KEYPORT PLANT SHUTS

About $50 hands were thrown out
of work today at the closing OF the
Keyport plant of the National Fire

has been cut down to eight hours of

SEIZE JEWELS
MRS. SH0NTS
Customs Officers Hold S20,-
600 Worth She Brought.
Sneninl 81 rnited preaa Wirs

Special By United Press Wire.
.y New York, Dec. 8:-Customs Of
fieials here today state that II the at
tempt of Mrs. Theodore P. Shonts,
wife of the president of New York's
great marlborough system, to bring
$4,000 worth of tewelry into the
United States from Europe is proven
to have been a wtlful attempt to
avoid declaration of the jewels, the
charge of smuggling will be pre-
ferred against her. Otherwise the
jewels will be returned on payment
of duty.
Mrs. Shonts had in one of many
trunks a jewel case containing what
Deputy Surveyor John Raczkiewicz
estimated to be jewelry valued
abroad at about $4,000. She made
no mention Of it in her declaration;
also she made nc effort to conceal
1T. Mrs. Shonts said she had no in
tention OF cheating the government.
Among the jewelry was one pearl
necklace, one diamond necklace and a
diamond pendant, all of which Mrs.
Shonts admitted she had obtained
from a jeweler in Paris. She said she
supposed the jewels were not dutiable
because she had exchanged for them
other jewelry that had paid duty here
when originally imported or had been
manufactured here.
Collector Loeb and Surveyor Henry
will pass judgment on the matter.
The Jewels are being held.
In January, 1908, while Colonel Fow-
Ter was collector, a former dressmaker
In the family notified the custom
house that, as she said, there was
$4,000 worth of smuggled gowns In
the Shonts home. The elder daughter
was to be married soon to the Duke
de Chaulnes. Five sleuths Of the serv.
Ice were sent to the Shonts home by
Colonel Fowler while the family were
away, and they didn't do a thing but
tear the Shonts wardrobe to pieces for
inspection and appraisement.
Mr.. Shonts wasn't pleased with the
proceeding. Colonel Fowler made a
report to Secretary Cortelyou, and the
herd of the Interborough gave his YER
sion to President Roosevelt. He salts
fed the president and Mr.. Cortelyou
that there was no cause for the confs-
cation of the gowns, and Colonel Fow-
Ter dropped the case.

not only governor but also to assume
the reigns of leadership. AS things are
not lined up DR.. Wilson must stand or
fall as to the party leadership by the
election Of the United States Senator
by the legislature.
Those who presume to be close to
Senator Smith say that he will not
yield to the request of DR.. Wilson with
references to the senatorship. If this
proves to be true, and Smith stays in
the race or seeks to use his influence
to elect some one senator other than
MARITIME, it means the most spectacular
political fight that has ever been wit
messed in New Jersey and one which
will attract national interest, as the
outcome Of it will undoubtedly have
tremendous effect upon the~hext Presi-
Dental point of view.
IF Smith sets himself up against DR..
Wilson's conclusions of what party
honor and ~expediency require in the
disposition of the Senatorship, State
House politicians are almost a unit in
the opinion that the former will receive
such a political beating that he will be
stripped of all prestige and influence in
Democratic councils so far as the State
or Nation is concerned.
In the senatorial contest DR.. Wilson
standing for MARITIME, is fortified by
the tremendous power of public opin-
ion. As q matter of fact, it Is public
opinion, spontaneously asserting itself,
that has forced the governor-elect into
open Identification with those who have
been demanding all along that the
legislature should acquiesce in the Sc
lection of the candidate who received
the highest number of votes through
the direct primaries. 1t Is an open Sc
cret that DR.. Wilson has been reluctant
to assert himself in the way circum-
have finally impressed him as
being necessary. Now, however, it is
known that he is in the fight to the bit
ter end and will, if necessary, as a re-
suit of Mr.. Smiths obstinacy, carry it
in a public way,

COUN
MONEY BAD
Looked Good But Names
hisspelled.

New York, Dec. S.-A clever engraver
in Italy has been making five dollar
United States bills that have passed
many banks here. One Of his accom-
pliees has-been caught. The bills
were found to be counterfeit when q
magnifying glass showed that the Eng.
lish word treasury was spelled
~"treasnrg."
Caesar Paotetti, the accomplish, was
arrested after he had arrived here on
the Anchor line steamer Italia. On
Paotetti were found $500 flve-dolla1
counterfeit bills. According to the Sc
cret service officials, these bills were
made in Italy, and Paotetti merely
acted as the agent in bringing them
over here for disposition.
Five hundred of the bills were IN
loaded ON New York about a month
ago. Paotetti was the boss coal stoker
on the Italia and is charged with try
Ing to sell 500smore Of the bills to o
federal agent for 1915 in regular mon.
ey.
The counterfeit contains signatures
of the president and cashier of the
Mechanics and Metals bank, which
look real and which have passed even
through the windows of various New
York banks and business houses.
The quality of the paper, the scroll
work, the series numbers, will pass
for the real thing. The engraver's
mistake was the misspelled word
''treasnrg." The red and blue strands
of silk that well born bills from Wash.
ing show were copied so carefully
with ink that they appeared also to be
real nth one tore the bill across the
strand"
Before putting the bills In circula-
ton the distributors first took care to
crumple them and cover them with
CRIME.
1t was evident the notes had been
printed from engraved plates. The
federal agents decided there wasn't a
eounterfeiter among the American
crooks now at large with skill enough
to turn out so clever a piece of work.
Chief Richard Taylor, head of the To-
cal secret service Office, decided the
work probably had been done In Italy.
When the Italia got here the work
of the agents had progressed so sue
cessfully that Paotetti was caught In a
trap set for him. He is held In $15,.
600 bail.
