Dealer, and He Was Arrested and search
ed Upon Arrival of His Steamer, the Bre-
tagne, from Franee-Sent TO Ludlow
Street Jail i'm Default of $1,000 Bail
Value of the Seizure About $4,000.

New York. Nov. a0.-Ten thousand snug
gled pearls of all sizes, some imitation
and some genuine gems, were taken 10. the
custom house to-day and spread out in
Collector Bidwelfs office. Tomorrow they
will be taken TO the appraisers stores,
where the government experts will pass
upon their value.
The pearls were seized by Special Treas
ury Agent Theobald from Francois Book. a
dealer in jewels and gems. or Providence.
r. l. Book arrived on the French liner
La Bretagne, but preceding him had come
a cable message to the customs officials
telling that the Providence man had
pearls of great price in his possession. To
the Inspector Book declared he had moth
ing dutiable. He declared also he was
going to Mexico at once, and said moth
ing about his business in Providence. So
Special Agent Theobald and the inspectors
made a rigid investigation into his bag
gage and his pockets.
Two Quarts Of the Gems.
In Books trunk were three pairs Of
worn shoes, tied together, heel and toe,
and wrapped compactly in newspapers
inside each pair Of shoes were many
packages Of half pearls. There were two
quarts of the gems altogether. They were
OF all sizes, and until the experts exam
Inc them 1t will not be known what are
genuine and what are imitation,
These half pearls are used extensively in
the manufacture of jewelry, and the imi-
tatlon article is expensive. Both the true
and the false are dutiable. When the Of
ncers had secured all the pearls from
Books trunk they examined his wearing
apparel In the inside pockets OF his top
coat they found a package containing
forty beautiful specimens. In the tail
pocket OF his cutaway coat was another
package, and there were more in other
pockets. The customs officials are inclfn-
ed to think that the pearls found on
Books person are genuine. and that the
others are possibly limitations. A rough
Of the value of the entire seiZ.
ure is $4,000.
Book Arraigned i'm Court.
Book does not speak English. He said
he was born in Austria, and had gone
from Trieste to Paris. Special Agent
Theobald has learned Of a trip that Book
made from Paris to this country last
May and regrets that Books baggage

Railroad President Stickney
a Frank Witness.
FUTILITY OF FIXING THE RATES
Admissions and Opinions Which Startled
the Members of the sub-C Committee of
the Indu striaI Commis sion Iaves g ting
Rate Determinations - Testimony Of
Other Prominent 0flcials Fiatly Contra.
dicted-Anti-Scaiping Bill Denounced.

Chicago, Nov. 20.-The testimony OF
President Stickney, of the Great Western
road, to-day before the subcommittee of
the National Industrial Commission In
vestigating rate Determinations, was CIV
en- very frankly, and some of his state
mentS caused sensations among his hear
eTs. His first declaration was:
81 tell you frankly these published
freight rates are not maintained by the
railroads and they cannot be maintained.
It is an impossibility. The interstate COM
merce law, as far as investigations and
corrections are concerned. is a roaring
farce"
A sensation was created. as the state
ment fatty contradicts the sworn testi-
mony of more than half a dozen railroad
presidents, who said published freight
rates were adhered to strictly.
I'm hereto, / know" said Mr.. Stick
ney, by way of introduction to his argu-
ments that Congress should keep its hands
off the business affairs of the country;
that the powers of the Interstate Com
merce Commission should not be extended,
and carrying charges must vary. as do
prices for commodities in the trade world,
according to conditions.
On taking the oath, President Stickney
stipulated that he was giving opinions
merely. He asserted that contrary 10 the
reports made by the Commerce Commits
sion, automatic couplers and other ap-
pliances had increased accidents. The
question of issuing free passes was taken
up The witness cOincided with the view
that this practice should be abolished.
He sinks the Moral Question.
I'VE owe it TO our interests, however. TO
extend favors to certain classes of mem
referring to members of the judiciary
who may ask for them"
rs it not an evil to morals that judges
get passes and private citizens none?"
came the question.
well, 1 don't like to pass on morals"
was the answer.
What would you think of Congress
prohibiting the pass system and stop
ping the ticket scalping?"
My attitude on such questions" was
the unhesltating response lis that Con-
gress is not created to run the business
of this country. The best thing Congress
can do is to repeal some of the laws il
has made The ticket brokerage problem
should be left to them and the public"
isn't the bulk OF business done by the
scalpers given to them directly by the
railroads.?
Il presume it is" was the ready reply.
Congressman Lorimer then asked an
opinion of the Imprisonment feature of
the anti-scalping bill several times pre-
sented to Congress.
"A most outrageous piece OF barbar-
ISM" was Mr. Stickney's comment. He
then showed that If the interstate com
merce law as to publishing tariff sched-
ules were complied with. there would
have 10 be $4,000 rates formulated on the
twelve classiications Of freight matter.
Would Only Aggrayate the Evil.
81 do not think pooling would have any
effect on holding rates table 4" said he
