EDUCATION ON THE FREE LIST
Books and Scientific Apparatus are the Sub.
jects of Changes

Washington, March 24-The opposi-
ton made by the colleges of New Eng
land and by many scientific men
against TIE duties placed on books and
scientific apparatus by the Dingley bill,
induced the trainers of the measure to
amend it today and restore so many of
the articles to the free list as are i'm
ported for the use of education insti-
tutions. They drew a new paragraph
for the free list as follows:
Scientific apparatus, instruments,
books, charts and chemicals, such as
are not published or made in the Unit
ed States, when expressly imported in
good faith by and for the use of any
regularly established or incorporated
university, college, academy, school
seminary Of learning, or free public IL
brary, not intended for sale, and the
secretary of the treasury shall make
suitable regulations to carry out the in
tent Of this paragraph"
The rates originally fixed in the bill
were % per cent on books and 45 per
cent on scientific apparatus. The para
graph under which works of art are i'm
ported for free public exhibition were to
be admitted free under bond for six
months was broadened so that works of
art exhibited free OF charge for at least
one-sixth OF the time, at a fixed place,
by any association and board in good
faith ard duly authorized under the laws
of the United States or any state ex-
pressly for the promotion of any science,
art or industry, and not for sale. shall
be admitted free of duty under such reg
ulations as The secretary of the treasury
may prescribe.
A clause was inserted in the chemical
schedule putting chlorate of soda at 8
cents per pound.
The duty on pineapples. which was
cents pound originally, was changed
to cents per cubic foot on pineapples
imported in barrels and other packages
and Sc per 1000 on those imported in
bulk. The change on pineapples was
made in response to an appeal from rep
resentatives Of the Baltimore canneries,
who visited the capital this week.
