hurried to attend a meeting OF the Inter-
borough directors she remained on the pier

Among the Jewels there was a diamond
studded DoWknot, which the inspectors val
ued at $4,000 The customs men expressed
themselves as quite positive that no duty
had ever been paid on the trinket, ard they
asked AIRS. Belmont 10 explain why she
had not declared this piece OF jswelry. She
refused 20 do so. and the trinket was sent
10 the Appraisers Stores for valuation
Later the customs authorities were H.
formed that Mrs. Belmont had foJ gotten
TO register the pin when she sliled for
Europe. a month ago, and that the duty
had been paid on II a number OF years ago,
when the pin was brought into this country.
Thereupon the trinket was sent back 10
Mrs. Belmont with apologies FOR the over
zeal OF the customs inspectors.
August Belmont heard Of the incident at
his banking Office in Nassau street as soon
as he returned from the InterborOugh
meeting. He appeared 10 be considerably
ANNOYED. and blamed the customs inspec-
tors for their oagerness TO discover Snug
gled iewelry.

VOTE TODAY ON VETO
Peers will Pass Bill on Third
Reading, Is the Forecast.
FIFTY NEW LORDS CERTAIN
Daily Telegraph Advocates Rea-
sonable Policy, but Morning
Post Is for No Surrender.

London. July 2o.-"The Daily Telegraph
a stanch Unionist newspaper, in to-day
editorial says not only that the House OF
Lords Will pass the third reading Of the
veto bill to-day without division, but that
when the government bill is returned 10
the upper chamber shorn OF the Lords
amendments, the Peers Will pass that also,
for the simple reason that there really is
no practicable choice" and because It
would form an evil and dangerous prece-
dent 70 bring the Crown into the struggle.
The Daily Telegraph" recognizes that It
would be impossible for the King 70 with
hold his consent II tho ministers requested
the creation OF peers.
Virtually the whole Unionist press has
now fallen into line with The Telegraph"
IN the admission that this is the only rea-
sonable policy for the Lords 70 follow, and
that the mo surrender policy would be
suicidal"

the Unionist leaders. including Mr. Bal

zon. Salisbury and others. were held yes
terday for the purpose OF making Anal ar
rangements for the coming debates.
The Prime Minister has postponed his
intended visit to Scotland on account of
the crisis, and urgent whips have been
issued TO all parties for Mondays sitting
Of the House OF Commons. on that date
Mr. Asquith will move the excelsior Of the
Lords amendments. and he is expected 10
make an important pronouncement on the
ministerial intentions.
According to persistent reports, what
ever happens. fifty new peers will be
created before the bill is sent back 10 the
House Of Lords as an earnest OF the gov
ernment's intentions should there still be
a disposition on the part OF the peers 70
display obduracy.
II is explained that the present govern
mcnt has caused the creation or much
fewer than the customary number OF
peerages in recent years and that there
