WASHINGTON. July 7.-Some rather fne dis
tinctions are often drawn in the matter OF
customs decisions by tho Treasury Depart
mont. but Assistant Secretary Crounse broke
the record by one which ho made yesterday.
A citizen OF Detroit went over to Canada and
bought n pair Of trousers. which he wore
homo. Tho customs officers taxed him $500
duty on them. He applied to the Treasury
Department for u rebate. and in his letter
said: 80 fancied those Iunts. and bought
them"
When he used the word "fancied" he gavo
that the Mckinley law admits free of duty ar
ticlss OF clothing which are a necessity" but
the trousers because he "iancied" them. it
stands to reason TINT they wore not an article
OF necessity. Therefore. he must pay duty.
