HOW ART DEALERS' DECEIVE Overvaluation of Imported Goods Means of Robbing Customer. NEW TOKK. Oct. IT. The recent ar rest here of a member of a firm of prominent International art dealers for alleged fraud through undervaluation of imports has called attention to an other and strangely different type of fraud which the customs authorities say Is bring widely practiced by art and antl-iue dealers. The government Is not likely to proceed against th's other type of fraud for It brings In large additional customs revenue and Is probably not actionable. It consists In over-valu rg Imports for the sake of deceiving purchasers. Thus, objects worth $11100 or l:0"0 at the outside, are entered as worth 123. in. 1 3 o.i") o anil In some rises even as much as t0.i'0O. The Invoice Is handed In to the appraisers, where It Is sta:nped wltti the tjovernment seal. The Government seal Is then exhib ited to prospective purchasers as a guarantee of the value of the goods, and customers are thus charged from lft to 25 times as much as the gootls would bring under normal condition. Most customers regard the Government seal as a sort of guarantee tu.it the valuation la correct- HURRICONE HITS HAVANA I Continued rTPTn PtT-it rC-) seawalls.

All the steam ers In tha harbor remained at anchor with engines working. Practically all communication with the Interior was cut off and news of the effects of the storm In other parts of the Is Land Is lacking, but It la feared the dajnage was enormous, especially In Havana and 1'lnar Del Itlo provinces. Kraall streams in the vicinity of this city are over their banks, flooding the lowlands and carrying off huts, barns and cattle. Probably many people lost their lives In these sections. A baxge containing all tha outfit of the divers working on the wreck of tha battle ship Maine was carried away and stranded on the rocks of Morro Castle. All of the divers' buoys, stakes and other marks around the Maine were swept away, which probably will delay seriously tha work, of raising: the wreck.

Considerable fear la also felt for residents of Passea Grille, a re sort on the bay. There are at least 50 persons there and It Is believed they will feel the full force of the disturbance. Fortunately, the four days' warning : given by the Weather Bureau servea to put all shipping on guard. Not a boat baa sailed In that time. It Is feared the schooner Brazos, which sailed several days asro, la lost, as no tidings of her have been received. She was bound for Cuban ports, lum ber laden. Untold damage Is being done to the oranges, which gave prom ise of a bumper crop. The trees wera loaded with fruit.

Mr. Pless said that ke Knew nothing of the raid on the Boston offices of the Redeemable Investment Company until he read accounts of the trouble In the newspapers while en route to Vic toria. He denied that there was anything fraudulent in the business methods of the Investment company, and declared that the books of the company wonld show everything; to be In proper order. He expressed the belief that tha troubles of the company are dne to asitatiop of disgruntled Investors who could take advantage of the law to cause action to be faken against the company If the slightest misstatement was found In any of the company's lit erature. Mr. Pless said he would return to P-oston as soon as his business affairs here were settled. He sect a telegram tonight to Manager Charles II.

CHIN SMS IN JAIL Decision Blocks Underground Railroad for Chinese. THEY CAN'T BE "EDUCATED" Order Xot to Admit Contraband Sns peot to Ball Prevent Evasion ol Law Prisoners Barred From Communication. When the United Elates Court yes terday held that It l.ad the right to hold a Chinaman wtlhout ball. 'It the circumstances surroundlns the case warrant It." the officers of the Bureau of Immigration and Assistant United States Attorney Evans bel'eved that they had prepared the mine which would blow up t.io underground rail way traveled by Chinese laborers from Canada to California. To Illustrate the meaning; of the de clslon Judge Bean declared that the reluctance of Chin Wan "to proceed to trial" was sufficiently suspicious to warrant holding him without ball Chin will reman In the County Jail minus opportunity for receiving- a brief education on American costoms and cities, until he is ready to be tried. It la believed that Chinamen, ar rested for being- unlawfully In the United States, will hereafter be granted ball only when they agree to an lmme dlate hearing before the commission ers having Jurisdiction In deportation cases. Wherever delay Is attempted the Chinese will 'be held Incommuni cado In the County Jail and will be deprived of presents which, might con tain messages of any kind. For many months the United States Attorney and Immigration Agent Bar bour have believed that Chinese prls. oners have been enabled to escape de portation through the operations of a 'school" which is alleged to exist In the Chinese quarter of the city, where all of the better known and strong- Chinese families are represented. When a Celestial would be apprehended and could not give an account of himself to the Inspectors, his family friends would come forward with a bond, either cash or security. After securing their liberty It is charged that the men would evade trial s long as possib'e on the pica that they were visitors here from San Fran cisco or some other well known town. and It would be necessary to bring- on witnesses to tell their history to the court. While these witnesses were be ing- found It Is said that the Chinamen were "educated" by their friends and thus enabled to pass an examination before the court. By the docislon rendered yesterday the Federal Court has for the first time squarely interpreted the meaning of the Chinese exclusion Let on the question under consideration. Judge Ilanford. at Seattle, rendered a decision n a criminal case, but as a man de talned for dopor'.atlon Is not a crlm lnal. the decision could not be made to apply. The decision will govern In all Vederal courts of equal jurisdiction in the United States. Assistant District Attorney Evans handled the case for the United States, while Roger B. S'nnott and William W. Banks appeared for the Chinese. LAST "7-11" CASE IS . ENDED United State' Court Orders Timber Claim Returned to Government.

Marie Ware and other members of the land looting conspiracy In Lane County, was wiped from the trial docket. The de fendant was Sebastian C Lilley, who secured one of the timber claims which was to be sold and the profits cast Into the gigantic financial pool. Lilley made no defense as to the charges of fraud In securing the lands, but his attorney, A. H. Clark, fought long on technicalities. The case will not be appealed, and the land will re vert to the Government. Tha court also decldod the contro versy between the United States and Mrs. Jessie if. Wight, charged with fraud in connection with a homestead near Klamath Falls. Prior to her mar riage she resldod In San Francisco. She was Induced by Wight to go to Klamath County arid take up a home stead. Boon thereafter Miss McDonald married Wight and resided with her husband on a claim near the home stead to which she made claim. The evidence was to the effect that Mrs. Wight made only Infrequent visits to her land, and failed to comply with the homestead laws. The lnnd was given back to the government.

Jailer Thompson Finds Her Choking and Recovers Jewel hy Hold ing; Her Across Knee. Adopting ths unique method of hiding what is believed to be the evidence of a former crime Mabel Devine. octoroon, arrested by Policeman Klingel. at First and Pine streets, for a minor offense last nlgiit, attempted to swallow a man's diamond ring. She did this while being conveyed to a cell a few moments later and nearly choked to death before Jailor Thompson succeeded in dislodging the "sparkler." The woman was detected by Klingel In the act of accosting an uncouth ap peering laborer Into an alley. He placed her under arrest on a technical charge. Kn route to the station-housa a few blocks distant the dusky maiden in some manner removed the ring from her finger and held It in her mouth un noticed by the policeman. When taken before Police Sergeant Golta the woman refused to talk or give her name, taking the precaution to droop her head and keep her Jaws firmly set. After repeated efforts to ascer tain her name tho sergeant commanded that she he hustled away to a cell in the woman's ward. While ascending with the prisoner in tha elevator to the designated ward Jailor Thompson enpied the octoroon clutching her throat and gagging violent ly. Stopping the lift between floors Thompson turned his attention toward relieving her distress. Thompson, In his efforts to diagnose the cause of the gyrations of his charge, pried her Jaws apart. In peering Into the woman's hroat Thompson discerned the glimmer from the three small diamonds set In .The hing. which had become lodged cross wise In her throat. Plunging his forefinger down her throat and tilting his prisoner face downward across his knee Thompson dislodged the heavy ring, valued at J2S0 to the surface. As a recompense for his heroic effort. the woman told the Jailor her name and from her subsequent statements reluc tantly admitted that the ring was crooked" and that she was addicted to the use of "yen shee" and cocaine, found among her effects. 8 KILLED DURING RIOT THREE WOMEN AMONG , VICTIMS OF ELECTION' DISORDERS.

BREAKING OUT ALL OVER BODY Itched Dreadfully. When Scratched It would Bleed and Become Very Sore. Could Scarcely Sleep as the Itching was Worse at Night. Dreaded Putting Hands in Water. Used Cuticura Soap and Ointment 3 Weeks. Trouble all Disappeared. "Some time ago I had a breaking out oil over my body. It first started like what we call goose flesh and itched dreadfully. When I scratched it, it would bleed and become very sore. I tried al most everything for the itching but none gave mo much relief. I could scarcely sleep as the itching was always worse at night. My hands were so sore I dreaded putting them in water and after I would wash dishes or do laundry work that required the use of other soaps they were always worse. Thi9 went on for about six months. Then I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and in two or three weeks the trouble all disap peared. I always found that my hands were worse (with a dry scale on them) after using any cheap soap but the Cuticura Soap produced such a soothing feeling on my skin that it was a pleasure to use it. I also know what wonders the Cuticura Remedies have done for a friend of mine, so I would recommend them to any one. Mrs. Delaware Barrett, 611 King St., Wilmington, Del.. Nov. 15, 1909."
