WAY TO BEAT THE CUSTOMS.
II Takes Some Travelling, but New Treas.
ury Ruling Makes II Easy.

ury Ruling Makes II Easy.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 5.-The attention
Of Collector Of the Port Stratton has been
called to a defect in the customs regulations
which opens the way to smugglers,
This opportunity comes through a ruling
made some months ago by the Secretary
of the Treasury. Steamer passengers had
protested against not being able to open
baggage bonded for the Orient until the
ship passed Honolulu, So it was ordered
that as soon as the ship had left San Fran
cisco baggage might be opened.
This order opened to the way. A firm
OF New York importers sends a buyer to
Paris, who purchases diamonds on which
the duty is 10 per cent. laces on which the
duty is 90 per cent. and woman's fnery
on which there is heavy duty.
These he packs in several big trunks
and sails for New York. There he tells
the customs officers he has dutiable goods,
but is bound for Hongkong, so the trunk
are bonded and sealed. The buyer comes
to San Francisco. purchases a ticket to
Honkhong and his trunks, still in bond,
go on the teamer.
A confederate sails with him and when
the vessel ia outside the three lea que limit
the buyer gets permission to open the
trunks. He transfers the ~valuables to
the trunk Of the confederate, who lands at
Honolulu. His trunks are not inspected,
as they are in transit between domestic
ports.
Then the confederate comes here and the
trunks are passed. He goes to New York
and the importer receives the goods duty
free. The buyer goes on to Paris and re-
peats the operation.
A great falling of in customs receipts
led to the discovery of this ingenious device
to dafraud the Government.

would happen tt him. The following
Friday was set as the day on which Ander-
son should have his last chance to join.
On that day Anderson called on Hawkins
but did not find him at home. The next
Friday, it was alleged, Hawkins met Ander-
son in front of 2ls East l2Ist street, and
the next three weeks Anderson spent in
bed.

Der Of the union and explained that all he
did was to try to persuade Anderson to
leave his job. 1t was alleged that Hawkins
Was a member OF Sam Parks's entertain
ment committee" Eidlitz and Hulse, at
torneys for the Iron League, are looking

Had Been Put Up During the Whit err.

OTTAWA. Ont. April 5.-The north tower
of Western Block, one of the group Of Par
Lament buildings, collapsed shortly before
noon to-day. The tower was sixty feet high
and formed part Of an extensive addition
to the block begun last fall and prose cuted
through the winter.
Three men working on the tower at the
time escaped by jumping to the roof as
the tower fell outward. The collapse is
ascribed to mortar having heen frozen
during construction. The concuseion was
so great that it shook the main building,
where Parliamentary committees were in

Chicago Hotel Man Wants To Buy
Big lots Of Vegetables Herc.

The fame OF Paducah's market is
spreading. Paducahans have always
appreciated the fact that they have
an exceptionally good market and
the neIghboring towns have long ago
become acquainted with the fact, but
evidence of the renown OF the mar
ket was received from an unexpected
source today.
John c. Roth. manager of the Au-
ditoridm Annex, and the Great North

cago. is in correspondence with local
people seeking to make arrange
ments to buy all OF his vegetables
and what fruits he can on the local
market.
Evansville. Cairo. Dawson Springs
and many OF the neighboring towns
are now doing this. and the fame of
the market is growing with each
season. Local people speak with
pride of. this but regret 1t also, as
they say IL has made high prices on
nearly everything, The number Of
people who are engaged in truck
farming. however, is increasing all
the time as the farmers near the city
are appreciating the fact that there is
big money in IL.

years of age, and the train was run
on the Manchester and Liverpool line

time the third-rail cog system was in

capable of running an engine who
would risk the unknown danger of

cost Of something over s., 600, and
for every foot Of lumber, every
pane Of glass, every sack Of cement,
every pound Of nails. and in fact,
for nearly every bit Of material that
went into it, we made good, liber-
Al contribution through the trusts
that control them, and we guess
we have done our share.
To this he adds.
1t may be treason for Republi-
can newspaper to talk this way,
but facts are facts, aud it sort of
relieves our conscience to tell the
truth about the trusts once in a

which we had TO pay unwilling tri-
butte in the past year, pay our dol
lars for us. We need it and they
