According to an affidavit sworn 10 be
fore Magistrate Joseph Fitch in the ia
maica. Long Island. court yesterday by

come over intact the duty would nave
been 81 $50 instead Of $50.
When this became known the United
States Attorney and the Solicitor gave
much consideration to this form or I'M
portation, and were inclined to the be-
lief that while it might be legal and
common practice an effort should De
made to prevent importations in TINS
fashion. Several mel. familiar with
the customs law are of the opinion
that such method of importation is
consistent with the law and should De
allowed by the government On the
other hand, several legal representa-
tives of the government are anxious
that a test be made Of this case.
II it is decided that such procedure
is not regular it is said that an effort
will be made to collect the additional
30 per cent in all cases where jewelry
has been dismantled and brought IN
under the 10 per cent class. Under
the new tariff a tax Of 20 per cent Is
put upon all unset jewels.
Mrs. William B. Leeds, widow OF the
"tinplate king" bought pearl neck
lace, valued at S220,OO0, in Paris IN
1906. She guaranteed to make pay
ment on the delivery of the jewels TO
her in Newport. Hugh Citroen' a
Paris jeweller, brought them unstrung
to this country, declaring them on ar
rival and offering to pay duty or III
per cent. This was accepted. Later
the government brought suit to collect
$4,000 Of the additional 90 per cent
on the ground that the pearls had been
unstrung for importation.
1t was proved that the pearls had
been strung temporarily for display
purposes only and the Supreme Court
in February, 1912, decided in favor OF
Mrs. Leeds.

Borough President McAneny, hearing
that his friends in the Board OF Estimate
we're determined TO go ahead. despite his
first objection. and raise the salary OF the

which Office he takes on January l. made
such a vigorous protest yesterday that

The proposal was 10 Increase the salary
from 500 to $1,000 a year.
There is no question that the salary
OF the aldermanic president is too small
said Mr.. McAneny. but | am at present
a member OF both boards. and | do not
want the Board OF Estimate TO take this
action. | urge that the proposition be
withdrawn"

Nightstick Appears and Knocks
Both Out-Shoppers at Ring
side Give Big Shout.

James Todd, a large but swift moving
body, was bncking a holiday crowd OF
shoppers at 42d street and Broadway yes
terdav when he felt slight jar In ac-
cordance with the practice OF all sood
line buckers his head was low so ne ulu
not see that the slight delay in his prog
ress was caused by one Maurice Berry,
a small Frenchman. Bercy did not re-
main in the pathway Of Todd more thah
an instant. for when they met the force
of the impact was sufficient to send the
Frencbman spinning TO the sidewalk.
Bercy was up in an instant, utterlns
wild Gallo cries. Todd was made aware
of his presence when the Frenchmah
drew his cane in rapier fashion ana
plunged it just above the midrih Of his
antagonist
"Touche' cried Bercy.
Ugh" grunted Todd, and raised his
head to ascertain from what quarter the
danger threatened
A ring OF spectators had formed by this
time. and round and round within It's
limits circled the contestants. Todd held
his left arm extended and moved MS
right rapidly, in imitation of James j.
Jeffries as he had seen him in the MOVING
pictures. Every now and then he would
rush. swinging wildly with both hands,
but each time his charge was stopped
short by the point of Bercy's cane.
As for the fifteenth time Bercy crled
"Touche" Todd sank to the ground eN-
hausted. The Frenchman turned to the
crowd and began speech, in which he
described his emotions in the hour OF
victory and boosted he was kin Of Will

Through the crowd came Patrolman

but before the victor could draw his cane
and defend himself the nightstick Of the
policeman crashed against that fragile
weapon ard left the Frenchman helpless
He surrendered without further struggle
amid the shouts Of the shoppers.
Todd and Bercy were held at the west

GLYNN URGED TO VETO
BRONX SALARIES BILL,
Estimate Board Protests and
Controller Withdraws Report
Fixing Grades and Pay.

Controller Prendergast withdrew fronns
the Board OF Estimate yesterday his re-
port establishing grades and salaries In,
the recently created office Of District At
torney and County Judge in The Bronx.
At his request the board sent a message
TO Governor Glynn urging him TO veto
the bill, which gives these officials the
power to fix their own grades and salaries
The Controller explained that the report
was before the board last week, but had
gone over a week in order that further In
vestigation might be made.
Before that time had expired SAID
the Controller, 1.-The District Attorney

fore tho Legislature. have bill intro
duced empowering the newly elected Of
ficers 10 appoint the officers, thus taking
II out of the hands of this board. why
they even got an emergency message from
Governor Glynn.
"At the hearing before the Governor
Yesterday Assistant Corporation Counsei
Edward J. McGoldrick, represented the
city and Tilden Adamson represented the
Department OF Finance In opposition TO
the signing of the bill. II violates the
principle of home rule. ana as the ooaru
has already made some provisions Tor
these officers, / think that the Governor
should be requested by this board to veto
the measure"
II is a question of providing more jobs
for the faithful in The Bronx, It Is said.
II the Board OF Estimate fixes the number
and salaries. the offices will be economic
ally run without regard for Democratic
patronage.
In The Bronx 1t is said Governor Glynn
has promised to sign the bills, but those
who have heard his statements about
good government are inclined to believe
bs will not make such a mistake.

SHOT AND BURNED, he IS

Coat in Flames. Man Seriously
Wounded Seeks Police Aid
Protects Assailant.

A young man. his coat in flames, ran up
to a policeman at the corner OF IhIiu
avenue and 10Sth street shortly petoTe II
o'clock and collapsed. The policeman
extinguished the fire with his hands and
then discovered that the man had been
shot twice. the wounds being not FAR
below his heart.
DR.. Kroh removed him TO the Reception
Hospital.
Some time later the man was revived.
He said he was Moe Burris. twenty-four'
living at No. 62 East 109th street. In ex-
planning his condition he said he was
walking through 1OSth street and was be-
tween Third and Lexington avenues Wnen
a man whom he did not recognize came
suddenly upon him and, without WORD
pressed a revolver against him and nred
twice. Burris could not describe his as
sailant, nor did he seem TO know In Which
direction the gunman had fed
The story did not look honest to Detec-
tive Kahn, and he continued his question
ing. At length Burris exclaimed;
IF die I'm going to die game. You u
get nothing from me-"
II is not likely that he will survive.
Burris. according to the police was
freed recently from Elmira, to when ne
was sent about eighteen months ago LOT
picking pockets. Six months prior TO that
ne was arrested on a charge OF shoouhe
Patrick Boyce, at Madison avenue ana
10th street. He was indicted on charge
of felouious assault. Boyce spent some
time in a hospital and then, seemingly
recovered. was discharged. Not long
after this he died.
II is alleged by the police that Burris
belongs to the Pickles gang, once
headed by Adolph Pickles Burg, who Is
NOW serving nine years in Sing Sing for
shooting a bartender.
Burris's father last night described Moe
as the black sheep of the family. IN
the young mans pocket was FOUND a
package containing a white powder which
