SMUGGLING SCHEMES TRICKS THAT ARE USED TO EVADE THE PAYMENT OF DUTIES. The Part a Porous Plaster Played In One Big Diamond Case—Even Coffins Used In an Effort to Circumvent the Customs Inspectors. The old special agent with the gris-sied mustache took his cigar out of his mouth, regarded it critically for a moment and then said slowly: "Um, yes; I suppose they have all sorts of new tricks and are constantly devising others, and I don't doubt that they succeed in beating the customs house officers every now and then. But they don't seem to be doing anything spectacular just now. Perhaps they're uncaught as yet. "You know, these people who make a business of smuggling, and I mean the people who try to bring in thousands of dollars' worth of things at a time, are as keen as a knife blade. They're not ordinary people; they've got all the daring and ingenuity of the old time successful cracksmen, and it takes a mighty good man to get ahead of them. Sometimes the customs house people, even the special agents of the treasury, are dead up against it when it comes to dealing with this cool and clever class of crooks. "Now, just let me give you an example of the astuteness of one of them at least. It will show you the sort of thing we had to deal with in the past. "One day a cablegram reached the treasury department, signed with the name of a treasury agent in France, stating that a certain passenger on a certain steamer bound for New York had with him about $50,000 worth of fine diamonds which he intended to smuggle into the country. A full description of the man accompanied the notification as well as a general description of the stones. The steamer and the stateroom occupied by the passenger were noted, and we were warned that he might attempt to change his appearance by removing his beard, which was full and pointed at the time the steamer sailed. "The most interesting part of the message was the statement that the passenger would probably have the gems concealed beneath a porous plaster spread across the small of his back." person with the piaster had sent us the cablegram himself and brought in a trunkful of things, because we had not looked at all carefully through his baggage. Now, what in the world could any one do when he was up against a crook like that one? "Now, doesn't that give you some idea of the people with whom we have to deal? There are lots of crooks just as clever as that one, and they're lying awake nights studying out devices by which to get ahead of the customs authorities. It wasn't so very long ago that we discovered a very pretty little scheme by which the government had been losing thousands of dollars of duties. It was in the importation of rare and costly laces from France, and it's somewhat unpleasant. "A rather careful tab had been kept upon the lace branch of the smuggling business, but it was found that many thousands of dollars' worth of valuable pieces were coming in under the very noses of the officials. And at last the method was found out by the horrible process of opening a dead body which had been shipped to this country to a small town in the west. Concealed in the body was a hermetically sealed canister, and inside this were found pieces of lace worth at least $15,000. You see, the smugglers, as we afterward discovered, had several times purchased the bodies of the dead in Paris, paying 30 francs for them, and within them had placed tin canisters containing the laces. The bodies were regularly shipped with death certificates and all complete and consigned to obscure persons in out of the way places in this country, ostensibly the bodies of relatives who had passed away abroad and were being sent home for burial in the family plot. It was scarcely reasonable to suspect that smuggling would be attempted in such a way, and indeed it was a long time before the authorities got track of it. "Smuggling is a peculiar thing," he continued meditatively," and it appeals particularly to women. There are many women—at least there were—who used to give the customs authorities no end of trouble. They were ingenious too, and whenever we found a woman we already suspected the possessor of a small dog our suspicions were greatly strengthened. It is a fact that these women used to make use of the dogs to bring dutiable things into the country. Diamonds and the like were not infrequently found attached to the..." had with him about $50,000 worth of fine diamonds which he intended to smuggle into the country. A full description of the man accompanied the notification as well as a general description of the stones. The steamer and the stateroom occupied by the passenger were noted, and we were warned that he might attempt to change his appearance by removing his beard, which was full and pointed at the time the steamer sailed. "The most interesting part of the message was the statement that the passenger would probably have the gems concealed beneath a porous plaster spread across the small of his back. Therefore we were not to listen to any of his protestations of innocence nor to his eagerness to have his baggage examined in order to establish that innocence. We were to take him into his stateroom and undress him and pull off the plaster. "We had much amusement over the cablegram and also at the new variation of an absurdly old device for smuggling, because time and time again dutiful things had been found wrapped in bandages which concealed supposed injuries. We also pictured the dismay of the man when we should get down to his skin, as it were. "In due season the steamer arrived, and with it the passenger against whom we had been warned. There he was, and he had actually reduced his beard to a pair of thin side whiskers and removed his mustache. We inquired and found that he had made no mention of diamonds upon the declaration before the inspector. "Before he had a chance to get ashore one of the special agents went to him and quietly asked why he had not declared the diamonds he was bringing into the country. He jumped as if something had stung him and then just as calmly stated that he had no diamonds; that we could go through his baggage, his pockets, anything he had. He said it was most remarkable to accuse him of such a thing, but he did not fly into a rage; he acted just as any innocent man would have acted under the circumstances. Then we knew we had to do with a good 'un. "We wasted very little time over his baggage, although he bustled around with the keys at a great rate. One of the men finally said to him that it was useless to waste more time and asked him to return to his stateroom for a somewhat more complete examination. At this the passenger raised a great protest and declared it was outrageous to submit him to such an indignity. When we reached the room we asked him kindly to remove his clothing, saying nothing, however, about the plaster. By this time our man was at white heat. He said he had only come to the stateroom to avoid a scene on deck, and he refused to take off his clothing. Then he was told he would have to be taken into custody and would undoubtedly be searched. "This further infuriated him, and he began a long rigmarole about being an American citizen, with rights and all that sort of thing, and we stood around and waited until he had finished. At last he cooled down a bit and even laughed, saying that perhaps, after all, it was best to end the farce by submitting. But he begged one thing of us, and that was patience, because, he smuggling would be attempted in such a way, and indeed it was a long time before the authorities got track of it. "Smuggling is a peculiar thing," he continued meditatively, and it appeals particularly to women. There are many women—at least there were—who used to give the customs authorities no end of trouble. They were ingenious, too, and whenever we found a woman we already suspected the possessor of a small dog our suspicuous were greatly strengthened. It is a fact that these women used to make use of the dogs to bring dutiable things into the country. Diamonds and the like were not infrequently found attached to the collar of a pet, and there is a story that one woman had an extra hide on her small dog, covering its back and also many yards of lace. Hollow toilet articles, brushes and looking glasses with false backs, even toothbrushes with the handles hollowed out, have been found."—New York Post. Hired Relatives. One of the curious national branches of industry which have grown to enormous proportions in Bucharest, the capital of Roumania, is the noble profession of "hired relatives," which undertakes to furnish to everybody in want of parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, etc., the necessary persons to represent them. Persons who desire to get married, for instance, and have no parents to figure at their respective weddings or who are in possession of such who decline to give their consent to the marriage of their sons and daughters need do nothing more than station themselves near the entrance to the marriage license bureau. There they will soon find themselves accosted by some "gentleman" or "lady," who for a moderate sum of money is willing to take the place of the absent parent. For 20 lei ($4) quite a respectable looking father can be hired. Fifteen lei is paid for a brother, and a fashionably dressed mother costs the same amount. Investigation has disclosed the fact that some of these professional mothers have figured at weddings fifty times a year. The Gibraltar Postoffice. The public space outside the counters of Gibraltar postoffice is frequented by more races than any other similar area in the world. As the hour approaches when the day's letters are due from Algeciras, orderlies from each unit in the garrison gather to await their distribution, and one may hear from them samples of every home tongue or dialect from resonant Gaelic and voluble Welsh to the latest cockney variant of the king's English.

CATARR By this time our man was at white heat. He said he had only come to the stateroom to avoid a scene on deck, and he refused to take off his clothing. Then he was told he would have to be taken into custody and would undoubtedly be searched. "This further infuriated him, and he began a long rigmarole about being an American citizen, with rights and all that sort of thing, and we stood around and waited until he had finished. At last he cooled down a bit and even laughed, saying that perhaps, after all, it was best to end the farce by submitting. But he begged one thing of us, and that was patience, because he said, he had been suffering for a long time with a severe attack of rheumatism in his back, and it was painful for him to get into and out of his clothing. He added that he had been able to obtain some relief from porous plasters and that he never went about without one on his back. "About ten minutes later we got down to his skin, and there was the plaster, and not at all strange to relate, it was uneven and wrinkled and quite lumpy in places. Just at this moment, the psychological moment, if there ever was one, we acquainted him with the contents of the cablegram which had been received from the agent in France, and you should have seen the look that swept over his face. The rheumatism apparently doubled him up in a minute. He began to groan and protest, saying that he must refuse to have the plaster removed, but his protests did not avail him. We took off the plaster and of course found the gems arranged in a pretty pattern work beneath it. And, I tell you, he must have suffered with his burden, because the stones were cut, and each of them had made a hole in his back. "And that is the story of our taking at least $50,000 worth of beautifully cut stones from our wily friend." The old man paused again and again, looked at the end of his now unlightened cigar, and slowly he drew a match from his pocket and lighted it. As he puffed away he said: "But that isn't quite all. Here's the best part of the story. We took the jewels, wrapped them carefully in a handkerchief and went away, very proud of the sagacity of the agent in France and of the ease with which we had carried out our part of the programme. We took the jewels to the custom house; and—puff—and—puff—when they were examined—puff—it was found—puff—puff—that they were—puff—glass." The narrator cocked his eye at us and replied: "Yes, glass.

Pitt of Santa Ana filed suit asking damages in the sum of $16,643.50 from the Southern Pacific Company for injuries resulting from an accident while in the company's service. Pitt's complaint cites that in January, 1904, while working as foreman of a repair crew in a tunnel on the San Joaquin division his foot was bruised so that he was incapacitated for work. He was sent to the Southern Pacific hospital in Los Angeles, in accordance with a form of accident insurance which he carried with them where by he was to receive free medical treatment for the payment of a stipulated monthly fee to be taken from his regular wages. While in the hospital, Pitt alleges several attempts were made to have him discharged before cured and finally in April he was obliged by the physicians to leave, when his foot was still in a precarious condition. Subsequently, he avers, complications of the injury, caused by his being sent from the hospital before the hurt was completely healed, necessitated the amputation of the foot in October. For lost time and medical expenses subsequent to his discharge from the hospital he asks reimbursement amounting to $1643.50 and for the loss of his foot he wants $15,000. Pitt is now living in Santa Ana and is kept from active work because of the accident. 35c and 40c embroidered handkerchief 25c. Great Eastern, Santa Ana.
