who operates a rubber and cement
factory here. The GTayLle agency is
also made defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney
Harold Content says Mrs. Dekkers was
sex and the fact that she had been in
the habit of making frequent trans
atlantic trips were relied on to protect
her from suspicion. The rubber was
to be carried by her as personal bag
gage. Four and half tons of rubber
were obtained by the alleged conspira-
tors, according to Mr.. Content. before
the first attempt at shipment was
made.
on November - Mrs. Dekkers took
passage on the Holland Am rican lin
er Rundam, bound for Rotterdam. She
had four trunks and eight packing
cases filled with rubber which were
marked personal baggage. Acting on
information given the customs author
tiles by British agents, Mrs. Dekkers'
baggage was held up and she was not
permitted to sail. The matter was re-
ferred to United States Attorney Mar
shall, who laid the matter before the

The new civil service law was one

tears because civil service rules of the
state had been ignored in former
years. Then the legislature came to
Topeka and passed civil service law
