PAYS DUTY ON OLD CLOTHES
Novel Incident in Present Rigid
Customs Endorsements.

After being held three hours on the
White Star pier, Miss Gertrude Van Pelt,
who arrived on the Teutonic last night.
was permitted by the customs men TO
start for Philadelphia, upon agreeing TO
pay S24O duty on Partisan gowns
brought into this country a year ago.
When Miss Van Pelt. who is a mem
Der OF Philadelphia's society. returned
last year she declared only 800 the
amount allowed TO enter duty free. al
though according 10 her own admission
last night she brought new gowns at
that tine worth more than $500. This
came out last night after Inspector A
Z. Meyer made the discovery that
handsome tailored suit Of a rich purple
which she wore on this years return
trip was alone worth S120. $40 in excess
Of the value she had placed on all her
foreign purchases on this last trip.
Miss Van Pelt said she did not include
that suit in her declarations, as well as
others that were found in her trunks.
because she bought them last year and
they had been worn.
How much duty did you pay then -
questioned the Inspector.
Then Miss Van Pelt confessed that she
had brought the gowns In year ago
without declaring them. and upon Acting
Deputy Surveyor John O'Connor being
called into the case she agreed % pay a
duty Of S240, which represented slight
reduction because Of the fact that the
gowns bought a year ago had depreciat-
ed in value from wear. Thus she was
able 70 avoid a charge Of smuggling.

STATEMENT FROM HEARST
Gables Reply to Charges Made in
Mayor Gaynor's Letter.

The New York American" sent out
last night the following cabIed message
from William R. Hearst. in response TO
a request for a statement in reply to the
charges of Mayor Gaynor made in his
letter TO his sister. Miss Mary E. Gay
nor, OF Utica:
Enghien-le les Bains. September 81.
1 am exceedingly sorry that Mayor
Gaynor was shot, and if Mayor Gaynor
has said what you tell me can only add
that l am exceedingly sorry that his in
JUrieS have affected his mind.
After his apparent recovery Mayor
Gaynor expressed the hope that his i'll
ness would make better man of him.
Many others entertained the same
hope but unfortunately his experience
did not abate his evil temper or his lying
tongue. The criticism of some of Mayor
Gaynor's public acts by the Hearst pa
pers has been temperate and truthful.
dlgnihed and deserved, unprejudiCed and
in the public interest.
A public man who would make false
accusation in the attempt 10 suppress
all public criticism of his acts is a man
who is afraid or ashamed TO have atten-
ton called 10 the part he is performing
The World" has persistently and per
tlnently asked: Who is the masked man
who is employing Maurice Minton TO
canvass for Gaynor for Governor ?''
VINO is the masked man who is supply
ing the cash in the attempt TO nominate
Mayor Gaynor for GOVERNOR"
The World" might further ask. with
perfect propriety: Who usually employs
Maurice Minton in politics?" who
owns large green automobile and some
times lends il 10 his judicial friends?"
Who would particularly like to control
the Public Service Commission in the
matter of new subWavs2
Who would naturally make every ef-
fort 10 nominate for Governor a man
who before his election as Mayor had
said that the people ought to build the
ciared that the corrupt and incompetent
Interborough ought 10 build the new
subways2
In asking all these questions The
World" would be acting in strict. &C
-cordsnce with the public interest, and
guilty knowledge and guilty dread Of
the truth.
The Hearst newspapers and all honest
newspapers viii continue to hold public
men 10 their public pledges and to their
public duty.
The appalling conditions lately re-
vealed at Albany. at Pittsburg. in Call
fornia- in Illinois. in Mississippi show
the absolute necessity of public vigi-
lance, and indicate the extent Of the cor
rUption that would prevail If news
paper publicitv-the one power that

The Hearst newspapers will continue
TO exercise a public censorship which I

ways fearless.

ton process a few months ago IAN
guishes in a cell in the LackaWanna
County Jail He was committed to-day
on charges of forgery and false pre-
tence preferred by DIR. Lange.
Immediately after Gleason was ar
rested last Friday he informed A O.
Granger. a wealthy Philadelphian- OF
his plight. and Granger came to Scran-
ton and interested himself in 'GleasOn's
behalf. 1t seems TINT prior to his ar
rest Gleason had conducted number of
experiments. at which Granger was
present and had practically convinced
him that ne could transmute base metals
into silver
After Gleason had been held in $4,000
bail on the Lange charges Granger pre-
vailed upon the authorities TO allow the
chemist to remain in the custody of a
constable long enough TO perform an
other experiment in the presence of two
other chemists selected by Granger. If
they were convinced of the genuineness
of the process Granger would go the
limit in getting Gleason out of his
trouble. The experiment. was performed
last night, and as Gleason failed to sat
isfy the experts Granger withdrew and
allowed the professed alchemist TO go to
Jail
The charges against Gleason are
rather hazy, but DR.. Lange claims that
they have no connection with his trans
mutation process He says Gleason pro
cured $4,000 from him on forged
note.
