From N. Y. American. April 20,
Big ~SmVgglers Offer
$4,000 To Stop
u. S. Inquiry
Would Shield Owners of Paris
Gowns-But Secretary Loeb
Flntly Declines

''Call off the investigation OF recent
smuggling and we will pay the United
states Government $3.50 900"
This offer, sent through Intermediates
in such a manner that it cannot be traced
back to it's source. was made today to
William Loeb, jr, collector Of the port
OF New York. 1t came from the SNUG
slers who tried to bring into the United
states, without paying duty. many thou
sands Of dollars worth of Paris gowns
and laces within the past few weeks.
Mr.. Loeb refused the offer, Just as he
had refused an offer of 100000 made by
the smugglers several days ago. 1t In
dicated to his mind that the smuggling
syndicate was desperate, and that only
a small portion, perhaps, of their oper-
atoms had been uncovered.
at is true that the amount now offer
ed is $3.50, 000," admitted Mr.. Loeb to-
night. This amount includes what would
be penalties OF more than 5000, 900 above
the appraised value of the goods-more
penalties than would be imposed by law"
To save the society women from being
brought into court to tell what they
know, the rumor declared, the smuggling
syndicate was willing to pay almost any
price. Hence the offer of $260,000.
