Wrapped in Laces: Dressmakers Foiled in Duty Evasion Plot
In Havre a scheme by dressmakers to pass undeclared wares through customs was foiled as thirty trunks from the French liner La Savile were seized. Inspectors uncovered lace and dressmaker materials worth tens of thousands of dollars. A plump woman identified as Madame Taghes confessed to carrying undeclared goods. New rules to prevent sleepers were enforced, with inspectors now accompanying examined baggage to the gate. The ship La Savile arrived late due to weather, docking after repairs, with passengers including Dutch cellist Willem Wittke and another named Kentgen.
