The ship owners have at last realized tho necessity for roneerted action In view of the growth of the strike. As a result meeting have been held in every affected dis trict for the purpose of deciding upon a policy.

They will lay up their ships rather than yield. The owners at Hull and Goole have taken the same stand.

TO COURT Mrs. Jenkins Jewel Smug gling Case Reaches Head. PARR ilOUXDED," HE SAYS. Detective Employed by Rich Manu facturer Mentioned In Case Denies Hie Men Repeated Damaging Story to Customs Man's Wife. New York, June 27. Such informa tion ns the government has obtained concerning the alleged smuggling into tills port of valuable jewelry said to have been presented , to Mrs. Helen Jenkins, has been turned over to Unit ed States Attorney Wise. Collector Loeb declines to discuss the case, but it was said that ho has started an in vestigation of the report that customs men were bribed when tho illegal im portations were made. The Nathan Allen mentioned is a leather ' manufacturer of Kenosha, Wis,, who Is said to have presented Mrs. Jenkins with tho smuggled jew elry. John R. Collins of Nashville, Teiui., has nlso been mentioned in the case, nnd it is intimated that several persons In New York had something to do with Mrs. Jenkins' Jewels. The customs house became interest ed In the case last April, when Rlch ard Parr, the deputy surveyor who fig ured so prominently In tho sugar over weighing cases, told Collector Loeb that ho had received a tip concerning a smuggling scheme with unusual fea tures. Since then $5,000 worth of jewels which wore in Mrs. Jenkins' possession have been seized by the customs men. It was from Mrs. Jenkins principally that information concerning the smug gling Is understood to have been ob tained, nnd last month Mrs. Jenkins went to Chicago, where she was met by Parr In the course of his investiga tions. It is said that the.government's information concerns jewelry and wearing npparel vnlued at over $300, 000. Since the investigation was taken up many stories calculated to discredit Mr. Parr have reached government of ficers. Mr. Parr has said that during his investigations he had been "hound ed" very much as he was while work ing on the sugar cases. Last Thurs1 day some one called up Mr. Parr's wife on the telephone nnd tried to tell her a story which, if true, would, have reflected upon her husband's perspnnl character nnd which wns mighty un pleasant to hear In nny event. Mrs. Parr became hysterical, and yesterday her child wns born dead. Mrs. Parr, It was said, Is recovering. Her husband says that he means to see the fight through, no matter what happens. Tho Mooney & Bolnnd detective agency, which has for n long time act ed In Mr. Allen's Interests ns far as those interests concern Mrs. Jenkins, denies that it was one of their opera tives who spoke to Mrs. Pnrr on the, telephone. Tho detective agency superintendent denies that any one connected with the office did anything to hinder Parr in his work nnd adds that, on the con trary, tho agency offered to the gov ernment by letter to Secretary of tho Treasury MacVcagh nnd Collector Loeb to hand over their information concerning Mrs. Jenkins. More recently Mr. Allen's counsel, Mr. Forrest, went to Collector Loeb. Ho told tho collector that he repre sented both Mr. Allen and Mr. Collins In this matter, and thnt If tho govern ment could show nny claim or make any specific accusation against either man they would settle at once if It was a case of undervaluation or fail ure to declare and that Mr. Allen would come on at once to face any spe cific charge. Mr. Loeb declined the offer, and it Is understood that he wants the whole affair aired In court in order to clear up the Imputations concerning his own men. as well as to secure tho convic tion of any one who may bo guilty.

EXPECT AN EARLY VOTE NOW Senator Penrose Presents Agreement to Vote on Canadian Pact and Oth er Bills Before July 26, but Pro gressives May Oppose Plan. Washington, June 27. Tho Boot amendment to the Canadian reciprocity bill was defeated In the senate. The Indications are now that reciprocity has free sailing and will pass without atnendent at an earlier date than has been expected. Tho Boot amendment was defeated without any record vote, no roll having been demanded. Vice President Sher man simply stnted the question, there was a mild chorus of "yeas" and a louder chorus of "nays," and he de clared the amendment lost. The Boot amendment proposed to delny the free admission of wood pulp and print paper into this country until all restrictions against the exportation of these products had been removed by tho Canadian provinces. Under tho terms of tho bill in Its present form pulp nnd print paper will be admitted free from all provinces except those thnt maintain export restrictions. Steiis were Immediately taken look ing toward the fixing of n date for voting upon the reciprocity and other tariff measures. An agreement was drawn up by Chairman Penrose of the finance committee nnd submitted to a number of senators on both sides of the chamber. This argument proposes that a vote should be taken by unanimous consent on the Canadian reciprocity bill on July 24; on the farmers' free list on the following day, and on tho Under wood wool bill on July 20. There was considerable Interest man ifested on the floor when Senator Pen rose produced this document. He took It to (the vice president and the two retired to the rear of the senate cham ber and began summoning senators to take a look at It. Senator Martin of Virginia, the mi nority leader, was called in, but was not very much disposed to acquiesce In it. Other Democratic leaders, in cluding Senator Williams of Missis sippi, were consulted. Senator Sinoot of Uta'h, Senator Boot and Senator Sutherland had a look at the docu ment. Senntor Penrose felt rather clieerful when tho senate adjourned and said ho would probably submit the agreement to tho senate later nnd nsk for unanimous consent that it be made the standing order of business. The Progressive Bepubllcnus, whon they learned of the agreement, held hurried conferences nnd the indications ire that even If the Democrats ac quiesce in the agreement a number of the Progressive senators will stand jut against It. In such a contingency the agreement will fall. When the reciprocity bill was called up by Chairman Penrose of the flnnnce committee Senator Cummins of Iowa gave notice of nn Intention to nddress the senate tomorrow upon the measure nnd particularly in regard to amend ments he intended to propose. Announcing he had opposed the reci procity pact since its initial appear ance. Senator Thornton of Louisiana said that if such a free list could be agreed upon as would recompense the farmers for loss he might support the agreement. STARVING BY THOUSANDS.
