SEW VKD, ALASKA. MONDAY. MARCH 20, 1916. __
One of the most pleasant experiences imaginable is to lie in ted in a
room looking out on Front street on the morning of the arrival of a boat and
listen to the expletives of the festive throng. When speaking down m the
street sometimes they seem to forget th*r voices carry more clearly through
some window above the head than to the ear of the person spoken to. One
prominent official made a remark In front of the post office this morning
which for forcefulness was all that could he desired by the most exacting
member of the male sex. The only trouble was that a lady, one at least,
also heard it. It might be better to remember this. The street is a poor
place for bad language.
More and more doe* it look a* if the European powers will soon come
to a decision to call that crazy war oil. In the Review of Reviews a man
named Simondj? writes every month about the war and he writes in a man
ner which carries the conviction that he knows what he is talking about. In
the last issue of that publication he suggests that for another seven months
or so none of the belligerent* will be exhausted but that after that time it
is possible they will decide not to go on with another winter campaign and
,,uit. This would be a terrible anti-climax to the greatest drama ever staged
but it would probably have the effect of stopping wars. It will have the
effect of making the world-audience feel sleepy and look at the whole thing
as rot.
The depth of the love of the Mexicans and Americans for each other is
shown pretty well by the endearing titles of Greaser and Gringo mutually
bestowed. One can see now even at this distance that the Carranza side is
clearly not going to accept the American invasion with entire docility al
though that government has officially given its sanction. Some day it ma>
happen that the boundary between the United States and Mexico will be an
imitation of the French-German boundary with Verduns*. Helforts and a
Metz or two.

THE MINER’S STORE
FRANK J. COTTER, Manager
Phone Adams 131 *‘Don*t Forget the Parcel Post** Seward, Alaska
the noted architect, was placed on
trial in federal court here today.
On the representation of inspectors
and Port Collector Dudley Field
Malone that Mrs. Warren, returning
from Paris and other Europen capi
tals on one of the big liners Nov. 15,
1915, swore that she had only $1,500
worth of gowns and things in her 5
trunks, when she should have said
$10,000 worth, the case was presented
to the federal grand jury.
The grand jury indicted Mrs. War
ren February 9th, after probing the
case at the instigation of the U. S.
Treasury department at Washington.
At that time Mrs. Warren, fashion
ably garbed, appeared in the gloomy
corridors of the old federal building
and was officially informed from the
bench what had happened to her.
In view of the federal court judgs’s
declaration here when Mrs. Ada F. C.
Adriance, wife of I. Reynolds Adri
ance, wealthy Poughkeepsie harvester
manufacturer, was indicted and plead
guilty to smuggling in an $8,000
diamond necklace, that the next ^f*
fender would “go to jail,” it is believ
ed probable a prison term will be im
posed if Mrs. Warren is found guilty.
The Warrens are members of ex
clusive Boston and New York society,
being included in Mrs. Ogden^Mill’s
list of “One Hundred And Fifty Ex
clusives.” Warren, a Harvard gradu
ate, is the designer of Grand Central
terminal and other notable Now \ork
structures, is a member of the
Academy of The Fine Arts, Paris, and
belongs to the exclusiveKnickerbocker,
Racquet and Tennis clubs of New
York. The Warrens have two child
ren: Miss Gabrielle and Whitney War
j ren, Jr.
Each of the four counts in the in
dictment against Mrs. Warren carries
with it a fine of $50 to $t>,000 and a
term of two years in a federal peni
tentiary. The first count charges
that Mrs. Warren swore to the in
spector that three of the gowns had
been bought in Paris previously and
duty paid on them once. This alleged
X
statement the government says Mrs.
Warren knew was untrue.
Another count charges Mrs. War
ren with making no declaration what
ever of the value of three gowns in
her five trunks full of things. The
fourth count charges that Mrs. War
ren swore the gowns and things actu
ally cost her but $1,500 in Europe,
; whereas tho ...'** —
knew they cost a great deal more than
that.
The three gowns which will form
the pivot about which the trial of the
society woman will revolve, are des
cribed by the government as “one
black and metal thread evening cos- j
tume trimmed with lace; one flame
colored evening gown, beaded; and
one flame colored evening costume.”
The gowns are said to be Callot
creations.
Mrs. Warren explained that she got
these and the other gowns at “war
bargain prices” in Paris. The gov-,
ernment says Parisian gowns have,
been going mp in price ever since the j
war began; not down.
The charge against Mrs. Warren is
unique. Ordinarily the charge j
against custom evaders is that they,
tried to “smuggle” goods into the j
United States. The charges against
Mrs. Warren is not that she tried to;
conceal anything she brought in, but
that she falsified the value of what
she declared.
