SMUeeLER HELPS THE POOR
French woman Pays Heavy Fine and
Loses Automobile, but Com
tinues Practice.

GENEVA, Nov. 10-The customs nuthori-
ties of the Frauco-Sviss frontier are In
despair concerning Mile. Narthe Rev. a
pretty woman. who has adopted wholesale
smuggling rs a pastime.
Mile Rey. who is only q years of age
and wealthy. lives at Drive, a frontier VII
lage. I'm a charming villa left her by her
late father who was reputed to be French
millionaire.
firing of home life, Mile. Rey decided
that smuggling was the most exciting diver
sion she could find Tobacco, saccharin
and snuff were very dear in Haute Savote
and very cheap at Geneva II was easy to
ill her ten-horse power motor car with
contraband in Switzerland and then dash
across the frontier. selling IL at enhanced
prices and giving the proceeds to the poor.
At first the scheme was highly satistac-
tory Mile. Rey had several narrow es-
capos from capture by the customs in
spectors, but this only added to the attrac-
tion Of the enterprise. on one occasion she
was closely pursued by indignant French
officials, but her car outdistanced them and
the contraband exchanged hands before
they recovered the train.
Misfortune came with a new chauffeur
however. Tho former one. a middle-aged
man. became crippled with rheumatism in
conseqdence Of his frequent night journeys
across the frontier. and n substitute was
engaged. He was not an expert in the
art nf smuggling, and on the second trip
the car was overhauled by the French au-
thorities and the occupants arrested.
Mile. Rey. who wore a smart Paris cos
tune treated the matter as a Joke. paid
the exorbitant fines imposed, surrendered
her contraband saccharin TO the inspector
and motored me-rily back into Switzerland
to get another cargo.
Encouraged by this capture. however the
French guards increased their vigilance
and tho motor car was captured o 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.
I The third time she was warned that her
car would be conhiscated IL she persisted
in this form of amusement. Mile. Rey ro-
tortcd that they would have to catch her

I had been concluded at Selligny, in Haute

/ home, leaving contraband behind valued at
! 5000.

told the chief inspector at Selligny. Now

GERMAN BRIeANp A HERO
Wan who Robbed Town by Impe'
sonRting an Omcsr Relieved
To BE American. y

BERLIN. Nov fO.-The bogus guards
captain who succeeded in raiding the town
hall Of Kopcnich. carrying off $3.50 ana
placing the mayor under the arrest OF
German troops. Is still the hero OF Ger
many.
He commands admiration for the coohcss
and courage which enabled him TO commit
in the twentieth century one Of the most
astounding sots Of brigandago over
recorded. The kaiser has ordered that he
shall be kept fully informed by telegraph
with regard to the adventure.
The Hamburg police report that they
have evidence which leads them to believe
that the robber is a German-American
named Miner, several times arrested for
petty sWindling.
The supposed captain. who wore the uni
form of the First regiment Of infantry
guards, accosted a detachment Of soldiers
when marching back from drill to barracks
IN Berlin and directed them to follow him.
saying he carried an imperial decree order
ing him to effect important arrests.
When the military detachment occupied
the town hall large crowd gathered
naturally attracted by the sight Of soldiers
with fixed bayouets guarding the doors.
One Of the principal police officials OF
Kopenick also appeared on the scene and
/
fused, threatening TO shoot him down II
he attempted 70 pass them They stated
they had strict orders to exclude all per-
sons from the building.
When the hero-robber heard that the
police superintendent was before the door
he summoned him and told him he re-
quired assistance.
The superintendent, like all others, was
completely duped, stood all attention, and
after receiving the captains orders pro-
ceded to execute them.
| Forty years ago a mad officer ordered
/ the men Of his company to swim across a
swollen torrent i'm their full equipment.
The men obeyed without hesitation and
were praised for their obedience.
! One of the most amusing incidents Of the
famous day of Koepnick' was tho cap
tain's" conversation with the landlord and
his wife i'm whose inn he whiled away the
morning hours. waiting for the ten guards
men. After indulging in talk on common
place slbjects the captain turned the
! conversation into pathological channels. He
said he was a great admirer of Low Gur-
man, that he had read extensively in this
| dialect, and asserted his opinion that had
not Luther selected High German as the
! language Of the German Bible, all Ger
many today would speak Plattdeutsch.

BEET RAISING IN IRELAND
One Speaker says Product of Ireland
win Rival that of
Germany.


DUBLIN. Nov. 10.-At the Inst Getting
of the council OF the Dublin Industrial De-
yelopment association a letter on the Sub
ject OF the possibility of establshing a.
sugar beet industry in Ireland which Al
derman Cole had drawn attention to pre-
viously. was received from Tieutenant
Colonel +. \. Warburton. r. F.. London,
IN which he pointed out that such an in
dustry was handicapped in the process of
manufacture by expensive coal He said
that all methods hitherto adopted with peat
had failed, for reasons which he need not
enter into but which might be summed
up under the general term ignorance"
"9ut" he continued If enterprising and
intelligent men, who desire the rise of
Irish manufactures OF all Kinds, take this
matter in hand the face Of the whole coun-
try will be changed in a few years"
Colonel Everard. ]. p, y. L., said he
knew that beets grown in ireland were
quite equal to the best that Germany could
produce. The real difHculty was not the
soil or the plant; that was all right The
real difficulty was the uncertain condition
of the system Of bourties that are adopted
in foreign countries. And they were not
sure yet whether the government would
Ntry to help this industry in the way it
was being helped elsewhere Apart from
that difficulty another arises, and that
is the extreme fluctuations from over
supply. He quoted figures given about a
company interested in this matter, which
showed that the price of a certain beet
sugar within ten months reduced so per
cent. which clearly meant that no profit
could be gained from the manufacture.
Another difficulty i'm this country was
that It must be carried on on an enormous
scale and all at once. They must start
into it with first-class machinery and
with an area Of at least 5000 or 4OO0
acres OF beets He Colonel Everard) saw
