yesterday morning.
Knowles started out Of the Park Place

tracks have been undergoing repairs

His suspicion was more than justified.

SOCIETY GIRL SLUM VICTIM
Miss Tileston, Of Boston, Took
Fever in Charity Work.
lBy Telegraph 10 The Trihune.l


Boston, March 2i.-The recent death OF
Miss Eleanor Boles Tilcston, beautiful
and talented member Of tho Vincent
Club, who contracted scarlet fever while
doing settlement work i'm the South End,
has revealed the startling fact that
many of the daughters of the fashiona-
bic set Of Boston are daily going into
the poorer sections of this city and per-
haps risklng their lives for the sake Of
others.
These society women do active work.
They actually enter the homes Of the
people. talk with the children, encourage
the mothers and in many cases form
stanch friendships with the entire fam
lily without the beneficiaries knowing
that the gentle visitors represent the
buest blood of this city.
Those who arc daily working for the
care Of the sick and impoverished in
clude such daughters of prominent fam
lilies "a the Misses Marion II. Fenno,
Annie Endicott Nourse Eleanora Cool
:dge, Rosamond Bradley, Emily H. Stor-
or, Evelyn Thayer. Evelyn r. Sturgs,
Mary Curtis, Sarah Lawrence, Jane 3.
Hunuewell and Dorothy Dow.
Most Of them are indispensable figures
at all social events, but their lives are
far from being merely one of receptions
and dances. DAY after day they put in
some time working at settlement houses,
and their associates, as well as those for
whom they are working. are enthusiastic
in praise of their devotion.

Reno. New, March %.-The divorce case
Of Mrs. Margaret Hit Fox against Hugh
Corby Fox promises to be bitter fight.

the plaintiff, and lively controversy in

be countenanced and that the hearing must
start on April ?.
A local attorney for the defence, Hugh
Percy, declared the delay was caused by
the Illness Of the New York attorney, John
Mack. and by the time necessary for taking
forty dispositions. Those documents are
understood to be by many persons promi-
uent in society and club circles In New
York and elsewhere.
Judge Orr declared that Mr.. Percy should
90 on with the arguments on the question
Of aIimony pending a decision in the case
II the New York counsel was not ready in
ten days. MIR. Percy replied that he would
refuse and it then developed that he had
not yet received any payment on account Of
his services.

SMUGGLING PLOT FOUND
Gems Valued at $50, 600 Seized
by U. S. in Minneapolis.

Minneapolis March 2L-Diamonds and
iewelry valued at $4,000 have been seized
by customs officials in the vaults Of a
bank here. where the jewclry was on de-
post IN a private box according to infor-
nation received at the Federal Building.
The jewels are alleged TO have been fraud
ulently imported.
1t was impossible to-day TO learn who
the owners of the jewels are. II is under
stood, however. that the firm Is charged
with doing a large business In the Illegal
! importation of jewelry and that develop
ments may involve several men Of wealth
and prominence in Minneapolis and 81.
Paul.
The number Of years which this alleged
smuggling 2hain has been successfully op-
Grated has not been asCertained by the Gus
toms officials, but It is believed that ii has
been carried on for several years. There
fore the seizures made are alleged to In
volve only the jewels which were left un-
sold of the consignments received in the
last few months The system was operated,
it is said, IN this manner:
4 firm in Minneapolis would send man
to London with an order on the agency
OF the firm for a stipulated amount OF jew
elry After getting the jewelry, this man
would go TO Canada and get I'm touch with
tie Winnipeg agents OF the firm, who
would inform him whether he safely could
cross the line at that particular time. II
there was any suspicion that the man had
been Swallowed the jewelry was trans
ferred to another. and that person con-
tinued the journey unsupported and would
cross into Minnesota.
once in Minnesota, the man went directly
to Minneapolis, where he delivered his
load and made preparations for another
ocean trip. From the Minneapolis house
the jewclry was distributed throughout the
Northwest it is said.
Besides the Canadian channel II is be
lieved the firm also operated over the Mex
lean border but evidence in the latter case
is lacking. The customs officials mere OBJ
taincd a Clew TO the alleged Minneapolis
end Of the chain, IL has developed, ana
foreign agents of the customs service nave
since been working OH the case.
II Is said the authorities are working on
tho belief that the operators are residents
of New York, from which city they keen
in touch with firms in this city. Treasury
officials In Washington would not discuss
the case to-day, further than to say one
seizure has been made.
