MOONSHINE PLANTS SEIZED
^ But Illicit Liquor Makers Continue L
I f Their Operations.
Washington, Dec. 15.?"Moonshining"
and "boot legging" continues n<
without sign of abatement, declares ol
Royal E. Cabell, United States com- n<
missioner of internal revenue, in his L
% annual report, made public to-day. M
During the fiscal year 1912, 2,465 il- cl
licit distilling plants were seized, ti
about the same number as the pre- sc
vious year, and the commissioner ad- b;
mits that the government did not get J<
all of the violators of the law. A Si
! great number of "moonshiners" still
are operating, resulting in a large "<
I ? ^ loss of revenue to the government, hi
he adds. ol
"Illicit distilling is most preval- ai
ent," says the commissioner, "in the w
States of Georgia, Alabama, North ai
Carolina, South Carolina, and Ten- is
nesssee and Virginia."
Corporation Tax Figures.

in the United States during 1911, as

tax law was 2SS,352, with capi- re
- * talization of $60,067,13S,925, bonded lr
indebtedness of $32,163,537,961, and M<
aggregate net income of $3,213,707,- 111

1910 by more than $2,180,708,000 e<
and bond and other indebtedness by 01
$1,448,201,000, while the net income
decreased by $146,543,000. *
\ Incorporated financial institutions '
and insurance companies reported an
aggregate annual net income of 15.S4
rc
per cent, on capital; public service
corporations 4.17 per cent.; industrial
and manufacturing concerns
4.80 per cent, and mercantile corpor
ations 10.13 per cent.

The corporation tax, which yielded
$28,583,259 on the 1911 returns, is T*

Helping to Unearth Fraud.
By its close watch on the records ei
and books of corporations, the bureau
> nl
of internal revenue, the commissioner
says, is assisting in detecting and ei
punishing the promoters of "get-richquick"
and other fraudulent and 1E
stock jobbing concerns. sc
The commissioner recommends the b
V,
revision of the oleomargarine law be- "
cause, as at present constituted it ei
results in evasion and fraud, according
to his report. During the fiscal C1
year 1912 more than 122,365,000 111
H
pounds of uncolored. and 6,235,000
pounds of colored olemargarine were ir
produced. Q<
cl
A considerable amount of revenue
is lost to the government, declares
the commissioner, because of an in- 11
H
sufficient revenue field force. He estile
mated that internal revenue receipts
during the current fiscal year, will a?
reach $326,006,000, and during the tl
fiscal year 1914 probably $328,000,- 01
000, breaking all previous records.

w Cotton Receipts Short.
Snmtpr. Dec. 14.?Statements b
given out by the public cotton weigh- ^
ers of this city show that the cot- v
ton receipts here are 15.000 bales 0
short of what they were at the same s]
time last year with the probability
of the shortage increasing rather d
? than diminishing for there is very fj
little cotton left in the fields. Many jj
of the farmers, however, are holding a
their cotton for better prices and the
local warehouse is full and much cotton
is packed away under the cotton q
platform shed. The receipts last $
year up to December 9, were 43,149;
this year they are only 28,261 bales, d
NOT FOR SALE, THAT'S ALL;

Richmond, Va., Dec. 12.?"I canDt

oble property," said Jefferson M.
evy in a telegram to-night to Gov.
ann, regarding the attempted purlase,
at a price of 750,200, of Moncello,
the home of Thomas Jeffer>n.
now owned by Mr. Levy. Those
ick of the effort to purchase the
sfferson home would deed it to the
tate of Virginia.
Mr. Levy said that, beside his
deep anecnuu iui mc
ad also full assurance that his care

Kabid Mule Broke in House.
Spartanburg, Dec. 14.?Aroused
om their slumbers at 4 o'clock yes;rday
morning by a furious batterig
on the front door of their house,
aar Boiling Springs, Charlie Chapan,
who lives on J. D. Collins's farm
ad the members of his family jumpi
hastily from their beds to find
at who was trying to batter down
le house at that unearthly hour of
le night-time, when suddenly the
aor fell in with a fearful crash and
r. Chapman's fine farm mule gave
furious snort and-plunged into the
>om and cavorted around at a furias
rate, putting the occupants of the
ause to fight. It was a fearful moent
for Mr. Chapman and the mem?rs
of his family, for they were in
mstant danger of being struck by
le iron-shod hoofs of the rabid aniial
or being bitten. The mule lung1
and pitched about the house, risig
up first on his hind legs and
awing the floor and snapping at ev-ything
in sight, then kicking up his
ind legs, knocking tables, chairs and
:her pieces of furniture into smith*eens.
When the mad mule first broke
lto the dwelling Mr. Chapman was
> unnerved that he lost control of
imself, not knowing just how to
andle the situation. He soon recov*ed
himself, however, and made a
esperate effort to get the animal
at of the house, though he dared
ot venture close to the rabid mule,
e threw open all the doors, think
ig perhaps that the mule in his mad I
ireer about the house might perlance
leap through one of the openigs
and thus free himself and famy
from all danger of serious harm,
is muleship, however, refused to
ave the dwelling, but held the fort,
; it were, smashing pieces of furniire
in first one room and then the
:her by its wild antics.
After trying for more than an
our to put the mule to flight and j
iiling, Mr. Chapman decided to use
>rce and arms in regaining posseson
of his home. Securing His gun
ad after seeing that it was heavily
aarged he opened fire on the mad
aimal. When the first shot was fired
ito the mule's head it gave a hoarse
ello'w like some wild beast of the
mgle and plunged about the room I
i.-? o ctnrk- with a hamoon.
e fired again and again %the fifth
lot putting the mule out of busiess.
