Mellett, shot down at his gatrage door by unknown gangsters on the morning of July 16, supposedly was the martyr of his own campaign against commercialized vice and political corruption in the city.

Two recent ~investigations re- vealed that the signer of a certifi- cate of antiquity on an article in Japan “knew nothing whatever about the particular merchandise, nor about the general subject of artistic antiques.” J. D. Nevius, acting directdr of customs, ordered the closer scri- tiny hereafter. “It is reported,” he said, “that any curio dealer in Japan will prob- abiy chave in stock a few articles which he honestly believes to be more than 100 vears old, though actual proof Is lacking.
