THE FAIRCHILD COMMITTEE FINDINGS
j. r. SIMON & co. EXoNERATED FROM THE

y. IT,
CHARGE OF UNDERVALUATION
Washington, Feb 20-Ass.stant Secretary Ham
lin to-day made public that part Of the Falrch!ld
Commissions report which pertains TO the charges
filed as TO alleged differentiation of japanese
silks imported by ]. r. Simon Co., in 1881. through
the New-York Custom House
The committee report that, while they do not
find from the testimony that the goods OF Simon
e. Co. were in any instance lnvoiced at less than
actual cost, or that there any intent on their
part to defraud the Government BY means Of under
valuations they do find that their Japanese silks
were in very many instances purchased, invoced
snd entered at somewhat lower prices than the
others.
They report that 1t is not true that In 1891.
sordlng 10 the records OF the Governments local
appraisers and customs departments the firm OF
J. r. Simon & Co. charged $4,000 n penalties
because of undervaluations on invoices. and tina;
the advances were made by Appraiser Cooper at TIE
instance OF Assistant Appraiser Corbett and were
sustained by the Board Of General Appraisers. The
additional duties paid by Simon & Co. during tina;
year amounted 20 As8l, and penalties imposed for
skns ao SS % Ell @ T5s 10 & aa
that they found 10 eieSce to Sustain the chase
that many honest importers Of japanese silks
were driven out Of trade by underyaluations OF
They report the statement made by Appraiser
Cooper and repeated by Corbstt and The Dry Goods
Chronicle that during Corbetts absence in Europe
in October 1880, goods belonging 10 Simon & Co.
were uniformly pdSscl Dy Examiner NlSHd.l with
out advance. and that since he (CorbetD returned
advances ranging from to per cent were again
made" shown 10 be untrue on the face OF the
records of the Custom House rs for the charge
that Examiner W!swali wilfully and falsely re-
ported the goods of Simon & Co as damaged and
inferior. and recorded false amounts and gave false
samples. they say 1t was substantiated BY
evidence They also report that the charge as to
an alleged bargain between Assistant Secretary
Spauding Chief Special Agent Ting.e and General
Appraiser Tchenor and the SILK Association Is
positively denied by al who could have knowledge
OF H. and there Is nothing TO support 1t; that what
