WATCH SMUGGLING CHARGED TO RABBI Aquitania Employe Accused of Bringing in Parts of Timepieces. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 11.—With the arrest of Max Erblich, a Polish rabbi employed in the commissary of the liner Aquitania, Treasury Department officials said yesterday they had suc- ceeded after several years in smashing a ring which smuggled hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of watch | parts into the United States. DIAMOND JUBILEE YEAR Iansburq/z < These exquisite creations were made to sell from 5.00 to 15.00 Erblich, who had charge of the orthodox Jewish diet department on the British liner, was arrested when the ship docked late yesterday. Gov- ernment agents found 700 watch party in a belt the rabbi was wearing. Search of his room disclosed 1,300 more parts, The total value of all the parts found yesterday was estimated by Treasury officials at $5,000. Erblich was held at the customs house on a smuggling charge. The Treasury has sought to end the smuggling of watch parts for severa) years. New York jewelers have com- plained that the market was flooded with foreign-made parts sold at ex- tremely low prices. The duty on watch parts from Europe, Treasury officialy sald, is so high that smuggling is highly profitable. R) 7th,8th&E Our sale last week was a complete sell-out.
