An Invoice Forged.

Customs at San Francisco has advised the
Secretary of the Treasury that Consular
| invoice covering 5000 pineapples imported
| by Goldberg, Bowen & Co., had been al
| tered or forged SO as to reduce the value
from to cents each. Acting Secretary
Tichenor has advised the Collector to con-
suit the District Attorney, and if deemed
| advisable, to prosecute the parties who per-
petra'ed the forgery.
| SAN FRANCISCO, June ID. = Collector
Phelps was spoken to concerning the above
| dispatch. and stated that he knew nothing
about the matter and had no facts to give
out in relation to the dispatch.
| United States District Attorney Carey is
out of town. and at the rooms of the Ap-
praisers it was stated that no sucs invoice
| was known, and that there must be some
| mistake in regard to the dispatch, for the
duty on plneapples, preserved in their own
juice, IS 35 cents.
The Cases were Not Similar.
| WASHINGTON, June 2d.-The report that
was extensively circulated that a lawyer
| had unearthed a decision made by the
| United States Supreme Court a few years
ago in way in which the Court took ex-
actly an opposite ground to that held in
| the original package decision turns out to
be incorrect. There is very obvious dis
| tlnction between these two cases.
| The case decided several years ago arose
out of cargo of coal brought into Louisi-
ana, but before it was taxed q part of it
had been sold, SO it wss no longer an
| original package. Moreover, it is errone-
| GUS to state that the Court appears to have
overlooked its decision in this case. The
| Louisiana case was brought to the atten-
| ton OF the Court in the argument of coun-
| sci, and was considered in the opinion of
Chief Justice Fuller, who showed wherein
| they differed.

charges have been made against the Gov
| ernment Pleuro-Pneumonia Inspectors in

fected, condemn them, slaughter them and
sell their carcasses at a reduced rate to
| butchers in league with them. The in
spectors also have cattle for sale with
| which they supply the places of the
|
| one or two infected cattle in lot, and
| when the time comes slaughteripg the
herd and selling the former another lot.
| Congressman McAdoo will ask for thor.
| ough investigation of the charges.
