CUSTOMS OFFICERS
!. HELPED SMUGGLE
William Loeb, Collector Of Customs
Begins Investigation.
STOLEN JEWELS START TROUBLE
Recovery Of Mrs. Jenklns' Flnery LED
to Inquiry az to How They Got
Into America-Wealthy
Men implicated.

New York, June 2S.-William Loeb
Jr., collector Of customs, has begun
an investigation through which he
hopes to learn what completely, II
any, customs men had In smuggling
the Jewels Of Mrs. Helen Dwelle
jenkins through this port In the
spring Of 1909. The jewels are said
to be worth 100000.
The names Of Nathan Allen, a
leather manufacturer Of Kenosha,
Wis, and John r. Collins, a coal mer'
chant Of Nashville, Tenn, are men
tioned here in one story Of the al
legged smuggling Of the Jewels A
New York banker and broker is men
toned In the same story.
Mrs. jenkins asserts that the
jewelry was given her by Western
millionaire, who. she alleges, knew
It had been struggled.
William j. Sutherland, the man
who played the leading role In the
long chase that followed the theft
of the Jewels from the Hotel Lorraine
In New York, told Of the events that
led up to the arrest Of Charles
Rosenthal and two others In the
Saratoga hotel here last year. Ros-
snthal confessed to Sutherland that
he had planned the robbery as he
stood penniless at the entrance to the
New York hotel and the bejeweled
Mrs. Jenkins passed, returning from
party.
He interested two others, like him
self, ex.convicts, in the project. The
three entered the jenkins apartment
with skeleton keys and took the dia'
monds from trunk. A safe deposit
box in Philadelphia was the first
place the loot was hidden. Later 1t
was stored in a similar manner In
Chicago, when negotiations for the
sale of the stolen jewels were opened
with Chicago ieweler.
Sutherland then located the three
men at the Saratoga. When they
we're arrested iewelry valued at $4S,-
900 was recovered, The setting of
five pieces of jewelry that had been
disposed of previously led experts to
believe that the total value Of the
stolen property was close to $4,000.
The three thieves were released, Mrs.
Jenkins declining to prosecute.

LUMBER TRUST MADE PRICES
WHITE ADMITS cHAiRMANsHIP
OF PRICE COMMITTEE.
Called II Committee on Values, But
Says IL Was Only to Collect
information.

Jefferson City, June Isl. B. White
of Kansas City, general manager OF
the Missouri Land and Lumber Ex-
change company, was the principal
witness in the states lumber trust
suit. Mr.. White admitted that he was
chairman for time Of the price list
committee by which, the state al
leges, the members Of Southern Lum-
Der Manufacturers, now the Yellow
Pine Manufacturers association,
were advised what prices were to be
charged for lumber. He called this
committee the committee on values,
but said that he attended only one OF
its meetings. He said Its object was
to collect information as to the prices
obtained for lumber, and not to fix
prices.
Atkinson sprung surprise by intro
ducing a telegram from White to
George X. Smith, secretary OF the
Southern Lumbermen's association,
while the association was in session
at Memphis in 1905, in which White
used this language:
Hold the list, we are advancing as
follows"
what did you mean by holding fast
to the list?"
II presume / meant to convey the
information that lumber conditions
we're getting better and that prices
should advance. My telegram was to
advise the members Of the associ-
alton that prices should be held up"
he said.

very rich, averaging about S.5 per
cent butter fat. AS beef producers,
this breed ranks high for dairy
breed. The calves are large at birth,
they grow rapidly, and make excellent
veal. The Holstein is well adapted
for supplying milk for cities or fac
tories on account Of the high yield
and average per cent Of butter fat.
In comparing the breeds Of dairy
COWS and classifying them, we have
them ranking as follows: With ref
erence to amount Of milk produced:
Holstein, Ayrshire, Guernsey, Jersey
With reference to richness Of milk
produced: Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire.
Holstein. With reference to color OF
milk: Guernsey, Jersey, Ayrshire.
Holstein. With reference to size:
Holstein, Ayrshire, Guernsey, Jersey.
With reference TO early maturing
qualities: Jersey, Guernsey, Ayrshire
Holstein.
With reference to the amount OF
butter fat produced, there is very little
difference between the breeds. There
is more difference between individual
cows Of the same breed than between
the breeds. Individual cows Of the
Jersey, Guernsey and HOlstein breeds
have made over 1000 pounds Of but
ter in one year and one COW Of the
Ayrshire breed has made over $50
pounds In one year.

Ayrshire and Holstein breeds. All Of
the named breeds are Of foreign
origin but representatives of each are
to be found in almost every state III
this country. Following is q short
description Of the cattle Of these
breeds.
Jerseys.
The Jersey is,. perhaps. the most
popular breed of dairy cattle in the
United States. There have been more
cattle registered from this breed than
Of any other. In size, they are small /;
the cows weigh from 800 to 1,0OC
pounds, when mature. The native
home Of this breed is Jersey Island
the largest in the group Of the Chan.

fattened and sold for beef, as there
is a general prejudice among stock
buyers against the dairy breeds for
beef, especially in the case Of Jer'
seys and Guernseys. In form, the
Ayrshire does not show the extreme
angular dairy type as exhibited by
high class Jerseys or Holsteins They
are somewhat smoother over the
shoulders, back and hips and show
slightly more beef type, especially In
rear quarters. The Ayrshire cow 10
especially noted for her symmetrical
udder. The milk has an average COM
position Of butter fat which adapts
this breed for use in the production
Of market milk. These cattle are ex-
cellent rustlers, good breeders, and
the calves are very strong and
healthy.
AoIsteIns.
This breed originated in Holland
and has been bred in this region for
at least 1000 years. During this time
there has been very little, if any, mix
ing with outside blood. Since an
clent times, Holland has been noted
for its butter, cheese and immense
oxen. The Holsteins are the largest
of the dairy breeds. The average
weight of the mature COW is 1900
pounds; but individual cows often
weigh 1,4O0 or more pounds. The
color markings are black and white.
AS a rule, the breeders prefer ami
mails on which the colors are evenly
divided. The cows have good dispo-
sitions and are not very easily fright
ened at any sudden disturbance.
AS milk producers, the Holstein
cows are unexcelled. They produce
more milk and at a less cost per 100
pounds than any other breed. The
largest amount ever produced in one
day by one COW was 1928 pounds, or
about go quarts. The milk is not

Foreign stocks dropped 5000, ,OOO pounds in the first two weeks of this month, and there is no reason to suppose that they will not show further decrease in the last two. At the same time, ex- ports from this country have been heavy, and with the large sale pre- viously made for delivery in this month domestic stocks should show a decrease. It is probable that the worlds surplus stock of copper, of August 1st, will, for the first time since June, 1909, be less than 3OO,OOO,- 900 pounds. There will probably be plenty of copper to go around. but the steady strengthening of its statistical position is gratifying to all interested in the productive end.-Boston Finan- cial News.
