Treasury Agent J.. c. Cummings, Of New
York city. Keck had arrived on the steam
er Aller in New York on Friday. and vol
UNFAIRLY came to this city. accompanied by
treasury officers, who had identified him
from a description furnished by Captain
Loesewitz, OF the steamer Rhynland. When
package containing the diamonds had been
handed to him by Keck at Antwerp; that
he had repeatedly brought packages over
great value of them. He said he thought
they were trifing presents.
Charles Hess, of New York, counsel for
the Importers Protective ASSo-
citation, had a conference with District At
torney Ingham prior to the warrant being
issued for Keck's arrest. He claimed that
his clients paid 80 per cent. of the diamond
duties of the country. Keck's firm only
paid a small portion of the remaining 10
per cent. and yet the %latter's firm abso,
States, so that legitimate importers were
frozen out of the business. Mr.. Hess
$4,000 two years ago, when the duty on
diamonds was 10 per cent. Since it was
raised to 25 per cent. the firms rating
had increased to $500, 900. Mr.. Hess stated
that special treasury agents in Europe and
agents of the association In that country
had tracked Keck on his various visits,
and United States District Attorney Ing
ham stated to a reporter that Mr.. Keck
was not held on mere suspicion, but a very
strong case would be made out against
him when he had his hearing on March IS.
The delay is occasioned by the absence Of
Captain Loesewitz, who was allowed to
take his vessel on another voyage, and who
will not return to this port until the middle
of March.
Rankin d. Jones, of Cincinnati, appeared
as couns for Mr.. Keck. He denied that
his client knew the captain of the Rhyn-
land, or would know him If he stood in
front of him. Captain Loesewitz made
statements to Collector Of Port Read by
which ii is expected to show that the
United States government has been cheat
ed out OF millions of dollars by the dia-
mond smuggling operations. Mr.. Keck is

Milton Knight. freight traffic manager of
the Wabash, now representing that sys-
tenn as one Of the board OF managers of
the Joint Traffic Association. says the asso-
citation is doing the work laid out for il in
a successful and satisfactory manner, and
that it will become stronger rather than
weaker an time goes by. Another trunk
line official Is quoted as saying that the
large shippers were doing exactly what
they had been expected to do. They have
openly boosted that they would break
down the new association within thirty
days. The thirty days have now ey-
pired, she continued, land the ASSOCIATION
Is still intact and stronger than ever. The
shippers are defeated, and IL is proper that
they should be. Merchants do not care for
bargains in the way OF freight rates. They
are willing to pay fair rates, and would
prefer to have tariff rates maintained than
themselves get a cut and feel that their
competitor will probably be able TO get a
much heavier cut" And still another rail-
way official is quoted as saying: II do not
think the association will last. 1t is not
sufficiently elastic to stand the severe
strain to which il is now being subjected.
Nothing but a radical change in present
conditions can save il. Its future, how
ever, cannot be definitely determined for
at least six months"
