He has a pleasant personality and at leust for the present #@ bubbling, over with good spirits, Not only has he made a great reputation at @ bound by this victory, but he has an @ssured fortune within his grasp by feapon of the connection which he has gust formed in this city, Victory Over Former Chief. To Mr. Beck one of the most gratify- ing things about his victory was that he won it over the man who appointed him Assistant Attorney-General, This an was ex-Attorney-General Griggs, ehief counsel for the Northern Securi- ties Company ‘inethe litigation, Not that there is any personal feeling on the younger man's part against Mr. Griggs, but he can't help remembering at ‘Hcked his boss.'’ “It strange that I should have been pitted against Mr. Griggs,’’ he sald to- @ay. “I don't want to speak about win- @ing over Mr. Griggs, but still I am mot permitted to forget.

DODGE LOSES SUIT FOR GEMS, U. S. Judge Holt Decides Her Necklace and Other Jewels Were Liable for Customs Tax. In the United States District Court to- fiay Judge Holt decided that the gems which Mrs. Phyllis Dodge brought into Nhia country four years ago were sub- fect to duty. Mrs, Dodge now must aither appeal or pay the duty on jewels @ppraised at $39,000 by the customs om- elals, Mrs. Dodge probably will appeal, and the case will drag on for a few more ears, Judge Holt in his decision says the an- @wer filed by th jefendant making cer- tain admissions as to the purchase of the gems and the fallure to declare them mwas sufficient in his judgment to render the jewels subject to duty, in accordance With @ decision of the United States Court of Appeals, ‘Mrs, Dodge's jewels were seized when @he returned from Paris in 189. Among them was a costly diamond and pear) mecklace. The case was first won by Mra, Dodge, Judge Brown holding that she was in- Bocent of wrong-doing. The Govern- ment appealed the case and the United Btates Court of Appeals overruled the decision of the Jower court and ordered @ new trial. Mrs, Dodge spent the summer of 16% fn Paris, She was seen in the restau- venta and theatres frequently with a Treasury agent. It is sald that he taid her she would not have to pay duty on hher jewels if she did not doclare them und promised to speak to (he customs officials in Now York. He did speak to the inspectors, but he only warned them that Mra, Dodge was bringing the jewels through, When she ‘@id not declare them ner beggage was @earched and the gems selsed by ‘the Government. Her attorney at the first Grtal said that she bad been led into a wap by the Treasury agent. W.

Mr. Beck was also asked the point blank question as to whethor, In his opinion, all railroad combinations were co be prohibited or simply regulated. He dectned to answer di and con- tented himself with sayin, “In my brief to the Court tn this Northern Seourities case 1 held that the suppression of competition and the restraint of trade are the same. On that tha decision of the Court wis based.” Mr. Beck has been eleven years in the je Government service.
