EVASION OF CUSTOMS DUTY.
01
"LED INTO IT BY KEENER MIND THAN OWN."
At the Mansion House, London, the other day Jennette Stitzen of Commercial Street, Leeds, was fined with costs £170, 10s, on two summonses charging her with being knowingly concerned in the fraudulent evasion of the duties of Customs.
She pleaded guilty. There were eight summonses in all, but it was agreed that two should be gone into and the others withdrawn."
Mr. Gibson, prosecuting, said the duty on the importation of these goods from Faris was 33/1-3. The evasions had been effected by means of double invoices in each case, the lower price invoice being produced to the Customs for the purpose of daty being assessed:
Defendant was fully aware of what she was doing. The lower priced invoices
found amongst her accounts, but in every instance the higher price (the real value) was entered into the books. All the importations were of silk freeks and scarves,
were
Mr. Walter Frampton, for the defence, said Mrs. Stitzen had an invalid husband and two children. She manufactured for wholesale houses in Yorkshire and used these imported Paris frocks for models. She had been led into it by keener minds than her own.
Alderman Sir Charles Johnston aald he hoped paople engaged in business such as this would under- stand evasions of Customs duty would not go anpunished.

MOISEIVITSCH
TWO RECITALS BY NOTED RUSSIAN PIANIST.
After a number of successful rocitals in Australia, the Rasslan pianist Moiseivitsch returned to the United States and he is now on a tour of the Far East. He will give two concerts at the Theatre Royal August 6 and 8,
It is generally conceded that
has been there
no nowcomer among pianista in the last ten or fifteen years who so completely measures up to the finest musical ideals as does Molasivitach.. Tech- nically he dazzles: musically he charms with the very esse and clarity of his interpretations. He adds a new touch to everything seeing oven the coldest and ster- nest of classics in a fresh Night and from unexpected and always delightful angles.
"As he himself says, no two in terpretations ena or should be. alike. Performances must reflect the artist's mood and his ideas, and these from a natural human necessity are constantly varying, Just as na individual ever feels exactly the same on different days, so ought his playing never to be exactly the same on different oc:
casions.
