COLLECTOR LOEB AFTER QUIBBLERS

Has Scheme to Punish Persons Not Declaring Effects. New York, Aug. 31.—Collector of the Port William Loeb, Jr., has determined to teach a lot of people who tell petty falsehoods to Uncle Sam that honesty is the best of policy. The customs law allows a passenger to bring in dutiable goods to the value of SIOO free, provided the articles are set forth In declarations, but many persons have been found guilty of falling to declare these little things. Hitherto they have gone unpunished, but a score or more of passengers were taken to the customs house and made to pay duty on property which, if they had not attempted to conceal it. would have been admitted free. This little punishment will ybe continued until people learn better ways.
