IS She A SMUGGLER?
Mrs. Jack Gardeners Long Controversy
With Customs Officials.

Boston, Aug. 26.-Should the charges
against Mrs. Jack Gardner prove true
her villa in the Back Bay district will
become famous as the home of one of
the greatest smugglers the country has
ever known. The present incident,
which involves Mrs. Chadbourne of
Chicago, according to reports, is only
one of many Many times previously
has Mrs. Jack Gardner defended her
self against smuggling accusations by
the government, although never before
in the form of a deliberate, secretive
plot such as the present one. Nothing
has been presented so far except cir
cumstantial evidence, but this points
strongly to the validity of the charges.
1t seems in the present case that Mrs
Chadbourne, in order to accommodate
a friend, undertook the bringing of
the smuggled articles, consisting of
famous paintings and tapestries, to her
Chicago home to later be shipped to
the palatial residence of Mrs. Gardner
Previous to this Mrs. Gardiner has
relied upon a techincality of law, which
admits art collections free of duty
where same are intended for public
exhibition. She has claimed that her
home was public art gallery and that
the paintings furnished for this should
be admitted without duty. 1t became
evident to the authorities in Washing
ton that Mrs. Gardiner was importing

DIES FROM L0CKJAW.
Hartzel Kitching, Hit by a Clod,
Passes Away.

Hartzel Kitching. the twelve-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. 7. B. Kitching.
died at the family home, 512 Horn
street, at o'clock this morning from
lockjaw caused by an injury received
about two weeks ago. While playing
with a number of boys about his own
age in the vicinity of his home he was
struck on the side of his face by clod
thrown by one of them.
The injury appeared slight at the
time and but little was thought Of 1t

A physician was called Immediately
and everything done to save the little

that he would recover. The funeral
will be held from the family home, 512

these are pieces for her own use and

The case was taken up with Leslie M.
Shaw, then head of the treasury de-
partment. A careful investigation was
made and it was ascertained that Mrs.
Gardiner was charging s. admission and
only opening her home two or three
days a month at this exorbitant price
and then only to such people as she
thought best. After the investigation
she received a statement that she must
either open her home as a regular art
exhibit at a reasonable price to the
public generally or else pay the duty;
she opened her home.
The home itself is one of the most
unique in America. A certain palatial
residence in Italy having struck Mrs.
Gardeners fancy, she purchased it and
imported it to America stone by stone

exact duplicate, but really the same

UNITED STATES IRRIoA-
TON EXPERTS IN PERU

=
This governments active inter
est in retaining arid land in the
West by irrigation is not a soil
tary or exceptional movement in
the world of today. Similar work
is going on in many countries. If
rigation is as old as civilization,
but just now it is receiving more
attention that ever before, and
many gigantic problems are being
worked out by the foremost en-
gineers.
Peru is one of the latest to turn
its attention to developing waste
land by bringing water upon it
from rivers which have Always
gone idly to the sea. It is true
that irrigation in Peru has been
carried on since before the days
of Atahualpa, four hundred years
ago, but not on a scale to be com
pared with what is now contem-
plated.
A report to this government
from Mr.. Charles NJ. Pepper, spe-
cial agent at Lima, says experts
from the United States geological
survey and from the reclamation
service have been in Peru some
time, employed by that Govern
ment to investigate the possibili-
ties of irrigation. The reclama-
ton of 100000 acres between
the mountains and the sea has
been pronounced feasible. The
rivers are not large, and the pro-
jsets in Peru would not compare
in size with some of the great ir-
rigation schemes in thu United
States. But the marvellous fertil-
ity of the land in the South Amer
lean republic, and its fine climate,
assure success in the highest de-
gree.
The arid lands of the United
States with five or six inches of
rain a year might be considered
well watered if compared with
some of Peru s dry wastes which
are to be reclaimed. The showers
that visit them are few and far
between-once in ten to fourteen
years. But when water is put on
such land its fertility is phenom-
email. The soil has lain inert for
centuries without any run-off to
leach out the fertility stored from
time immemorial This has been
found true in our own West. The
driest region often has the stron-
gest soil, once it is brought under
irrigation and its salts dissolved
and made available for plants.
Peru's rivers, which are to be
utilized, flow down from snowy
mountains and across the arid
country just as many of the rivers
in our own arid regions do. To
that extent, the western part of
the United States and the western
portion Of Peru have many fea-
lures in common, and the engin-
eering experts who have gone
down there from this country can
make good use of the experience
and technical knowledge gained
at home.

Die
The Glenwood post., 1908-06-20

around the Brown and Albany on
the nights preceding the conven-
tions in Denver. Scattered
through the Hobbies or in the
headquarters of the various gu
bernatorial and factional candi-
dates were the faces from over
the state that have made Democ-
racy in Colorado famous. The
one absorbing topic of the hotel
lobby conversation was the Speer-
Patterson fight. During the early
part of the evening both men
moved from their headquarters
on the second floor to the lobbies
and both adopted an entire new
plan of campaign. In previous
fights they have been content to
remain within the inner chambers
of their headquarters, but last
night they appeared in person in
the Colorado Hobbies and worked
like beavers for their respective
contentious. Speer stood at
doorway near the west entrance
of the hotel and greeted personal
ly every delegate who entered
and in many cases took their grips
and showed them to the hotel
clerk or else took them up stairs
to rooms which his side had pre-
viously engaged, and said: "Gen-
tlemen, make yourselves at
home"
Patterson stood under BAN
ner marked Regular Democ
racy," near the east wing of the
hotel shaking hands and talking
with the delegates who entered
from that side, and he, too, per-
sonally took aside many Of the
delegations and saw to it that
they We're comfortably housed at
the hotel and that they did not
have to go TO another "home in
the dark. :"
Scattered through the lobby
were Julius Aichele, Harry Linds-
ley, Charles Franklin, Tully Scott,
Leo Vincent, Charley Rawalt, B.
F. Montgomery, and, in fact, al
most every Colorado politician of
note in the Democratic party.
There is no denying the fact
that last night the sentiment was
with Speer. Whether he can hold
it or not remains to be seen. But
during the entire day and all
evening the general cry was: eve
gave Patterson control two years
ago and we lost everything. In
addition to this, he supported the
Republican ticket in Denver this
spring. Now let's try Speer."
The arrival of the outside dele
cations failed to bring the enthu
siastic support to Patterson which
he had hoped for. The delegations
from Boulder, Weld, Larimer and
the rainbelt counties, upon which
Patterson and the advisory COM
mittee had counted for so much
strength came in on the Speer
special and announced that they
were evenly divided.
This simply fioored the Pater-
son people. Early in the evening
Gov. Adams admitted privately
that Speer had control of the con-
vention outside the city of Denver
by at least 100, but he hoped that
they would be able to change the
sentiment.
| And to make matters worse the
Speer people announced that they
intended to elect Chilly" Adams,
Gov, Adams brother, temporary
chairman. Even though the gov
ernor is candidate for national
committeeman against Mr.. Speer,
both Billy and Frank Adams, his
own brothers, are for Speer, and
the Denver Speer people, deter
mined to make the defeat as igno-
minious as possible, selected Billy
as their temporary chairman.
