The subject OF the deterioration OF pa

introduction of wood fiber as a basis for
paper has very much limited the life OF
such papers. and the higher priced papers
have a short life also on account Of the
chemicals employed in their manufacture.

MRS. IDA DULLES
LOSES NECKLACE
Jury Renders Verdict in Favor
of Government in Suit
for Its Forfeiture
JEWELS WERE BOUGHT IN PARIS

New York, Nov. 22.-Yesterday af.
ternoon the jury. under direction of
Judge Adams, returned a verdict in
favor of the government in the suit
for the forfeiture of the pearl and dia-
mond necklace brought into this coun.
try by Mrs Ida HaHrrison Dulles, of
Philadelphia, a passenger on the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm. The necklace was
bought by Mrs. Dulles at Tiffany's, in
Paris. and is valued at $4,000. She
failed to declare it on her arrival at
this port, and it was seized by Special
Agent Theobald.
Assistant District Attorney King be-.
gan his cross-examination by asking
Mrs. Dulles why she wished to consult
her husband as to the appraised value
OF the necklace when she knew that
this was to be decided by a govern.
ment official She said she simply
wished to talk with Mr.. Dulles about
the subject. Upon redirect examina.
tion Mrs. Dulles identified a bill for
$4,000 f. -cs from the Tiffany house
in Par .rr the necklace. received by
her a.tse her arrival on the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm.
Mr.. Dulles was then called to the
stand and denied statements made by
Agent Theobald on the witness stand
that Mrs. Dulles had said to Theobald
that she had no iewelry, purchased
abroad, but had some that had been
repaired. He also said in contradiction
of Theobald that he had told Theobald
he was staying at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, and made an appointment to
meet Theobald there at o'clock that
night Mr. Dulles said that he be-
lieved Theobald, as a custom officer,
could have had the property appraised
and avoid red tape
Mr.. Nichol addressed the jury in be-
half of the defendant. He said that
nothing had been brought out to show
that Mrs. Dulles had any intention to
bring the necklace into this country
without paying the required duty. On
the contrary, it had been shown that
she simply wished to consult with her
husband, who had no knowledge of
this purchase, before making her
declaration.
Assistant District Attorney Baldwin
summed up for the government He
said no matter what the intentions OF
Mrs. Dulles might have been. the fact
was that she wore on her person when
she arrived at this port a pearl neck
lace for which she herself had testified
she paid $4,000 francs at Tiffany's, in
Paris that she did not declare it to
the deputy collector who boarded the
vessel at quarantine, and that she had
it concealed" under her clothing wher
she landed at the pier.

Those Who Administered Il Are Be.
yond Jurisdiction Of Courts.
Washington Nov. 22-The secretary
OF war yesterday sent to the attorney
general the papers in the case OF
Father Augustine, who died from the
effects of water cure administered by
soldiers of a Vermont regiment while
serving In the Philippines The charges
were brought by Charles Francis
Adams. Herbert Welsh and others OF
what was known as the Lake George
conference.
It cannot be found that any person
now serving in the United States
army was responsible in any way for
the death of the friar and therefore
the persons cannot be tried by court
martial. It is expected that. following
the precedents growing out of other
wars, the attorney general will render
an opinion that neither the courts in
this country nor those in the Philip
pines have any jurisdiction over the
men or officers after being discharged
from the army John Brownell. a
volunteer officer. who was in command
of the troops who administered the
water cure. has acknowledged that the
cure was administered and that the
man died. The courts of Vermont. II
is said. have no jurisdiction over him
nor have the local courts in Manila
where the offense was committed.
