70 ARREST MORE
WOMEN TODAY IN
SMUGGLING PLOl
Arrangement of Those Already
Held Under Bail Is Set
for January 8.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Additional ar
rests are expected today in the sleeper
trunk" frauds by which the Govern
ment was deprived in five years of
more than 100000 in duty on Paris
gowns, many of which were brought
ever from Hoboken piers. The four ar
rests made yesterday, as the preceding
ones, were ON one indictment. There
are two other similar blanket indict-
ments, and new evidence is being sub
mitted to the Grand Jury from time
to time.
Modistes and milliners in many of
the large cities of the country are
likely to be implicated before the Gov
eminent is through, as less than thirty
trunks figure in the present prosecu-
tions, while the underground express
transported about 200 a year.
Those arrested yesterday were Della
Scully, who has a -dressmaking estab-
lishment at No. 20i East sixtieth
street; Angela c. Quinlan, of % West
Thirty-first street, and Annie and Ar
thur McBurnie, of No. 21S Schermer-
horn street, Brooklyn. The McBurnies
furnished bail in $1,000. while Mrs.
ScuIly and Mrs. Quinlan were held in
50, 500. They, with the other defendants,
are to be araigned on January 8.
1t appears from 1t that practically al
of the overt acts charged were com
mitted in the months of March and
September, 1907, 1908 arid 1909. This is
taken as indicating that the indict-
ments still to be made public will have
to do with fraudulent entries made in
other months by other dressmakers, as
Frank Fawcett's underground eX-
press across the Atlantic is known
to have done a good business all the
year round. 1t further appears f"fm
the indictment that Fawcett's place in
Paris was taken by anothe~ ilan upon
his death and prior to the discovery of
the frauds by the authorities.

POLICEMAN WINS FIGHT
FOR RETURN TO DUTY,

JERSEY CITY, Dec. 23,-The Board
OF Police Commissioners has REIN
stated Patrolman Frank Caprio, who
had been under suspension for over a
year. He had been indicted for a GRIM
inal offense, and the indictment being
quashed, the Police Board, at the re-
quest of Assemblyman Tumulty, his
lawyer, returned him to duty. 1t is
probable Caprio will get pay for the
time he was under suspension.
The resignation Of Patrolman Lying,
of the Contra avenue sta, ion. was laid
over. Charges are pending against
him. and Commissioner Mitchell thinks
Lying should be put on trial and dis
missed from the force, SO that he will
not be eligible to reappointment at any
time.

IOWA IN CONGRESS Savoyard

like it, though it has cost me many a pretty penny as a consequence of the rejection of my stuff by managing edi- tors, the censors of the American press, that, in theory, is free.
 Everybody knew that out of the Iowa delegation in the Fifty-third Con- gress would be chosen the successor of Wilson in the Senate. And, by the way, forgot to say. that Wilson, phys ically speaking. was a beauty in face and in figure. What a fine head of hair 1t was, ivory white. and wavy to the verge of curley Many a pretty wom- an would have given half her dowry were short in the land. He died at the cheeks. And yet the man was in- valid, and knew that his future days were shot in the land. He died at the comparatively ripe age of 67.
 Bob Cousins was too young to enter the calculation, but Henderson. Gear, Hepburn and Deliver were all in the ring. Perkins is the man who ought to have had it. for his brains. Gear was a successful business man and re- puted to be wealthy. On some bill or other in general debate Hepburn, Hen derson and Deliver all made speeches and any one of the three could com mand the House in a game like that orators all, and hepburn by immense odds the best of the lot
 The election came off in due season and Gear got the senatorship and held it till he died. He was a good man; but he was no Webster. He was an honest man but narrow. He loved his country, and had his mind been as large as his heart was true, he

would now be immortal as a public benefactor. But your narrow minded man has his beneficent uses. He is the conservator that stands like break water to resist the surging sea of in- novation and save the state from the political and moral pillage of the er- ratio with their fads.
 Gear died in 1900 after five years in the Senate, and Deliver was appointed by the governor his successor and has been twice chosen to the place by the legislature. He Is what one would call a bright man. In debate he is ready, agile, sometimes brilliant. Most people love to hear him talk when on his legs. l don't. He has popgun delivery, firecracker style. Your real orators voice must roar you to enthusiasm like cataract, or 1ull you to dream like a limpid and placid brook creep ing along messy banks and through shady groves in glorious and efferves- cent May. Hepburn, or Cousins is an immeasurably superior orator to Deliver. My friend George Gilbert, lately member of Congress from Ken lucky, has an extravagant admiration for "Old Pete" and has often epredicted to me that when Hepburn shall have been dead some two score years, he will rank in history with Crittenden, Evans, McDuffie, and Felix Grundy. l wish I could think so, for I have as kind feeling as I am capable of for an alien to Kentucky and to the south, for Old Pete but Igkhave heard him, orator that he Is, make statements on the floor of the House and talk pretty near

Had Jim Richardson of Tennessee been there that day would have fixed" old Pete to his ut- ter discomfiture.
 Hepburns annual speech was an as- sault on the rivers and harbors bill, and a very eloquent and very brilliant speech 1t was. too. though not so good as the first plea he ever made in Con gress-a free trade oraton on the sub ject of lumber Few states are more deeply concerned about the question of transportation than Iowa, and while much of the millions that have been voted to rivers and harbors was prodigally and even prohigately wasted, the people have got more of benefit than 1t cost from river and harbor improvements. I used to sit and listen to Hepburn rail against the Improvements of the Mississippi. a work that annually added to the value of every bushel of surplus grain and every pound of surplus provisions pro- duced on the farms of Iowa. No south ern state profited as much by 1t as did Iowa.

Representatives of the Fortieth Congress to conduct the impeachment of Andy Johnson. His friends were vociferous in the prediction-and confident, too-that he would get more forensic glory out of the trial than everybody else connected therewith-accusers, defenders and judges combined. If you want to be diverted, get old Ben Buffers book and read what he has to say of the impeachment pro- ceeding. That garrulous and rather cap tivating blatherskite, Jim Ashley, of Ohio aping Edmund Burke, had dramat- ically 'impeached Andy the session be- fore, but his following was insignifi- cant, and the thing collapsed Old But Ter, however, knew that it would come and when the session ended he got out of the library of Congress full set of the English state trials and spent the entire vacation reading and digesting them. Consequently when the House did impeach the President Butler was the only man in the lot who knew what a. state trial really was. Thad Stevens, the one republican in Congress not jealous of Old Butler, forced the House, much against its will, to make Butler one of its managers of the impeachment.
 Butler knew that the opening accu- sation of the prosecution would be the whole show for that side, but kept the idea to himself, chuckling over the thought that the other managers, Bing- ham, Boutwell,, Wilson. Logan and Will Hams, were already plethoric with the speeches they proposed to make in the summing up. As for Thad Stevens, the remaining manager, his day was over

use daily.
 If you doubt the formula look about you. Note the effects of self love-fron ennui to suicide.
 A new. clean play now being produced in New York city illustrates the extreme effect of sehshness:
 A rich old man has lived a self center- ed life. He thinks only of his ills He takes fright at every symptom of disease He concludes he is in a bad way. Learn ed physicians confirm his fears He de- cides to commit suicide.
 The miserable old man takes a room in a cheap tenement on the east side and prepares to blow out his brains.
 Just as he raises the pistol to his tenn pies a ragged, forlorn young girl steps in- to the room. She tells the old man of her troubles-real troubles, troubles that harass the mind and harrow the heart. But she says she is not complaining; she is making a brave fight to save her wo- manhood and Is hopeful of victory.
 The old man becomes ashamed of his troubles, which, after all are largely inn agnery troubles
 He becomes interested in the girls brave and hopeful fight He throws away the pistol. And the sequel of the play Is the restoration of the old man to health and the success of the girl
 In helping another the old man helped himself
 Which is the law of life.

A s I said before, Iowa had fine
 A delegation in the Fifty-third Con- 4 \ gross, topped by Gear, Tender son, Cousins, Perkins, Hepburn and Dol liver. Then there was Hull, the skill fullest politician Iowa ever produced. Lacey was another good man who did his country excellent service with his bill to protect birds from the pot hunter and the vandal. Updegraff was from the Eighth district and he was celebrated for having made a remarkable speech in Congress a dozen years earlier against the river and harbor bill. It was an alleged funny speech. the most lugub- rious effort in that line that ever came under my notice and I have seen some and heard them, too. That was when l was young and innocent enough to suppose it was my bounden duty to list en to statesman, even when he talked twaddle. I long ago outgrew that. how ever.
 One of the senators from Iowa in the Fifty-third Congress was James E. Will son. Everybody knew he was serving his last term, for passage was already engaged for him on Charon's boat on which he sailed about the close of his senatorial career. This man was an enig- ma. He was ever in flower, but in fruit, never. He had the reputation as fore most lawyer in Congress and his friends were always insisting that he would some day set the Potomac aflre with a speech expounding all the constitutional law ahoat But he never did.
 Wilson was appointed one of the board of managers selected by the House of
