are entitled 10 enter their sugar free OF

protsst since the passage by Congress Of
the Act 10 regulate imports under the re-
ciprocity treaty with the Sandwich Islands.
The Rehning Company Of 1t. Louis. which

The language seems to bar the claim msio
for Cuba sugar, but the action OF the
Treasury Department Is settled by the
reading Of Section 5 OF the circular to Col
lectors Of Customs regarding the admis-
sion OF goods duty free, which says /: "Col-
