WANAMAKER TESTIFIES.
Philadelphia Merchant. Before De-
partment Of Jnstice

John Wanamaker of Philadelphia ap-
peared late yesterday before Attorney
General McReynolds at the Department
OIL Justice to tell what he knows of the
alleged failure of his Philadelphia house
TO pay the full duties on thousands Of
dollars worth of goods imported over a
period covering many years Mr..
Wanamaker appeared with his attorney,
Henry A. Wise. former United States dis
trict attorney at New York. Henry
Arnold. special assistant to the Attorney
General, in charge of customs, who has
investigated the Wanamaker case, also
was present.
A previous case against the Wana
maker firm was settled in the closing
days of the last administration by the
payment of 100000. acknowledged by
officials, who were familiar with its
ramification, possibly to be twice the
amount of duty that should have been
collected.
Since the Wilson administration came
into power Mr.. Arnold has spent several
months in further investigation of this
case, and has developed a new line of
evidence. Mr.. McReynolds announced
several weeks ago that he had decided to
grant hearing to Mr.. Wise before he
took any further steps in the matter.
The department had comment to
make last night on the case, but a deci-
sion as to whether 1t shall be pressed, 1t
is said, Will be reached soon.
