Supposed PIumages Valued at
$4,000 Turn Out To Be
S40O limitations.
WOMEN MAY HAVE THEM
Law Against Importation OF
Feathers Doesn't Apply to
Spurious Articles Foisted
on Americans Abroad.

When the experts on millinery
finished their appraisal OF seized
aigrettes at the Public Stores yester-
day an unusual situation presented
itself. and il is likely that much of the
confscatcd plumagc will be returned To
the women passengers from whom it
was taken.
II was found that about - per cent
of the confscatcd plumage, supposed to
be worth between 5000 and Sl,VD'
were only limitations. and not worth
more than SlUo.
For several weeks the customs otil-
cials have been in doubt as TO the value
OF the feathers brought TO this country
as aigrettes. The provisions of the new
tariff act, which went into effect early
i'm October. prohibited the bringing IN
Of pIumage of wild birds. and seizures
have been made on practically every
steamship arriving here since tnat
time.
From the appraisals made at the
Public Stores it is believed that clever
limitations, made Of horse hair ana
other materials, have been sold TO
American women in the European
shops at prices equal to that oi the
genuine plumage.
The customs officials in all cases OF
seizure have asked the owners TO state
the foreign purchase price oil the
plumage, and the amounts in pract-
cally all Instances have been high'
Many Of the so-called aigrettes nave
been recorded i'm the Women's decora-
tions. and as a rule the purchase price
named was more than $50.
The deputy surveyors who made the
seizures are confident that these hs-
,res have not been exaggerated. as 1t
would have been To the womens ad-
vantage 10 have minimiZed the COST
With the exception Of about ten gem
uine plumes which the owners de-
c,ared we're worth between $50 and

From The Tribune Burea


washington. Nov. DUDLEY Fleld Ma
lone, the Third Assistant Secretary OF
State, called at the White House TO-DAY
and spent nearly half an hour chattihs
with the President about the New YORK
political situation. There seems to ne
little doubt that Mr.. Malone viii be APP
pointed Collector Of the Port of New
York TO succeed Mr.. Mitchell and. Incl
dentally. be placed in virtual control OF
the political situation in New York rs
the representative OF the administration.
This is believed probable because the
Secretary OF the Treasury and the Presi-
dent both admire the stand taken by the
young man. The President is greatly
pleased over the New York result. and Is
expected to show his further apprecia-
ton by the appointment OF Mr.. Malone.
There is a diplomatic silence on the part
OF Mr.. Malone but his friends say he will
receive his reward.

An Enjoyable Affair.

The first semi-annual ball given by the
Fraternal Order of Eagles last Thursday
evening will go down in the society his
tory of Jerome AS one of the most enjoy
able events ever held here. A large
crowd was present and the most perfect
order was maintained. The Eagles or
chestra furnished the music and with an
elegant floor there was nothing lacking
to furnish enjoyment to the large num-
Der which participated. 1t is also graft
flying to know that besides furnishing a
rare evenings enjoyment they will have a
good balance to their credit,a fact that is
due chiefly to the efforts of Mr.. Tony
Magnelli in making the affair the sue
cess it was. The prize waltz was won by
II. Linke and Mrs, Clyde Harper.

HANDLED BY TELEPHONE.
Big Parade Of Knights ConcIave will
be Unusual Feature.

Denver, Colo, (Special) With over
10000 men In line General John Chase
and his committee of assistants will form
and direct the gigantic Knight Templar
parade here almost entirely by telephone.
A special central switchboard has been
installed at conclave headquarters and
by means Of branch telephones at short
intervals along the line of march the
committee will be kept in direct touch
with the movements and progress Of the
vast army Of marching Knights.
Besides the host of Sir Knights who
are in attendance at the conclave there
are over 100000 visitors in the city, and
unusual and careful plans haye been
prepared for their care and comfort.
Special plans have been arranged by the
telephone company in anticipation OF the
great increase in the number OF tele-
phone calls during the conclave. For
months past that company has been busy
installing emergency telephones, addi-
tional switchboards facilities and training
the $50 extra operators who will be re-
quired to assist the regular force in
handling the calls. Over $50 emergency
telephones have been connected with the
newspapers and hotels and information
bureaus, and at various places along the
| streets telephones connected with the
central exchange have been provided for
the convenience OF the visitors.
Discussing the telephone preparations
for the conclave visitors, an official OF
The Mountain States Telephone Com
pany said today: Emergencies such as
this require that we provide facilities far
beyond our usual daily need. The pres
ent convention with its vast influx OF
visitors and consequent increase OF tele-
phone calls is only a repetition of other
conventions we have handled; and will
have to handle in the future. Our plant
investment has always been and must
always be, sufficient to take care OF moi
only the usual daily business, but the
maximum number OF calls that come Il
our switchboards. This is true not onl,
of Denver and other large centers but q
each one of our exchanges Throughout
the territory. Every telephone call mus
be handled as unit. The provisions il
Denver during the present conclave ar
such that each one of the daily 200, 90
calls will be handled as promptly and a
carefully as at any other time"
The careful study and preparation
provide for the telephone needs OF col
, ventions and similar gatherings show
quite conclusively that the business {
the telephone company, as well as thu
of other service corporations is unusu
and that the difficulties which confroI
them are n OF to be judged by every-da
| standards

New Stairway 1t the Falls.

Plans for the bnilding OF new stair
way at Shoshone falls were decided on
yesterday. Lumber will be hauled out
this week and the building Of the stair
way will begin next Tuesday. The plans
were drawn by Hans Ulbe and the con-
struction of the stairway will be done by
James Boyle, who resides on a fruit
ranch in the canyon just above Shoshone
falls. Mr.. Boyle is familiar with the
canyon and thoroughly understands con-
struction work OF this kind.
Tue stairway will be 4Ou feet long and
will consist of 300 steps and 10 landings.
Starting from the swing, there will be
about 60 steps toward the bottom OF the
canyon to the first landing from which a
turn to the left is made for some l45 feet,
the stairway then veers to the right for
about the same distance and drops down
to the river with flight of 90 more steps.
The stairs will be built on heavy brack-
cts bolted securely to the solid rock cliff
and will be very substantial and in abso-
lutcly no danger of slides. The work
will probably be all completed by Octo-
Der l. The cost will be about $500, in

Coming by Twos.

Talk about the abundant YIELD of crops
on the tract, it is no comparison to the
way stock is increasing. During the
past week two instances have occurred
where COWS have given twin heiier calves,
all OF which are living and flourishing.
Monday morning X. Z. Sherman re-
ported the arrival of twin heifer calves
nj his ranch. and this was soon followed
10y a report from the ranch OF Ii. L.
Bridges, of the same good fortune. Gu
rious enough in both instances these
cows have dropped three heifer calves
within a year, which is building up a
dairy herd pretty fast. But nothing
seems surprising on the North Side tract
and especially in the Eldorado section.

Meteor Strikes Near House.

A meteor four inches in diameter
struck near the w. l.. Hubbel residence
in the north part of the city Wednesday
evening of last week. Only three persons

itor, Mr.. and Mrs. Hubbell and neigh

position of stone and mineral, weighing
about two times as much as lava rock.
Mr.. Hubbell has sent two samples to be
analysed. Mr.. Hubbell is inclined to be-
lieve that the meteor was charged with
electricity, as the noise it made after hit
ting the ground bore that resemblance.
1t struck in a ditch near the house and
Mr.. Hubbell poured water on it for sew

and only changed from white heat to
red, he took shovel and transferred il
to ditch of running water. After leav-
ing it in the water for ten minutes he
picked it up and started to the house, bu,
it began to heat and he was compelled tc
leave it in the water. Mr.. Hubbell has
