FRANCE CALLS Il
A SPY SYSTEM
U. S. Secret Agents in That
Country.
THEIR METHODS EXPOSED
Henry Monroe, Paris Banker, Makes
Revelations in An Appeal Against
Jail Sentence and
Fine,

Parls.-The opinion prevails here that
United States Treasury agents would in
future be excluded from France be-
cause of the exposure Of their methods
in the course of an appeal by Henry
Monroe, banker. against jail SEN
tence and fine for refusing to disclose
the amounts paid in France by Miss
Dolan Of Brookline, Mass, for dresses
seized by the American customs on
their arrival in Boston.
The French foreign Office some time
ago made representations to the
State Department at Washington in
regard to the irregularities Of the
United States in maintaining secret
agents in France who were not recog-
nized by the American Embassy or
Consulate General.
Much comment, some of II in angry
terms,a appeared in the press about
what Is called the business spy sys-
TEN of the United States"
Andre Lesourd, Miss Dolan's coun-
sci, declared that the American Gus
toms officials maintained in Paris
what amounted to fiscal espionage
agency. The purchasers were
shadowed by spies, he said. French
export houses were called upon to
permit all books to be examined, and
if the demand was refused, goods
destined for the United States were
held up.
NJ. Lesourd said that lace maker
with whom Miss Dolan dealt, on re-
turning to his office found woman
there making entries from his books.
She at first pretended to be friend
of Miss Dolan, but later admitted
that she had come from the treasury
agent. In n scufile which ensued,
NJ. Lesourd said papers fell from the
woman's bag on which Miss Dolan's
purchases had been copied. The lace
maker later received letter Of COM
plant from the treasury agent, accord
ing to NJ. Lesourd and one from a
lawyer demanding Is francs damages
