ferred while Collector of Customs
Harry c. Whitehill had a lengthy
conference with Assistant United
States Attorney Allen M. Martin.
Later the collector announced that
a settlement had been made. He
said he had acted under clause in
the customs act which reads as fol-
lows: If the undeclared articles are
mentioned to the customs officers
before examination has begun, or If
they are satisfied that failure tosde-
clare was without fraudulent intent,
such articles may be appraised and
duty assessed and collected on the
passengers declaration; but under
no circumstances will an amendment
OF the declaration be permitted so
as to include articles previously
found by the inspectors"
In formal statement tonight Col
lector Whitehill said that after care
full examination Of the circumstances
he was assured that the nuns had
not intended fraud. Three of them,
he said, were foreigners who were
unable to speak or understand the
English language. The fourth, Sis
ter N. D. Des Oliviers Of the Con-
vent Of Our Lady of Good Help, East
Boston, he quoted as saying:
Our ways and manner of life do
not give us much knowledge of
worldly AFFAIRS
The other nuns were Sisters Isarr
and Perfetu Locaro of St. Anthony's
Convent, Fall River, and Sister Sa-
grade, mother superior of the Con-
vent of Our Lady Gloria, New Bed
ford.
The lace was found sewed into
'petticoats worn by the nuns. They
said they had obtained the garments
in a Montreal convent where they
had stopped while returning from a
retreat at Quebec. The confiscated
lace, which was returned to the nuns
tonight after payment of the duty,
weighed 35 pounds and was said by
experts to be of rare quality.

MERTON CLAIMS

New York, Sept. 1s-tF)-Money

Merton. under redirect exanlina-
ton by United States Attorney En-
DRY r. Buckner, said that the Swiss
bank for which he acted as agent In
procuring the payment of claims for
nearly S7,000,000 Of seized shares Of
the American Metals Company, paid
him S250,000 for the service he rem
dered them. OF this sum, he testi-
fed, $4,000 had been donated to
charities for building Fairgrounds in
Germany.
About $50, 900, Merton said, was
lost when 1t was converted into
marks that deprecated. The remain
ing s125,o00, he said. will be donated
to German charities under obliga-
tons he assumed at his fathers
death.

of trips during the period named. As
everywhere. the tickets must be
shown at the entrance, where they
are punched, and surrendered at the
exit.
In London most of the subways, or
tubes" as they are called, are deep
underground, and so elevators from
the train platforms discharge the
passengers into shop-lined arcades
through which they reach the street
Some of the Paris subways were
built by English companies, and
consequently the trains run to the
left. Express service is practically
unknown, though the London trains
maintain a semblance of one by
skipping certain stops. The signs
indicating such trains read This
train passes --," followed by the
names of the stations skipped, and
many Yankee has been deluded
thereby into believing the train not
only passed, but stopped at those
points.

perhaps in Spain and Portugal. Where
fourth class is found, the seats are
seldom upholstered.
In most countries circular tickets
dixie our pre-war mileage books,
good for a certain amount of travel
anywhere over certain lines or with
in the country, may be obtained. In
some, reduced rates obtain for trips
of over certain length; in others,
tickets good for unlimited travel for
a certain number of days may be
obtained at a flat price.
Throughout Europe, tickets are in
variably examined on entering the
train platform or boarding the train,
and must usually be retained and
surrendered at destination.
Time tables are not freely dis
tributed in Europe, and indeed it is
sometimes difficult to obtain infor-
nation about connections even from
the station agent. On most of the
continent, the 24-hour clock is used,
the hours from l p, m. to midnight
being known as 13 to "a o'clock.
Trains are never commonly referred
TO by their numbers, as in America,
and the story of the American who
with infinite pains had learned the
number of the evening train is clas-
sic How is No. Is running this
evening?'' he asked the station agent.
THE 1884 is reported on time, sir,
replied the infleXible Britisher.
The division of European coaches
into compartments is familiar to
most Americans. Originally these
compartments ran all the way across
the coaches from one side to the
other and access from one compart-
ment to the next was only by open
ing the door and swinging along an
outside running board. Such coaches
are still to be found on local runs,
and are practically universal in
rural districts, but on through runs
on the continent they have been
superseded by CORRIDOR -vestibule
cars. The compartments open at one
side directly out of doors, but on
the other into the corridor, which
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-07-01
runs along one side of the coach.
Reserved Seats

Reserved Seats
Broadly speaking, on European rail
ways there are no separate coaches
consisting entirely of reserved seats,
like the Pullman cars in America. A
few lines in England run Pullman
cars, and of course all compartments
in sleeping cars are on reservation,
but in general the above holds true.
Instead, any seat, number of seats
or compartments in an ordinary day
coach may be reserved according to
regulations which vary IN the diff
ferent countries. Usually a small
fee is required for reserving a seat,
and in some countries, notably Italy,
the reservation protects the seat only
until a few minutes before the time
of departure. After that, the seat
belongs to the one. who gets there
first Throughout Europe, it is the
custom to require the marking of
a seat in some manner when leav'
ing it, for however short time. A
book, gloves, or hat suffices 1t is
sometimes possible to obtain ex-
elusive use of compartment with
out taxing qulCe Oil Ch0 SSe'eS oii0AN
in.
For sleeping, first (and usually
second) class passengers on pay
ment of a supplement have access to
sleeping cars much like the COM
partments in the newer American
Pullmans, where all bedding is sup
piled by the company. On other
II
able where only the mattress is sup
piled, and the traveller must supply
his own covering, if desired. This
can usually be rented, and turned
over to az representative of the rent
or at the end of the run.
i To Americans the total absence of
drinking water on most trains (ex-
cept, of course, in the dining cars)
proves an Inconvenience, but the ma
tves provide themselves with bot
ties of mineral water, light wines,
or beer before leaving, and do not
seem to suffer in the least.
Generally only table-d'hote meals
are served in dining cars. There are
several sittings, and tickets thereto
are issued by attendants.
Baggage
The amount of baggage carried
free varies in different countries, as
also the customs. In England most
trains carry 'luggage vans" or bag
gage cars, in which trunks and other
heavy baggage may be carried, but
in which there are no facilities for
checking, On arrival at destination,
