been been a THE BROOKLYN CITIZEN, TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 1914. HOLD OFFICERS FOR SMUGGLING Sugar Ship Was Laden With Cigars. HINTS ARE MADE OF A BIG CONSPIRACY Secret Service Men Also Seize HighGrade Cigarettes--Steamer Santa Olara May Not Be Able to Sail on Time, Edward R. Norwood, acting deputy surveyor, and Secret Service agents visited the steamship Santa Clara at Pier No. 7 in the North River yesterday and discovered so many cigars and cigarettes aboard that they marveled that there was any room on her for her legitimate cargo of sugar.

They said the cigars and cigarettes were not on the whip's manifest. They arrested Captain Joseph H. Trachey, the skipper, on the charge of having smuggled 1,086 cigars and 21 packages cigarettes, Nahoums Nafel, keepof a cafe undo 8 Rector street, Manhattan, for receiving a month ago one whole box and one-balf box of cigars without duty. The Government officers already had arrested Jose it fireman of the Santa Clara, for smuggling seventy-seven packages of eigarettes and one box of cigars. They are nolding the first mate, 1'.

L. Webster; the second mate, John Murphy: the third mate, I'. Glasers, and chief steward, John Chipoulos, as material witnesses, District Attorney Marshall said last night he did not think there was much chance for the vessel to sail, and that Captain Trachey might be released in comparatively light bail. Vasquez is now in the Tombs in de. fault of a surety for $500, the four cers are held in $1,000 bail each, and Naufel has put up $1,500 in bail.

Trachey was arraigned last night before Judge Mayer and was released in the custody of his counsel, on the understanding that to-day he should put up a $5,000 bond. The Santa Clara has been plying in the sugar trade between this port and Havana. When she arrived here she has been accustomed to gO from one sugar refinery to another in the East and North Rivers to discharge consignments, of and has been tied up to pier to receive cargo of merchandise for the return Cuba. About a week ago N. C.

Brooks, Acting Treasury Agent, obtained information as to the alleged smuggling propensities of her crew. and was instructed by Frank I. ney. He ft a was said that for the last two years the crew had been taking advantage of their regular visits to Cuba. First the captain began to bring few firstclass cigars: then his subordinates followed his example, even the firemen were doing little mild speculation in cheap cigarettes.

It does not seem possible to the Federal authorities that NO large a number of high-grade cigars an they allege that they found in the Santa Clara, could have been sold to any one retailer. The Government is confident that it will unearth conspiracy by which the contraband to tobacco was distributed over a wide erea. The cigars and cigarettes were carried off the vessel in bundles of clothing or laundry. and so on and the length of time the ship was in port and the mumber of piers at which she stopped, made it comparatively easy to get the goods past the customs watchers.

The lads were playing on the broken ice when they fell in. Powars could not swim, and Call swam to his aid. but he struggled so desperately that both went down.

M'ANENY URGES PEOPLE TO HELP Should Assist the City in Cleaning Up Snow. OFFICIALS CONFER ON METHODS OF REMOVAL Firemen and Police Are Ordered to Aid in Work-Acting-Mayor Issues Instructions to Householders and Tenants, George MeAneny, president of the Board of Aldermen, and in absence of Mayor Mitchel, who is in the Adirondacks, Acting Mayor, issued a call to the people of New York yesterday to do their part in aiding the city nuthorities to solve the great snow problem. Fire Commissioner Adamson in a report to the Mayor recited the difficulties confronting the Fire Department, while Police Commissioner McKay issued, in the form of a general order to the police force, instructions to carry out to the letter the requests of the Acting Mayor. Mr. MeAneny's call no tie google "Property -owners are by law to keep both sidewalks and gutters clear of the snow or ice.

The city 11- thorities ask, however, that they will not only comply with this ordinance, but that they will aid the departmental forces in every other possible way. The city is not dealing with an ordinary situation. The conditions following yesterday's storm are the worst that the city has faced in many years, and there should be general and prompt co-operation in dealing with them. To this end. the Acting Mayor and the Street Cleaning Commissioner suggest: "First, that relieve the pressure on the roadway, snow on sidewalks be piled for the present on the outer edges of the sidewalks themselves and not thrown into the -sufficient space to be left between the property line and the snow pile for ordinary pedestrian traffic, and fire hydrants to be left clear.

The snow so piled will be removed as rapidly as carting proceeds. "Second. that on streets where there are no car tracks, a wheelway of about ten feet width be cleared from the curb toward the middle of the street, this snow to be piled in the center of the roadway. the roadway instead of at the piling of snow in the center, of been tried on a number of uptown streets since the snowfall Feb. 13, with very satisfactory results.

Co-operation among the residents of entire blocks will aid greatly in making the piling toward the center effective. The Police Department has been instructed to aid in getting these suggestions direetly to property TONS OF SUGAR NOW EX-BOND Tariff Down, the Refiners Withdraw It. 40,000,000 POUNDS ARE WITHDRAWN FOR MELTING Prices Are Now Readjusted to 4 Cents for Fine GranulatedPlants Have Been Running on Part Time. With the 25 per cent. reduction in the tariff going into effect yesterday, lost no time in withdrawing the raw material from bonded warehouses.

During the course of the day Frank T. Leahy, acting Deputy Collector, in charge of the warehouse division at the Custom House, issued twenty-two permits, releasing 906 1 bags of Cuban sugars, containing pounds. This is approximately one-third of all the sugars in bond in the New York customs The duties paid yesterday on the sugar withdrawn amounted to $430,956. All the refiners have readjusted their prices to a four-cent basis for fine granulated. Not since the time sugar was on the free list has refined sold as low as four cents, and according to the views expressed in the trade it is not likely that prices will go much lower, the reduction in the tariff having been largely discounted.

A broadened distribution is expected, the production in the past few weeks having been far below the normal. With sugar at four cents, consumers are making large purchases. Concerns operating chain stores in Philadelphia and other cities are said to be selling sugar at retail at four cents. Officials of the American, the Federal and other sugar refining companies stated yesterday that from now on the production of their plants would be increased. The meltings during the past few weeks have been comparatively small, about 60 per cent.

of the normal. The operation of refineries has been confined largely to Porto Rican, Hawaiian and Louisiana beets, very little of the Cuban cane sugar being used. Now that the tariff reduction has gone into effect, the Cubans will be withdrawn from bonded warehouses and the refineries will increase the output in order to catch up with the demand. The during the past two months amounted to 279,000 tons, compared with 325,000 tons for the same period last year. STRUCK ON HEAD WITH A CLUB Lad Now Has of Brain.

DOCTORS ALSO FEAR FRACTURE OF SKULL Peter Weiss, Moving Picture Theatre Usher, Arrested on Charge of Assaulting Frank Lynch, After Slight Disturbance at Show. Peter J. Weiss, 20 years old, of No. 1.230 WHloughby avenue, employed 018 an usher in a moving picture theatre nt No. 268 Knickerbocker avenue, WIN locked up in the Hamburg avenue police station last night, charged with felonious assault, on the complaint of Frunk Lyuch, 14 years old, of No.

1,267 Willoughby avenue. From a statement made to the police, it appears that Lynch was at the picture house and made some slight disturbance. Weiss remonstrated with him and after the performance the two met outside. The argument was renewed, and it is verted that Weiss struck the Ind on the head with club. He attempted to run away, but several citizens held him until the arrival of Policeman Connolly.

The policeman called Dr. Denman, of the German Hospital, who found Lynch suffering from concussion of the brain. and a possible fracture of the skull. He was removed to the hospital in a seri0116 condition. Weiss will be arrangned in the Gates Avenue Court to-day." Wall Street News Market Tone Better.

Although there was a partial restoration of telegraphic communication in the Wall street district and restoration of passenger transportation, there was little improvement in business. Trading all through the first hour was extremely sinall in volume with generally ranging fractionally under yesterday's finals. Most of the interest was to Union Pacific, which declined to Canadian Pacitic yielded one point to 209 and Reading, Steel common and Amalgamated Copper sustained fractional losses. American Express sold nt 100, 43 Saturday, and Wells Fargo two points to 88. A better tone developed in the leading issues after the first hour.

Fractional upturns were noted in the more important railroad and industrials and some stocks reflected buying for special reasons. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was more active than it has been for some time, to above 93, and Reading more than recovered its early loss. A good dea! of interest was attached to the London trading because of the declines in many issues in the foreign market reported in the enrly cables, but arbitrage 'brokers had little to do, selling hardly 2,000 shares in all. which were about evenly divided between Union' Pacific, Steel common and Amalgamated Copper. Texas Company was the most active of the specialties, moving up to 149.

New Haven, after a fractional loss, rose one point, and similar advances after early declines were reported in many issues. LONDON MARKET. LONDON, March of business to-day was responsible for heaviness of tone in the London securities markets. Domestic issues were depressed as result of the cautious return of activity on part of the bears in connection with the unsettlement of the latest Ulster troubles. This explains the conservatism shown on the the public.

Consols ruled fat and Americans lacked steadiness, moving narrow range. Canadian Pacific and Mexican Railway issues acted poorly, and foreigners were tame. Weakness appeared in Mines and Rubbers. De Beers shaded 3-16 to 18 9-16, and Rio Tintos lost to COTTON MARKET. The New York cotton market opened at two points to three points up but after the call the pressure on near months from large spot interests caused a weakening tendency and prices eased off to a net loss of four points.

There was also some Liverpool selling in evidence. Cables said that Russia reported a large business pending but this seemed to have had little efect on the Liverpool prices. STOCK MARKET.

What are the worst faults that tango enthusiasts usually commit? Well, first and foremost. I think that they do not show a sufficiently discerning judgment in selecting a teacher. The name of tango teachers to-day is legion, but many of them unfortunately only tench their own versions, with the result that the pupils find that, although he or she can tango quite excellently in the particular style in which their teacher has taught them, when they enter a ballroom they discover that their partners "tango" in :11 entirely different manner. The reason for this lies in the fact that, to a certain extent, the tango is a law unto itself, and therefore when learning the dance it is advisable to select a teacher who follows out some popular and fixed method of initiating pupils into this most fascinating dance At all times I would ask tango dancers to see to it that they are quite sure of their balance, that they are keeping their knees supple, and -this is most important--that they are not holding each other too tightly. Again, at all times the arms should be held loose, and the tango danced slowly and to the time of the music.

Not for a single instant do I agree with those who say that the tango should be danced against the time of the music, although I know not a few capable exponents who hold this belief. Personally, I repeat that experience has taught me that it is quite an erroneous one-Strand. Yesferday -To-dayClosing. Opening. 9P.M.
