100000 SEIZURE
in DUNLAP CASE
But Customs Order to Hold
Gems and Finery Is Con
sidered Flimsy.

Jewels and wearing apparel valued
al 800 OOO. owned 10y w. Allen Dun
Ian. son Of the founder Of the Dunlap
ha, factory. were authorized TO he
seized Yesterday by the Collector OF
the Port. The papers in the case VIII
be given TO-DAY To the United S'ates
Attorney for consideration relative to
criminal prosecution.
The case attracted unusual attention
because Of the carelessness Of the spe-
ciaI Treasury agents. who lost the
Dunlap Jewel case containing Soo,"o
worth OF gers after II had been taS'A
bv them from the owners.
II was generally believed yesterday
that the Dunlaps will be able to prove
that they were well within the law in
bringing in the Jewels and finery duty
free on the ground that they were
foreign residents.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Dunlap was
permitted 10 take from the public
stores certain articles which had been
detained.
Ever since the detention Of the Dun
Ian trunks and jewel case, November
T.. when the owners arrived here ny
the White Star liner olympic the ape-
ciaI agents and the solicitor 10 the
Collector have been conducting inves-
tigations. In the hope Of proving that
the Dunlaps were trying TO evade fhc
payment of proper duty.
After investigation the seizure was
ordered ION the ground that Mr.. Dun
lap's claim as nonresident at the time
of his arrival had been found 10 have
been made with the intention Of evad-
ing the payment of proper duty and
that the declaration was therefore not
made in good faith
Mr.. Dunlap may take his case 10
court in an effort to have his goo Is
returned 10 him. provided no criminal
action is taken by the government. II
the court upholds the seizure he may
be accorded the privilege Of taking mis-
seized fnery and Jewels by paying the
foreign value plus the duty. when
would amount TO approximately SlGo
600.
The Dunlaps were met on board the
White Star liner olympic November l.
by three special agents and put
through long examination. With the
exception of a small BIT of hand bag-
gage. all their belongings were prompt
ly sent to the Appraisers Stores. The
Jewels, valued at $4,000 were taken
by one OF the agents who accom-
panied the Dunlaps 10 a hotel at Gar
den City. Long Island. on arrival
there the agent suddenly discovered
that he had mislaid the box Of gems
on the White Star pier. They were
found there later.

TOOK HIS DEATH LIGHTLY
Testator, Jocose in Will, Speaks
of Carcass.

Matthew J. Charde. of No. 2O2 East
18TH street. who died November ,, ap-
parently did not think death such a
terrible thing. nor did he regard his
Will as a sacred document as testators
usually do. In his will. filed in the
Surrogate's Court yesterday, Mr..
Charde treated the subject of his death
and disposition of his body in a jocose
manner.
Instead Of the usual preamble the
testator wrote, In case of my shuf-
fling off and being Of sound mind, the
disposition Of what I am possessed
desire as follows He then distributes
among his friends and relatives his cs-
tate valued at more than 5000"

sire my carcass to 60 to W. r."

There were no state professions
or escorts but the bands of the
Grenadier and Coldstream Guards
were drawn up in the Ambassador
Court and the approach to the
Chapel Royal was lined by guards
of honor from the Royal Scots
Greys, the bridegroom regiment
and the Duff Highlander, (the
bride as head Uf the Duff Clan, be-
ing one of the few persons privi-
ledged to maintain a private regi-
ment). Although their residence
is only few yards from the pal
ace, the Connaugbts conformed to
custom and drove from Clarence
to the Chapel Royal. The bride
groom who wore his captains uni

crossed with his Garter ribbon,
was supported by his cousin, the
Prince Of Wales, and the Grand
Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, the
former wearing a naval uniform
and the latter that of the Seaforth
Highlanders, Of which he is colonel
in-chief. Royal bridegrooms have
no best man, but the bride who
drove from Portman Square with
her mother, the Princess Royal and
her uncle, the King Of Norway,
had bridesmaids. They included
Princess Mary, King Georges only

DUCHESS BRIDE OF
A YOUNG PRINCE

1t was II 45 when the bride ar
rived amid a storm of cheering
from the vast crowds in the vicin-
ity Of the palace. The bridegroom
was awaiting her at the alter and
in a few moments King George
and Queen May, who drove over
from Buckingham Palace without
escort arrived. The King, who
was in a Field Marshall uniform,
gave his niece away and as soon
as the .nuptial knot had been
tied by the archbishop, the royal
party adjourned to the Registry
where the register, an imposing
purple, gilt edged book reserved
exclusively for royal weddings, was
signed. King George and about
forty royalties and officials signed
Immediately after the bride ard
bridegroom and the whole party
then proceeded to the banqueting
hall where the wedding breakfast
was served.
The bride today wore simple
wedding gown of white and pale
blue silk embroidered with sprigs
of hether, the Scottish emblem of
good lack. Her trousseau is all
British, England and Scotland sup
plying the gowns and shoes, Ireland
the linen and Wales the corsets,
etc. The wedding presents were
numerous and costly. Care had
been taken however to prevent du-
plication and the newly married
couple will not have to worry
themselves over what to do with,
say, nineteen pianos, as King
George and Queen Mary had TO
twenty years. The Kings gift to
the bride was q magnificent set Of
diamonds and the young princess
cluhbed together for diamond
crown.

London, Oct 15:-Three kings,
four queens and an empress, to-
gether with some fifty lesser Brit
ish and Continental royalties wit
messed the marriage at noon today
of Prince Arthur, son of the Duke
of Connaught, Governor-General
of Canada and his cousin the Ouch
es of Fife, in the historic Chapel
Royal, States Palace. The match
has been generally regarded as
the nearest approach to royal ro-
nance, as except for the necess-
ity of providing q wealthy bride
for Prince Arthur and the desira-
bility of keeping the Duchess mill
ions in England, no state purpose
is served by the alliance. The bride
inherited more than five million
dollars from her father. She is 22
years Of age and the Prince 80.
Although the wedding was sup
posed to be merely a family affair,
Court officials had complete charge
of the arrangements. AS the Chap
ell Royal holds only 800 persons the
guest list was exceedingly select.
In addition to King George and
Queen Mary, and the parents of
the bride and bridegroom, the dis
tiDguished guests included the
kings and queens of Denmark and
Norway, Dowaqer-Empress Marie
of Russia, .Queen-Mother Alexan-
dria, the Crown Prince and Grown
Princess of Sweden, and Prince and
Princess Henry Of Prussia, repre-
senting the Kaiser. All the men,

LONG TERM FOR BROPHY

Frank Brophy recently indicted
for car burglary at Carlin in 1912
and who plead guilty to petit lar
ceny before Judge Castle yesterday
was sentenced by Castle last night
to pay fine of $4O0 and if he was
unable to pay it he must do PEN
nance in the county Jail at the rate
Of 81 day. 1t looks as though
Brophy might be Sheriff Harris
guest for about 200 days.
Attorney Edgar 7 Fee made a
plea to Castle in behalf of Brophy.
Fee said the man was innocent Of
the crime actually charged and
was in the Salt Lake Jail at the
time the car was burglarized. Fee
said Brophy would willingly go to
Jail rather than squeal on his
friends who were the guilty par
ties in the case. Mr. Fee asked the
court to be merciful to Brophy as
he had saved the county an enor-
nous expense by not going to trial.
Fee thought about a $100 fine
would be proper punishment for
Brophy.
Judge Castle said he didn't think
BrOphy was very commendable
martyr in going to jail to avoid
squealing on bis fellow criminals.
Castle further said it was not to
the best interests Of justice or an
act of good citizen to shield Grim
inals and the thought a $500 fine
would hold Brophy for a while.

the turbulent matrimonial ship of
mark" Manley and Ida r Harvey
into calm waters again. In the
same court over which Judge Taber
now presides the couple we. di-
vorced less than a year ago. On
Sept IL, 1911, at st Anthony, Ida
no, Ida B Harvey a widow, and r
T Manley were married and soon
after came to Elko. According TO
her complaint in the divorce action
which she filed against her hus-
band, he was cruel to her-ex-
tremely so, she charged-and he
cussed and struck her. Also be
didn't work and never brought
nome any pay envelope like duti-
full husband ought to. In fact, she
alleged, he didn't contribute any
thing to the support of the family
while they werc married. She ran
her millinery store on the Pullman
corner and supported herself and
maintained the home she testified.
Manley didn't like the idea of her
running the millinery store and
wanted her to sell out and put the
money in saloon which she refused
to do. SO on Dec. ii 1912 Judge
Averill gave her a divorce.

it over and on October II the cou-
