smuoaIed Gowns Worth Millions.

Further investigation OF the syste-
matte smuggling Of Paris gowns into
the port of New York has led the
custom house officials to declare that
the syndicate has probably smuggled
in 100000 worth OF goods each year
for the last ten years. thus defrauding
the government out of 100000 an
nualIy In customs duty.
Efforts TO avoid criminal prosecution
and to shield from publicity the promi-
nent women for whom the $4,000
worth Of recently seized gowns were
intended. resulted in the offer by rep
utable attorneys representing anony-
nous clients OF 100000 to the gov.
eminent to drop the investigation.
The federal grand Jury has the case.
and It Is intimated that the identity Of
the smugglers will be revealed.
