LOEB REFUSES ALL OFFERS
OF SMUGGLING SYNDICATE
Tc Drop Governments Inquiry Into
Sleeper Trunks Contents.

New York, April 19.-The smuggling
syndicate which first offered Collector
of the Port Loeb 100000 to drop the
governments investigation of the
smuggling of Sleeper" trunks contain
ing $4,000 worth of Paris gowns to-
day increased it's offer to $500 ac-
cord3ng to Mr.. Loeb.
"The amount now offered the gov
ernment to drop the investigation and
probable prosecution is $500 010," said
Collector Loeb. THE amount repre-
sents what would be penalties of fully
100000 above the appraised value of
the goods. All offers have been re-
fused. We want the smugglers."
1t is believed that worry over this
case affected the mind of William B.
cambridge, confidential agent of the
United States treasury department in
charge of the customs bureau in Paris,
so that he committed suicide.
Collector Loeb's investigation so far
shows that the smuggled gowns had
been made in Paris by famous design
ers for many women of exceptional
social prominence and wealth in New
York, Boston. Philadelphia and Wash
ington and that the reason for offer
ing such a large sum to suppress the
investigation was to shield these worn
en- from the unpleasant publicity
threatened by the coming disclosures.
Collector Loeb will sell the seized
gowns at public auction next month
and will employ dressmakers and mod
els to display them.
