Felke Sentenced for Dodging Taxes in Oleo Case
John Jelke of Chicago was sentenced to two years in prison and fined 10 000 for defrauding the government by dodging taxes on oleomargarine. Seven associates were fined 100 each. Jelke's firm, the John F Jelke Co., is a leading oleo producer. The case centers on the artificial coloring of oleomargarine with moonshining allegations and related conspiracy findings. Government probes linked Jelke's Chicago operation to his Cincinnati base where trade concerns and assertions of illicit coloring were noted. The sentence concludes an action begun months ago with potential appeals to the United States Circuit Court.
