before Judge Hunt, In the Criminal
Branch of the United States District
Court. entered "A plea OF guilty to an In
dictment charging her with having
failed to declare dutiable furs. wearing
apparel and jewelry when she returned
from abroad on the liner La France.
She was fined 81 900. which was paid.
Judge Hunt. in fniDg Mrs Pelouze,
said: Heretofore. il has been the GUS
tom TO impose fines IN these cases. The
fines were always paid. and then the
offenders laughing at the government
would motor uptown. The only way to
deter wealthy women from continuing
to cheat the customs is by imposing
prison sentences. Future offenders may

w. M. Erb Seeks Return of
Ticket Agency Stock
Worth $4,000.
MAKES CHARGE
OF CONVERSION
Court Refuses to EnjOin Hudson
Trusts Turning 1t Over
To Be Voted.

Allegations that the Tyson Company
dealers in theatre tickets was losing
money steadily and that the concern had
been in bad way financially in the last
few months were made in a suit filed
yesterday in the Supreme Court by Will
lam M. Erb, formerly president of the
Tyson Company. The suit is to recover
60 per cent of the stock of the company
which Erb said was wrongfully con-
verted
The defendants named were the Hud-
son Trust Company, Tyson Company
William J. Falon, president of the Tyson
Company; Christian b. Zabriskle, VINO
holds a majority stock sought by the
plaintiff and Alice L. u. Moore, secre-
tary OF the Tyson Company. Justice
Pendleton denied yesterday Erb's appll-
cation for an Injunction to restrain the
Hudson Trust Company, trustee OF the
stock from turning 1t over 10 the de-
PENDANTS and to restrain the other de-
PENDANTS from voting the stock at tho
next meeting Justice Pendleton held,
however. that Erb had cause of action
for conversion.
George j. Bascom owned the 100 shares
of stock of the theatre ticket company
representing a capital Of $4,000. Erb SAID
he furnished the money to buy 90 per cent
of the stock from Bascom, 40 per cent
being controlled by Tyson & Co. william
G. Mcclure, a former law partner or
Justice Hotchkiss of the Appellate Divi-
sion. said that he got the money to buy
the stock and that Erb was only a
dummy in the transaction. Mcclure or
ganized the two Tyson companies.
Zobriskie said he got his stock from
Mcclure, and that Erb gave no money
for it, He said that Erb mismanaged the
affairs Of the Tyson Company. and that
he paid $4,000 incash and securities to
Mcclure for the stock, and that it be-
came necessary for him to protect his In
vestment. Zabriskie added that he exam
ined the books and discovered that the
business was run in negligent manner
and at q great los. and bankruptcy was
threatened unless there was a change.
The company suffered a great loss by
buying for different theatres for last New
Years eve large allotments OF tickets
which were left on their hands.
Erb asks $4,000 damages for the refusal
Of the defendants to deliyersthe stock TO
him. lie said that on September q he
made a tender of SjO,0Os in cash for the
stock and the Hudson Trust Company re-
fused To deliver It,
Miss Moore. secretary Of the two Tyson
companies. was confidential secretary OF
Mcclure. She said in an affidavit that
after Erb had been deposed as president
OF the Tyson company he intercepted a
messenger of the company on the way 70
the bank and took from him 500 that had
been sent for deposit. This was charged
against his account
Erb said that Mcguire had planned 70
build up a theatre ticket library on the
plan of the institution in London, and
that he expected To do n business OF

asset Of the company was the stand at

management rival stand had been To-
Gated there.

the testimony in the pending separation
suit of Blake agt Blake.
This means that Mrs. Blake's com
plant and her husbands answer will
have their day in court. The frequent
postponement of the hearing as to all
mony gave strength to the report that

EAGLE RECALLED;
TURKEY GETS JOB
New National Bird Sweeps
Country, but His Term
Is Limited.
WEATHER BLAMED
FOR HIGH PRICES
Health Commissioners Men Seek
Out Undesirables Among
Visiting Fowl.

No longer, during this week at least. is
the proud eagle the national bird. His
place as the emblem of the land of the
brave and the home OF the free has been
taken by King Turkey.
This transition was only accomplished
after the direct vote of the people had
been taken. The initiative and recall also
were brought into requisition in making
teh all-important change. II is estimated
that Mr.. Turkey received the most over
wheming majority ever given a candi-
date. the number Of votes cast for him
being estimated at 109.5S97l representing
the native and foreign born whites and
negroes. The other 4112S5 wiH did not
vote for the national candidate are COM
posed Of In6ians Chinese, japanese and
other Asiatics. most of whom regard fish
as the Thanksgiving piec dc resistance.
There will be no recount.
The butchers and poulterers in Manhat-
tan. Brooklyn, Queens Richmond ana
The Bronx have been exceedingly busy
answering telephone orders for turkeys
Also came messenger boys, delivery boys
housewives. heads of families and other
individuals, who appeared at the markets
I'm person and sorted out their prandlal
favorite for Thursdays day of feastlng.
What mattered it that prices were
Bit higher than was the case last year.
Thanksgiving is Thanksgiving. and turkey
is Turkey, from the Bowery to Fifth
avenue. and all the way between.
Down in Washington Market the best
birds bon and raised in Maryland, sun
were quoted at from so to 32 cents
pound Iw you bought your bird uptown
however, whether from choice or pro-
pinquity. the price ascended on sliding
scale. Some of the more exclusive
butcher shops in or near Madison avenue
for instance, asked 40 cents a pound, ana
GOT il. The dealers said the warm
weather was responsible for the rise IN
prices
Among the several millions of pounds
of turkey now visiting" the city, Health
Commissioner Lederle's food inspectors
found some birds that were classed as
''undesirables" and ordered them de-
stroyed. In all. 1876 pounds Of turkey
were condemned. These turkeys only
offence was that they were ancient,
hence not fit to grace the tables of New
Workers, but the punishment fitted the
crime.
While turkey and all appertalnins
thereto was soaring to the sky in price,
the wholesale market prices for beef cuts
in the city were the lowest quoted IN
six months, the reductions ranging from
half a cent to cent and half pound.
Those who will go "hOme" for the hoi-
day will be well taken care Of by the
railroads. a large number Of extra trains
and service equipment having been pre-
pared for the occasion.
"Hurrah for the fun! Is the turkey
done? Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!'
