I regret that ths chief spokesmen for the Mil In the house has allowed his seal os s partisan to carry him so far as to make statements In which he lends himself to the effort be ing made to asperse my motives, ob jects and Integrity of purpose. He has submitted no proof for these state ments and has nev,r attempted to se riously debate and answer my argu ments, but has contented himself by Iterating and reiterating that I am only endeavoring to abolish ths small gam bler and that I seek to protect the big gambler, and to permit some form of gambling.” Mr. Anderson asserts his earnest de sire to prevent gambling of every character, and’saya that his advocacy of the substitute now In the senate Is on ths ground that It goes much fur ther to prevent speculation than ths Boykin Mil.

The ‘ government Will Institute pro ceedings In the United States circuit court for the Southern district of New York agdtnst M. Citroen, a French dealer In Jewelry, who Imported the necklace, for 1110,000 customs duty. The necklace is In the possession of the government officials In New York. William B. Leads, the millionaire Rock Island railway official, and his wife are the persons who sought to get the pearls Imported, having picked them up In a Paris Jewelry house for the modest sum of 1220,000.' Citroen undertook to do the Importing. The duty on pearls set as Jewelry Is 50 per cent, but oh unstrung pearls the duty Is only 10 per cent. In the belief that he could avoid paying the larger amount, Citroen , took the neck lace apart and brought ths pearls to New York unstrung. Citroen paid a duty of 222,000, or 10 per cent. Then became known that an effort had been made to evade the law and the valuable pearls were seised and held by the authorities.

He Insisted, however, on gutting back the 122,000 duty he had paid. This the government would not allow. Jewelers all over the country are In terested In the case, for If Citroen wins his point all pearls and precious stones In the future will be Imported unstrung, subject only to the 10 per cant duty.
