Detroit, June 20-Tne treasury de-
partment special agents office here has
suspected for some time that valuable
sundries We're being Struggled into this
country, via Windsor, and a close
watch has been kept. Last Thursday
a package was deposited with the Ma
tional Express company, addressed to
druggist in an Ohio town, marked
rubber stamps and ink" and purport-
ing to came from the Jewett Rubber
company, of Windsor. Similar pack
ages had previously been consigned
by the Jewett Rubber company, of
Canton, o. The Windsor address and
the absence of anything to show that
duties had been paid on the package,
caused its seizure.
Caught the SmuggIer Red-Handed.
1t was found to contain drugs, sur
geons' rubber gloves of a very fine
quality and other goods. Monday
morning a man called with another
package, was recognized as the shipper
Of the seized articles and taken to the
special agents office. He gave his
name as Jesse A. Buell. and said he
roomed at 20 Elizabeth street. He ac-
knowledged that he was the shipper
of goods and that he did business as
the Jewett Drug company, of Wind
sor. He had on his person twenty-one
large envelopes, containing invoices
and price quotations, addressed to
druggists throughout the country. The
envelopes had no printing, and each
had 2-cent Canadian stamp They
were evidently just ready for mailing.
Didn't Know About Duty.
Buell. said he bought his goods from
a man he met in the Russell House
and did not know whether any duty
had been paid. The treasury officers
say that some Of the articles are on
the prohibited list. and duties could
not have been paid on Them unless a
false entry was made.

hon, of the International Association
Of Amalgamated Street Railway EN-

afternoon: This is now a fight to the
finish. President Gempers told me this
afternoon that he proposes to turn the
entire power of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, with it's membership of
100000, against the Transit company,
and fight the issue out if it takes five
years to do it. The boycott to be de-
clared will apply not only to the Tran
sit company but to every person,
every business man, every association
and, in fact, any corporation or indi-
vidual favoring them In any way
This action was decided upon
when the proposition adopted by the
striking street car men proposing to
submit the question of taking all the
strikers back to arbitration was re-
jected by the company. Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
deratiOn of Labor, announced that ne
gotiations between the st. Louis Tran
sit company and the men looking to a
settlement Of the strike on that basis
were Off. Negotiations are off" Com
pers said to, the Associated Press,
"the company declines to submit the
matter of sre-nstatlng the men to ar
bltration.''
Dynamite was used Oftener yester-
day than on any day since the strike
was inaugurated. In addition to wreck
ing car on the Page avenue division
strikers caused four other car wrecks
in various parts of the city, but no one
was seriously injured. Two women
were attacked by other women be.

second case two detectives protected

Don't neglect little ailments. Keep

stomach, increases the action of the

of the organs Of digestion and nutrition,
except cancer of the stomach, purihes the
blood, increases the vital energy and so
enables the body to resist and throw off

"Golden Medical Discovery" can be
counted on to help every time and to
