STAR
TRUNKS HELD

New York, June 16.-F-Cus-
tom officials ordered held for furth-
er examination twelve trunks full
Of gowns and other clothing be-
longing to Mary Pickford, screen
star, who arrived with her husband
Douglas Fairbanks today aboard
the Italian liner Roma.
Miss Pickford said that the low
figures in her declaration were due
to the fact that she had received
special prices from Italian mer-
chants. The customs officials,
however, ruled that if these prices
were greatly lower than the same
would have cost in the Unit
ed States, the actress would be
called upon to pay more duty.

They did not indicate what brought
the change in their plans. Stultz
set this Afternoon as . tentative

Miss Mabel Boil, who is at Har-
