SEIZED GEMS WORTH 100000.
Mrs. Dodgc's Jewels Were Rated
Too Low.

NEW YORK, June 27.-The jewels seized
by Deputy Surveyor Bowling from the
baggage of Mrs. Phyllis L. Dodge, upon
her arrival from Cherbourg on the St.
Paul on Saturday, were specifically eX-
amined yesterday by experts in the en-
ploy Of the Treasury Department. They
were found to be worth fully 100000. The
lingerie taken from two trunks was not
appraised. 1t is believed to be worth
over $4,000
The value set on the jewels alone
makes the seizure the largest ever made
in the port of New York. 1t has de-
veloped that the first information re-
ceived by the custom-house officers, that
Mrs. Dodge was buying many rare
Jewels in Paris was unwittingly furnish
ed by young Louis Wormser, the young
man who met Mrs. Dodge at the pier
and went with her to her home.
HOW THE SECRET LEAKED OUT.
Mr.. Wormser's success in Wall street
after his arrival from Europe last
spring. and his alleged inability 10 keep
from talking too much put the customs
officers on the right track. Wormser
made several thousand dollars through
a fortunate speculation. and then, 1t IS
said. boosted that Mrs. Dodge would re-
ceive another present from him in the
shape of a necklace valued at over Sls,OO0.
1t is alleged that said that Mrs.
Dodge, who was then in Paris, would
make the purchase there and bring the
Jewels home with her.
A man who overheard the conversation
repeated it to the Treasury agents. The
officials cabled TO Special Treasury-Asent
Theobald, i'm Paris. and told him TO keep
a lookout for the woman. Theobald found
that Mrs Dodge had bought a pearl
necklace of rare workmanship. His in
formation was that the piece was worth
considerably more than $4,000. He re-
turned to New York and together with
Special Treasury-Agent Curtis, boarded
the St. Paul at Quarantine. He pointed
out Mrs. Dodge; saw that she did not
declare the jewels, and he was present
when the search was made on the pier.
NECKLACE VALUED AT $4,000.
The valuation of the necklace was
surprise to all. on the pier one OF the
customs officers said that in making up
the list it had been put in at $1,000. The
experts placed the value at $4,000. They
differed as TO the value Of the centre
pearl by 1000. The necklace consists Of
a string of pearls of rare beauty, gradu-
ating from a very large one in the centre.

WASHINGTON. June 26.-In the abb

exercised about the danger OF bites or

ported upon authority that meets with
some questioning to be the painless sn-
flictor of a sting that presently makes
itself known by the intense redness de-
veloped at the point Of attack and the
swelling that appears and remains for
twenty-four hours or longer.
There are alleged cases OF suffering
from the bite of the mysterious, DANCE

for treatment the opinion has been ex-
pressed by more than one surgeon that
the swellings found might be attributed
TO nervous conditions, or even to straw
berries. which have the reputation Of
profoundly disturbing certain systems.
The eutomologists of the government
have helped the apprehensiye to justify
their fears of the bug which few have
found by giving him a name and de-
scribing his characteristics and his me-
thods OF attack one bug scientist calls
him the ''melanolestes picipes," and says
he has a beak which he inserts without

swels up aud becomes red and then
