The importer, a foreigner, thus ad.

official corruption and shared the
duties thus saved. Costello received
most of his goods as part of what
were known as Mediterranean car.
goes" cheese, macaroni, olive oil. The
government was afterward found to
have been losing an average of $780,.
900 on each Mediterranean cargo that
came to port.
The case is typical. The represen.
tatives of the government practically
forced the importers into these decep.
lions. The customs service and com.
mercial New York became permeated
with this sort of fraud.
Henry L. Stimson was appointed
United States district attorney in 1909
and determined to clean up these Gus.
toms frauds. William Loeb, Jr., was
collector Of the port, and of the same
mind. The two men got their heads
together and considered ways and
means. A big cleanup followed and in
bringing it about the work Of Detec.
tive Billy Gard played a most impor.
tant part.
This young special agent was told
to 60 out and master the detail of New
York customs, a service that was new
to him, to come to understand them
SO well that he could place his finger
! on the points where things were going
wrong, to pick out the men in the
service who were corrupt, to get his
information in such form that it would
be admissible in court as evidence and
| so strong that it would insure convic-
lions. He was to do all this in the
face of the unfriendliness of the serv.
ice he was to study, despite all the
stumbling blocks that would be put in
his way, in opposition to the dominant
political machine of the port, in the
face of lack of any special knowledge
Of the service. Young Gard accepted
the assignment with grin.

Aud such were actually the facts.
To solve the riddle of the customs
frauds Agent Gard was working hard
at the task of becoming a baseball
fan.
Two weeks he had devoted to the
docks. During the first of these weeks
he had gone from wharf to wharf and

was a successful, enterprising and

a large shipment from Italy, upon
which he expected to, pay duty of
$4,000. The cargo was unloaded and
weighed by the customs representa-
tives. That night an emissary of the
ring called upon the Italian merchant.
He showed the record of weights for

record Costello would have had to pay
duty of but $4,000. It showed but
half the weight in cheese that had &C.

Agent Gard had selected the right
man. O'Toole, at first timid in his
fear Of the ring, became an enthusiast
over the task of wedding out the
graft. The dominance of local politi-
clans had no terrors for him with
j Washington at his back. The value
of all he had learned in eleven years
at the scales was made to supplement
the lack of customs experience on the
part of the special agent. His &C.
quaintance with the customs force in
the port made his information invalu-
able. So enthusiastic did he become
that he missed three ball games in
succession and went past four Saturday
nights without his customary tussle
with the spirits that bring forgetful-
ness.
O'Toole confirmed much of the list
of short-weight employees that had
been made up. OF the derelictions of
many Of these he had personal knowl-
edge. With their methods he was
entirely familiar and was able to point
the way toward the establishing of
guilt so it would be admissible as evil
dence and would secure convictions.
That an individual weigher may re-
port short weights it is necessary that
his associate at the scales, a checker,
should share in his receptions, for the
checker is q witness of the record Of
the scales. In the celebrated short
weight cases of the sugar scandals,
the checker had a steel spring like a.
corset stay that he thrust into the
mechanism of the scale and retarded
it, thus resulting in a showing Of
short weight. But in the case Of the
Mediterranean cargoes the fraud was
less disguised: The scales were al
lowed to record the proper weight,
but the weigher and the checker, in
collision, divided the figure by two in
setting it down. The system was both
simple and effective. 1t worked for
twenty-five years.
Gard consulted with O'Toole upon
the advisability Of using workmen
about the docks as informers. The
weigher thought this could be done
and knew a number of men who might
be so used. A laborer, for instance,
working about the scales, was able to
see the amount that the beam regis
tered at given times. He could easily
remember the big numbers, those that
represented the thousands of pounds,
until he had chance to set them
down. He could thus get a rough rec
ord Of the weighing of given half
day. This could afterward be COM
pared with the figures Of the weigher.
A pretty close check could thus be
put on the given suspects.
By such methods fairly clear cases
were obtained against given weighers
and checkers. After much Information
was gathered certain guilty men would
be selected who. would be given
chances to tell all about their knowl-
edge of the frauds. These men would
be given immunity. Thus would a few
Of the guilty escape punishment; but
thus, also, would the government learn
all the details of the frauds that it
might be able to provide etfectually
against them.
Special agents were set to watch
every suspect, to learn his manner OF
life, how he spent his money, whether
he could be trapped on tho outside.
When the government needed the con.
fession Of a given man he would be
called upon and talked to in some such
manner as this:
You, a. checker worked With
Little Falls herald. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1889-1950, 1918-08-02

there is nothing to live for. You per-
form your small duties with great
void in the back of your mind. There
is no stage setting that makes the
petty play seem worth while. The only
relief is an occasional Saturday night
when you forget"
The special agent began to realize
that the weigher was starting on his
tri-weekly fling. It also began to be
evident that he was of the order of in
ebriates who indulge in a debauch Of
self-pity as an accompaniment to their
liquor.
ut always seemed to me-" said the
special agent, that a man could be-
come so absorbed in his work that it
would fill his whole life. Particularly
should this be true when he has a
task so important as yours"
Mother of Mary!" exclaimed the
Irishman. Become absorbed in
watching q bunch of thieves always
at work? Would you like to spend
your declining years in sitting idly by
and watching your employer and bene-
factor robbed?"
"Why do this?" said Gard. "Why
not lay the whole thing before the
right authority and do a worthwhile
piece of work in cleaning up the serv-
ice?"
eyes, and be broken and thrown in
to the discard to starve," was the re-
ply. II have seen too many Of them
go up against the gang. None of it
for O'Toole."
"Just one tip will give you," said
the weigher after hearing the special
agents argument in favor of lending
his aid to showing up the frauds. IF
you will examine the records of Med
iterranean cargoes you will find that,
during the past ten years, such car
goes have regularly been about twice
as heavy when handled by certain
weighers as when handled by others.
The men whose records show these
cargoes always light are the crooks.
Those who show them heavy are hon.
est. The solution is merely a matter
of mathematics"
With this semiconidence the agent
contented himself. He continued to
go to the baseball games, but met
O'Toole only casually. In the mean
time the records of weighers were be-
ing examined. In a week the figures
were complete. They showed these
|. men divided into two groups that were
far apart with relation to the weights
of cargoes. The group that weighed
light was the larger.
A few days laIer Gard saw O'Toole
after ball game. He told the weigh
or that District Attorney Stimson
wanted to see him that night at the
federal building, that the district at
torney was under great obligations to
him for the tip to examine weighers'
records and wanted to thank him.
"O'Toole," said the district attorney
that night, "this is a time when the
government needs the aid of honest
men. We know that men who would
clean up customs graft have, in the
past, come to grief. But this is not
now true. have taken up your case
with the secretary of the treasury
himself. That official asks me to in:
form you that, in case you aid us in
cleaning up this situation, your place
will not only be made secure but that
you should figure that the service will
be remembered in the light OF your
future interests. We know that your
record is clean. We want your help.

HAWAIIAN SUGAR TO
Be SENT TO CANADA
twenty-five Thousand Tons Will
Be Diverted There From
East-Good For Islands

Hawaiian sugar is to go to Canada,
not a large proportion of the crop, to
be sure, but the first to go to the Dom
inon for refining. Plans for ship
ment of $4,000 tons are said to have
been perfected by the sugar committee
of the federal food administration and
the first consignment win leave Hilo
within the next few days, $500 tons on
the Tancred.- 4,
This falls in line with the announce,
ment made in The Advertiser on Fri
1. day that practically none of the Haw-
allan raw sugar of this year would go
to the Eastern refneries.
. 1t is understood that there will be no
change in the price nor in the freight
rate and if such sha \ prove to be the
case it will work a material saving in
freight rates for the companies here
whose sugar may 90 to Canada. The
Vancouver refinery, owing to shortage
Of freight bottoms has had difficulty
in securing raws to continue its oper
ations. Under the plans of the inter
national sugar commission there is to
be a distribution of raws through the
medium of the United States sugar
committee. 1t has from the start beer
evident that this applied to Porto Rico
Cuba and Santo Domingo sugars but
the possibility Of diverting Hawaiian
sugar from its former sources had not
come to mind.
While the taking by Canada of sugal
that would otherwise go East will b'
satisfactory to the Island planters il
is likely to raise considerable furoI
in the East where already loud clamOr
ing for more Hawaiian sugar has beer
heard. On $4,000 tons the saving il
freight over water charges to the Eus
would be more than a quarter of I
million dollars and over rail rates, By
which route it would probably have tt
go, the saving would be about hal
a million. 1t would Also mean speedie
deliveries and returns.
