FAMOUS CASE ENDED
Decision In the Celebrated Hat
Trimmings Suit.
IT IS IN FAVOR OF THE GOVERNMENT.
History of the Litigation Which Has Oc-
cupied the Courts For Long
Time - Millions of Dollars
Were Involved.

Philadelphia, April 21.-The famous
hat trimmings case, which indirectly
involves between $4,000, 900 and $685.
100000 and which has been postponed
from time to time for the past three
years, has finally been decided in IA
vor of the government by a jury in
the United States circuit court.
The suit was brought as test case
by Meyer & Dickinson, big importers
Of this city, who sought to recover from
the United States government differ
ence of 30 per cent in customs duties
The firms contention was that the i'm
portations in question consisted solely
of hat trimmings, on which the duty
under the Mckinley tariff act was only
20 per cent, but the federal officials in
their argument maintained that the
merchandise was used chiefly for dresses
and dress trimmings and that the duty
of 80 per cent levied by the government
was proper. Meyer & Dickinson were
nominally the plaintiffs, but there were
hundreds of big importing firms
throughout the country who were in
terested in the outcome of the suit and
who were instrumental in procuring
the best obtainable counsel.
Jury Out but Two Hours.
The trial of the present case began
on April 5. ex-United States District
Attorney Ingham being assisted by
Dwight M. Lowrey of this city and
Assistant Attorney General E. B. Whit
ney of Washington in the defense. The
jury, after two hours deliberation, rem
dered verdict for the government.
Judge Dallas in his charge to the
jury said that If the articles with which
this controversy is concerned were used
for making or ornamenting hats, bon
nets and hoods, then the verdict should
be for the plaintiffs; but if the jury
find that none of these articles was
trimmings, the verdict should be for the
defendant.
Ex-United States District Attorney
Ingham stated after the decision had
been rendered that more than 1000 i'm
porting firms were indirectly interested
in the suit and that between $20, ,OOO, 900
and $25 100000 was involved
This. he said, was irrespective Of the.
immense amount of money which would
necessarily have been required to de-
fend the suits.

CAN JUDGE WHITAKER GET IT;
lie District Attorneyship Still Worry
ing the Politicians.

If Republican politicians here know
what frey are talking about there is
some chance of Judge Whitaker's carry
ing of the District Att0neyship prize
after all. Here is what they are saying:
The Southern hallway doesn't want
Cook; Pritchard doesn't want him,
though he promised to give him the
Place during the Legislature. This
promise he will keep in the letter, but
break in the spirit. He viii recommend,
in a half-hearted sort of way, the APP
pointment of Cook; but at the same time
he will tell the President of the opposi-
ton to the appointment. This will
down Cook and put him so far out of the
race that he can't even hear the barking
of the others that are on the trail.
This done, what next? The place
must be filled. Now, who shall fill it..
The President, L am told, has seen
Claude Bernard, and that settled his
chances. But even had it not after
fhe rejection of Cook, Pritchard would
hardly dare to recommend another Re
publican over him. For certainly as
kepublicanism goes, there is no man
in the State that can tote the brush
over Charlie Cook.
And again, the campaign is approach
ing on horseback. The prospects for
fusion are not so bright as they were.
Populists have an idea that they have
not been fairly dealth with; that they
have been nudged away from the politi-
cal lunch counter whenever the pie
pan was brought in. These men must
be placated-.how to do it, that's the
question.
Whitakers friends claim that while
! he is not in the best of standing in the
! Populist party, that he can soon brace
up and remedy that defect, and that
his organizing ability and influence is
worth the office he is asking for.
| Many of \, hitaker's strongest friends
/ in this fight are Republicans, and they
I claim that his chances just now are
very bright.
