SOCIETY SHADOWED
IN DUTY FRAUDS
Ten Men and Women Under
Surveillance in New York.

Pending official developments, ten
men and women of social standing
are now under surveillance in New
York city, and the names of a score
more are on the list of Collector Loeb
in the 100000 Jenkins smuggling
case, ramifications of which are said
to involve prominent New York finan-
cial men and to have cost the United
States millions in customs losses.
Collector Loeb has received infor-
nation that the underground channel,
through which Mrs. Helen d. Jenkins
and others brought goods of enormous
value into this country duty free, is
still open and that members of his
staff are implicated in the scheme.
The collector said that he is sure
of his facts, but he admitted that it
might be difficult to prove them, and
he is waiting warily until he has his
case in satisfactory shape. AS matters
stand now, action against six inspec
tors is likely. Two and possibly more
customs officers are said to be in the
plot, which had its inception several
years ago. These officers received, it
is said 800 for every trunk they
passed with only casual inspection.
The New York leader in the oper-
ations not only was able to smuggle
valuable goods, including much jew
elry, for himself, but thousands of
dollars worth of dutiable stuff for 9TH
ers, who became in this way obligated
to him.
District Attorney Wise is reticent
regarding the case, but it is feared
the premature publicity will hinder
the indictment of the head of the
smuggling conspiracy.
There will be no compromise in the
Jenkins smuggling case. Deputy Sur
veyor Parr is the authority for the
statement that he learned of the snug
gled goods some time before he con-
fronted Mrs. Jenkins in the matter.

MORMON Chief
ON The STAND
Joseph Smith Tells Of Deals
With Sugar Trust.
1HoW THE CHURCH GOT IN

Many Women Hear Prophet Tell How
His Church Is Tied Up With Big
Combine.
The story of the alliance of the Nor
mon church and the Havemeyer inter-
ests in the beet sugar business was
told and the deal characterized as en-
tirely legal by Joseph p. Smith, presi-
dent of the Mormon church and of the
Utah-Idaho Sugar company, before the
house sugar trust" investigating COM
mittee.
A score or more women were pres
ent. Mr.. Smith was escorted to the
committee room by Bishops Thomas
r. Cutler and c. N. Nibley, II. w.
Young, grandson of Brigham Young,
and Representative Joseph Howell, the
only Mormon member of the house.
The head of the church explained
how Mormon affairs are conducted,
how its funds come principally from
the tithes of its people, how they are
Systematically accounted for. He as
serted that the interests of the Nor
mon people are safeguarded at all
times.
Mr.. Smith testified that it was not
the general practice of the church to
make business investments, that the
sugar business was its largest invest
ment, and that was entered upon to
help the Mormon people. He emphati-
cally denied that the church had any
stock in the American Sugar Refining
company.
why haven't you folks bought out
the Havemeyer interests?" asked Rep
resentative Raker, of California. I'VE
haven't the money"
you knew Havemeyer was a very
powerful man in the business world
and you were glad to get him inter
ested in your business, weren't you?"
I'VE were only interested In getting
his money"
'Have you any official connection
asked Mr.. Hardwick. Il am president
of the company" replied Mr.. Smith.
"Do you own any stock?" Yes, sir;
l own about 5000 shares individually"
"Do you own any stock in repre-
sentative capacity?" Yes; hold
49,S15 shares for the church. The title
is held in the name of Joseph F.
Smith, trustee"
Mr.. Smith said the church became
interested in the Utah Sugar company
when many people who subscribed
failed to pay for the stock, and the
company, under bond to complete
beet sugar factory, was unable to do
it. The church was appealed to by the
stockholders to assist, which it did, to
the extent of $4,000
Does the Utah-Idaho company pay
dividends?" Yes; seven per cent"
How is that dividend used by the
church," "In promoting it's religious
interests"
FIe seemed to know little of the
Havemeyer proposition. 1t was nego-
tiated, he thought, by Thomas r. Cut
Ter, Mormon and manager of the
Utah-Idaho company
Mr.. Smith could give no figures as
to the cost per pound of beet sugar,
the cost of machinery and the number
of acres in cultivation.
"Do you regard this combination as
being in restraint of trader" 81 regard
it as being extension of trade. 1t has
enhanced the value of our farms; 1t
has made possible the cheaper pro-
duction of beets, and 1t has proved one
of the greatest blessings ever visited
upon Utah and Idaho. do not think

TARIFF BILLS MAY
PRECEDE PACT
Tang|e In Senate Sends Meas
ure Back to Committee.
WON'T FIX time TO VOTE

Senator Penrose's Attempt to Have
Fate Of Canadian Reciprocity De.
cided on July "a Fails.
The tension that exists in the sen.
ate over the reciprocity measure was
emphasized by incidents that occurred
In the confused proceedings.
The session began with an unsuc-
cessful attempt by Chairman Penrose,
of the finance committee, to obtain an
agreement for vote on reciprocity
July "a. on the wool bill July 26, and
free list bill July 2S. Friends of reci-
procity will insist upon coupling all
three measures In any agreement to
vote.
After refusing to permit such an ar.
rangement, the opponents Of the reci.
procity bill allowed that measure to
advance one important parliamentary
step before they realized what had
happened. For quarter of an hour
the senate was in executive session.
At its conclusion, no one being ready
to speak on the measure. and fo
ing the parliamentary custom of s
body. Vice President Sherman 80.
nounced that the bill would be report.
ed from the committee of the whole
to the senate.
The bill actually passed through al,
the stages of being reported to the
senate before members realized what
was going on. While under consider.
alton in the committee of the whole
the measure could be amended, but
could not be voted upon. In the senate
1t could be brought to a final vote at
any time. Senator'S Nelson. Bristow,
Clapp and Bailey Joined in the protest
that arose when 1t was found what
had happened to the bill.
At first Senator Penrose objected to
having the measure reinstated In the
committee of the whole. He said the
ana senase ID had is s53Mn hH 6alsBpsteenp
and had rejected his proposal for a
definite time for a vote on the meas
ure. He therefore thought no backward
step should be taken.
Friends of the bill on the Demo-
cratic side, led by Senators Stone and
Bacon, said the senate had evidently
been off its guard, and had permitted
the bill to be advanced unintention-
ally. Senator Penrose finally consent
ed to having 1t restored to its former
status.
The feeling that developed over this
incident was not so marked as that
which greeted Senator Penrose's at
tempt to fix a time for the vote on
the bills Insurgents objected to any
definite date for the reciprocity vote;
and the finance committee was extri-
Gated from the embarrassing position
of having the other votes determined
by an objection from Senator Smoot.
Several Democrats and insurgents
would have welcomed the fixing of the
other two dates. so that the tariff bills
could be forced up to President Taft
ahead of the reciprocity bill and the
latter held back as means of forcing
his signature to the others.
The Penrose request will be renew
ed from time to time and whenever
conditions seem favorable. Ultimately
the friends of reciprocity may consent
to change the order, allowing the vote
on the tariff bills to come first, but
they will not do so at present, nor In
taking this position will they consent
for one to go through without the
others
