NEW YORK. Nov. 29.-Seldom if
ever before in this city has sale of
seized goods attracted as much atten-
ton as that begun today by United
States Marshal Henkel. The sale Is
that of jewelry seized by ex-Special
Treasury Agent Theobald from Mrs
Phyllis r. Dodge in her arrival In this
country over four years ago.
Mrs. Dodge brought the jewels over
in small hangbag, but failed to de-
clare them. A banker met her at the
pier and Just as she was abuot to
hand the satchel to him, Agent Theo-
bald, who was also a passenger on the
vessel, seized them. Mrs. Dodge tried
to regain the jewels. contending that
as they had been presented to her
they were not dutiable. and for that
case was carried to the United Su-
preme Court, which tribunal decided
against Mrs. Dodge.
For the purposes Of the sale the
jewels have been divided into seven
lots the first consisting of one pearl
neckless an u charm studded with
rubies and diamonds. The foreign val
MS of the necklace is given as $35,O6O.
Theobald will receive about 80 per
cent of the price the jewels bring for
making the seizure. AS they are val
ued at about $63,927 this may give
nim about $1,000

whom they were never cast; tbous-

not be counted, and the result will be
In many cases an entire miscarriage
of the election, a result through mis-
takes and Ignorance exactly the same
as though the entire election were per
meated In nearly every precinct in the
city with gross frauds.
OF the 204 precincts 140 haye been
canvassed, and there is not a pre-
cinct among them where Judges have
not made mistakes In extending the
totals of the votes counted by them
and where the errors are not. of SO
palpable a nature as to be apparent
on the face. In many precincts the en-
