FURTHER CUSTOMS
FRAUDS ALLEGED
importers Of Oriental Goods Ua-
der Arrest at Frisco

San Francisco, Jan. 15.-Serious
charges of attempting to defraud the
United States customs by undervalua-
tons of imports occasioned the arrest
of two prominent importers Of Orien'
tai goods IL this city. The prisoners
are Carl j. Cutting, who has a store in
this city, and w. A. Wilson of Oak
land, who operates between this port
and Yokohama as an importer and tea
expert.
A secret agent sent to Japan by the
customs department last year is said
to have laid the foundation Of the
present prosecution. Upon his advice
that imports were being marked far
below their value shipments of Orien.
tai art goods to Cuttings store were
held at the local customs house.
Shipments valued by the importer at
$4,000 are involved in the present pro.
ceedings, but customs officials express
the belief that wholesale frauds in the
differentiation of imports from the
Orient have been perpetrated in the
last few years. They estimate the
governments loss by these operations
at 100000 a year.

WOMEN LEAD REGIMENTS
IN THE GERMAN ARMY.
The Empsror's Sister and Daughter

Y German Socialist newspapers note a
striking contrast between Emperor

conragcd by him for his sister and his

sions are invited to don the uniform
of some regiment or other and lead it
past for the emperor's inspection.
The empress herself. as is we'll
known. has no ambition to exhibit her
self in uniform. She is chief of a
regiment of fusiliers, yet the nearest
she usually gets to wearing anything
like uniform is the putting on ut

pretty costume made something like
the uniform of cuirassiers. with Il

circles that the empress and crown
princess do not get on so well togeth-
err, to put it politely, as do the empress
and Princess Eitel. whose domestic
tastes are very similar.
BY far the handsomest feminine fig
ure in German military uniform is the

Philadelphia. jan 15.-Splashed
with the traditional bottle of cham.
payne the battleship Arkansas, the
largest warship ever constructed in
this country, was launched from the
yards of the New York Shipbuilding
company at Camden, N. J. Miss Mary
Macon, daughter of Representative
Robert B. Macon of Helena, Ark, was
the sponsor for the ship.
There was one unusual feature to
the launching, the absence of an off,
cial delegation representing the state
government of Arkansas. The failure
of Governor Donaghey or other official
representatives to attend was due to
q controversy between the governor
and the navy department at Washing

governor wanting the launching post.

over armor, SO feet rs inches; draft,
% feet, 6 inches; displacement, $4,000
tons.
The contract for the ship calls for a
speed Of 20h knots an hour.
When complete the Arkansas will
have the greatest gun power in broad
side fire OF any ship afloat The main
armament will consist of twelve

of twenty one five-inch rapid fire guns.
There will also be two submerged tor

PRESIDENT WILL
REPR|MAND SIMS
Naval. Officer Went Too Far In
London Speech
PLEDGED AID TO ENGLAND
Chief Executive Declares That Offense
Was So Conspicuous That Re.
proof Should Be Equally So.

Washington, Jan. 1i.-President
Taft has decided that Commander w.
s. Sims, the United States naval Off.
Ger who, at recent dinner given in
London by the mayor of that city, de-
clared that if Great Britain ever was
seriously threatened she could depend
on every man, every dollar, every
drop of blood" in this country. should
be publicly reprimanded.
His offense has been so conspic-
uous." said the president in his letter
to Secretary of the Navy Meyer, di.
recting the reprimand, that the &C.
ton of the department in reproving 1t
should be equally So"
The president says that whenever
an officer of the American navy rs
called upon in foreign country. to
speak in public, so that what he says
will necessarily be brought to the at
tention of the people Of other foreign
countries, it is his obvious duty to
avoid invidious comparisons and to
limit his speech and his expressions Of
friendship for the country whose guest
he is to language that will not indicate
lack of friendship toward other coun-
tries.
THE navy is used much as an in
strument of peace. One of the chief
functions that it's officers perform
when they visit foreign ports is the
representative one of conveying to all
nations the good will of the United
States. They are under special obliga-
tons to see to it that what they do or
shall say shall not embarrass their
government in foreign nations
Commander Sims cannot escape
censure, the president holds, ION the
ground that what he said was mere
expression of his personal opinion; un.
der the circumstances he must speak
as an. official representative and he
should have known that the words he
used would at once call for severe
comment in other countries than Grea
Britain and might involve this 60,
eminent in explanations and disclaim.
