Mr.. SCRUGGS IS HELD.
New York Commissioner Says
There Is Evidence that the Gus
toms Law was EVaded-

New York, June 5.-The second hear
ing before United States Commissioner
Shields on examination of the charges
Of smuggling against Richard M.
Scruggs, the St. Louis dry goods mer-
chant, and e. S. Langhorne, also Of ST.
Louis, was held today.
Mr.. Scruggs was called in his own de-
Tense He told about his purchases of
jewelry in London substantially as was
told by IanghOrne last Thursday. He
said that he was constantly with Lang
horne, who carried the common purse
and paid all bills. He was with the
latter when he purchased a belt in which
to keep yaluables that would not be safe
in trunks. All the articles purchased
were for Scruggs' personal use or for
ring and scarfpin. On other articles he
had placed the monograms of the per-
sons for whom he intended them. Most
of them were for immediate relatives and
friends, some of whom lived in his own
house.
His Ideas About Customs Duties.
"What was your idea about customs
duties?' asked Mr.. Ketcham.
Il believed that articles purchased for
ones self or to be given as presents to
ones friends were not dutiable," said
Mr. Scruggs. He also testified that for
many years he had had nothing to do
with the importing business of his house
Mr.. Scruggs said that the statement
by Inspector Donohue that he had taken
ring out of Mr.. Langhorne's pocket
and also q watch at the district attor-
ney's Office was false. The ring had
been taken off Langhorne'S chain and
the watch out of his pocket at the pier.
The empty boxes for the jewelry in the
belt found on Mr.. Langhorne. Scruggs

There was no necessity for searching

William L. Vandervoort member of
the Scruggs firm in st. Louis, testified to
Scruggs' good character and said the lat

Testimony as to Good Character.
Charles R. Polk, a New York real es-
tate dealer, formerly of ST. Louis, said he
had known Mr.. Scruggs for thirty-five
years and that his character was of the
highest. Commissioner Shields said it
was unnecessary to call any more wit
nesses as to Mr.. Scruggs' character and
the assistant district attorney agreed
with him, adding, however, that it had
nothing to do with the case.
The commissioner stated that he under
stood that Mr.. ScruggS did not dispute
having purchased the jeWelry in London.
brought it here, that it was dutiable and
no duty had been paid. He said that he
was not judging as to guilt but whether
the defendants should be held for the
grand jury. The evidence, the commits
sioner said, was clear that the defendants
bad brought goods in without paying duty.
Another important point was the conflict
Of testimony between LanghOrne and In
spector Donohue about the finding of the
jewel belt. The accused were held for the
grand jury. Mr.. Scruggs was greatly
agitated at the result. The old bonds
were renewed.

WIDEN NARROW GUAGE ROAD.
Calumet, Mich, will Get Direct Commu-
nication with the World.

hACdlIOn WITH the "Oflds
Hancock, Mich, June 81 Special /
There is a near prospect of relief for the
people of Calumet from the Inconvenience
and exposure of dependence upon mar
row gauge railroad for transportation
facilities. The Mineral Range railroad.
which was wrecked by young Ives nearly
ten years ago, has been in the hands of
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic rail
way for several years. 1t is now an
nounced, upon adequate authority, that
the road will be widened to standard
gauge within the next six weeks There
will be no third rail laid, as was antici-
pated, but the road will be widened and
new rolling stock supplied. The northern
terminus of the D., S. S. & A. will then
be made at Calumet, thirteen miles
north of HOughton, at present the end
of the line. The railroad bridge and APP
proaches at Portage lake have been
strengthened and the opposition of the
government to the use of the old bridge
successfully overcome, so that no further
obstacle exists in the way of giving relief
TO 10000 people who have been incon-
venienced for many years by inadequate
rail facilities.

RULE REGARDING PosTMAsTERs.
Expected that Wholesale Changes will
be Made Before July s.

Washington, d. c., June 5.-The rule
announced shortly after the administra-
ton assumed charge that postmasters
would be allowed to serve out their full
terms unless removed for cause has been
modified and it is expected that whole
made soon. 1t is officially announced
that the President and the postmaster
general will consider as having expired
the terms of all the postoffices which are
due to expire between now and July 5.
The reason assigned for the modification
of the announced policy of the administra-
ton is that it is the desire of the post
office department to fill as many Offices as
possible in order that accounts may be be-
gun with new quarter.
