MORE HINTS Of
DETECTIVE
GRAF 7
Sheriff Jarrett Said to Have
Information of Curious
Transaction.
REPORT THAT BRIBE PASSED
Chief of Detectives LeaI and
Porto RiCan Interpreter
Are Involved.

With reference to certain transae-
tions in which the detective bureau
of the police department is said to be
entangled, particularly with reference
to gamblers, both haole and Chinese,
it is understood that Sheriff Jarrett
has information in his hands of a GER
tain transaction which took place a
few months ago which refers to at least
one supernumerary of the detective bu-
reau.
y Spaniard was accused of a certain
crime involving the innocence of a
young girl. He was arrested and his
case finally came up in the police court.
The Spaniard was released ON bail and
while out it was suggested to him that
he employ a lawyer and get his case
before the federal authorities. He re-
piled that he didn t care to do that
as it would cost him less in the police
court than anywhere else, saying that
in the federal court it would cost about
800. but by leaving it to the police he
would get off at $40.
The answer was reported to the sher-
if, who sent man to see the Spaniard
and learn from him in detail what he
meant. The Spaniard told the go-be-
tween that the Porto Rican interpreter
of the detective chief had seen him and
told him that the matter would be end
ed smoothly in court if he (the Span
laTd) would pay him $50 to give TO the
-JhIef. He said he paid the money.
When the case came up in court the
sheriff gave instructions to have the
Spaniard brought into his Office as soon
as the ease was finished. 1t was no
ticed that a member of the detective
force engaged the Spaniard in earnest
conversation and the latter disappeared
Immediately after the case was conelud-
ed and he left the building without be-
ing seen by the sheriff or the deputy.
The matter is being probed further
and the sheriff intends to go to the
bottom of the transaction.

HAVANA, March 30-A large ware

ire yesterday morning. The entire struc-

The fire spread SO suddenly and was so
soon beyond control that before 1t could
be removed shipping tied to the wharf
was burned up.
The German steamship Altenburg of
the Hamburg American line was de-
stroyed and the crew had to jump over
board into the bay to escape from the
burning ship. These men were picked up
by tug.
President Gomez and his cabinet went
Immediately to the fire to give such or

Rider Haggard Favors Establish

Special Cabiegrsm to The Star.
LONDON, March 3O.-Rder Haggard
believes that afforestation will do
away with a vast amount Of unemploy-
ment. In a recent address on this sub
ject he said that at last It had become
apparent TO the minds of the people of
this country that something should be
done 10 repair the wastage OF their
woods. The royal commission has found
that afforestation in this country was
both practical and desirable, and that it
ought TO be profitable to the state.
If the full scheme suggested by the
commission-that 100000 acres should
be afforested for eighty years-at the end
of that time the state should have a
property worth over 81 500. 600. 900. that
amount being nearly $500 600 900 in ex-
cess of the cost incurred in creating 1t,
al owing per cent compound interest
upon the cost. At the end OF that period
the state should have an income of 49,
100000 or $9O.O0O.OOO q year clear profit
In case the state considered this too
large a scheme. they had prepared an.
other. providing for 6.OO0.OOO acres. In
addition to the employment thus directly
afforded. such q scheme would give en-
ployment to kindred industries to an ex-
tent impossible to calculate. 1t would
also be Of great benefit to small holdings
and eventually give employment to at
least $4,000 men.

BADLY INFORMED LOT.
Astonishing Ignorance Displayed by

French Army Recruits.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, March 3O.-American news
papers not long ago gave interesting
examples of the hazy ideas some school,
children have about Abraham Lincoln.
On the score of age their ignorance is
perhaps more excusable than that shown
by great percentage of French army
conscripts regarding events which have
closely affected their country.
A book has just appeared in Paris en-
titled 1.-THE Soldiers Patriotic Education.

OF five years Investigations among the re-
cruits placed under his charge. Although
most of them had gone through the pub
lie school curriculum A. per cent returned
wrong answer to the question: What
is Alsace IIorraine?' The ma jority
thought it was a large city in France,
others that it was country the capital
of which was Berlin. Some 80 per cent
knew nothing about the FrancO-PruSSian
war, a significant fact to be remembered
by Frenchmen who still cherish thoughts
of La Revanche.'

that such abysmal ignorance of history

MORE TRUNKS ON PIER SEIZED
"SLEEPERS" CONTAINED $50, 900
WORTH OF FINERY.
Struggled Ashore, Customs Officials
Believe, From Liner New York.
All Ships Watched.

| NEW YORK, March 30.-Following the
seizure On the American liner st. Louis.
after she arrived Sunday morning. OF a
package in the care OF Purser r. D. Will
liams, containing four expensive gowns,
| it became known yesterday that one of
the most important customs seizures Of
recent years had been made Saturday.
Expensive dresses and other feminine
wearing apparel worth not less than $.o.-
600, it Is said. were discovered on the
same pier and sent 10 the appraisers
stores.
Shortly after the New York sailed Sat-
urday morning at 10 O'Clock for South
ampton, Customs Inspector Benjamin
Warning saw two large trunks on the pier
which he had not noticed there before
The labels had been scratched, SO he de-
| cided he had stumbled upon couple OF
"sleepers."
Warning notified the Office of the survey
or of the port and Acting Deputy Surveyor
William Tierny, jr., hurried up to investi-
gate. He broke open the trunks and soon
saw that an important seizure had been
made.
At the appraisers stores the goods were
inventoried. In the lot were 80 Paris
gowns, 80 of linen waits, dozen silk en-
broidered coats. and an almost endless
collection of other feminine wearing as,-
parel. The goods had been packed as
tightly as possible.
There was nothing to indicate to whom
the goods were consigned or who had
tried to smuggle them through, but the
marks of the makers are on some Of the
garments and the customs men will start
the investigation on the other side.
The customs officials believe the trunks
were brought on the New York when she
arrived last Monday week and may have
been slipped ashore Saturday morning be-
fore the vessel sailed, to be run off the
pier when opportunity offered.
