TAX DODGERS
See a Way to Escape the Dingley
Rates

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ga decision
of the board, Of general appraisers was
received by Collector jackson today
which, it is believed, opens the way for
some importers to get their goods out
Of the bonded warehouse by paying the
rate of duties under the Wilson tariff
instead of the high duties of the Dingley
tariff They will have to remain In
bond for three years, however, before
1t can be done.
The principal effect of the decision is
that goods that remain in bond. over three
years are to be deemed abandoned 10 the
government and, the abandonment dates
back to the time the goods were first
entered. The government then sells
them, and after retaining t;le amount of
duty assessed al the time of abandon
ment, which is the time of entry, pays
the balance over to the importer. In the
case decided the old duty was the higher.
In the case of import sold. now the old
duty would be the lower. But the prin-
ciple is the same, and unless congress
acts to protect the revenues of the gov
ernment, the importer will get the ad
vantage in the rate.

A Woman to Hang.

The United States Supreme
Court affirmed the decision of
the Georgia Supreme court in
the case of Mrs. Mobiles, convic>
ted of the murder of her hus-
band. She claimed due process
of law had been denied her.
The result of the decision is
that the sentence imposed by
the court can now be executed.
Justice White handed down
the opinion. He reviewed
briefly the points in the case,
showing that Mrs. Mobiles coun-
sci had moved for a trial to
prove her insanity after she had
been found guilty of the murder
of her husband. This motion
was denied by the trial court
and the decision affirmed by the
State Supreme Court. Mrs.
Mobiles then appealed to the
Federal Supreme Court, on the
ground that the fourteenth
amendment guaranteeing all
citizens due process of law had
been violated. The contention
was overruled by Justice Whites
opinion, who said that the ques-
tons involved were wholly
within the jurisdiction of the
State courts. eff the position
of the Plaintiff in error were
sound" said Justice White, "no
criminal could ever be punish ed
as his immunity would depend
upon his fecundity in raising
pleas of insanity"
