1lous theft of $4,000 from the Amer

PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER MUST
PAY FULL DUTY ON GIFTS
BROUGHT HOME.
II Presents Are Valuable as Reported
They May Cost 100000 in
Customs House.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Secretary
Shaw and the collector of the port at
San Francisco have had a load Of
trouble for several weeks about which
the public has known nothing, and it
vas lifted today when the secretary
was told by President Roosevelt to
collect the legal duty on all dutiabe
articles brought back to this country
by Miss Alice Roosevelt. The total
duty is eXepcted to be nearly 500 600.
The daughter of the president has
received during her trip to the Pail
lppineS, China, Japan and Korea many
pretty and some quite valuable pres
cts. one newspaper reported several
weeks ago that the actual value would
be something like 100000 She re-
ceived valuable silks in China and
Japan, pearls in the island of Sulu
and wherever she has gone gifts have
been shoWered upon her.
The customs officials have been won
dering what they ought to do when
Miss Roosevelt arrived in an Ameri-
can port with the riches of the mines
and looms of the Orient. Some of
them suggested that, as she is the
daughter of the president, she ought
to be allowed to bring the valuables
in duty free, inasmuch as she was
treated with all the honors of a prin.
cess, and did much to cement friend
ship between the UnNd States and
foreign countries. The belongings
of crowned heads of royalty and dipio-
mats are thus admitted duty free into
the United States.
Secretary Shaw received sugges-
tions until he was almost sick. All
that stood out before his gaze was
that the presents had been reported
as worth probably 100000, and if the
usual rate of duty was imposed, it
would cost Miss Roosevelt or her
father upward of 60 per cent, or $780,
GOO. Neither Miss Roosevelt nor her
father is rich, although the young
woman is understood to have a mod
est fortune in her own right
Finally Secretary Shaw took his
Lurden to the president and told him
about it.
''There is only one thing to do" re-
piled the president. "That is to treat
my daughters baggage as you would
the baggage of any other private per-
son. She will pay duty on everything
that is dutiable"
Members of the Taft party to- the
Philippines say that the value of Miss
Roosevelt's presents has been exag.
gerated, but whatever the value it will
be determined by the local appraisers
at San FranciscAor the port at which
she lands.

The first few hours of the presi-
