NAB JEWELER ' AS SMUGGLER Grand Jury Action Is Expected In Case Sometime Today New York, Nov. 20. —(U.R) -A jeweler, his 20-year-old daughter, the chief steward of the liner Berengaria and a smiling patrolman awaited grand jury action today in an alleged conspiracy to smuggle "approximately $500,000" worth of unset diamonds into this country from England. U. S. Treasury agents aboard sought other members of a "ring" or "rings" said to have brought into this country annually from $35,000,000 to $50,000,000 in unset jewels without paying the 20 per cent duty fixed on such goods. In particular they sought a man said to have been described by the steward, William Ballyn, as “L. Steele." who allegedly handed him the diamonds in Southampton, England, whenever the Berengaria sailed for New York. The story of the arrests reads like a fiction talk. For years Antwerp and Amsterdam, Europe’s big diamond centers, knew that gems were being smuggled into the United

States. Uncle Sam, who lost $7,000,000 to $10,000,000 yearly in duties, knew it. too. The Jewelers' Protective associations, composed of retailers who were "undersold” by the 1 importers of duty-evading diamonds were jiarticularly anxious to identity the smugglers. Treasury agents worked years to find the smugglers. They kept a close watch at dockiL Saturday they met the Berengaria at quarantine, outside of New York and questioned Ballyn for two hours. Ballyn who often sang for the Berengaria's passengers, including the Prince of Wales, seemed astonished at the charge. But the agents found in his bunk a package of uncut stones. The liner pulled into the dock. Two detectives who had noticed his familiarity with John T. Mclntyre, traffic patrolman at the dock, arrested the policeman on suspicion. They ordered Ballyn and Mclntyre to turn a corner in West street. Th«re a short, darkish man rushed up and greeted them. When police arrested him he gave the name of Morris Landau, John street jeweler. The detectives went to his store. Theie they arrested his bewildered daughter Frances. They examined Landau's entry books, and found he i sometimes entered receipts of diamonds on dates when the Berengaria ! reached New York. The agents claim to have wrung a

confession from Ballyn that he smuggled diamonds on 12 trips. According to this confession, Landau paid Mclntyre, the patrolman, 13(h) each time for carrying the jewels from the dock to the store.
