NO MORE FAvORS AT
\. Y. CUSTOM HOUSE
Influential Americans With "Pull"
Can No Longer Have Examination
or Their Baggage Expedited.

New York, Nov. 26.--No longer can
the influential American use his pull"
to expedite the examination of his bag
gage on his return from Europe. Col
lcctor Loeb has issued an order that
no more expedite" permits be issued
to incoming travellers without the
sanction of the secretary OF the treas
ury or the collector.
Only three classes of persons are
exempt from this order. namely: Dip
lomats, persons bringing home their
dead, and those i'll upon landing.
Under the old system the returning
American with an acquaintance among
the men who board the vessel down
the bay could have signed to his
declaration slip certain magic initials
which put them at the head OF the line
OF those waiting on the pier for exam
nation OF their baggage.
The courtesy Of the port" was what
the expedition of the baggage was call
ed in the old days. Under its opera
ton, Collector. Loeb believes, the gov
eminent lost thousands -of dollars on
collectahln duties. The inspectors as
signed to examine expedited" baggage
felt that the owner was friendly with
some of those higher upr and the
baggage accordingly received only n
perfunctory examination.

DAVID B. HILLS ESTATE
WILL NOT EXCEED $4,000

Chicago, Nov. GA dispatch from
New York says:
Since the death OF former u. S.
Senator David Il. Hill many estimates
or conjccturcs Of the aggregate value of
his estate have been made. Mr.. Hnl
was u man of such Secretive methods.
so tacturn with respect to his personal
affairs that there never was a hint in
anything he said which would con-
Ney any idea to his professional earn
ings.
But the common impression was that
he had accumulated large fortune.
that accumulation beginning immedi-
ately after his retirement from the Uni
ted States senate. when he devoted him
self To the practise of law,
Many times the question has been
asked of lawyers, what In their opin-
ion. his estate would amount to in
money value. No estimate was lower
than 100000 not including the beautiful
home named Wofert's Roost Some
OF the estimates have fixed the gross
value of the estate as high as $500. 900.
Every one OF these estimates was an
error. The intimate friends, who have.
been permitted to SEQ the figures that
toll of the immediate estimate of his
wealth, have learned that his personal
estate is not in excess OF s23, O0o and
may be less than that. What Vol
tert's Roost will fetch at executors
sale. no one cain tell Not until the
death of Mr. Hill has it been known
to any except two or three of his
friends. That he paid only $4,000 for this
property. but the present estimate is
that the entire estate, personal and
real, VIII not yield more than $50 1000"

ment suit to dissolve the sugar trust In
New York will include the three local
