NO DUTY ON COFFEE.
Free Trade With Porto Rico Includes
EVERYTHING

-FN%
Washington, Aug. 17.-Felix A. Reeve,
acting solicitor of the treasury, has
rendered an opinion on the question
raised by FREDERICK De Getau, resident
commissioner of Porto Rico, as to
whether a customs duty of cents a
pound should not be imposed on all
coffees imported into Porto Rico from
the United States under the terms of
the Foraker act. The solicitor holds
adversely to Mr.. De Getau'S contention,
and in the course Of his opinion says:
ut is evident from the care with
which coffee was excluded in the For
aker act from the free list in respect
to impOrtations from the United States
during the existence of the Is per cent
duty system, that it was the intention
of congress to recognize and protect
the coffee industry in Porto Rico. It
can hardly be doubted, also, that it
was not the purpose of congress that
such protection should cease upon the
enactment and installation of q local
system of taxation in Porto Rico.
"The duty of cents per pound on
coffee was. I think. distinctly a pro-
teetive measure. But 1 regret 20 say
that I see no escape from the cOnclu-
sion that the broad and unrestricted
provision of section 3. abolishing all
tariff duties on merchandise and arti-
cies going into Porto Rico from the
United States upon the enactment Of
local system of taxation. etc, en-
braces the duty on coffee as well as the
duty on any other article of merchan-
disc. The case seems to me to be one
of mere inadvertenCe on the part Of
congress. They merely neglected to
make the exception of coffee from the
free list applicable as well as the adop-
ton of the new system Of taxation as
during the existence Of the Is per cen
tum duty system"

RESOLUTIONS ZOE ILL
Trustees Vote Confidence in Former
Methodist Pastor.

Methodist Pastor.
A secret session of the trustees of
the Methodist Episcopal church was
held last evening at which a
statement was made by the
Rev J.. Wesley Hill, for
mer pastor of the First NJ. z. church of
Ogden concerning his financial trans
actions in the building of that church.
The meeting and statement were called
out by the fact that nearly two years
ago the name OF J. Wesley Hill was
chiseled from the corner stone of the
church where it had been engraved.
After a full statement had been made
the following resolutions were adopted
by vote of II to 3:
Whereas, The name of J. Wesley
Hill was ciandesunely removed from
the corner stone of the First Methodist
Episcopal church of Ogden, and certain
accusations have been made concern
ing him and his relation to the church
when pastor thereof;
Nov, therefore, upon investigation
having been made:
BE it resolved, by the official board
Of the First Methodist Episcopal
church Of ogden, Utah, that we note
with great pleasure and satisfaction
the careful and accurate manner in
which Dr. Hill has kept the records Of
his relations to this church covering
time of its inception to the time of his
removal to another field;
THAT we approve and reaffirm the
findings of the special auditing COM
mittee appointed prior to his re-
mOvaL to audit his accounts, showing
that said accounts We're carefully and
honestly kept and that he paid into
the church building fund, over and
above the amounts received by him,
and exclusive of his personal subscrip-
tiOn the sum of S44S0.70' and we ex-
press our gratitude for the most gener-
Gus contributions acknowledged in the
report Of said auditing committee, and
also for his liberal and unseIfish con-
tributiOns to our church since he sew
cred his pastoral relations with us the
same amounting to more than 81 200, as
shown by evidence produced before US
at this meeting. making the entire
amount contributed by him to our
church exclusive of his personal sub
scriptions as in said report of the
auditing committee referred TO. a total
OF over IS, 500.
And be il further resolved that we
disclaim any responsibility for the re-
mOVal o. his name from the corner
stone of the church; that we discoun-
tenanCe the act of its removal as an
act of ingratitude, and do hereby re-
quest the board of trustees to have
1e--N A-e-A-AS AOs'esACA ~ tAAS NOA uEI otUitC
where it most justly belongs;
And finally we tender DR.. Hill an in
vitatiOn to occupy the pulpit of our
church Sunday morning and evening.
Aug. %, 1901, upon his return from
the Yellowstone National park
That copy Of the foregoing resoIu-
tons be by the secretary of this board
forwarded to DR.. J. Wesley Hill"
After the passage of the resolutions
DR.. Hill requested that his name
should not be placed upon the corner
stone, saying that it was not his work
and against his wish in the first in
stance that it was placed there and
that he had no desire to have 1t re-
placed.
