SMUGGLING PLOTS
Bankers and Business Men
Alleged to Have Swindled
Government.
Especial to Tho Times-Dispatch.

Philadelphia Pa. June IA sensa-
tional series Of smuggling plots, by
which sixteen Philadelphia bankers
and business men have swindled the
government out OF more than n mil
lion dollars in duties during the past
eight years, has been disclosed by the
investigation now being made by
Henry n. Arnold. special assistant to
Attorney General McRcynolds
The identity OF the men who have
succeeded in having dutiable goods
passed through this port free OF duty
during this period is known to the
investigators, and it is expected that
when the Federal grand jury convenes
here June 10. indictments will bo
asked against all of these men and
perhaps others who are believed to be
connected with the frauds.
The investigation was begun by Mr..
Arnold following the discovery by APP
praiser Roper that several trunks con-
taining dut'able goods belonging to
Edward Z. Stotcsbury. senior member
OF the firm OF j. p. Morgan g. Co. had
been passed through this port without
being appraised.
The investigation has disclosed one
particularly hagrant case, in which II
Is claimed prominent Philadelphia
merchant shipped large consign-
ment OF goods to his wife here. and
before the merchant returned from
Europe these goods were being sold
over the counter in his store. Simi-
lar Instances. although not as open
as this. have bCen uncovered and IL
Is predicted that many prominent men
will be connected with the smuggling.
SO far, the investigation has failed
to disclose any direct bribery of GUS
toms officials, but II has been found
that the men who wished 10 secure the
entrance OF their goods duty free,
promised certain officials political In

PIGS MAIN FACTOR

Balkan Allies Fight in Country
Where Soldiers Can Sub
SiSt on PorkerS.

Washington. June 1.--Pigs and pre-
paredness were the main factors in
the success of the Balkan allies. ac-
cording to official reports at the Army
War College, and not the perfection
of the automobile and the deadly use
OF the machine guns. a member OF
the staff, discussing the reports, said
tonight:
",Fhe reports show that the transpor-
tation depended largely upon the bull
ock teams and carts adapted to the
rough mountainous roads. the muddy
plains and the uncertain weather An
other interesting feature is that pigs
figured so prominently in the cam
paigns. 1t seems that the armies went
through regions where pigs were n
staple product. and the soldiers We're
able to subsist to n large extent on
pigs. saving q large item of transpor-
tation
at is possible that the idea about
the success of the machine guns re-
suited from the doubtful reports that
80 per cent of the wounds OF the de-
feated army were inflicted by fold ar
tillery. That was because the field ar
tillery could be used with very great
effect against an army constantly on

DISPLAY SUBJECT
OF CONTROVERSY
Germany Likely to Have Poor
Exhibition at Panama-Pacihc
Exhibition.

Especial Cable to The Times Dispatch I
Berlin. June 1.-The display to be
made by German manufacturers and eX-
porters ut the Panama Pacific EXposi-
ton, to be held in San Francisco In
1915. is the subject OF a lively contro-
versy in business circles here. The
present outlook is that the display will
be disappointing and unworthy of Ger
many's dignity and great commercial
interests.
The German Iron and Steel Industrial
Association, one of the most important
trade organizations in the empire, al
ready has declined to participate on
the ground that its members are un-
able to SEQ where they will receive any
tangible benefits from any such exhi-
bition. Another important organiza-
ton interest in iron and steel has taken
similar action. and 1t is probable that
the smaller branches of this industry
VIII be influenced by this.
AT the Bureau of Permanent Exhibit
tions 1t is admitted that the prospects
are dubious and Chief Commissioner
Ludwig Max Goldberger said:
1T is true that a large proportion
OF the German business world is tired
of exhibitions. and many industriallsts
feel that they have received little or
no benefit from the displays at Phila-
delphia. Chicago and st. Louis, and they
are reluctant to repeat the experiment"
Another prominent commissioners
said:
"One reason the Germans are apa-
thetic regarding the San Francisco ex-
hibition is that they are skeptical as
to the benefits to be derived from the
new American tariff. and are especially
dissatisfied with the administrative
provisions regarding the appraisement
of imported goods. Moreover 1t is not
assured that the opening of the PAN
ANA Canal will materially lower tho
cost of transportation"
Two important conferences are to be
held here tomorrow for the purpose
of getting the opinions of German bust
