CL'TLF.P.Y FRAUDS I'NEARTHED. Secret Seervice . Finds Government Has Uee-n Fleeced of Millions. Washington, June 21 Frauds amounting to several millions of dol lars in duties on Importations of cut lery during the last few years have been discovered by secret agents of the customs service. Under the di rection of Chief Wllkie men have been working quietly in this country and Germany, whence most of the imports come to the United States. Secretary of the Treasury Mac Veagh begun the investigation sev eral months ago. It Is not suffic iently completed to say what action may be taken. Customs authorities say the pecul iar construction of the cutlery, sched ule of the tariff gave opportunity for immense frauds on small unaervaiua tlons. A seizure of cutlery made in New York on Saturday Illustrates that fact. On 43 cases entered as having a valuation olj $10,243, an un dervaluation of only $868 was found, but on that one seizure the govern ment had been defrauded of $3,397 in duties. The duty on cutlery is high. .. ... SPANISH WAR VETERANS MEET. The Rev. It, A. Atwood, of Phlladel pillar-Candidate For Commander. Erie. Pa..

MESSAGE ON PURE FOOD LAW REVISION Washington, D. C, June 21 In a message prepared In New York and transmitted through the white house to congress, President Taft scathingly arraigned the manufacturers of Dangerous drug frauds" and urged congress to amend, at this session, the pure food and drug law to strengthen that act in view of points of weak ness strongly pointed by- decisions of the supreme court. President Taft believes that unless the law is amended forthwith country will again be flooded by "Injurious nostrums." and "cure-alls," common before the food Jaw was first enact ed. : "" The message was transmitted both to the senate and the house. It was said the latter will probably take the matter up at an early date. Repre sentative Sherely, of Kentucky, Intro' duced a bill on the subject. : Explosion Causes Panic.

News That Are Not True Some of (he Stories F.vposed. '"Washington; i). C, June 21 Some of the most remarkable newspaper stories that have ever been sent out on the wires from Washington and that is saying a good deal have been emanating trom no less a place than the white house itself during the last couple of weeks . It it is true that Theodore Itoosevelt. was always in tiie .limelight, of the daily press it was because Teddy was doing things which the public was actually inter ested in and which it wanted to know about. But if William ,H. Tal't is getting an unusual amount of pub licity these days, it is wholly due to a brand new institution which has been established in the white house, in short, a press bureau. When Charles D. Hilles succeeded Charles 1). Norton as secretary to t he president a couple of months ago, it was pretty well understood here that he was going to run Mr. Taft politi cally. Nobody had any objection to that, for it. is well known that the president is not much, of a politician himself, and a little help now and then could do no harm. But neither the seasoned politicians nor the cor respondents in the capital were pre pared for what Hilles actually has done, and many are the criticisms of Ills unprecedented action in running a theatrical press campaign from the executive office of the chief magis trate of the United States. Sooner or later, it is felt, serious trouble will result. Maybe it has already result ed. This article proposes'to relate how some of the rumors which have been circulating throughout the country have been deliberately man ufactured in the white house - and given out to the reporters with the plain intent to have them -written up and thus deceive the public... Whopper No... I.- Not long ago President Tall went to Kaliimore in order to attend a great. Catholic cel ebration in honor of Cardinal Gib bons . Col. llorrsevelt was also in vited to attend. Now about a week before the meeting of the president and tin; ex-president, Mr. Hilles caus ed liio reporters at the white house to send to their papers stories which said that Secretary of the Navy Meyer bad gone to Oyster liay to arrange for tne "conference" -which' the pres ident, and Mr. Roosevelt were to hold. Tims tin? impression was made on those of us who read the daily papers and believe what we road, that here was a wonderful political heart-to-heart talk and that every body was forthwith going to sing that familiar hymn entitled, "Harmony, (Continued on Page Two.) LONDON TAXED TO ITS CAPACITY London.' June 21 London was taxed to its capacity today. It was- corona tion show day. Thousands flocked trom the suburbs to, the city west end to see the decoration and watch the preparation' for tomorrow's great event. Tbe day was filled with interesting events. The royal carriages.- with sear let clad footmen, moved to and fro conveying the king's guests to enter tainments in their honor. The attrac tions Included-the drive of the king and 'queen through the west end to the national horse show at Olympia. Mrs. lica Still Critically III. Washington, IJ. C, June 21 Mrs. Luke Lea, Senator Lea's wife,, whose life was probably saved by the trans fusion of her husband's blood, is slow ly regaining strength.

Gov ernor Kilchin today declined to au thorize the sending of a representa tive to Baltimore to fight the case for North Carolina before the gov ernor of Maryland. Madam Hunter was released tinder a writ of habeas corpus yesterday and her bond re duced to $2,000, pending a hearing before the governor Monday as to whether the requisition papers should be honored. Claiming that the city had exhaust ed its powers and that it is now up to the governor to act in the matter. Col. J. C. L. Harris, personal attor ney of Mrs. ICatman, and Mr. Walter Clark. Jr., city attorney, appeared before Governor Kitchin today and requested that he send a representa tive to Baltimore to present the North Carolina side to'the governor of Maryland. The governor was told that Keina Harris was fighting des perately to prevent extradition and that it looked to them as it this state should do something In the premises. Colonel Harris cited prec. edeiits in somewhat similar cases. Governor Kitchin, however, did not feel Ihat he had authority under the law, as he construed it, and informed his visitors that he could not, un der the law, send un agent to Balti more in this case. I'nless Mrs. Katnian or her friends are able lo raise the money and this seemed .Improbable, today, as Mrs. Katnian had mortgaged her home 10 make the last payment to Keina Harris - the governor of Mary land will have to take the affidavits sent, liim by the city authorities at their face value and either send the woman buck or turn her loose. The hearing on the extradition matter will be at lo o'clock Monday morning".- It developed today that Relna Har ris not only had accomplices in Ral eigh while she was carrying on her swindles, hut that she now has a "friend" hero who is keeping her and her lawyers informed of every move made by the Raleigh police so far :is he can learn and sending her copies of the Raleigh papers.
