ton circles, few from Canada to Chi
cago, thence to st. Paul, after sending
a telegram from the former city notify
ing the Customs Department when he

entry.
After reaching st. Paul, Gen. Nc
Brien made another effort to report his
entry, but representatives of a local
Always company said they could find
no customs agents. The next day, how
ever, a customs agent took Gen. Nc

tigation has been ordered, with view
to possible mitigation of the penalty.

But, in spite of that bad inning,
Adelphia Bissonette remains one of
the main reasons for Brooklyn's PEN
