The story printed yesterday telling of nn at tempt to smuggle $80,000 worth of art treasures into America by Mrs. Emily Crane Chadbourne for Mrs. "Jack" Gardner,, of Boston, proved the sensation of the day in Chicago. All day long Mrs. Chadbourne was kept in seclusion by her brotbi-r-la-law, Mr., E. A. Russell, in Lake For est. She was in the house most of the day, but In the afternoon took a long automobile ride. She denied herself to all callers and her frlcnd3 and relatives, with the exception of her father, R. T. Crane, declined ab solutely to comment on the caae in any way. In Boston Mrs. "Jac" Gardner was equally invisible until late at night, when she consented to talk ifor publication. She denounced the customs officials, declared slio did not know Mrs. Chadbourne was go ing to bring the things to America and by inference declared that she was not in any way responsible for the plight in which Mrs. Chadbouroe finds herself. A different view of the matter is taken by the relatives of Mrs. Chad bourne. The $70,409.18 exacted by the treasury department as duty mid penalty was produced by the rela tives. It Is not at all likely, how ever, that Mrs. Gardner will be per mitted to evade payment of this sum, and should the government impose a further possible penalty of $8),300, Mrs. Gardner also will be forced to settle this little account.

Quickly Dumped on Market. ( By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Aug. 20. -At the opening today the bears in the cotton market started a raid which caused many stories on the floor, some of which were to the effect that Liver more, the young "cotton king," had lost heavily in the decline that fol lowed die raid. In the first ten minutes of trading between 25,000 and 30,000 bales were dumped on the market. Oc tober, which cloced at 9.20 last . niKht, opened at 9.15 and broke to S.K1, showing a loss of $1.90 a bale, it then rallied to 8.89, but imme diately broke again to 8.81. On the floor of the cotton ex change the story commonly circulat ed was that , Joseph A. Patten, a great speculator of Chicago, and Liv- ermore were the sellers. During the excitement attending the raid brokers declared three days ago Livermore was long 300.000 bales, which cost him an average of $9.40. If this story is true today's break represents a loss to him of nearly $3 a bale, or $900,000. At the office of E. F. Kutton & Company, where Livermore makes his headquarters, there was the us ual disinclination to make any state ment about the young operator. ing about $200 a day for food for the homeless negroes. As the fund at his disposal In this emergency is Urn Red It is not at all improbable that the supervisors may be called to de vise ways and means of caring for destitute negroes.
