MEN WRAPPED IN LACE
CAUGHT ON THE SHIP
Smugglers Come to Grief
In New York
SWINDLING SCHEME IS EXPOSED
Shirts and Coat Sleeves filled With
Costly Laces and Their Bodies
Wrapped With Laces Worth
$25 Yard.
NEW YORK, Sept. G.—A well or
ganized scheme for smuggling lace
and women’s dress materials came to
grief yesterday when customs officials
ordered the arrest of W. T. Hardy
and Burton Baldwin, cabin passengers
aboard the steamer Kranprinz Wil
helm, an hour after the arrival of
the vessel.
The search of Hardy’s baggage re
sulted in the discovery of several
thousands of dollars' worth of lace,
which was pinned inside shirts, pa
jama suits, sleeves of coats and legs
of trousers in the trunks and in the
pockets of a huge traveling eoat,
which Hardy carried on his arm.
When customs Inspector Camp
bell looked into the side of the first
shirt and saw it was full of lace, Har
dy said coolly: “Never mind taking
out the others; they are all alike.”
Yard after yard of costly lace was ta
ken out and piled upon the pier.
Only a small quantity of lace was
found in Baldwin's trunk, and that,
he said, had been put there by Hardy.
Incidentally Hardy and his ship-mate
were also overhauled. Wound around
the body of Hardy was thirty yards
of hand-made lace, valued at about
$25 a yard. He accepted the expo
sure with smiles.
The customs officials think they
have uncovered a syndicate of smug
glers who have within the last four
years brought into this port more
than $1,000,000 of dutiable goods.
The two men, it is stated, are in
business as dressmakers in this city.
They were each held in $2,000 hail.

HORSE TO BE ADDED
TO BILLS OF FARE
Montreal Getting Ready to Dine
on Old Dandy.
MONTRFTvij, Sept. o.—Choice eq
uine steaks, colt veal, horse Hambur
ger with onions and similar delicacies
may soon be served at Montreal cases,
if present plans for the erection of
a special abattoir for the slaughter
ing of horses .are put into execution.
Dr. Laberge, municipal health officer,
favors the project, and declares that
there is no reason why horse meat
should not be placed on the market,
especially since the price of beef is
now so high. Horse flesh is now uni
versally used in Prance, and it is be
lieved that the large French popu
lation in Montreal would serve to
make the project successful. If es
tablished, this will be the first horse
abattoir in America.

attractive young lady, whose age was

COREYS BEGIN
> SOCIAL FIGHT
Occupy Suite at a Lenox, Mass.,
f Hotel.
LENOX, MASS., Sept. 6.—William
Ellis Corey, president of the Steel
Trust, and Mrs. Corey, formerly Ma
) bel Gilman, the actress, are at a local
hotel, where it is currently rumored
they are to conduct a social campaign
to enter society.
They motored up from New York,
and as the hotel was turning guests
away and their order for rooms had
gone astray, some difficulty was en
countered in securing rooms, until
Corey was recognized and immediate
' ly assigned to the royal suite, which
? costs S3OO per day.
• Mr. and Mrs. Corey lunch and dine
s in the main dining room, and Mrs.
Corey's gowns excite comment and ad
i miration among the women guests.
" They are all French gowns. Corey
f has given a carte blanche order for
flowers for his rooms, and Berkshire
‘ florists respond with their rarest or
i chids.
• Daily they motor about" Lenox and

! said they will later examine.
FORAKER ON THE
CONSUL’S TRIAL
; Will Oppose Man Who Figured
in Brownsville Probing.
> WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. —An echo
, of the Brownsville affair will be heard
. in the Senate next winter when Sena
! tor Foraker will oppose the confirma
-1 tiou of the promotion of P. Merrill
; Griffiith, of Ohio, from the consulship
t at Matamoras, Mexico, to a more im
• portant post in the diplomatic ser
vice.
Matamoras is across the Rio Grande
■ River from Brownsville, and Foraker
• claims that Griffiith exerted all of his
> influence against those who were
. sent to that part of the country to
i secure evidence for the Constitution
League, a colored organization. It
was not safe for the agents of the
Constitution League to stay in
, Brownsville while they were search
: ing for evidence, and they took re
fuge in Matamoras. The Senator
thinks Griffith has been promoted as
a reward for his services in the
Brownsville affair.
SEND WINE GRAPES
TO FRANCE
California Fruit Dried and Ex
ported in Large Quantities.
FRESNO, CAL., Sept. G.—Like
■ “sending coals to Newcastle,” Califor
nia growers are sending grapes to
France to be made into wine; and the
business is profitable. In due time
much of the wine made in France
from dried American grapes comes
bacy to this country and is sold for
fancy prices. A large number of
contracts have been made with small
growers who instead of selling their
Zinfandel grapes to the California
Wine Association as they are picked
from the vines, dry them and sell them
for shipment.
The good prices can be obtained for
these grapes in the French wine trade
this year is explained by the fact that
the stringent laws against adultera
tion there have just gone into effect,
and the French growers have taken
advantage of this to raise their prices
and in retaliation the winemakers are
using American grapes.
THAW’S NEW LAWYER

RINGLING FORMS BIG
CIRCUS MONOPOLY
Ringling Brothers Gel Control of
Other Large Shows.
CHICAGO, Sept. 6. —Friends close
to the Ringling Brothers assert that
the deal had been closed whereby the
Ringlings will take the Barnuin &
Bailey shows. This also gives them
control of Buffalo Bill's show, and
they have a working agreement with
Hagenback’s and Pawnee Bill’s shows.
The figures are not given, but recently
it was estimated that the Barnum and
Bailey aggregation was valued at
$5,000,000. The deal will give the
Ringling Brothers an absolute mono
poly in the big circus line and open
to them New York and other cities
that were closed by agreement with
their former rivals. It has long been
the ambition of John Ringling to he
the circus king of the world.
