 s.1fUSrPAX B1G DUTY

Pittsburg.e July i5-Janes Feldmau and the jewelry gifts from European royalty which he confessed to stealing from Mrs. Anna Abbott, of Philadelphia. was taken back to Philadelphia yester. day by a detective. But the Little Georgia Magnet" as Mrs. Abbott was known years ago on the stage, will have to pay large sum before she re- gains tht jewelry. valued at s35,000.
 Agents of the United States Treasury Department in Philadelphia were so surprised by her statement that she brought jewelry, valued at s87.600. to this country without paying duty. that Special Treasury Agent G. W. Strat- ton is Investigating the case.
 Mrs. Abbott also was surprised at the inquiry and said that she had ta- ken her jewelry across the ocean three times without paying duty. as she said the jewelry consisted of presents to her from crowned heads and other Eu- ropean nobility. In 1898 and in 1897 she said. she arrived in New York and that the customs agents had passed her gems free of duty when they saw the letters she carried from the donors. declaring they were gifts.
 Feldman said he met Mrs. Abbott through matrimonial advertisement inserted by him in a Philadelphia news- paper eight months ago.

 sT0NAI. CHIEFS ON sUBJECT.
O6letals Would Issue e4oyo00y0o0 Tn Bonds To Reimburse Treasury Which Paid For Property
 h Canal Zone.

washington. July 15.-At luncheon today the President had a conference with Messrs. Aldrich and Payne re- sardinG the issuance of bonds to re- imburse the general fund of the Unit- cd States Treasury for the $S0,000.00o for the purpose of securing property of the new Panama Canal Company. Secretary of the Treasury McVeagh, Assistant Secretary Norton and Cardi- nal Gibbons. were also guests of the President at luncheon. The cardinal did not remain for the conference.
 The Payne bill originally authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to is- sue the $40.o0o.0oo of Panama Canal purchase bonds and contained a fur ther provision authorizing the secre- tary to borrow from time to time such sums of money as might be needed to meet public expenditures and to issue therefor certificates of indebtedness bearing not to exceed three per cent. interest The total amount of such certificates was limited to s25o.o0o. 900. The Senate struck out all these pro- visions.
 Secretary Mcveagh and certain oth- CT officials in close administrative cir cles recommended to the President that the House provision should be restored. It was argued that the safe plan Is to give such authority in the tariff btlI rather than to take the chance of alarming the public by raising the question as q separate issue at c later date.
 Senator Aidrich believes in waiting until the monetary commission can take the matter up In the fall and then cover the needs of the government by one big issue of bonds. .... v.

 Last month I travelled extensively through the West. and never saw such activity among the farmers. Ev- anywhere I made inquiry and learned and saw that the crops were abund- ant and the farmers were satisfied. Signs of the financial depression of 1907 are fast fading.
 Freight cars will be at a premium within 8 few weeks. We of the rail- road world judge the prosperity of the nation as much by the number of idle cars as anything else. Throughout the past year there have been thousands idle, but they will soon be rolling about the country filled with freight"
