MORE STEALS FROM
UNCLE SANS PURSE
Another Customs Scandal Re-
ported From New York.
RUNS into THE MILLIONS

Collector Loeb Finds That Certain
Importers Have Been Getting Re-
bates and Thereby Robbina United
States Government Of Large Sums.
Another alleged leakage in the Gus.
toms service, whereby 1t is estimat'
ed that duties ranging into the mil
lions have been diverted from the
federal treasury, is being investigat'
ed by William Loeb, Jr., collector OF
the port of New York. The inquiry
deals with rebates allowed importers
of fruits on shipments reported as
decayed or unfit for market.
Owing to the fact that the num-
Der of inspectors was too small to
permit examination Of all cargoes an
agreement was reached some time
ago between importers and the Gus
toms officials whereby, II an allow
ance for decay was claimed, an In
spection of only Ave per cent Of the
cargo was made, but percentage OF
the decay found in this portion alone
applied to the entire cargo. 1t Is now
claimed that frequently the rebates
thus allowed were excessive.
Rebates on lemons are said to rep
resent the greatest loss and unoffi.
cial estimates of the amount turned
from the treasury on this item alone
since the Mckinley tariff law
became effective, range from $500
to 100000. The duty paid on lem
ons since 1898 exceeds s1S,0O0,000.
