In this guise, said Mr. Goldstein, the defendant had obtained money from persons who wanted to come to this country, declaring he could get them in, regardless of any restrictions of the United States Immigration Laws. The Brooklyn complainant was Hyman Tasans of No. 95 South Third Street, who said he gave Pekowsky $950 to bring members of his family from Russia When bail was increased Pekowsky shouted that he would die in Jail.

He is on the trail of an alleged plot to cheat the Government out of millions of dollars in import duties. ‘ The wool, it was learned from Mr. Willlams, had been brought here from South America in shiploads as low grade material for the manu- facture of carpets. ‘There is no duty charged on auch low grade material The authorities were informed through a secret nource, however, that the material should be examined, and upon investigation the wool was found to be of the highest quality, duttable at 50 cents a pound. “We have records,” continued Mr Williams, “showing that 340 bales ar rived in the Port of New York to the order of the Philadelphia National Bank and was entered here by R.

They arrived on the steamships Bon Heur, Southern Cross and the Vestris, according to Mr. Williams, The banks are in no way involved, said Mr, Williams. “Other similar seizures of woollens have been mado," said Mr. Williams, and more seizures will follow. One shipment ot the material now being held up by the Appraiser of the Port came from Montevideo and includes 1,500,000 pounds. It was declared to be carpet wool and, therefore, free of duty. Under proper classification, said Mr, Williams, the Government could collect an import tax of $4,500,000. It was intimated by customs om- clais that the alleged attempted frauds in woollen imports would run into millions of dollars and that sev- eral prominent firms in Boston and Philadelphia would be implicated.
