SEIZED BY U. S.
TREASURY AGENTS coNFIscATE
TWO HUGE STONES FROM
TURKISH RESIDENT.
Diamonds Weighed Over Eighteen
Carats Eaeh-Fsiled TO Declare
Them on Arrival.

NEW YORK. Jan. f4.-Treasury
agents today seized from A. Anpikad.
Jan. resident of Constantinople. now
IN this city. two egg-shaped diamonds
weighing more than eighteen carats
each and said to have been worn CEN
turtles ago by a queen OF Egypt. The
diamonds are said TO be of great value.
not only because OF their size and
quality but because of their antiquity.
Collector OF the Port Dudley Field Ma.
lone directed the seizure of the Jewels.
which II Is claimed Anpikadjian failed
TO declare TO the customs officials
when he arrived in the United States
on October 19. last.
Upon being questioned after the
seizure of the diamonds, their owner
said he had purchased them in the
jewelry market at Constantinople from
an Egyptian princess, who declared
they had been in her family for cen
turtles. and had been wotn nj one time
by the Queen OF Sheba. At the time
OF the purchase. he said. the diamonds
were attached TO two emeralds. about
one inch square The emeralds and
the diamonds formed large pair of
earrings. The emeralds were pur-
chased by another dealer. he said.
Many Gems Come over.
The seizure OF the diamonds was
the result Of recent activity on the
part OF agents of the Treasury De
partment Collector Malone received
information some time ago that a
number Of wealthy dealers in precious
stones had come to this country since
the beginning OF the war in Europe.
~ the request Of the collector. the
treasury Department detailed officers
10 investigate all foreign dealers who
mad arrived In this country and TO
report upon the conditions in the dia.
mond and Jewelry districts in this
and other large cities in the United
states. The agents finally got on the
track OF the two diamonds. and Ami.
kadtian was found in the ofice OF a
Maiden Lane diamond dealer, where
ne was offering the stones for sale.
Counsel for Anpikadjian contended
that the diamonds were artistic an.
tiques. free from flaw. and that his
client had shown them to the customs
oficers upon his arrival. and they
had passed them.
