now in he hands of the customs au-
thoritics. and ii became known TO
night that w. G.. Parks. customs

Must Stand Trial.
He would fix no value upon them
on the ground that they were entitled
to free entry as the effects of an
American citizen. who had died abroad
The government thought otherwise
and ordered the goods TO the public
stores. Park is suspended TO stand
trial on a charge of visiting an incom-
ing passenger. whose baggage he had
examined ON the pier. No charge OF
bribery is made.
Mr. Tilley said:
Il cannot understand why the ef-
fects of the countess should be held.
There is nothing that ! care to say
about the case beyond the TACT that
made no attempt to bring them in
secretly"
When the countess died The agents
Of the treasury heard her effects were
worth one million and from That time

of this scrt is by insisting on Jail SEN

Hitherto the government officials

plate a different course. The question
Of how to deal with women who DEFY
