MRS. " JACK" DOES
NOT UNDERSTAND
Duty Paid and Fine Settled and
Still Struggled Goods
Are Held.
SAYS SHE'S PROSECUTED
CRIMINAL ACTION NOT LIKELY
TO BE STARTED.

Boston, Aug 20.-Mrs. John l.. Gard
ner, in an interview credited to her by
a morning newspaper. acknowledged
her ownership of the art goods which
have been seized by custom officials in
Chicago, because of having been
brought into this country by Mrs En-
lily r. c. Chadbourne under an alleged
false declaration, in which the goods
were described as household effects,
but declares she did not know of Mrs
Chadbourne's intention to bring them
to this country.
The statement attributed to Mrs
Gardner is in part as follows:
THE customs department has always
prosecuted me, and l have paid thou
sands of dollars of duty upon objects
of art as a result Of their impositiOns.
The goods in Chicago belong to me. L
had lent them to Mrs. Chadbourne for
her home in Europe. | doubt if the ar
ticles would total $4,000 in value, and
think Mrs. Chadbourne had a perfect
right to bring them into this country
as household goods.
Il don't know whether the $4,000 in
fines and penalties was paid by me or
not. as | have a man who looks after
such things. / have not paid $4,000 to
keep the art objects from being sold at
auction. If the duty is paid in full and
still bigger fine is paid without pro-
test, / don't see why the customs peo-
pie should take the articHs, too"
