thousands of men, women and chill
dren gathered in and around Cramps
shipyard today and witnessed the
launching of the armored cruiser
Tennessee. The gates of the ship
yard had been thrown open to the
public, and $4,000 persons or more
gathered around and wasted patiently
for the graceful hull to move down
the ways. They were grouped on
roof tops. scaffolding, iron work,
mastheads, lumber piles. telegraph
poles and other points Of vantage,
regardless of danger. When the big
ship took it's initial dip in the waters
of the Delaware a deafening shout
went up from the vast crowd and
mingled with the deafening din of
screeching whistles, changing bells
and booming guns. Guests of the
ship-building company, several hum
dred in all, occupied big stand
around the bow of the Tennessee.
The christening party was headed by
Governor Frazier of Tennessee and
his official staff. Others in attend

Ough investigation upon the arrival
to the station see the box, and when
it arrived he simply threw up his
hands, for the box was so enormous
that he could think of no place in the
federal building or any of the other
government bonded warehouses where
it could be stored. While Leach was
trying to locate a place for it, At
torney Squire Of Squire, Sanders &
Dempsey, called upon him and asked
him for permission to have the box
stored in the Chadwick barn on Euclid
avenue. which he said had a door
large enough. Leach told Squire that
he would do so in case Mrs. Chad
wick deposited a certified check for
$2500 to cover the duty. This was
done and the box was carted to the
Chadwick barn, under the direction
Of Captain Benham, who was then
Leach's first deputy. The door was
locked with government lock, GUS
toms seal was placed upon it, and
staples were hammered into one place
where it was thought the door could
be opened. Leach then telegraphed
for a government inspector at Gin
cinnati and pressed into service three
local experts on art, including the
late Professor C. F. Olney.
Leach, the experts and the govern
ment officials went to the Chadwick
barn to appraise the property. the
box was opened, and, much to every
body's surprise, it contained a lot of
worthless pictures, limitations, such
as could be bought in this country at
perhaps smaller cost than in Europe.
Then Mrs. Chadwick's check was re-
turned.
On another occasion the New York
customs officials received a cable
gram from government agent
abroad that Mrs. Chadwick had
bought a lot of valuable diamonds
and was coming over with them. She
was spotted upon the arrival of the
steamer, but she disarmed the Of
flcials by entering diamonds as duti-
able and valued them at either $10.-
900 or $4,000. Then she was allowed
to depart, but after she left for
Cleveland the customs officials be-
lieved that the diamonds were much
more valuable and they telegraphed
to Collector Leach to keep a sharp
lookout, and added that they would
send him a secret service man to
help him. This special agent, with
Leach and his deputies, spent more
than a month trying to locate the
diamonds. A house on the West Side
was closely watched. but nothing
ever came of it, and the hunt was
abandoned. This happened more than
two years ago. The picture incident
was later.
About five years ago Mrs. Chad
wick arrived in New York from
France. She had a splendid diamond
necklace. which the customs officers
seized. a special agent awaited her,
rs the government had been warned
that she bought 1t abroad.
She claimed she bought it in this
country Virgil P. Kline was her at
torney then. He took up the case
and proved that Mrs. Chadwick
bought the necklace at Bowler &
Burdick's here. When she went to
Europe she had the gems reset, and
this led to the seizure. When the
customs officers got the weight and
description of each stone sold by the
Cleveland firm and found they tailed
with the ones i'm the necklace the
gems were returned to her.
The government officials admit they
were defeated at every turn, and that
Mrs. Chadwick always came out on
top.
