INVESTIGATION HERE
| Washington. June 1S-At the request OF the Mer-
| chants and Manufacturers Board Of Trade. the
| Treasury Department has made an investigate
| at Ncw-York to the value OF personal effects
| which passengers bring TO this country when re-
turning from abroad. The inquiry was set on foot

scnal effects and clothing which returning pas
| sengor might bring In free Of duty. The report OF
the special agent will be presented to the Finance
| Committee The officers OF the Board say they are
| confident that the House provision will be re-
stored. The report OF the special agent shows that
| information was obtained by interviews with re-
| turning passengers. from which estimates were
| made. Twenty-Five passengers were six
different days. from six steamers. showing add
| tions to personal effects while abroad for the
| whole number OF Si.4s0 with average of $3.50 81
| 10 each passenger. The amounts for each passen-
| ger ranged from 80 10 $3.50 All this baggage the
! report says, had free entry The estimate OF the
! Surveyors Department was that the personal ef-
feCts purchased abroad would average 800 for each
| passenger. The estimate is made that 10000 pat
they bring in free is placed at $ioO0OO0 II is said
| that Paris shopkeepers encourage persons TO buy
| large amounts Of goods
| The special agent SAYS that the exemption OF
500 would require critical examination OF the

gests that the best method would be to require al
passengers returning from abrC ad TO pay duties

The directory, on account OF the demand

The buildings are to be covered with

that the women were to do a great
work without money. There is none
for them and they cannot even offer free
space to the educational exhibit. She
sho Sed in what way the school children
could put up building. In Tennessee
each child was asked 10 contribute ten
cents. Tho result was enough to put up
q handsome building, and with the sur
plus to add a chime Of silver bells, which
was placed on top OF the children
building. She thought that an effort to
collect five cents from every child Gle

amount. The directory has authorized

Five OF the men working for the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal company
went TO boarding house a half mile
from Oak Hill tpple. where a number of
strikers are quartered, for the purpose of
persuading the strikers to 30 to work.
The meeting was a stormy one, and re-
suited In Antonio Pazadowsky beng shot

shot in the eye and Batiste Dalmesce was
cut with razor. The injured men are
all strikers This was the only disturb

aggressive workmen escaped before the
men on the Oak Hin camp grounds were
aware of the fight
The report that Sandy Creek camp will
be abandoned is denied by the strikers
today and they say fifty men VIII be sent
there from Plum creek and Turtle creek.
In addition to the general missionary
work for the week the leaders have de-
cided to direct especial work to the pre-
