ment TO the federal judiciary of the
Second Circuit, saying:
Il deeply deplore the recent senti-
ment that has operated upon the public
mind TO create suspicion of and TO cast
dscredit upon the bench. But greater
than the injustice TO the individuals IS
the danger to our institutions. No more
dangerous attack upon our general wei
fare has ever been set afoot And none
should be more quickly stamped out.

Customs Men Suspicious.

The fact that the women made out
declaration blanks listing wearing ap-
parel aggregating an average Of less
than $500 for each of the three declara-
tions. is taken by the customs officials
as an indication that other purchases
made abroad should rightfully have
been included with the goods declared.
II was only after the examining in
spector had found undeclared articles
in the Tillmann baggage that Deputy
Surveyors O'Connor and Harris we're
called into the examination. n rigid
inquiry resulted in the women giving
up the undeclared jewelry.
As soon as the inspectors and ap-
praisers { / that the jewels and tn
cry would ultimately represent a value
of more than 1000 or 5000 II was de-
cided to send all the Tillmann baggage
to the Appraisers stores. The women
were permitted to take their hand bag
gage to the Hotel Plaza on the promise
that they would appear for examination
at the Custom House yesterday.
Meanwhile Mrs. Tillmann engaged
counsel. who will try TO prove that
there was no attempt TO smugSlc the
detained goods.
The women were excused from the
hearing yesterday. but will appear
either to-day or Wednesday, No effort
was made by the customs officials 40

Got Through Police Lines.

Tonight, however. while the police
detail was waiting for the arrival Of its
relief squad, the plotters succeeded in
setting their trap on stretch of road
over which the Buffalo express. east
bound, had passed twenty-five minutes
earlier.
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn admitted to
a Tribune reporter to-day that en-
ployes of the Weidmann dye mills had
complained TO the Industrial Workers
Of the World In the past that Erie
Railroad trains were unloading "scabs"
at the mills mornings and stopping TO
take them away in the evening. She
admitted this after she had studied a
copy of threatening letter which the
officials OF the road received from the
strikers on Tuesday. All the Industrial
Workers of the World agitators on
Sunday said the attempted wreck OF
the Chicago express near the Weld
mann mill on Saturday evening was a
plant, cooked up by the capitalist
classes TO put the Industrial Workers
OF the World in a hole"
II am positive that letter was not
sent by any member of our organiza-
ton" said Miss Flynn. ''The Indus
trial Workers of the World knew moth
ing about ii, anyway. OF course. we
are not responsible for the work of
cranks. 1t may be tb IL some fanatic
among the strikers -erft the letter. but
can't believe that oui members tried
TO wreck train"

Says Bronx Politician, Who
Wants an Early Trial,
as Does District At
torney Whitman.

The eloquence of state Senator Ste
phen j. Stilwell. which brought about
an acquittal when he was tried before
the Senate, had no effect on the grand
jury. Stilwell was indicted yesterday
for bribery i'm the same case which
was heard before the Senate and re-
suited in his exoneration by that body.
lie surrendered himself and was
paroled by Justice Seabury in the
Criminal Branch Of the Supreme Court
until to-day, when he is to furnish
5000 bail.
I'm going to fight this thing right
through to the finish" said Stilwell
after he left Justice Seabury's court.
and when it's all over-well, you'll
see what the result will be-"
Senator Stilwell said il made no diff
ference to him when he was tried and
that the sooner the case was called the
better he would be pleased. District
Attorney Whitman is anxious TO try
the case during tho May term before
Justice Seabury. and If Stilwell's views
are unchanged after he has consulted
with counsel his trial will probably be
moved for May 80.
Delay in Surrender.
Arrangements had been made for
Senator Stilwell to surrender himself
at . o'clock yesterday afternoon. Two
o'clock came and Charles c. Mott, jr.,
and Milard II. Ellison. assistant dis
trict attorneys in charge Of the case,
appeared in court. They. waited and

Stilwell's office. They were told he
had gone TO Mount Vernon. He did
not get TO court until after o'clock.
and it was said to be Justice Seabury's
intention TO issue "a bench warrant for

adjournment was taken.
Senator Stllwell was accompanied py

Stilwell. however. did most OF the talk

said. in an effort 10 consult with his
counsel. Senator McClelland. who was

that bail be fixed In a reasonable sum
and that your honor parole me until
tomorrow. when l shall be prepared
10 furnish it,"
Mr.. Mott asked that bail be fixed in
$1,000. and Senator Stilwell made no
objection.
Il thank your honor; | thank you

had been grarted.

Bio Case for McAdoo.

The case, it is said, will be ono of the
largest that has come TO this port since
Secretary McAdoo took office.
In previous cases when undeclared
articles have been taken from passen-
gers on the piers the customs officials
refused to accept the plea Of ignorance
Of the law. Instructions relative to the
declaration of foreign purchases are
printed on the declaration blanks, and
TO obviate indecision on the part of
travellers in filling out the blanks the
government distributes free TO all
transatlantic and foreign service
steamships bundles of folders, which
explain the law simply and briefly.
Mrs. Frederick Tillmann, Jr, is the
wife OF the president of Tillmann &
Bendel. the largest wholesale grocery
company i'm San Francisco. The firm
was esta blshed almost fifty years ago
by Frederick Tillmann. who recently
retired from the firm in favor OF his
son. Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Tillmann,

MILLS NOT SLAYER OF
 PHILIP MASTERING

Police investigation into a current rumor that Edward Mills, formerly an inmate in the Bridgeport Orphan asy- lum had confessed to the murder of little Philip Mastriano several years ago, is said to have absolutely dis proved it's truth.
 Some weeks ago, such a report. emenating from a New York News boys Lodging House, reached head quarters and Detective Sergeant Ed ward Cronin was sent to that city. Mills made many statements, among them the one which became broadly bruited about. His story was shown to be one of a much disordered brain.
 Further investigations of the de- tectives here showed that Mills, and his companion Lefty O'Brien'', but 19 years old, were at that time con- fined in the asylum and incapable of committing the crime.
