Thomas Blaney, a bartender, was arrested
by Internal Revenue Agent Frank Thomp-
son in New York yesterday.
Blaney carried bundle. which. when
opened in the Federal building. was found
to contain about $4,000 worth of beer
stamps The prisoner was unable to salts

was taken before United States commits
sioner, who held him in 5000 bail for ex-
animation on Friday. The charge against
him is having stolen revenue stamps in his

Within the past two months two mys-
FERROUS robberies of beer stamps, by which
the government lost $4,000. have occurred.

ownership of a tobacco box. AS their lam
guage grew more expressive and their
speech louder a crowd collected, delighted
with the dispute. The Kurd had picked up
the box in the street and the Armenian de-
clared it was his. When they were about
to come to blows policeman came up and
tried to effect a compromise. but neither
disputant would give way. At last the Ar
menian suggested that the Kurd should be
asked to declare what was in the box The
Kurd promptly answered Tobacco and
cigarette paper" The Armenian smilingly
informed the officer that all the box con-
tanned was Decent piece The policeman
gravely opened the mysterious case, then,

ri BBER GATHERING IN BRAZIL,
As Seen by Men on Board the Vessel
Wilmington.
From AlDslee's Magazin

FROM AlItslce's Magazine
BY studying on map of Brazil you can
see that the Para river extends almost due
west, south Of the Island of Maraio to
network OF narrow streams. known as the
Passes, which connect the Para with tho
Amazon These numerous channels are
from 30 to $50 yards in width. and some of
them are navigable for vessels of eighteen
to twenty feet draught. These passes are
interesting enough TO those traversing them
in small craft. but to the officers and sail
ors of such steamers as the United States
ship Wilmington, they are trebly So At
night there is little to arrest the attention
other than the weird dark shapes of the
banks, which ever seem close aboard The
land being low and fiat and the trees near
the waters edge 1t seems as if the ship
mas forsaken her natural element and is
running overland on invisible wheels
When daylight comes in sudden burst
of light like the unheraIded flash of the
theater's Illumination. there Is revealed On
each side of the narrow channel the for
eStS Soiid wal. exposing to view d panor-
anna or oVerhanging vines. of Creepers and
foliage and branches brilliant with the
multitudinouS hues of tropical vegetation
There is strange chattering of animal
life and Il whirr of winged insects The dis
cordant cries of myriad parrots echo from
the trees. There is human life, too. Here
and there empowered in the jungle can be
seen little wooden huts, with matched roofs
and sides open to the cooling winds
These are the homes of the rubber gath
erers. who labor day in and day out COL
lectlng the milky sap of the Hevea bra
Siliensis. This rubber gathering is interest
ing. and the Wilmington's crew watch cur
iously as the winding channel reveals little
gioups of natives at work along the edge
! of the stream.
Those on board who have read the de-
scriptions tell others of the manner in
which the half-naked Indians labor, of how
each family works what is called an .'es-
trada, or street, a path through the forest,
which embraces as many rubber trees as
can be conveniently tended of how these
trees are slit with a machete and cup
| fitted in, the cup to catch the sap. and of
\ the manner in which the owner makes his
| daily round and brings to his hut the col
| lected juice.
| There is also interest in the description
| of It's next stage, when the is dipped
/ with a stick and revolved over a smoky
| fire. The smoke causes each layer to CO.
| asulate on the stick. and when the desired
! amount is formed it is removed and made
| ready for shipment These balls of crude
| rubber usually weigh in the neighborhood
| of twenty-five pounds, and are of a dark
| lustrous hue 1t was a novel experience,
| this visit of the Wilmington's crew to the
| home of the rubber gatherers, and the
| closest attention was paid to the ever
changing scenery as the white cruiser
steamed slowly along through the Passes.
