cial Makes Strong Statements.

New York, May 11.-William M. Theo-
bald, formerly special agent Of the
treasury department, makes the state
ment that more smuggling is going on
now than there has been at any previous
time in the history of the United States
government. OF his own personal knowl-
edge, he said he knew of four pearl neck
laces, no one Of which was worth less
than 100000. having been brought into the
port Of New York without paying a cent
of duty. Further than this, he said he
knew Of at least four firms in Maiden
Lane who are engaged in the unlawful
traffic and added that he could place his
hands upon them at a moments notice
Ludwig Nissen, who has been chosen to
go abroad to bring about a more thoro-
understanding between the foreign agents
of the treasury department and the deal
ers there, says:
Smuggling among merchants is less
than it has ever been before. I don't be-
lieve there are any large or responsible
houses that countenance it. The trade
\ is confined to rather narrow lines and we
can get a pretty good idea of it when
any house does that sort Of thing.
But the smuggling by travellers has
been steadily on the increase. Rich
Americans go by thousands to Europe
every summer, and the number Of those
who try to bring back diamonds and other
Jewels without paying duty is large and
increasing. Many seizures have been

The propaganda in behalf of better pub

ucation board is already beginning to bear
fruit, for the legislature of Tennessee, at
Its recent session, passed an act providing
that any surplus in the treasury at the
end of each fiscal year shall be diverted
into the Common-School fund. The total
amount expended for public schools IN
Tennessee last year was $1,751,047.
This law will add 100000 to $500 900
to that amount on the 1st of January next,
and if the prosperity of the state con-
tinues the annual surplus may reach as
much as half a million dollars, which will
be a great thing for Tennessee.
The report of the state superint endent
of schools for 1902, which has just been
issued. shows most deplorable condi-
ton for q state so rich, so enterprising
and so intelligent as Tennessee The total
school population is 771,965, but only asa
663 children are enrolled. and the aver
age daily attendance in 1902 was only 341.-

as against 81 per cent in Iowa. which has
about the same population. In Iowa there

average number of days that school is
kept in Iowa is 15S; the average number

6,202 for the white children and 1911 for
the colored children. OF the 9,195 teach
ers in the state. 1908 are white and 1884
are Coored. The average salary of the
school teachers Of Tennessee during 1902
was s31.16 a month, while in Iowa it is
SAT a month.
Tennessee spends 81 cents per capita of
population for educational purposes; Iowa
spends $780, Tennessee spends SSH per

SHIP WAS AFIRE
Heroic Work by Captain and Grew
Check the Flames.

Philadelphia, May 1.-THE American
line steamship F'riesland, which came into
port yesterday from Liverpool with ia
cabin and 636 steerage passengers was in
grave danger of destruction by fire during
the voyage.
From one Of the passengers it was
learned that on the fourth day out Cap
tain Apfeld was at breakfast with the
passengers when news that the ship was
afire was taken to him by the second
officer. Excusing himself, so as not to
alarm the passengers, the captain mount
ed to the upper deck, where smoke was
pouring from the hatch in dense volumes
With an order to have the pumps man
ned, Captain Apfeld soon had the men
engaged in hosting out bales of cotton
and barrels of resin, parafne and wax.
Captain Apfeld, with the cry come on
men; there's work to be DONE" seized a
rope and swung himself into the hold, al
tho several had been nearly suffocated on
the first attempt
In the course Of an hours time the fire
had been conquered. Near the place
where the fire originated were barrels Of
oil. In their fight Captain Apfeld's and
the mems faces arms and limbs were
bistered.
To show their appreciate of the fear
lessness of the men in charge of the ship,
the passengers drew up a set Of compli-
mentary resolutions and presented them
to the captain.

by Bandits.

Special to The Journal. b
Oshkosh. Wis, May 11.-All the con-
centrated efforts and inquiries Of the poll
icy department have failed to discover
single clue to the identity or where
abouts of the bandits who held up the
resort of Mamie Seymour and robbed the
inmates at the point of revolvers. The
hold-up was carried on in true 'road
agent" style. Accounts differ as to the
number of men engaged. Some say six.
but all agree that there were no less than
four.
The first notice that the management
mad was the appearance Of the gang in
the main room and their announcement
they had come for money.
The bandits searched Harry Maxwell,
the proprietor, and after robbing him of
his $500 diamond pin, found only $685. In
his clothes. They upbraided him for
struck him a blow with a revolver that
knocked him down. Maxwell saved his
ring by throwing it under a lounge.
Miss Seymour was then despoiled Of her
jewelry. One diamond earring was torn
from the ear. Then she was forced to
open the safe and turn over the funds,
which amounted to about 500.
Maxwell and Miss Seymour were then
compelled to occupy certain chairs and
place their feet upon a table. All the
girls were robbedsof their Jewels but later
the bandits returned most of them.
Among the guests was an Oshkosh mar
ried man. He lost a pin and watch with
his wife's picture pasted in the case. The
plumber amounts to about $4,000, most
of which is In jewelry.
Maxwell lost an octagonal $50 gold
piece that is worth several hundred dol
lars on account of it's scarcity.
