his numerous campaigns of the last

He declared that the Kaiser among
his repeated appeals to heaven and
references to d divine partnership had
never once mentioned in such conncc-
ton the name of Christ or Christianity
and the reason for it was that the
Kaiser was really Mahomctan. lie
had built himself palace on the Mount
of Olives, and had declared himself the
protector of the faith of lsam CON

thus had barred himself from Christ

With Evading Duty on
S1,750,o0O Gems

Max, Joseph and Paul Goldmuntz,
mond importing firm at 81 Nassau
Street, were indicted yesterday by the
Federal Grand Jury. charged with con-
spiring to defraud the United states
government Of customs duties on dia-
monds brought here, in spite of the
British "black list" from Belgian ter
ritory occupied by the Germans.
According to the evidence presented
by Assistant United States Attorney
Harold Harper, the firm imported into
this country Sl,75o,ooo worth Of the
finest gems within the last two ana q
half years. The concern does a hus;-
ness of Sl,5o0. 900 yea
The indictments charge that the
brothers. working through dummies"
both in Europe and here, underv&iued
the diamonds imported. and, 1t Is al
legged, dcfrauded this government of a
large part Of the 20 per cent duty oM
the stones.
Members of the firm we're indicted
last October for diamond transactions
to Canada, and had been for several
years on the British "black list" To
cvade this restriction on their impor-
tations, the Goldmuntz brothers. it is
charged, hired men to conduct the
business of handling the diamonds,
which were turned over after passing
safely through the customs. The last
shipment, worth 100000. arrived six
weeks ago, and has been seized by the
Federal authorities.
The strange disappearance of !'er-
nard Swcyer, one of the firms travel
ling agents, after he had testified be-
fore the grand jury, led yesterday to
the arrest of his wife, Carrie, at their
home, 500 Eagle Avenue, The Bronx

teria witness. 1t is believed she knows
the whereabouts Of her husband, who
is alleged to have given damaging

The three brothers are of Austrian
birth, and one of them, Max, is in
Holland as importing and shipping
member Of the concern. Their father
Lazarus Goldmuntz, was placed on trial
here twenty years ago for a similar
offence, the jury disagrceing. The two
brothers here are now held under
heavy bail.
