,By Associated Pres. :


WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-The spec
ial agents OF the treasury department
recently located $4,000 diamond
necklace, which was struggled into

Several weeks ago the officials re.
ceivcd information that woman of
means living in New York had pur.
chased abroad a necklace for which
she paid $22.000 and had succeeded in
getting II through the line OF baggage
inspectors at New York.
The woman was foupd in n New
York theatre. When approached she
said that the diamonds in the neck.
lace she then wore we're not genuine
and pleaded with the officers not to
disgrace her by making the arrest in
the theatre. promising to surrender
the necklace she had procured in Eli.
rope If they would call at her residence
the following morning.
This arrangement was agreed to.
but on the officers going to her house
the next morning the woman was not
TO be found. Her attorney. however.
called at the custom house and paid
about $4,000. which represented the
duties on the jewels and the added
penalty.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. IS.-
What promises to extend into a legal
and legislative battle against private
car lines was precipiated by the inter
State commerce commission by the
course taken today Mt the beginning of
the hearing instituted to show the
connection between refrigerator car
lines and railroads.
Counsel for the commission direct.

railroad systems operating their own
refrigerator lines give to he shippers
II much lower rate for refrigeration
than is obtained on roads that are
compelled To operate I'm connection
with the private car lines.
In this the railroads. notably the
Illinois Central. and the Pennsylvania
through their traffic freight manag.
crs. who were on the stand the
greater part of the day. apparently
aided the commission.
AS result there were many sharp
Tits between the counsel for the
commission and the attorney for the
Armour car lines and other private
companies. The action of the com.
mission initiating and prosecuting the
complaints has the double purpose OF
establishing it's jurisdiction over pri
vate car lines and correcting the evils

The chief contest is expected to de
vclop on the r1oint of jurisdiction.

the Industrial strike has assumed large
dimensions, and the turbulent ele-
ments in several districts are Offering
open resistance to the troops.
Large meetings, mainly of workmen,
were held in the university and the

was unanimous for continuing the
strike on the railroads to the bitter
end. The proceedings at several Of the
meetings were of a strongly revolu-

Fort Ethan Allen, Vt.-A Irritation,
followed by the alleged theft of pair
of opera glasses, is the cause of the
trouble which terminated in the es-
cape of private Maxwell Burke, troop
G, 18th cavalry, from the prison ward
of the post hospital at this garrison.
A detachment of five armed soldiers
In charge of a sergeant have been
securing the surrounding country for
Burke but without success.
Burke Is 19 years old. He enlisted
at Boston nine weeks ago, and gives
his home as Charlestown. He arrived
at this fort in time to join troop G
on its 35 days practice march through
Vermont When the troop reached
Montpelier Burke found a girl who
>"loved a soldier"
Burke was invited to the girls house
where, it is alleged, that he took
everything that he saw of value that
he could place in his pockets. The
opera glasses, which were expensiI e
ones, led to the discovery of the ROY
berry, and the matter was reported to
1st Lieut.. Van Leer, who commanded
the troop.
Burke was placed under guard, and
when he arrived here was transferred
to the hospital, he complaining Of
pains in his side. One of the nurses
left the prison ward in the morning,
and Burke leIJ tile hospital. An alarm
was sounded, but he could not be To-
Gated.

Fall River.-Each of the five unions
connected with the textile industry
voted unanimously recently to post
pone action on the matter Of declaring
a strike until next MoRGay.
This was done at the request of a
committee Of the Manufacturers Asso-
citation, who desired that radical ac-
ton be postponed pending conference
to be arranged between the Manufact-
urers' Association and committee
from the Textile Council.
1t is believed in union circles that
there will be no strike. The manufart-
urers have shown a desire to effect a
compromise, and it is believed that the
wage question will be satisfactorily adj
justed.
The latest conference between the
Manufacturers Association and the
Textil Council was brought about by
Mayor Coughlin.

etleffel ldentlfies PIunder.

Newport, X. I.-When Otto Stieffel,
the assistant to the alleged pirate
Jackson, was taken back to the jail
by deputy sheriffs he had positively
identified all the plunder found aboard
the sloop Dorado and the catboat Bes-
sic, including the articles stolen from
the summer homes OF Capt. Richard
Wainwright of the navy and William
HensZey in jamestown and other places
along Long Island sound and Nara
gansett bay.
Wednesday afternoon he received a
letter from friend in Brooklyn which
he read to the jailer. The contents
showed that the piratical expedition
was to have visited Florida the COM
ing winter.
Stieffel when he learned that
he is simply guest of the sheriff and
will be taken back to Cranston in the
morning to stand trial for stealing the
Bessie from Cranston.. said:
81 did not steal the Bessie; Riley,
the red-headed pal of Jackson, did
the work"
The sheriff's deputies are convinced
that a lot of stolen plunder was thrown
overheard, and a diver may make a
search off Dyers island. That there is
some plunder hidden in this vicinity,
the sherlff's men are satisfied, though
Stieffel will not acknowledge it,
Stieffel's last words before slumber-
ing were:
''If Sheriff King would allow me to
depart now, would promise to find
Jackson, if 1t took years. After set
tling with him would return to my
cell for the rest of my life and be sat
isfied."
