MUST HAVE MONEY
CHECK DOES NOT GO WITH YOUR
UNCLE SAM.
Even Men Whose Names Are Synony'
nous with Dollars in Millions
Have to Put Up the Actual
Currency.

Where is the private citizen who
would refuse to accept Vanderbilt,
Astor, Morgan, Rockefeller, Gould, or
other millionaire's check In payment
for bill for services rendered? Yet
Uncle Sam will not when 1t comes to
settling up for customs duties on i'm
ported personal effects of ocean trav-
elers.
Even a certified" check does not
serve to remove the financial credulity
of the nations treasurer. as several
millionaires who recently arrived from
Europe discovered when they ten
dered guaranteed" checks in payment
for the introduction of foreign goods
for household use.
There is not bank or financial in
stitution In the country but which
will accept q certified check as the
equivalent of good, hard cash. Uncle
Sam demands the coin OF the realm
however, and will not admit, as It ID
technically called, any dutiable article
until he gets it.
Not long since G. Oliver Iselin, the
yachtsman, whose fortune is estimated
at seven figures, arrived from England
In a White Star liner and offered bis
check for $4,000 in payment Of duty
on some curios which he bough
abroad.
Il am sorry, Mr.. Iselin, but We are
not permitted to take anything bu

Mr. lselin sent one of his accom-

lionaire to Biglin. us that l. who ca

The rule has not been revoked, hoy
ever, despite the millionaire's threat
and Uncle Sam is doing strictly cas-
business at the same old stand.
