WINSLOW OBJECTS
DOES NOT LIKE ARTICLES As
THEY WERE PUBLISHED.
WRITES TO SECRETARY Of NAVY
Experience Was Similar to That Of
Many Other Officers Returning
After a Cruise.

Washington, ID. CAS- n matter
OF justice to himself as well as to
other naval officers similarly situated.
Commander Cameron MGR. Winslow
has written to the secretary of the
navy n letter protesting against the
sensational and injurious articles
which have been published in some
OF the newspapers of the country con.
corning alleged smuggling by himself
at the time of his detachment from
the L. S. S. Charleston, at San Diego,
Cal, July II last.
Captain Winslow's experience was
similar to that OF many other naval Of
ficers returning to their own country
after a long cruise in foreign waters,
in that he was charged with having
sought 10 eyade the payment Of du.
ties on large quantities Of expensive
wines and thousands of high grade
cigars and other table Injuries as we'll
as on curios Of great value secured
abroad.
The facts are very different, accord.
ing to the statement made to the do.
partlhent by Commander Winslow. He
said his personal property was neces.
sarily packed In number OF small
boxes to facilitate handling. They
contained his household effects, such
as blankets. bed and table linen, tow.
els. pictures, photographs, books and
rugs lin all n considerable quantity
and purchased in the United States)
and part of the remaining stores which
he had on the Charleston as necessary
for the cabin mess.
Commander Winslow shows that, so
far from making any effort TO conceal
the landing of these goods, they were,
as a matter of fact, landed at the Gus.
tom house under the eye of customs
representative and sent directly to the
railroad station without any thought
that this remnant of cabin supplies
would be considered dutiable.
When he learned, later in the day,
and indirectly. to the contrary, Com.
mander Winslow informed the collec.
tor OF the nature OF the contents OF
the boxes, adding that he did not be-
lieve that they were dultable. but that
II there was the slightest question he
preferred TO pay the duty in full. He
says he supplied a complete list to the
collector, and paid in any case where
there was doubt in his own mind
as TO whether the articles we're pur-
chased in New York or a foreign coun.
try, the total amount paid being small.

GAMBLER ESCAPES BOMB.

Family Escapes.

Chicago - A dynamite bomb ar
ranged with a time fuse, exploded
Monday night on the window sill OF
the Napoleon room" In the residence
Of Blind John" Condor. 1923 Mich
igan avenue. II had been placed there
with the intent TO murder the family.
Contrary TO their usual custom. Mr..
and Mrs Condor and their son, John.
were in the upper part OF the house
when the explosion occurred ana thus
escaped
The explosion shook the house to
Its foundations, tore away the stone
wall under the window. which was de.
molished and damaged pictures and
furniture in the room.
The race horse owner and gambling
king puts the plot up to his gambling
enemies. He said Il was remark
able coincidence that on the day this
happened the City OF Traverse should
have received its death blow, for he
is credited with being the mind that
engineered the fight on the boat.
The furniture was smashed into
ldndling wood. One large mahogany
chair in which Mr. Condor usually is
found at the library window at the
precise hour when the explosion oc-
Cured. was left in splinters. Chairs
in other rooms were overturned and
covered with fine dust.
