states that fraudulent opera tlons have been going on there for aboul two years and it is estimated that the government has lost between 75000 and jluO000 during that period The capaclty of the plant is about 1200 barrels or between 50000 and 60000 gallons annually and if the revenue officers estimate is correct it would signify that for nearly every gallon on which the tax was paid a gallon was surreptitiously manufac tured Distillery Valued at 5000 The value of the distillery is placed at between 4000 and 5000 and when It was raided sixty barrels or nearly 300 gallons of spirits were afso seized Including the tax the whisky is worth about J45O0 Yesterday afternoon a representative of the distilling company called at the Revenue Bureau and offered to pay 7000 to compromise the case but Commissioner Capers declined to consider the proposition Should no compromise be effected It means that the plant and its product will be sold under forfeiture and the owners prosecuted criminally The Com mlssioners present disposition Is to let the case take its course The seizure at Dry Fork is the fifth or sixth that has been made in Virginia during the last month or two and it is expected others will be made in due course for the frauds as stated a few days ago have been very extensive Thus far the plants raided were of small
