FEDERAL AGENTS SEEK A BIG SMUGGLING PLOT Coastwise Vessels Landing at Small Atlantic Towns Are Suspected. Washinoton. Oct. IT. A bis smug- ! gllng plot Is being Investigated by Gov ernment agents, who are working on the theory that valuable Jewels, gowns and 1 millinery are being slipped Into small towns on shallow water courses In vessels supposedly In the Atlantic coastwise trade. Every such port of entry and many I small towns not ports are being closely guarded. The net extends from the north ernmost Maine coast to the Gulf of Mexico and the Texas border. Treasury Officials maintain silence with respect to the plot. It was said positively. however, that there Is no particular ves-1 sel under surveillance. One vessel that was watched Is In port and there was nothing suhpIcIous In manifest or cargo. Tlje smaller cities and little towns have not the customs machinery of the larger ports and officials of the Administration have been Informed that there Is a re vival of coastwise smuggling that made life Interesting fi)r the revenue agents In the early days of the republic and that made the revenue cutter service famous. Though the custom? agents are active. It was said to-day that no direct eldence of smuggling had de eloped. The scrutiny takes In power boats and sailing essels, as well as larger vessels engaged regu larly In coastwise trade. How such vessels are supposed to get the contraband will not be dlvulgrd. It Is hinted that the customs authorities have reason to suspect that Home transfers of merchandise to small coastwise vessels hae been made at sea.

The wording lines of the cup craft to be constructed at Herreshoffs for the Vanderbllt syndicate cup sloop to enter the trials for the defence of America's cup next year were placed on a large striving board this afternoon and the board placed on the floor of one of the shops In close proximity to the frame bending space and the shop where the yacht is to be built. The big board occupies the main por tion of the floor of an SO by 50 foot shop, and as fast as the metal frames of the craft are bent the tests will be made on the board, but the bending of frames may not begin for a month yet. Each frame will be placed on the board to have them compare In their position with the design. The shop containing the blackboard has prison glass windows and panes and therefore no opportunity for any one to take a view of the interior. Much secrecy surrounds the place. C F.

Bird, the Republican and Hull Moose candidates 'for Governor, announce their withdrawal from the race. "If they do not do this." thundered Mr. i Foss, "I shall charge them with being parties to a conspiracy to turn the Com monwealth of Massachusetts over to the TamrHany trio, Thomas' P. Riley, Martin, Lomasney and John F. Fltigerald. "Mr. Gardner and Mr. Hlrd are well aware of the fact that neither of them has the slightest chance of being elected Governor. "Mr. Gardner Inaugurated his cam paign by completing the disruption of the Republican party, which began with the Roosevelt revolt and was made worse by the recent primary contest. And the rem nant of Republicans who were with Gard ner In the beginning has gradually fallen away, , "Mr, Bird has not the slightest chance to be elected Governor, and he knows It. His only hope Is to lead Gardner In the vote. The humiliation of the Republicans can be the only result of the Progressive p.iity's exlstenre, and that Is the height' of Bird a aninmon in mis campaign."

During succeeding months newspapers In tho United States printed many columns of matter regarding the engage ment between the Duke and Miss Elklns, and all of these reports were quickly denied by the Klklns family At one time the Pope was reported to have given his consent to the marriage. For a year following the first rumor of her engagement to the Duke of the AbruzzI, Miss Elklns was pursued by persons who tried In vain to get cop flrmatlon of the reports. The Dake Visits America. The Duke himself came to this country, was seen frequently with Miss Elkins and then departed. He went to India later and it was said that he was trying to repair a broken heart through the diver sion of travel. Miss Klklns next was reported engaged to Lieut.

Frlck and those In responsible management of the Pennsylvania Infill road a situation .has developed, which may result In Mr. Frlck's retirement from the directorate. The Frlck-Doiiner group, now the chief minority Interest In the Cambria Steel Company, wants complete control of this Independent steel property. About a year ago Mr. Frlck and P. A, H Wldener bid $50 a share for the tI'.',5iM,100 of Cam bria Steel stock held by the railroad company. This offer was not accepted. Recently It became known that the Pollnk-Block Interests were finding It difficult to finance their Intended purchase of the steel company, Mr. Frlck Is tin del stood to have tnk'eu the position, as n director of the Pennsylvania Rnllio.nl, that the company should hold absolutely to the option terms nnd make no con cession to the Pollak-Block Interest to help through a sale. It Is generally tin- derstood that the option at !6Q a sharo expires with this month, although some believe that It runs or has been extended for thirty days more. A -cording to I epulis. Mr Frlck has expressed himself to wine men In the Pennsylvania Railroad management In1 terms far from their liking. Mr. Ilea tins j endeavored to guide the matter along lints calculated to uphold every moral obligation of the big company. Tho point has been raised that Mr. Frlck. as a director of the railroad. Is hardly In a position to urge sale of the Cambria Steel to the group In which he Is the central figure.
