Tricks Of Professionals.
All sorts of tricks are reSorted to by
professional smugglers to get their
wares through the ports without pay
ing the import toll One man confess
ed that he had smUggIed thousands of
dollars worth of diamonds in a coffin
which was supposed to contain the
corpse of his brother Smugglers have
been caught with secret cavities in the
heels of their shoes. Women Ipve
been discovered converting their bodies
into hugh spools, wound round and
round with precious laces and rare
silks. Others have concealed diamonds
in their hair or Secreted dutiable be-
longings in a multitude Of secret pock-
cts. In one case a smuggler trans
formed himself into a hunchback.
When he arrived at New York a man
who was going to the races that day,
and who wanted to touch a bunch back
for luck, put his hand on the back of
the seemingly afflicted traveller. He
concluded that the ''hunchy was not
real \ and ordered the man examined.
The lump proved to be a package of di-
Almonds.
At the customs houses a piece Of
goods may be linen today and cotton
tomorrow. The law provides that tex
tiles shall be rated according to the
classification of their ingredient of
principal value. In the fluctuations Of
the market linen thread may be worth
more one day and cotton thread more
the next. The manufacturer makes
goods which are approximately half
linen and half cotton and if linen is up
they will come in as linen If cotton
is the higher they will be rated as cot
ton.
Not all goods are brought into the
even as low as their real value. A dis
honest importer of paintings. knowing
that there are great many rich Amer
leans whose only knowledge of art is
the price mark. values his daubs at
thousands of dollars. The government
has no other alternative than to Sccept
his valuation. When he attempts to
make a sale he points with pride to the
fact that even the customs house put
high value upon his wares. This very
often clinches the bargain. He is per-
mitted by the government to keep his
paintings in bond for year. and to
send them back to Europe if they are
not sold at the end of that time, after
paying a duty of one percent.
