SAME TURTLE, SAME STORY
Same Boy, Same Initials, Same
Lapse of Years.

Fifty-three years ago, almost to a
day-oh, well. maybe II wasn't the eX-
act day, but he believes it was, any
way-Justice Marcus l.. Griffin, OF
Quogue, Long Island. then stripping
caught a land turtle near his home and
carved his initials and the date upon
its shell.
Sounds bit familiar, doesn't II?
Long about the middle of May, 1850,
he found the same turtle in about the
same spot. IL still wore his carvings.
He further decorated the shell with an
other set Of his initials and the new
date and then released the turtle.
This also has familiar sound.
A few DAYS ago Justice Griffin was
walking near the spot, thirty-three
wears since he last saw the shellback,
when what to his wondering eyes
should appear but his old friend the
turtle. with the Griffin carvings still
clear.
More familiar.

Then he proceeded TO add a third date.

the little beast" said he.
This little story teaches that the
WAYS Of the land turtle are the same as
in the good old days OF Rameses |.

for Passing Goods.
Ao0 CASES ARE INVOLVED
Complaint Says They Were

They Contained Dutiable
Merchandise.

Philadelphia, May 24-Robert S. Brier-

This afternoon by government agents in
Connection with the federal prosecutions

con, frauds. whereby the firm of John
wanemaker brought certain merchandise

r4,bout paving duty. Brierley is believed
20 he the key to the entire situation. and
,bs government Investigators appear TO
ba confident that in time he will tell all
,s knows about the importation.
In what might be considered a star
chamber session. Brerley was arraiGned
.o.dav before United States Commits
soner Craig. and was held in $500 bail
for further hearing next Friday. He is
s,aciAcallv charged with having "unlaW-
fnllv and fraudulenuy passed valuable
a,6 dutisble merchandise imported from
broad and consigned TO John Wanna
maker. Of Philadelphia, as goods Of no
value
lust enough evidence was presented
,,is afternoon to hold Brierley. This was
civen by Henry II. Waters, Deputy Col
Isctor of Customs. Of New York. Waters
testified after the warrant issued on the
sHdavit Of Frank /. Garbarino. special
agent for the Department Of Justice here,
was read.
The warrant charges that Brierley on
January -. 1902 passed, free OF duty
Parcel contaiping a flag valued at $50.
To show that the charges are Of much
more importance than appear on the sur
face. Waters testified that four hundred
cases of valuable merchandise had been
passed in the same manner.
Waters also testified that an eXamina-
tion Of the books Of John Wanamaker
disclosed that in many cases the goods
passed free Of duty were Of high COM
mercial value on which duty should have
been paid. He swore that the invoices
accompanying these shipments were
marked in red ink. no value.
Brie-ley. who is a well known politician
had failed TO obtain bal. up to a late
hour tonight. He was dismissed from
the revenue service in March, but no eA-
PLANTATION was given for his dismissal.
Just about the time Brierley was dis
missed John Wanamaker paid 100000 TO
the government IN settlement Of the civil
claim for the alleged fraudulent importa-
tons. This payment was made one day
before President Wilson took office.
It is understood that there will be sew
eral more arrests Henry y. Arnold

and who has charge of the Wanamaker
case refuses to discuss the matter.
