1T is to late to stave off

Customs authorities, acting in con-

1900 pounds of wool and some harness,
was about to sail from Telegraph bay
to the United States. The sloop is
owned by George and Alfred Lawson,
of San Juan, who were arrested at the
time of the seizure, but have since been
set free. The sloOp had come over from
San Juan, but had not entered at the
customs nor had it cleared the cargo of
wool. Consequently the owners were
liable for heavy penalties. They pleaded
ignorance of the customs regulations,
and Collector of Customs Milne has al
lowed their plea to go back to Ottawa.
In the meantime the vessel Is held in
