GEM DEALER ACCUSED
OF SMUGGLING PEARLS
San Francisco Merchant Charged by
Customs Officers with Attempts
ing to Avoid Paying
Duty
BY Associated Precs.

BY Associated Precs.
NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The importa-
tion of three packages of pearls, valued
at $4,000 wholesale, and alleged by the
government to have been smuggled into
this country several weeks ago is being
investigated by the customs authorities.
Manuel Cornejo, a California dealer in
pearls, owns the gems, which were
shipped to Paris by way of New York
and brought back again through this city.
The customs officials at San Francisco,
besides making a charge of smuggling
against Cornejo, have begun a civil suit
for the forfeiture of the pearls on the
grounds that the 10 per cent duty to which
they are subject on importation was not
paid
Receipts of the New York custom house
show that Cornejo shipped some pearls to
Paris and reshipped them back here, and
he contends that these are the pearls
found in his possession. The custom Off
cials say that even If there was re-
shipment the pearls are of oriental origin
and the defendant must show that duty
was paid on their first entry into this
country. The owner declares that while
the pearls pass in trade for oriental gems,
they are really of American origin.

TRAIN CREW BLAMED
FOR FATAL COLLISION
Wreck on Tehachapi Mountain, in
Which Six Greeks Were Killed,
Believed to Have Been Due
to careIessness
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BAKERSFIELD, Sept. 27.-At the cor
oner's inquest held here this Afternoon
over the bodies of the six Greeks who
were killed in the collision of Tehachip
mountain last night, facts that go tc
place the blame on the shoulders of the
freight train crew were developed. AL
though the Southern Pacific officials hao
promised to have the crew of the freight
present to give their versions, they failed
to appear, and after taking the testimony
OF the work train crew the jury ad-
journed until Monday.
The three brakemen of the work train
testiried that their train was running
under orders giving them clear track
They were emerging from tunnel II when
they saw the freight train bearing down
on them at a rapid rate.
The trainmen were riding outside, and
with barely time to jump they warned
Conductor Carnes, who was in the ca
boose. He applied the brakes and jumped
In doing so he suffered a fracture of an
ankle. The brakemen assert that fuse
was burning on their train as an extra
precaution.
The whereabouts of the freight train
crew is not known. They were last
heard of at Tehachapi. 1t is said their
orders are read to pass the work train
at Gable. They passed the first section
on the siding and few minutes later
crashed into the second section.
After the crash, Greeks, who were not
injured. partially demolished the train
and pursued the crew for a long distance,
threatening them with death.

hour and hit the gasoline car, which
landed in a more or less dilapidated con-
dition on the southbound tracks.
An instant later a southbound car
came along at a high rate of speed and
completed the work of demolition begun
by the other. The broken and twisted
machine was picked up and carried for
100 feet and then tossed into ditch along
the right of way.
Both electric cars were stopped and
the crews went to the assistance of the
party of automobilists. but when it was
found that no one had been injured the
cars continued on their way. The people
In the automobile refused to give their
names and left the wreck of the machine

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 27.-Congress-
man Sulzer of New York last night told
Of his experience while cruising for three
days in a gasoline boat among the ice
foes of the coast of Siberia in danger
of being crushed at almost ary minute.
He says he and his three companions
owe their lives to the sagacity of an
Eskimo, whom they took along as a
guide Incidentally, he says, he learned
a good deal of Arctic lore in those three
days. When finally, a drift in the grind
ing of the polar pack, showed them the
way to clear water, he felt much better.
1--WE crossed the Bering straits in a
gasoline boat owned by two fur traders" :"
said Mr.. Sulzer, land visited number of
Eskimo villages above East Cape. Aside
from the two traders, friend of mine
and an Eskimo guide named Sigussa, were
in the boat. We had easy sailing, stop
ping at intervals, to see the tribe villages
until we reached Cape Serdze. We an
chored off a windward shore on Septem-
ber 1 and prepared to spend the night ly-
ing perhaps ten miles to seaward. That
night the ice came in and for three days
we had to fight our way out through the
pack"

BATTLESHIPS OF THE FUTURE
MUST BE BUILT IN THE EAST

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Sept. N.-Henry T. Scott,
who was president Of the Union iron
works of San Francisco when that con-
cern built the battleship Oregon. said in
an interview here as to the approaching
cruise of the United States battleship
fleet to the Pacific coast that the navy
of the future will have to be almost the
product of eastern shipyards, as labor
conditions on the western coast make
economical construction of battleships
impossible.
Conditions are getting worse instead of
better in the west" said Mr.. Scott. with
the added cost of freight and materials
necessary in battleship' construction and
the fact that with a shorter work day
our mechanics receive % per cent higher
pay than in the east it is impossible for
western shipmakers to compete with those
of the Atlantic seaboard."

HUMMEL WORKS IN BAKERY.
Is Serving Year on Blaekwell's Is
land For Conspiracy.

New York, May 21.-In handsome
touring car Abraham Hummel left his
home in East Seventy-Second street
yesterday to go to Blackwell's island
to serve year in the penltentiary for
conspiracy in the celebrated Dodge
Morse divorce case.
A few years ago Hummel enjoyed an
extensive practice as a lawyer, having
as clients some of the best known ac-
tors and actresses in this country, but
his conduct of the now famous divorce
case resulted in his disbarment and
the humiliation he now suffers.
His method of going to the peni-
tentiary was almost on par with his
farewell dinner given a few nights
ago, at which he bade farewell to about
a dozen friends prior to his imprison-
ment. About 100 curious spectators
and reporters were gathered in front
of his residence at II o'clock when Mr..
Hummel endeavored to depart for
Blackwell's island without observa-
ton.
An automobile had been standing at
the curb for several hours. One of
Mr. Hummels friends left the house
and entering the machine was whisked
away in it, The spectators followed 1t
a short distance and returned to the
house just as it drew up to the curb
again Then Hummel, holding hand
kerchief before his face to prevent
snap shot picture being taken of him,
ran from the basement door, jumped
into the tonneau and it dashed away
For about three hours he took a
ride around the city and then surren-
dered himself to deputy sheriff, who
took him by an unfrequented route to
Blackwells island. He will be put to
work in the bakery.
