A somewhat immoderate demand was recently made upon Tiffany and Co., by which they are asked to pay into the State Treasury nearly 200,000 dols. as taxes upon dividends paid to their shareholders during the last twelve years.

Fifty Years With Tiffany & Co.

William H. Jenks, recently marked the fiftieth anniversary of his connection with the silverware department of Tiffany & Co. The board of trustees of the firm availed of the interesting event to make him the recipient of a beautiful silver vase of artistic design, specially made at the works of Tiffany & Co. His immediate associates in the store manifested their esteem by presenting him with a handsome drawing-room clock bearing a suitable inscription. Both of these unique tokens of regard were accompanied by letters of felicitation. Mr. Jenks first became connected with Tiffany & Co. immediately after the removal of the firm from 271 Broadway to 550 Broadway, near Prince Street, which latter location was then considered very far up town. By an interesting coincidence he completed half a century with the firm just as it 1s about to remove from its present location in Union Square to palatial premises at Fifth Avenue and Thirty-seventh Street. Notwithstanding long period of activity, Mr. Jenks is still in the enjoyment of unusually vigorous health.

In looking over the plunder found in the trunks in the rooms of James H. McGill, who was arrested on suspicion of receiving stolen property last week, a reporter for a local paper found a watch with the initials J. B., which in every way tallied with the watch carried by James Bullen, an employe of Tiffany & Co., when the latter disappeared from his home 305 W. 42d St.. Manhattan, April 11 last. The police were informed and have been endeavoring to get information from the man who sold a quantity of jewelry to McGill, and who is now in jail, that would lead to a clue of the disappearance of Bullen.

Charged with having committed jewel robberies at Tiffany’s London house and at another London jewelry store, and carrying away gems worth $25,000, A. Preston Green and Charles P. Rohrer were arrested on the Hamburg liner Amerika, and arranged in the Toombs Court. Forty-one pieces of costly jewelry as well as 140 loose diamonds were found on the men when they were arrested and turned over to the police. Among the loot are a crescent of twenty-one diamonds, a brooch set with forty diamonds, fourteen diamond and ruby scarfpins, seven other diamond brooches, one diamond five-loop bar, seven rings set with diamonds, sapphires and emeralds, and one square emerald of four karats, set with twelve diamonds. Magistrate Barlow held the men in $10,000 bail each on the charge of bringing stolen property into the State.

Tiffany & Co. have received a letter from P. Bruckmann & Sohne, silversmiths and jewelers, Heilbronn, Wurtemberg, to the effect that one of their European representatives, who has sailed for New York, is suspected of having taken with him considerable of the firm’s silverware, which has been stolen. Tiffany & Co. have been asked by the German firm to assist in recovering the goods, and no doubt suitable compensation will be given to any jeweler who can furnish information that would cause the arrest of the thief.

Tiffany & Co, Win Law Suit

Tiffany & Co. have been rewarded for the tenacity with which they followed up their law suit, by finally obtaining a satisfactory decision from the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. The point at issue was an Interesting one. Since the passing of the tariff act of July, 1897, the Tiffany firm has imported a quantity of what are known as drilled pearls. The law provided fora duty at the rate of to per cent. ad valorem on pearls ‘in their natural state,’ not strung or set in the form of jewelry. The phrase ‘in natural state' was interpreted by the customs’ officials as not referring to drilled pearls, and they charged the latter as manufactures not otherwise provided for, at 20 per cent. ad valorem. The nature of the Tiffany claim was that the pearls were practically in their natural state and were accordingly subject to duty at to per cent., as provided by the act of 1897. The decision of the customs authorities was sustained by the board of general appraisers and subsequently by the United States Circuit Court, A second case was then presented by the jewelry firm, and on December 16th their appeal was sustained on all grounds. The final decision will no doubt be approved by the trade.

Dr. George F. Kunz, of Tiffany & Co., was last week elected vice-president of the American Historic Preservation Society, the organization which was so active in saving the Palisades, and in other work along similar lines. The annual reports on the precious stones of California and North Carolina have been prepared for those States by Dr. Kunz. He says that the development of the mineral resources of the two States, as indicated by statistics, is in some respects quite surprising.
