Boston, Aug. 19.-Mrs. John Z. Gard
ner, the owner of the Isabella Stuart
Gardner museum in the Fenway, re
fused absolutely today to discuss the
story relating to the seizure of art
goods by the customs oficials at Chi
cage.
Henry W. Swift, who is one Of the

Of the matter, further than that allega-

Today's story recalls the fact that
Mrs. Gardner was concerned in a con

Gals six or eight years ago over the
entry Of articles for the opening OF
the Isabella Stuart Gardner museum
o. the Fenway. After putting up a
bond Of 100000 to cover any possible
duties, Mrs. Gardner was allowed to
bring in quantities Of art treasures.
She contended that the goods should
come IN free, as is permitted for ar
ticles for museums to which the pub
lie has access.
Attorney General Knox decided that
the Gardner museum was not entitled
to this special provision Of importa-
ton, holding that it was not q public
institution Of the kind mentioned in
the law. Mrs. Gardner allowed the reg
ular duties to be deducted from the
100000 rather than allow the public
free access to the treasures.
