SENSATION IS PROMISED Mysterious Changes in Slock] Owenership Follow Arrest of Roberts. While for reasons 3t its own tho' local office Of the L'nited States revenue department remains strangely reticent about the matter, it is known that Important developments will fol? low the seizure Wednesday of Ins plant operated by the llenrlco Distil-, ling Company, Inc., of Henrlco county. The government, it is understood, has evidence of a sensational nature, which will be made public when the ease reaches a hearing before Comniissl"ti ? r hTegonhclmer. The most Important development yesterday was the suspension of K. W.l I (erper, government storekeeper-: ganger at the distillery. While the statute makes a suspension compulsory ill all cases of selxurv, the circum? stance was sufficient yesterday to' cause much speculation touching thej line of prosecution that the govern-1 ment will adopt. Although the seizure went into ef-i feet Immediately upon the serving of; notice Wednesday, it w'll not be fully] completed until to-day. By special older of the local revenue office, and, under a section of the revenue laws; framed to cover such contingencies,' tile distillery was permitted to re-j i.lain In operation yesterday to com-] pl?te the fermentation of certain Vats! which were full at the time of thej seizure. The action was taken to pro-] vent monetary loss resulting from an' immediate closing of the plant. Thej list mash will he drawn off this' morning, after which time the dls-j llllcry win remain closed un?il thej charges aealnst it fiv disposed of.' lending the oftlcinl locking?up of the] distillery, Deputy Collector B. P.-1 Southward has been in charge. Stuck ChancteM Hands. A significant fact in connection with the seizure of the distillery, and one . win. h no one 'In authority Under? takes to explain. Is that since the arrest of T. A. Roberts last Monday on the charge of threatening a rev- . enue officer with an axe. there has! taken place a partial change of own? ership. Shortly nfier tjhc arrest, a number of stockholders, most of whom live in Richmond, disposed of their holding:-. A reorganization in the dt- | rectorate followed, with the election of T. A. Roberta a.s secretary and ! treasurer. The present schedule of; owners Oil lllc In the office of tho state Corporation Commission no j longer represents the SXCUrate Hst of stockholders and t;1e authorities decline to make the names of these . public before the trial. The llenrlco Distilling Company. , which stands charged with removing. untaxpBld spirits to a place other than the warehouse designated bylaw, is the largest In the State, and has d dally output of 7."." gallons. Tfte Spo- ; clflc charge against Roberts is threat ening to assault Deputy-Collector E. P. Southward with an axe, but he will also he tried with the other owners and officers of the distillery on the j general charge lodged against in? i company. Will Move to Secure Doud. Steps were taken yesterday by at? torneys for the defense to secure an order from Judge WaddHl. of tho United Stales District Court of the Kastern District of Virginia, permit- . ting the distillery to continue business under bond until the difficulty is ad- : Justed. j Judge Waddlll Is now in Norfolk. One ol the attorneys for the defense,; it was stated, left yesterday for lhat , city to secure the order. The government Statut. ..Mends the 1 bonding privilege to distilleries hav Ing an output of more than 150 gal? lons a day. and having dependent up-] on 'ts products fifty or more head of. live stock. The sudden tleuarture of United States Commissioner Flegenhelmer for Chicago yesterday, will probably mean that tho hearing which was scheduled to lake place before him on June liT.. will be postponed to a later date. Both sides. It la understood, have ex? pressed their willingness to have tho hearing deferred. While Chief Deputy Thomas 1\ Meany had no statement to make touching the case, and was disposed to let the matter rest until the formal hearing. It is generally known around revenue headquarters that the end of the complication is not yet, and that the next few days will see ad? ditional warrants issued as a direct result of the seizure. .Mnrrlnge License.

The Virginia Field Artillery ?Ud tho Klchmond Blues Battalion liave been excused from attendance, bui the en? tire First Brigade, consisting of the First, Second and Fourtn Regiments of I Infantry, had made arrangements to' be present.
