Asks Governor
To Remove Dukes

Governor Harvey yesterday receiv-
ed a delegation of citizens from Or
angebury, who asked the chief execu-
tive to remove from office Sheriff r.
Fulton Dukes of Orangeburg. Oral
charges of general negligence in the
performance of his duties and unbe-
coming conduct in office were made,
Other charge, too, were put before the
governor, but as none of them were
written, all being made orally, the
governor would not consider them.
Governor Harvey told the delega
ton that he could take no cogniZance
of any charges made in the manner in
which the delegation preferred them.
He also informed the delegation that
his powers were limited In the matter
cf removing sheriffs and that before
sny action. could be taken the grand
jury Of the county would have to act
probably bringing an Indictment
against the sheriff. The men indicated
that they would seek action in Or

Kid Lewis, English
Middleweight Champion,

London, July 17.-Kid Lewis, the
welter and middle-weight champion
of Great Britain, must have learned
much during his long stay in the
United States, despite his reverses in
his last year there, for he has won all
sorts of championships since return
ing home. His latest achievement
was knocking out Frank Burns, the
middle-weight champion of Australia,
making Lewis the title-holder of the
empire in that division.
Up until the 18th and last rounl
of the bout Burns outpointed Lewis,
in the opinion of several boxing ex-
perts, but in that period the Kid made
a clever feint and then crossed a
smashing right to the jaw that land
ed the Australian on his. back. Lewis
was criticized for holding part of the
way. Burns lost the championship,
for which he had come, all the way
from Australia, but he took home q
gold medal for rescuing drowning
man. One night at his training camp
Burns jumped out Of bed and into
the Thames In the dark after the un-
fortunate man, and succeeded In
bringing him ashore.

shareholders in japanese companies.
The question which has frequently
been mentioned, has been brought to
the front again by the recent meeting
Of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha in which
the imperial household is a large
shareholder, and in which bitter dis
pute has been raging over a proposa,
to amalgamatc with another stea,r-
ship company. According to the Jr,.
Shimpo bloodshed was narrowly
averted at the meeting.
1t is pointed out that when the I'M
perial family invested funds in these
companies it was done to encourap,.
enterprises. Now that there is a mar
ket for these shares there is no longer
any necessity for these encourage
ments and the household should invest
Its money in government securities, it
is asserted.
The household officials are also be-
ing advised, and to some extent have
taken the advice to sell some of their
land, much of which both in the cities
and country is lying idle while people
are looking for places on which TO
tuild homes.
According to the latest available
estimate the imperial family owns
5,792,5OO acres of land divided be-
tween hereditary and ordinary prop
nrty; SO,555 or one-seventh of the
shares of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
bG,66O shares of the Bank of Japan;
&O.400 shares of the Yokohama Specie
Bank; 10000 shares of the Industrial
Bank and smaller amounts in numer-
Gus other companies. The value of
+, the shares alone is we'll over $1O,-
100000 while the selling price of the
land has in many localities treble

Paris Sees Passing of Crisis

Paris, July 17.-Europe's four year
Jewel jag" is about over, and the
Paris jewel trade ,fersees the passing
OF the crisis in the trade that resulted
from the dumping of about a billion
francs worth of stolen, confiscated
ard smuggled jewels on the Paris
market. Leonard Rosenthal, the
jewel expert employed to value the
Hspsburg treasure, says the collapse
in the precious stone market was
prevented only by the wars creation
Of enough profiteers to absorb the
oversupply.
This flood of jewels, Rosenthal
says, came in three waves. The first
was brought by fleeing Russian aris-
tocrats who smuggled out family for
tunes in their hair or sewn in the
Innings of their clothing. Sometimes
valuable stones were swallowed to
be recovered by the use of emetics,
and were even embedded in the flesh.
One Russian prince sold for 3,5OO,OOO
francs group of emeralds his an
cestors bought two centuries ago for
100000. One of the Cars emeralds
was sold in Paris.fer 32 times it's
cost. A Russian duke congratulated
upon selling his jewels for 10000, ,O0O
replied, "How can l live on 100000
fracns year," His pre-war expen-
ditures In Petrograd varied between
100000 and 100000 francs year
ly.
The second wave consisted, of Jew
els valued at 3OO,OOO,O0O to, 400 ,OOO,-
900 confiscated by the Soviets. The
third wave was the dispersion of the
collections of king and kinglets
princes and dukes of Germany and
Austria Hungary. The Hapsburg
court furnished the treasure of 1C
centuries and for this Emperor
Charles agents asked 5O,OOO,OOO
francs but took between $4,000, ,s0C
and 30,000,O00.
