CUSTOMS INSPECTOR
INDICTED FOR GRAFT
Isadore Cohen of Brooklyn
Levied 800 on Passengers
He Aided, Is Charge.
MAKES DENIAL IN COURT
Case Is First to Develop Out
of Scandal Exposed by Col
lector Newton.
MAKES DENIAL IN COURT

An indictment charging Isadore Cohen,
a customs inspector of % Sheppard ave-
nue.. Brooklyn. with soliciting and re-
ceiving money in connection with MS
official duties was returned yesterday by
the Federal Grand Jury in the United
States District Court. The action OF the
Grand Jury is the first of its kind arising
out of the customs scandal which was
disclosed recently by Byron r. Newton
Collector of the Port.
Cohen was arraigned before Judge W.
II. S. Thompson, pleaded not guilty 70
the charges and was released on S7,000.
He has one week in which to chanGe
his plea.
The Indictment contains four counts,
each charging the defendant with solicit
ing and receiving money from passen-
gers. It alleges that on December l.
1920, Cohen received 800 from passen-
gers who arrived on the steamship Aqui-
tania Cohen. 1t is alleged, said they
would be kept late If he had to go
through their baggage. and suggested
that It could be fixed so that they could
get away quickly.
The second count charges that Cohen
informed an elderly woman, who arrived
on the Aquitania September II, 1920.
that she had placed too high a value on
her property. He reduced the amount
of valuation, It is said. and later called
at the woman's home and received $l0O.
In the third and fourth counts the
defendant is charged with having OBJ
tanned $40 from two sisters who arrived
on the Baltic on August 81, 1920. and
$40 from young man.
Earl Il. Barnes, Assistant United
States Attorney, said he did not believe
1t advisable at this time to give out the
names of the passengers who swore they
gave money to Cohen. He said that
several other indictments are being pre-
pared as result of the recent expose OF
customs conditions.

Henry ]. Fischer. a coffee merchant
living at 1T Briggs avenue, Richmond

Any Man or Woman
Ashamed of His
or Her Calling
or Business

will never succeed in it. The
man who said, II never wanted
to be anything but mechanic,
had the right feeling about his
respectable and honorable daily
work.
Wherever the man is proud
of his honest trade and works
at it faithfully, he not only sue
ceeds but gains honor in his
calling. On the contrary, the
man who is all the time bewail-
ing his inherited or chosen
work seldom prospers as much
as the man in love with his
trade.
Brooding with dissatisfaction
of our employments instead of
adding to our strength and
prosperity tends to weaken and
destroy our homeliest toll.
Seeing something to fret over
is spirit-tiring, and steers any
boat we are rowing upon the
rocks of disaster.
This Store, instead of finding
articles to sell cheaper, has ever
sought to better the merchan-
disc it sells.
Our purpose is not simply to
sell, but to excel in every way
possible.

The New SPRING Fashions for WON

Spring has made a very
definite impression upon
the fabrics that fashion
women's suits, wraps and
frocks. The collection of
early. modes now on view
in the Women's Fashion
Salon are variations of the
same theme,-that of ex-
quisite material, made with
perfect simplicity, to at
tain which requires very
fine workmanship.

Women S New Suits


are all exponents of this
thought.
One is Immediately impress
sed by the wonderful fineness
of their material-tricophine,
Poiret twill, picotine, twill cord
and tricotine in pewter gray,
beige, wren tan and midnight
blue.
We call attention to
The meW trotteur suits
with the Godet ripple az
the side seams of the coat,
and to the other new
trotteur with the short
coat that manages to be
long wasted. These are
two unusually good models
this spring.
Of course the severely tail
ored suit with narrow belt
is still holding favor with many
discriminating women.
Many of the new suits are
beautifully hand embroidered
with silk and with fine metal
thread.
In the collection are some
most lovely 3-piece suits that
have bodices Of heavy canton
crepe and that combine beige
or gray and midnight blue.

GRAIN YIELD ABERDEEN

Aberdeen, Aug. 1s.-As threshing
progresses in the northern half Of
the state there is no definite in
ease in ths percentage Of the yield
recorded by producers. Yields are
reported to be of the best quality
grain but acreage averages light and
is only SO percent of normal crop.
Alfalfa and corn crops, the equal
of other years, will Offset the dam
age csused by the poor return on
small grains. Corn is filling out rap-
idly and is already past the "roast-

The rye crop is heavier this year
than in former years and this crop
is moving to the markets in great
quantities.
