by the government today for the for
feiture of works of art be.onglng to
Mrs. ‘Jack” Gardner, of Barton, and
smuggled Into the United f*~atcs by
Mrs. Emily Crane Chadbjurne, of
Chicago.
The filing of tbe suit today In the
United Statea district court brought
to light figures which Indicate that
unsuccessful smuggling la a costly
adventure. When Mrs. Chadbournc
brought Mrs. Gardner's art treasures
into the United Statea from Eny’and
last summer she listed them at the
custom house as ' household effects.'
roughly valued at ts.000. An
prataer In O'.lcngo placed their value
at $82,411. Mrs. Chadbourne was
compelled to pay the regular duty on
this valuation, amounting to $25.SOS.
and a penalty of $4,205. a total ct
$70,408. This, however, gave her no
right to tho property. It she wishes
to regain that, ahe must still pay the
apnralsed value of the shipment, $82.-
411.
No move in this direction. It ti
said, haa been made by either Mrs
Chadboume or Mrs. Gardner.
Would Be Costly Redemption
Mrs. Chadbourne'a only legal con
necti?n with the case at present h
that she may redeem hie property.
Should ahe choose to take thla course,
the total cost of her experience with
the customs officials would reach
$152,880.
Mrs. Gardner, whose enthusiasm as
an art collector baa made her known
on two continents, and Mrs. Chad-
bourne, a member of the wealthy
Crane family of Chicago, met In Paris.
Whon Mm. Gardner decided to ro
turn to America she turned a num
her of her grt treasures over to Mrs.
Chadhourne. The latter, transferring
her residence to England, used them
In decorating her new home. When
•he In turn started for her native
land, ahe decided to bring back with
her tfie valuables entrusted to her by
Mm. Oardner with the purpose of
turning them over to their owner.
When the esse came to light friends
of Mrs. Chsdbourne declared that.
Ignorant of business anj legal tech
nicalities. Mrs. Chsdbourne actually
believed that the works of art were

Some Recent Experiments at It In New
Zsaland.
London Morning Post.
The desperat* expedient at raln-mak
Ing experiments has lately been put to
th# proof at Oamaru. In New Zealand.
Th# method employed waa that of de
tonating large quantities of explosives
on nh* tops of hills. As the “raln-mak-
Ing” took place at about the sain* time
that a break-up of the drought was Immi
nent. and aa human nature Inclines to a
belief In the "wonders” of science. It
waa widely reported that in some
stances the explosion* had brought the
mlu down. Fortunately, tho whole of the
experiments were carefully recorded and
supervised by & trained meterologtit, who
gives an unprejudiced account of them In
fiymon'a Meteorological Magnslne. Rev.
D. C. nates, the observer In question,
arrives at the conclusion, with which no
one who Impartially surveys the tacts
will disagree, that tha explosions of
with evoking the rain, and that the ener
gy these artificial expedients developed
—aa puty In comnarlsoa with the great
ttural forces which wero producing a
cyclone over thousands of square miles
when the rain fell. In torn* general ob-
eervat Ions on the experiments Mr. Bate
remarks that the explosions had appar
ently no more effect on the vast expanxe
of air than would the atriklng of a match
In a room. The forces arrayed aga'A
artificial changes In the atmoepher* are
tremendous, and almost beyond concep
tion. About a thoumnd units ot heat an
needed to transform a pound of water to
vapor. When vapor Is transformed Into
water latent heat ta liberated to a cor
responding amount. Now an Inch of rain
coiTOepeaia to about €$.*00 tons to the
square mil*. The heat developed or re-
sod, therefore, under euch conditions
condensation from vapor to water
ah! consequently demand sn equiva
lent in work equal to a hundred million
bores power working for Fair an hour.
The force of the mightiest explosion, with
all Its age put forth Into the air. U tn

President-elect William H. Taft to
night left for Hot 6prlngt, Va., thua
ending the visit to hla home city,
which haa been the subject of wHe
political speculation.
"I have not seen a politician or
discussed a political qjextlon since
coming h«*re," sold Mr. Taft topight.
"I think I have accomplished what I
came tier* to d°. which waa a per
sonal business matter In which there
waa no public interest”
Bishop Oldham, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, who has spent sev
eral years In the Philippines had a
long talk with Mr. Taft today re
garding Phllllpplne affairs, inetden-
tally the blFmp expressed hi# hearty |
approval of the recently published let-.
ter written by Mr. Taft »•• a St. Paul i
preacher, making clear his position |
relative to the CatboUo Church In the,
Philippines. Before leaving at 9
Cclnck tonight Mr. Taft was the guest
at a dinner given by Edward Harri
son. a long-time friend.
Late today, at the pike street home
of Charles P. Taft, where Mr. Taft
waa a guest, a servant came to tfm
president-elect and announced: "A
man at the door, who savs that you
would not know him by name, wants
to eee you.”
A Personal Appeal.
"Send him in.” was the quick re
sponse, whereupon there was ushered
before Mr. Taft a young man clad in
workman's clothes.
“I want to get into the army,” he
replied to Mr. Taft's question.
"I waa told that because of a fault
In my eye, I could not get in, but
was told to get glasses and I could
get into tho hospital corps, and n»>\v
they say that I must ftave some eg-
S erlence to get Into the hospital corps,
ut I have my glasses.”
Mr. Taft remarked: "Well, young
man, you look to me like the typo
of man w* want In the army and If
you will write me a letter at Hot
Springs I will aeo that It gf-ts consid
eration from the proper officers."
Mr. Taft today told friends that he
would return to thla city two weeks
prior to hla departure for the Inau
gural ceremdniea at W,Mhlngton and
would go from hla home here to thei
capital. H* la planning i Mp to |
