SULTAN BRINGING JEWELS
Question Is, if Ruler of Sulu viii

CUSTOMS MEN PERPLExED
He Is the Potentate of Jolo, Phil
ippines, Who Proposed to
Alice Roosevelt.

viii the Sultan of Sulu be held up by
the customs inspectors when he reaches
New York on Saturday on the American
liner St Louis? That is the interesting
in customs circles. The Sultan, who IS
one of the titular rulers Of the Philip
pines. though he exercises nc real power
under the United States government. has
with him half a million dollars worth of
precious stones. He has carried the
Jewels with him through Europe and is
desirous of disposing Of them. but did
not find a purchaser in Europe.
George J. Smyth. special Deputy Sur
vevor of the Port when asked last night
whether the Sultan would be allowed to
bring In the precious stones free of duty
said it vas a question for the Collector
to decide.
IF II is not decided before he reaches
here, you can bet the inspectors will hold
him up. Sultan or no Sultan" he re-
marked.
THE tariff allows the products Of the
Philippines to come in free of duty. but
it is a question whether the Sultan s
Jewels are a product Of the islands or
whether they We're brought there from
some other country-from India or from
South Africa continued MIR. Smyth.
Another question is whether they are
set or loose. If they are in their set
=
as heirlooms. but if he sells them here
do not see how he can escape paying
duty. OF course. he has had them since
before the Philippines became a part of
the United States, and it is a matter for
the customs solicitor to decide whether
or not that entities them to free entry"
The Philippines have some of the finest
pearl fisheries in the world, and it is
understood that most of the jewels
which the Sultan is bringing with him
are products of the waters about the
islands In that case they may be ad-
nitted as products of the Philippines

Kiram yesterday sent a wireless dis
patch to Washington, announcing his
coming and expressing a desire TO meet

Wood, who knows the Sultan we'll is
making the arrangements for his recep-
