SMALL STILLS ALLOWED C heapest Denaturants Allowed and Distilleries of Ten Gallons Capac ity Possible Standard Does N'ot Control Materials. OREXSOXUN. NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 17 Representative Jones of Washington, in order to ascertain just what benefits "will accrue to farmers under the denatured alcohol law of last session, laid before Internal Revenue Commissioner Yerkes several clippings from Washington state newspapers criti- rising the law and holding it to be 'bene ficial only to the Standard Oil Company. In reply Mr. Yerkes sent a letter of ex planation to Mr. Jones and inclosed a more exhaustive letter on the same sub ject, which he had written in answer to complaints that came from Minneapolis. The two letters are self-explanatory. That, to Mr. Jones is as follows: WJH Pay Farmer to Distill. The Tiwwpappr clipping Is an aggregation of rror and mWtatment. TheT Is no reason, in lw of the law or tho regulation, why the larmor should, not build his distillery and rngage in tho production of alcohol for de naturing purposes. 3t Is simply a question of whether it wtll pay. That he must determine. 1 bHIeve ft will. The artftrle state that the production of al cohol by any but a large plant Is virtually imprwwlble. The law .of June 7, 1906, chanprd In no re Fpect what fiver the Internal revenue ttystem that ha bem. in force for 40 years controlling the product! on of . distilled Rpirfts. It takes that product, when completed 1n the form of alcohol and allows It to be withdrawn free of Governmental lax when there Is added to It material which destroys itn beverage qualities and Its use for liquid medicinal purposes. A lance plaitl Is not necessary. There are tod ay h u ndred s of d 1 st i 1 1 erl es tin ope rat ion 1 n the United States whose total cost, for the d I tl 1 lory 1 use If and th e ware house, does not exceed $500. Some cost less. Co-operative plants can be constructed today by the farmers, Just as they could hare been constructed for a half century. No Minimum Capacity. The article states that the plant mwt have a capacity of soo gallons of alcohol per day. Thin Is absolutely rror. A plant can be con structed that will iPmftucp ten gallons a day or 1O.O00 gallons a day. The question of out put Is a matter to be determined absolutely by the distiller. As to inspection and Governmental surveil lance of these plant?, this Is required and. la ebsolutely necessary to protest the Government against fraud. Alcohol when denatured pays a tax of about ?2 per wine gallon. Naturally the Government must exorcise the strictest su pervision to prevent the fraudulent with drawal of alcohol from the dlJttlllcry and Its beinj? placed upon the market without the payment of tax. As to Inspection by the Government of these plants and surveillance of them, that to a matter of no financial rmport to the dtstUlor. The Government pays the salary of the in spector, whether he remains at the distillery every hour that It -is in operation or whether "he visits It once a meek. So far as the denaturing agents are con cerned and their cost, every effort has been made to reduce that-o a -minimum. - In his letter on the Minneapolis com plaint Mr. Yerkes said: Minneapolis Man Ignorant. I 'thank you for calling my attention to an , interview in the Minneapolis paper you Inclose f In which the fcentlem&n giving the interview criticises everefly and severity In criticism Is often the result of absolute Ignorance the re cent- legislation of Congress with regard to ' lenatured alcohol and the regulations made by the Treasury Department in conformity with this law. Among other things he expresses surprise be cause the department requires alcohol th&t now pays a tax of about $2 per wine gallon to be denatured with anything, because that any thing must add to the cost of the article to tho consumer. The Congress in its law provided- that alco hol now bearing the internal revenue tax above stated could be withdrawn from a bonded warehouse free of this tax, provided H were mixed In the presence of and under the direo- tlon of an authorized Government officer, with methyl (wood alcohol or other denaturing ma terial or materials, destroying the character of the alcohol as a beverage and rendering it unnt for liquid- medicinal purposes. Therefore, the addition of some recognised cVnaturant is legally necessary. The gentleman interviewed complains bitterly that this department acoepted the denaturant now usd by Great Britain, namely, & certain percentage of wood alcohol and benzine. Must I'se Denaturant. That some denaturing material must be letted is plain from the law. When this office tan to consider the question. It naturally, properlj and sensibly made a study of the systems used abroad for the past half century. tireat Britain uses for completely denaturing purposes lO per cent of wood alcohol and ben zine; Germany, wood alcohol and a pyridin lta.se, say, bone olL The testimony of govern-r ment experts abroad is that wood alcohol is the bet denaturant that can be employed, and '.his for a variety of reasons. To it is added benzine or bone oil, something to Impart dietlnet and unpleasant odor to the denatured spirit". This department did not follow the Knglish formula absolutely, but decreased to Home extent the wood alcohol. The regulations were imed September 2J. Iater, by reason of the fact that the price of wood alcohol as offered for denaturing purposes we higher than this office had believed it would be, on December 10 a regulation was Issued, allowing the use, if denature pre fered it, of the German system, namely. 2 per cent of wood alcohol and a half of 1 per cent of a pyridin base. This regulation of De cember 10 was sent boadast throughout the country, yet your Interviewed gentleman on December 21 Insifns that this office allows only The use of the Hrlush formula. The people of the United States fiave the riht to use the German formula, which, ac cording to the statement In the Minneapolis paper. Consul Alason, or Paris, thinks Is the cheapest and best on earth. I regret that the gentleman who gave the Interview did known this. He could have known it if he . been as diligent in the search 'for Information as he was voluminous in the field of criticism. Whether or not any of these articles are con trolled by trusts, as the gentleman states. Is a matter for Investigation and determination by another department of the Government. No Change in Regulations. The new law did not change in any regard the mode con t rol ling; the production of ajco bol. A distillery furnishing alcohol for de naturing purposes must be constructed -Just as the law for 40 years has required It. Every effort has been made by this department to facilitate the use of the denatured article to place It in the hands of the consumer as cheaply as possible. I think the gentleman perhaps has been led to believe by use of the expression "free al cohol" that the Government would give It to him absolutely without cost and pipe It directly Into his plant. He says he 1s ready to build a plant. I hope he will construct it. There Is no reason why it would not be a profitable venture; and if he will take the trouble to study the laws and regulations, it Is possible then. In the full light of real Information, his foundations will be laid as soon as the frost Is out of the Minnesota earth. This interview reminds me of editorials I have seen In certain Minnesota papers. One of them a paper of a great metropolis of Min nesota stated that under, the regulations of this office no distillery could produce alcohol for denaturing purposes unless it had a daily average production of 5oO gallons. The simple truth b that there Is no lepaj or departmental restriction on the size of any distillery. Many are in operation that produce ten gallons a day. Change Regulations to halt. Another condition the gentlemen In the Northwest seem to have overlooked. They com plain because the law and . regulations were not made for the purpose of meeting the needs of small farm distilleries. The law was made to meet existing conditions. ' Whenever the farm distillery becomes a fact and there Is no reason under this law why it should not then a new regulation will be made to meet the new conditions arising by reason of the change in modes, methods and iii sees of nrnductlon. As a matter of fact, alcohol Is now produced at few distilleries, and those large ones. Whenever tne cnange iw the small distillery comes, the Government will arrange in every way possible to, facili tate and Increase their construction and operation. In another letter sent to Mr. Jones, in speaking of the charge that the Standard Oil Company would have a mnnnnnlv in the matter, Mr. Yerkes said the charge was without a Just basis. He said: Renzine will be produced by many other companies than the Standard Oil Company. The latter company does not produce pyridin base, there being only one plant in the United States now that does produce it, and that being in the State of New York. Probably at first some of It will be imported. There seems to be an u n f ou nded bel i ef on the part of som e gooa people that this Nation, even in its Govern mental operations, is absolutely under the con trol of the Standard Oil Company. For one, I do sot believe it. nor do I for a moment con cur In the thought that this Government can not protect itsolf by proper laws against the effort of the Standard Oil Company, or any other company, to unduly interfere with the operations of this denatured alcohol legisla The Commissioner further says that the French government has a standing offer of two prizes, one of 30,000 francs, the other 20,000 francs, to the chemist or individual who would furnish that government with a denaturing agent cheaper and better than the one now used.

COMMITTEE MAKES REPORT Finds Only 15 Out of 2050 Men Ac cepted GiKs They Should ?"ot Have Received Denies Fa voritism in Shipments. NEW YORK, Feb. 17. "A mistaken public opinion, misinformed as to the facts because of the publication of portions, and not the whole, of the testimony of the witnesses before the Interstate Commerce Commission, and therefore basing its conclusions upon insufficient premises, has done grave injustice to the whole service of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. That service is' of more than 60 years' growth; it is constituted n the main of educated, trained and self-respecting men, whose honorable lives have won the esteem of those who know them best; it has its traditions of loy alty and it has had in its successive officers examples of unselfish devotion to duty and steadfast adherence to the right." This, in brief,' is the report of the special committee appointed by the board of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company nearly a year ago to examine into the facts connected with the acquisition and ownership by officers and employes of the company, of stock or any other interest in any company, the holding of which could affect the performance of their duty or the company's duty to the public. The alleged acceptance of gratuities by employes of the company was also Inquired into by the committee. As a result of its examination of 2050 of ficers and employes, including every officer of the several companies whose individual action or whose order to any subordinate could effect any dis crimination, the committee reports it found that 266 employes are interested in coal or other corporations or firms or with Individuals. With the excep tion of 15, all of these had acquired their interest by purchase. The 15 admitted that they had received gifts of shares or interests in various cor porations, and their names have been reported to the presidents of the sev eral railroads for appropriate action. Alleged favoritism to certain ship pers of freight, mainly coal, is treat ed at considerable length by the com mittee, which sums up the results of its investigation of this subject witl the statement that "there is not and has not been on the part of the rail road any discrimination as between shippers in the facilities given for the exercise of that legal right." On charges of discrimination to fa vored shippers in the bituminous coal fields, the committee quotes the report of a company of expert accountants who made an investigation of the mat ter. The accountants' report declares that "the officers of the railroad com pany have fair operating or other rea- MACKAY HOLDS TROPHY Retains Title Amateur Tennis Cham pion of Eastern States.

RED FLAG IS UNFURLED Big Demonstration Against Further ' Detention of Moyer, Hejrvrood and Pettibone Held in Chicago. CHICAGO, Feb. 17. Several hundred anarchists, socialists and trade unionists paraded the streets here today, carrying red flags and banners, to mark the an niversary of the arrest and deportation from Colorado of Charles H.

The parade was followed by a mass meeting, where revolutionary speeches in English .and German were made in denunciation of capitalists. The decision of the Federal Court up holding the Idaho authorities in holding the accused men for- trial was declared to be a Becond Dred Scott decision and would, it was predicted, bring about simi lar results. Lucy Parsons, widow of one of the an archists hanged for participation in the1 Chicago Haymarket riot, attempted to harangue the audience, but her voice was drowned in the noise and shouting.'
