WEALTHY WOMAN
IN CUSTOMS NET
Mrs. William L. Velie Held for Grand
Jury Action in Smuggling
Case

New York, Aug. 2s.-After brief for
NAL proceedings before United States
Commissioner Stanton in Hoboken,
Tuesday, Mrs. William L. Velie and her
travelling companion, Miss Mary J. Lii
ly, were held to await the action of the
federal grand jury on charges of at
tempted smuggling.
William J.. Velie, president OF the
Velie Motor Vehicle company of Moline,
Ill.,, and chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the extensive beers interests,
was present when his wife and her com
panion, were arraigned. 1t was charged
that the two women had tried to Snug
gle Jewels, silverware and clothing,
packed in IA trunks and valued at APP
proximately $4,000, into New York
from a North German Lloyd liner on
Aug. 10 last.
The Velies We're plainly much upset
by the proceedings and showed evident
relief when the hearing was over and
they were permitted to retire to pri-
vate room There they waited until

VERMONT CAN'T HELP HERSELF.
Would Have to Receive Thaw if He
Were Deported Here.

Vermont may well pray to be deliv-
cred from the experiences likely to come
TO it in case it is made the dumping
ground for Thaw by the Canadian au-
thorities. Realizing this, the Vermont
government is seeking means of pre-
venting any such use of Nermont's terri
tory, yet our constitutional provisions
and laws are so framed for the promo
ton of individual justice and freedom
that it may prove to be impossible to
prevent this persistent trouble-maker
from finding more or less prolonged
asylum within our boundaries
A glance at the provision of our ex-
tradition laws will help our readers to
the conditions which will
surround the case in the event of the de-
portation of Thaw from Canadian terri
tory to Vermont, on the ground that he
entered the Dominion from this state.
Upon requisition of the governor or
governors of New York as the case
stands at the present time, Thaw would
be arrested under the terms of section
2, 402 of the public statutes of Vermont,
which reads as follows:
"a person arrested in this state by
virtue of warrant issued by the gov

WOMAN'S FOOT IN
SHARKS STOMACH
Was Encased in Stocking and Tan
Shoe-FisheTmen Get
Surprise.

New York, Aug. 2s-The foot Of a
stocking was cut from the stomach of a
giant man-eating shark by fishermen in
the Atlantic ocean off Spring Lake
Beach, n. j., according to the fishermen
themselves, and William |. Dinner, man
ufacturer, of Dayton, o., who said he
saw the foot and who has summer
home here.
The shark, which was described as
being ID feet in length and weighing 500
pounds, became entangled in the nets of
the fishermen, and when they went out
I'm small boats to make the daily haul
on Monday they found the shark whip
ping the nets about and tearing them.
Capt. Combes, in command of one of
the fishing boats and one of the best
known fishermen along the New England
coast, drew in one of the meth with five of
his men. When they got the monster
to the surface they GATED him while he
was trying to overturn their boat.
As he turned over on his back dead
1t was thought that he was too big to
get into the boat to take ashore, so it
was decided to cut him open and take
ashore full length section to prove his
size
Fishermen always cut open sharks to
see what they have inside of them. The
sharks belly was awash with the boats
gunwale when the knife was applied
and Capt. Combs and his five men were
Mortified to see the foot of woman fall
out of the stomach into the boat. They
released the sharks carcass and took
the foot ashore.
Mr.. Dinner was fishing near by in a
pleasure boat, and he said last night
that he not only had seen the foot, but
the shark from which it was cut. He
said the foot had been bitten off of a
woman's leg between the knee and the
ankle, and that all of the stocking had
come away with it.
From the condition of the foot and
the shoe it could not have been in the
sharks stomach long; perhaps he swal-
lowed it on Sunday" said Mr.. Dinner.
'If the woman was dead when he swal-
lowed her foot she could not have been
dead long"
No reports We're found of any woman
who had lost foot through an encoun-
ter with shark. One of the puzzling
things was that the foot was said to
have a shoe on it, proving the woman
was not a bather. She might have fall
len overheard and then been attacked
by the shark.

Girl Declares She Couldn't Work for So

Path

New York, Aug, PSI admit I'm a

coat of the same material, mans
silk shirt and wing collar, and tan shoes
and silk socks. 1--WE been masquerad-
ing as man so that / might make more

Magistrate Clark looked curiously at
the Observation-Disclosures Clark" she
said she was. then admitted this was
fictitious name-and seemed not to
know exactly what to do about it. But
he held her in $500 bail for a later ex-
animation, on the chance that her story
wasn't altogether inaccurate.
The young woman was arrested in a
saloon in Slushing avenue. For several
days the police had been getting re-
ports that girl masquerading as a
man had been frequenting cafes near
the navy yard, and at last Detective
Bridgetts spotted her She was over
doing the part, smoking too much, drink
ing too much, and eussing with too much
frequency to be a man.

prisoner to reporter. 81 couldn't live

The girl was still in male attire when
interviewed. The police and magistrate
are very curious to know who she really
is, but she refuses to tell anything
about herself except that Catherine

London, Aug. 2S.-Strong pickets of

induce the workmen to lay down their
tools at Buckingham palace, Marlbor-

Asquith's official residence in Downing
