BABY LOADED WITH JEWELRY. decide what was the proper thing to do in this ease.
 'I'll take those diamonds, sir" he said.
 T guess not,'' said the bejeweled passenger. II had all these when I went over. I got them up on Broad way"
 Up on Broadway" was communi- cated with. The gems were not bought there.
 They also are in the governments big box at the national capital.
 A queer case came up few days ago, which one of the inspectors tells in the most solemn and matter -of-fact manner. On one of the steamers a man, a woman and baby in arms had taken passage. The inspectors received word from the other side that the man was buying large quan- titles of jewelry and Swiss watches information of this character is ex- changed back and forth-and had set sail for America. The man was de- tained and the woman was allowed to go up town with the child. But an- other inspector followed her. Not a smuggled article was found on the man, and he was released. In the meantime the woman had entered a hotel. The inspector had noticed that the little one, who wore long clothes. looked rather odd. He also went into the hotel, and suddenly taking the infant out of the arms of the sur- prised mother, he shook it like a ter rier shakes a rat, and half Q peck of Swiss watches fell from beneath the long dress of the baby, which was frightened out of seven months growth. So, you see. it isn't so easy.
 Women are probably the worst smugglers. Some of them cannot re- sist the temptation to get just a little bit of lace across. The govern 1nent allows clothing and jewelry to the amount of S1O0. besides. of course, the clothing and personal ornaments that were purchased in this country. The women try all sorts of dodges to 1 fool the officers. And a good many ! of them succeed, for the reason that unless there is some suspicious cir | cumstance ones person is not searched, It was not long ago that woman attracted the attention o1 l the inspectors because the set of her l dress indicated that she was a very fat person, while her face was thin and sharp. Her skirts were lined with rare laces.
 But as the old inspector said, there is always-welf, nearly always-some' thing that betrays man or woman who h trying to smuggle. If one has done something one ought not t1 he is apt to look around to, see whe is watching him. 2

CREATES POSITION FOR ROSS
Executive Committee of Hoard of Uni
versity Regents Engage Professor
of Leland stanford University.

LINCOLN. Jan. Especial Telegram y
At a meeting of the executive committee
of the Board Of University Regents today
the engagement OF DR.. Edward A. Ross,
lately dropped from the list OF professors
OF the Leland Stanford university, was COM
peted.
Ross. 1t will be remembered claimed his
dismissal from Leland Stanford, was due
to his Bryanite views OF trusts, railroads,
free silver, being distasteful to Mrs. Stan
ford the patron OF the institution, while
the official explanation was that his lee
lures trenched too closely on vicious as
saults on the origin OF the Stanford for
tunes, rejecting on the memory of Mrs.
Stanfords late husband.
Ross was also mentioned frequently In
connection with an editorial position on
Bryan's now paper. The way was paved
for his engagement In Nebraska univer-
sity by Chancellor Andrews at last month 5
regents meeting. where at his urgency, 1t
was referred to the executive committee in
violations OF the university rules requiring
the endorsement first by the faculty COM
mittee. Strict injunction of secrecy was
given ut the time.
Today the fusion members Of the ex-
ecutiye committee completed the arrange
ment Prof Ross to begin work In February
at $4,000 a year This is creation OF
new position for him, as the university al
ready has professor of political economy.
