INDIANA STATE NEWS. THE VIGItANTS, Who Puna* Crtol—1». Foaml One It h AUtgtd, Id tho Pwwn of Their Leader. North Vkrsox, Ind., Dec. 1.—The crusade of the La.v and Order league against crime and criminals here reached the climax Monday night in the arrest and imprisonment of George W. Shaffer, charged with embezzling 9400 from the Ohio Farmers' Insurance Co., of which he was local agent. The accused, who is about 00 years of age, has long been prominent in business matters here, and some years ago organized a local branch of the Horse Thief Detective association, of which he was elected manager, and which station he continued to fill up to the time of his arrest. Last month Shaffer represented the North Vernon branch at the meeting of the Horse Thief Detective Association, which met at Madison, and has always been prominent in the councils of the horse thief detectives. This association of detectives does not confine itself exclusively, as its name indicates, to the apprehension and prosecution of horse thieves, but aims to give attention to all elasses of crime. The people generally are loath to believe that Shaffer is guilty of any intentional wrongdoing. The organization of which he was manager, aided through members, is stirring up the case against Shaffer.

WashijiGTOx, Dec. ft.—The annual report of the commissioner of internal revenue says that the seizure of illicit stills within the last few years has increased greatly, and that the matter should receive serious consideration. In 1894. 1.016 unregistered stills were seized. Since that time seizures of this character have increased gradually, until during the last fiscal year they reached the unprecedented number of a,m. The cause of the increased illicit production of spirits no doubt in a great degree is attributable to the increased tax on that product. The suppression of “moonshinmg” is very difficult. Stills are * operated illicitly in many parts of the country, but they are particularly numerous in the more remote localities and in the mountain regions of several of the southern states. On this account extraordinary measures must be taken to discover and seize them. Collectors allege that the means at their hands are entirely inadequate for this purpose, hence the appropriations for the discovery of violations of internal revenue laws must be depended upon for this work. The appropriation for the last three or four years has been insufficient for this and other purposes for which it is provided. The following shows a list of stills seized and number of arrests made:

The estimate made by the commissioner a year ago was a total of $150.000,000. and it is estimated that them will be a alight increase for the current year. Probably this year will produce $150,000,000 from internal revenue, although the estimate is $156,000,000. As a rule the result falls below advance calculation. In the raids on illicit stills. 829 persons were arrested, one was killed and three were wounded. During the last ten years ten otheers were killed and 16 were wounded by moouslftners. The commissioner recommends that the expense of storing spirits iu general bonded warehouses be borne by the owners of that spirits, suoh charge to be levied by means of a stamp tax. This, he says, would greatly lessen the objection to the use of the warehouse by any class of spirits. Tha commissioner also recommends that existing laws be modified so as to authorize the commissioner to prescriba by regulations what statutory packaga of tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigarette# may contain, or authorise him to prohibit the packing iu such packages of articles which appreciably increase tha size and weight of the package, under penalty of seizure and forfeiture.
