PRISON FOR
SMUGGLERS
Fine and Forfeiture Of Goods
No Deterrent to
the Rich
DECLARES DEPUTY
SURVEYOR G. ]. SMYTH

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK. Sept. 17-Smuggling
by the very rich and socially prOmin-
ent Will never be stopped at the port
of New York until some shining lights
are given prison sentences as an eX-
ample.
That is the opinion of Deputy Sur
veyor George j. Smyth, before whom
most of the persons taken for failure
to declare dutiable goods are taken.
Payment of a fine and forfeiture of
the smuggled goods is no deterrent,
he says, and the Offices of the sur
veyor and collector of the part are
TO work in unison to have some of
the many wealthy persons now await
ing trial not only fined but given a
prison sentence should they be con-
victed. -
As soon as Collector Loeb returns
from his hunting trip in the Rockies
there will be conference between the
surveyor, General Nelson H. Henry,
the Collector and District Attorney
Wise Plans for pushing the most
/ fragrant violations will then be laid
and the cases relentlessly prosecuted.
When convictions are obtained the
district attorney will demand peni-
| tentiary sentences. If he gets his
wish. and he is very likely to in
the Federal Court, the port officials
believe society smuggling will get a
death blow.
Because of the activity of the Gus
toms officials, it is expected that the
total, second and steerage class pas
lsengers will exceed the total collected
for the port in the year 1909.
The collections for the first half OF
September already are more thar
100000 ahead of the entire month oi
September, 1909. IL is believed by
the port officials that the total col
lections for the port OF New Yorl
for the current year will total 81,
l211.357.

NO CONSOLIDATION
OF THE WOODMEN
Two Camp Refuse To Join With
Third and Suggestion May
Be Dropped

There will be no consolidation of
the camps of the Modern Woodmen
of America. in this city, at least not
for some time. This question was de-
cided last night at a meeting of the
Wilmington Camp, No. 9555, the ma
jority of the members of this camp
voting against the consolidation. The
majority was sufficiently large TO
make it plain that the question will
not be brought up again in the near
futu~e
For some time past there was a
movement on foot to consolidate the
three camps in the city, namely VIII
mington Camp, No. 9555; Jacobs
Camp, No 1921, and Delaware Camp
No. 961S, the proposition having orig
mated in Jacobs Camp.
A meeting of Delaware Camp was
held on last Wednesday night, tn
members voting unanimously against
the consolidation, and last night the
question was taken up by Whining
ton Camp.
Wilmington Camp would favor a
consolidation, provided a new name
would be chosen for the combined
camps, but Jacobs Camp wants to re-
tain it's present name and this does
not meet with the approval of the
others. There has been keen rivalry
among the three camps in the past,
and banner which was offered by the
Grand Camp for the local camp max
ing most gains in membership In the
year was the prize for which they
have been striving. Wilmington
Camp has held this banner two con-
secutive years.
The advocates of the consolidation
offered the argument that by com
bining the three camps better at
tendance at the meetings would re.
suit and the expense of maintaining
the three camps would be materially
lessened. Members of the Whining
ton and Delaware Camps, however
could not see 1t in this light.
