SHE MUST PAY TAX.
Presidents Daughter Must Pay Full
Duty on Gifts She Brings Home
RULING Is by Her Father.

Washington, Oct. 2O.-Secretary Shaw
and the collector of the port at San
Francisco nave n a load of trouble
for several weeks abou which the pub
lie has known nothing, and it was lift
ed today when the secretary was told
by President Roosevelt to collect the
legal duty on all dutiable articles
brought back to this country by Miss
Alice Roosevelt. The total of the'duty
is expected to be nearly 6 10000.
The daughter of the president has re-
ceived during her trip to the Philip
pines, China, Japan II Korea many
pretty and some quite valuable pres
ents. One newspaper reported several
weeks ago that the actual value would
be something like 500, 900. She received
valuable silks in China and Japan,
pearls in the Island of Sulu, and where
ever she has gone gifts have been
showered upon her.
The customs officials la been Won
dering what they ought to do when
Miss Roosevelt arrived in an American
port with the riches of the mines and
loomso of the orient. Some of them sug-
gested that, as she is the daughter of
the president, she ought to be allowed
to bring the v%aluables in duty free.
inasmuch as she was treated with ri!
the honorS of a princess, and did much
to cement friendship between the
United States and foreign countries.
The belongings of crowned heads, Of
royalty and of diplomats are thus adj
mitted duty free into the United States.
Secretary Shaw received suggestions
until he was almost sick. All that stood
cut before his official gaze was that the
presents had been reported as worth
probably 500, 0OO, and if the usual rate
of duty was imposed, 1t would cost
Miss Roosevelt or her father upward
of 60 per cent, or $50. 900. Neither Miss
Roosevelt nor her father is rich, al
though the young woman is understood
to have a modest fortune in her own
right.
Finally Secretary Shaw took his bur-
den to the PRECEDENT and told him
about it.
There is only one thing to do" re-
nlied 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."

the second daughter of the late Mrs.
Lizette Schandein to marry Jacob Heyl,
admitted in the will contest for the
Schandein millions that she did not
marry Heyl because she loved him, u
to please her mother. She says she
told Heyl repeatedly prior to her mar
riage to him that she did not love him,
and that if she married him it would
be to please her mother.
When Mrs. Heyl took the stand she
was in tears because of the questions
concerning Mrs. Schandein put to Mrs.
Rosa We'll.
Mrs. We'll was asked if she knew Mrs.
Schandein had an illegitimate child.
She denied any information upon this
subject and denied eve having given
currency to such a report. She also de-
MED that she had ever repeated any
such rumors connecting the name of
Mrs. Schandein and Heyl. the husband
of w of her daughters, or a rumor
that Mrs. ~Schandein had received treat
ment in a hospital at Bonn, Ger

.dein's cousin. testified that the home

'dein had declared that she SHOULD re-
member Glare, the present Mrs. Heyl,
handsomely in her will. because Glare
had never caused her the slightest an
noyance or anxiety. h said Mrs.
Schandein had said Emil was nc bust
ness man. The reasons Mrs. %Schandein
gave for desiring to leave Milwaukee
were the ~annoyances which a been
CAUSED her here and the gossip which
was in circulation.
/. When Mrs. Best later saw her in Ger
many, Mrs. Schandein said it was
pleasant there, as there was no gossip.
Miss Martha Best testified to a con
,versation in which Mrs. S%chandein de-
clared hat Mrs. Frank. her daughter,
land one OF the contestants. was her
worst enemy, and that she had traced
much of the gossip around town back
to Mrs. Frank. On cross-eXamination
the witness admitted having visited
s~piritualistic mediums with Mrs. Heyl,
but not with Mrs. Schandein. Mr.. Heyl.
at this point, smiled at his wife.
