RUSE UNCOVERS ATTEMPT
Inspector Bumped Into Accused and
Found Two Necklaces Valued at |
3COO In His Hip Pocket—Wife Had
a Brooch and Diamond Clasp.
New York, June 1. —Hiram R. Lyon,
a banker of Minneapolis, who arrived
by the Hamburg-American liner Amer
ika, was bumped into as he was about
to leave the pier by plain clothes
sleuth Tim Donahue, whose special la
finding things concealed In the cloth
ing of smugglers. There was some
thin hard and large in the hip pocket
of the banker, and when Donahue ask
ed him what it was, he answered, ac
cording to Donahue, that it was his
p& cketbook, and Donahue asked hlra 1
to take it out and show it. The banker
then admitted that he had two pearl
necklaces. He said he had bought
them in Europe for 13800 as a gift for
his wife and that he was willing to !
pay whatever duty there might be on
them. Donahue took possession of the
jewelry and made his discovery known
to the deputy surveyor In charge of
the customs men on the pier, and Mrs.
Lyon, who had gone to the street and
entered a car, was called back.
Mr. Lyon, according to Donahue,
then remarked that his wife had a j
brooch valued at >SOO and a diamond i
and emerald clasp worth about SSOO. j
Mrs. Lyon surrendered the articles, 1
but nevertheless was searched by a;
woman inspector, who discovered noth-!
ing additional. The deputy surveyor j
seized all the seven trunks of the i
banker and his wife and they were j
sent to the public stores. The banker .
called at the custom house and said !
he had no desire to smuggle and was !
willing to pay whatever was necea-1
sary. The customs men, In telling :
their side of the case, said that they !
had given Mr. Lyon ample opportunity,
to declare everything that he hfid that j
was dutiable, and that he had put the ;
valuable stuff at $504, adding later, at '
the request of the customs men, $45
for two suit cases bought abroad. An- I
other search of the trunks followed
the discovery of Donahue and a gold
watch valued at about SIOO was found. |
Mr. Smyth said he thought it was a
proper case to submit to United States
Commissioner Russ In Hoboken, and
he ordered Donahue to take the bank
er there a prisoner.
No charge was made against Mrs.
Lyon, but she decided to accompany
her husband to Hoboken. After hear
ing the testimony the commissioner
held Mr. Lyon in $2500 bail, which he
furnished In cash. He was held for ex
amination on June 8.
Mr. Lyon declared on the pier that
he had eleven pieces of baggage, but
as only ten were found, he was asked
about the other. He said it had been
sent ahead by the steamer Cincinnati,
which arrived here about a month ago.
It is a large trunk and has been since
in the government stores. It will be
carefully searched and Its contents ap
puralsed, as the contents of the other
trunks will be, so the exact value of
everything of foreign make found in
them will be presented at the exami
nation of Mr. Lyon.

FIREBUG'S NEW SCHEME
Uses Chemical Compound That Water
Makes More Inflammable.
Paterson, N. J., June 1. —Charged
with having set fire to his store by
means of a chemical compound, the
nature of which hus caused a sensa
tion in police and lire circles, Eugene
Frank, twenty-three years old, was
committed to the county jail by Re
corder Carroll without bail. The latest
freak of the prosphorous like com
pound with which the contents of the
store at BHO Main street were smeared
has sent Fireman Martin J. O'ltourke
to St. Joseph's hospital. O'Rourke was
placed on guard at the store and when
he picked up some of the compound
it ignited in his hands. The hand was
severely burned and O'ltourke may
lost two of his fingers. The police re
gard the compound as the Jiost dau
gerous yet devised for the purpose of
arson, as the application of water only
serves to make it more inflammable.

HITS BRITISH
RULE£ EGYPT
Roosevelt Mokes Sensational
Speech in London.
HE POINTS OUT ERRORS
Say* If Engand Is In Egypt by Right
She Should Stay, If Not She Should
Get Out.
London, June 1. —The freedom of the
city of London was presented to Theo
dore Roosevelt, and he accepted the
honor with a literalness that led him
into a frankness of speech that creat
ed a sensation In old Quildhall.
The former president gave the moth
erland some bold advice as to her
duty toward her most troublesome de
pendency in Africa.
It was, Mr. Roosevelt said, either
right or not right for Great Britain
to be In Egypt and establish order
there. If It was not right she should
get out.
He eulogized British rule in Uganda
and the Sudan. He also declared that
Great Britain had given Egypt the
best government that country has had
in 2000 years, but in certain vital
points it had erred. Timidity and sen
timentality, he said, might cause more
harm than violence and injustice.
"Sentimentality," he asserted, "1B
the most broken reed upon which
righteousness can lean."
Mr. Roosevelt denounced the Na
tionalist party of Egypt as neither de
sirous nor capable of guaranteeing
primary Justice. It was trying to bring
murderous chaos upon the land.
Some nation, said the former presi
dent. must govern Egypt. He hoped
and believed that the English would
decide that the duty was theirs.
As a whole the speech was the most
forcible expression on foreign topics
the distinguished visitor has made dur
ing his European tour.
He dealt principally with the British
ppllcy In Egypt, which 1b today one of
the most discussed of Great Britain's
C'Jtnlal questions.
His outspoken views sent a thrill
through the one thousand auditors
which is likely to be felt outside the
walls of the ancient council hall.
Mr. Roosevelt was driven instate
from Ambassador Reld's home to the
Guildhall, but the weather was not
propitious and comparatively few per
sons witnessed the procession.
Rain fell throughout the forenoon,
keeping most people indoors and only
a few hundred persons were gathered
In the vicinity of Dorchester house to
witness the departure, or in King
street when Mr. Roosevelt arrived at
the hall.
He occupied the lord mayor's coach,
and this was followed by the coaches
of the sheriffs, who wore their uni
-1 forms of office.
The guests of the city government
at Guildhall Included many American
and English business men besides offi
cials of the city. The latter were In
uniform and had seats on the platform
to which Mr. Roosevelt was escorted.
The parchment conveying the free
dom of the city was contained In a
beautiful gold casket. The presenta
tion was made by Sir Joseph Cook
field Dimsdale, city chamberlain, who,
extending his hand to the city's guest,
spoke briefly. Sir Joseph dwelt par
ticularly upon Great Britain's friend
ship toward the United States.
Following the exercises. Sir John
Knlll, lord mayor of Ix>ndon, enter
tained Mr. Roosevelt at a private
luncheon, at which many prominent
personages were present.
