Though the great soap trust Is now only
"a few days old. 1t Is already pursuing the
manners and methods which have aroused
such just and widespread popular indigna-

been artfully raised to the public, not al

the subtler process Of diminishing the guam
tity in the packets and packages and CIV
ing the ignorant consumer Is ounces, or
even less, to the pound. though in many
cases the lighter weight Is sold at an en-
HANGED price
"The American experience of trusts leads
us to look for the squeezing OF the small
retail trader by the soap trust. In Amer
lea firms are compelled not merely to sell
the trust article, but also to sell nothing
else. The Standard Oh Company. for ex-,

price is put up to him. The trust sucks out
the profits which once went to him, and he

six years ago. Under that bargain It has
received a total of $685., 008 acres of land In

SMUGGLED FOR SPORT
RICH FRENCH GIRL WANTED
NEW SENSATION.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
GENEVA, November 1.-THE customs
authorities of the F'ranco-Swiss frontier are
in despair concerning Mile. Marthe Rey, a
pretty woman who has adopted wholesale
smuggling as pastime.
Mile. Rey, who is only twenty-four years
of age. and wealthy, lives at Oriye, a from
tier village, in a charming villa left her by
her late father. who was reputed to be q
French millionaire.
firing of home life. Mile. Rey decided
that smuggling was the most exciting d.
version she could find. Tobacco, saccharin
and SNUFF were very dear in Haute Savoie.
and very cheap in Geneva. 1t was easy to
fill her 40 horsepower motor-car with con-
traband in Switzerland and then dash
across the frontier, selling 1t at enhanced
prices, and giving the proceeds to the poor.
At first the scheme was highly satisfac-
tory. Mile. Rey had several narrow es-
oapes from capture by the customs inspect
Of the enterprise. On one occasion she was
closely pursued by indignant French off,
Gals but her car outdistanced Them and
the contraband exchanged hands before
they recovered the trail.
Caught at Last.
Misfortune came with a new chauffeur,
however. The former one, a middle-aged
man, became crippled with rheumatism in
consequence of his frequent night journeys
across the frontier. and substitute was
engaged. He was not an expert in the art
of smuggling, and on the second trip the
car was overhauled by the French authori-
ties, and the occupants arrested Mile. Rey,
who wore smart Paris costume, treated
the matter as a joke, paid the exorbitant
fines imposed, surrendered her contraband
saccharin to the inspector, and motored
merrily back into Switzerland to get an
other cargo.
Encouraged by this capture however, the
French guards increased their vigilance
and the motor car was captured a second
and then a third time. On each occasion
Mile. Rey nonchalantly signed checks for
the amounts of the heavily increased fines
and ironically complimented the authorities
on their vigilance.
The third time she was warned that her
car would be confiscated II she persisted In
this form Of amusement. Mile Rey re-
torted that they would have to catch her
first! They did catch her again, and after
the usual formalities Of seizure and fines
had been concluded at Selligny, in Haute
Savoie, Mile. Rey coolly hired a pair-horse
landau and with her chauffeur drove back
home leaving contraband behind valued at
5000.

told the chief inspector at Selligny. ''Now
I shall get really big one. By-and-by my
