S. Prosecutor Says. BY LEMUEL F. PARTON. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, November 21.-— Uncle Sam is fighting a losing fight against jewel smugglers. The arrest of the singing waiter, the handsome police- man, the respectable jeweler and his attractive daughter is just one more instance of the virtual impossibility of keeping anything so small as a dlamond out of a country so vast as America. “It just can’t be done,” Alvin McK. Sylvester, assistant United States at- torney, sald today. Mr. Sylvester is prosecuting the case against the four alleged jewel smugglers, one of whom was caught on the steamship Beren- garia with a consignment of diamonds valued at about $50,000. “The most vigilant police work in the world is made ineffective by the in- numerable ways of concealing a jewel,” Mr. Sylvester continued. *“Before the smugglers began bribing steamship em- ployes they resorted to many clever schemes in concealing the gems on their gel’sons, or in some article which they rought in. The use of members of ship crews made this unnecessary, and probably these elaborate devices are used less than formerly, but it still is all too easy to get them in. Tariff Cut Is Urged, “Considering the advantage which a smuggler has in beating the 20 per cent duty and the pressure of countless of millions of dollars worth of jewels on this market, it is easy to see that possibly nothing but the reduction of tariff, which the American Jewelers’ Protective Association is now discussing, will solve the, problem.” “About a year ago Florent Lamont || 'was reported to have been trapped with a consignment of diamonds in the heel and toe of his shoe as he landed in New York. It was revealed then that there was an international diamond smuggling conspiracy, ceniering in Amsterdam, whose shipments might reach as much as $10,000,000 annually. There were hints that Lamont’s arrest might lead to the heart of the con- spiracy and stop the growing iilicit traf- fic. Lamont pleaded guilty and was given a sentence of six months. It is again announced that the international | smuggling ring centers in Amsterdam, and the present case has all the old familiar outlines, with the exception of the fact that the estimated annual dealings of the smugglers are now put at from $35,000,000 to $50,000,000, in- sbca%hof sé’DvOOD.OOG. “The evidence is that this is an American instead of a European plot in its origin and central operation,” said Mr. Sylvester, “although its work- ing headquarters are in Amsterdam. Apparently it is an alliance of Ameri- can dealers (who, on receiving the gems, get the greater portion of the profit) who originated the scheme and who maintained it. We have reason to be- || lieve that the latest arrests will lead to ramifications of the plot, showing that the purported conspirators are organized to keep a steady flow of dia- monds in. “The American Government has a large staff of agents in Europe watch- ing the sources of jewel supply and tracing every consignment as closely as possible. This work accomplishes a great deal, but one has only to imagine what he would do if he had to bring in a few diamonds in order to see the all but hopeless difficulties which the Gov- ernment agents-have to meet, . Small Profits to Aides. “It is not to understand how smugglers are able to obtain their allies on the boats and ashore when you take into account the profits of the latter. William Ballyn, the steward, and John McIntyre, the policeman, according to our evidence, got only $300 between them—McIntyre $200 and Ballyn $100— for’ bringing in this last lot of $50,000 worth _of diamonds. In the last two years Ballyn is alleged to have delivered about 10 or 12 consignments and his takings have been only about $1,000. ‘The consf himself, working on that margin left by evading the tariff, hasn’t any too much room to work in when i/lau consider the danger and the over- ead in his business.” Morris Landau, for whom, according to the Federal authorities, Ballyn had brought the diamonds to America, is a Maiden lane jeweler, owning a re- spectable and conservative business. His daughter, also arrestéd, had been far beyond- any imputation of illegal traffic. His son, it is charged, acted as European agent in the smug}ling, In this connection the Federal investiga- ! tors note that smuggling is taking on a new aspect with the disappearance of the known professional smugglers and he entry of persons ordinarily beyond uspicion, making the problem of the customs officers much more difficult.

T0 VISIT NEW “SUB' V-4, Navy’s Largest Under- water Craft, Is at Navy Yard for Inspection. ‘The fleet submarine V-4, the largest and latest in the United States fighting fleet, is at the Washington Navy Yard, where she arrived yesterday from An- napolis. While primarily here to re- ceive from the naval gun factory her quota of 60 mines—fqr she is the only mine-laying submarine in the Ameri- can naval service—and for certain work on her armament, she will be the center of numerous inspections by naval offi- cers and civilian officials of the Navy Department. The general public also will be given an opportunity to see the fighting craft. as Lieut. Comdr. W. M. Quigley, com- manding officer, said that the public would be permitted aboard her after 4 o'clock in the afternoon today, tomor- row and Friday, and all of the after- noon hours on Saturday and Sunday. The vessel is scheduled to leave Mon- day for her home port, Provincetown, ass. Lying astern of the presidential yacht Mayflo in shining hite, buff have chosen!

Then give us your old suit or overcoat and well allow you $5 against the cost of the clothes you you and brass, the latest undersea fighter furnishes a striking contrast in her somber gray, with her gigantic con- ning tower and two great deck guns just showing above the quay to which she is moored. Reaching her Interior through a hatch, just large enough for a man of ordinary girth, and down a steep lad- der, may be found nearly 400 feet of machinery, with the bulkheads lined with throttles, valves, gadgets and what-not, all of which have their duty in submerging and raising the great craft and putting her in service for attle. Quarters appear to be com- fortable, although not spacious, even in such a large boat as the V-4, Built for 300-Foot Submersion. The vessel, on a shake-down cruise, has been down to a depth of 200 feet, although she was built to withstand pressure for operation at a depth of 300 feet, and Comdr. Quigley said that he would take depth before he returns to Province- town. That she will be able to op- erate with the great battleships of the fleet with comfort was indicated on the voyage south, according to the captain, for she was in the same storm which sent the steamer Vestris below the waves, and she rode the surface well with no discomfort to officers and crew. She has a crulsing radius of 20,000 miles, a surface speed of 15 knots with her Diesel, engines and eight knots submerged, running on her electric mo- tors. The vessel left Provincetown October 22 last, and en route put into Newport, R. I:. Hampton Roads, Va. and An- napolis, where she w midshipmen there studying cers of the Navy, and also stopped for Goldenberg’s—the her down to that |- a brief period at Dahlgren, Va. the Navy's proving grounds.
