SHBEWD TACTICS ARE
CONSTANTLY EMPLOYED
Member of Smuggling Gang Recently
Employed BY the French Consulate.
-Counterfeitine Ruse is Worked
Successfully.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Commis-
sioner Shields today began the exami-
nation of Maurice Barnier, second
captain of the French steamship II
Savoie, who was arrested here several
weeks ago chargd with smuggling dia-
monds and laces worth $4,000.
Barriers examination may reveal
an extensive scheme to defraud the
government. The method, usually slin
pie, consists in a foreign firm work
ing with confederates in New York,
actually using, or counterfeiting con-
sular mail for smuggling purposes. A
messenger, who is an accomplice, dc
livers the genuine mail to his consul
and "holds out" the smuggled goods
for the New York confederates.
The treasury department suspects
that large quantities of dutiable goods
have been fraudulently imported by
this method. Hitherto, following a
custom international courtesy, bags
containing diplomatic and consular
documents and packages, of whatever
size, so long as they bore the seals of
a foreign state department, have been
admitted without inspection. More
care will be taken hereafter.
About six months ago a Frenchman
in hard luck applied for a position
with the French consulate.
He made such a good impression
that the consul-general, Etienne La,
mel, added him to the staff. He was
assigned to convey the official mail
between the French liners and the
consulate at So South William street.
Three weeks ago, according to Vice
! Consul Holman, the consulgeneral
was informed by the custom house
! that the man was suspected Of SNUG,
! Cling, and he was instantly dismissed
1t is the custom on the French line
to instruct official mail to the care
Of the second captain, and in Bar
nier's cabin Acting Deputy Surveyor
| Edward R. Norwood found two pack
ages, three feet long, each containing
laces worth $1,000. Jewelry worth
about $500 was also found.
The goods were sent to the public
stores, and Deputy Surveyor George
j. Smythe and the United States dis
trict attorneys office are now looking
for the former messenger and the
firm to which he has been delivering
goods.
The French consulate is absolvei
from all blame, and Second Captain
Barnier says he is entirely innocent
of any wrong, as it is a part Of his
duties to take charge of packages ad-
dressed to the embassy or the con-
sulate.
In this case the packages were not
addressed, but bore seals which re
sembled the official SEAL Only close
examination would reveal that they
were counterfeit.
