LIVERPOOL BANK SwINDLE
Goudie, the Bookkeeper Captured.
How the Steal Was Worked

London, December 2.-Thomas Pater-
o Goudie, the book-keeper of the
Bank of Liverpool, VINO disappeared at
the time of the discovery that the bank
had been robbed of about clio, 900, was
captured today at Bootle, where he had
been in hiding. Goudie had $500 in his
pocket when arrested. He will be
brought to London for trial with the
other men taken into custody in con-
nectiOn with the robbery.
Charles Mathews, counsel for the
victimiZed bank, in presenting the case
against the prisoners, gave the first
authentic details of the frauds. He ex-
planned hat there had been q
checks forged. The first two affected
Goudie. The next twelve, representing
in value e25, 800. would be mainly trac-
ed to Kelly. Other seven checks, ag-
gregating $4,000. would be first trac-
ed to Kelly and afterward to Kelly and
another person not yet before the court.
Six other checks, valued at G91, 900,
would be traced, first to Laurie Marks,
who paid them into his bank accounts,
but some Of the proceeds were also
traceable to Burge. The whole amount
had been drawn out of the bank of Liv-
erpool by checks drawn to the account
of r. w. Hudson.

Bears thu The Kind You Have Always Bought
TARIFF
OF Federal Supreme Court as to Porto
and the Philippines

Washington, December 2.-OpinionS
were rendered in the United States su-
preme court today in the last two of
the insular test cases. One Of them
was hat known as the fourteen cla-
mond rings case involving the rela-
tionship of the United States to the
Philippine islands from a tariff point
of view. and the other what is known
as the Dooley case No. 2. involving the
coustitutionality of the collection of
duty on goods shipped from New York
to Porto Rico.
In the former case. the court, through
Chief Justice Fuller held that the dia-
mond rings brought in from the Philip
pines and over which the case arose
should have been exempt from duty
under the Paris treaty Of peace, as that
territory. The decision in the Philip
pine case followed closely that OF the
first Porto Rican case Of the last term.
In b Dooley case decided today it
was held that the duty collected on
goods carried from New York to Porto
Rico was permissible. but that it was IN
reality a tax for the benefit Of the Por-
to Ricans themselves rather than an
export duty, which was claimed by the
merchants who antagonized the gov
eminent in the case.
In both cases there were dissenting
opinions concurred in by Jour of the
nine justices of the court
1t is generally believed that the fin
ding in the Philippine case will lead to
early efforts to secure legislation for the
regulation of our commercial relations
with those stands A. the PerOto Ri
can opinion sustains the constitutional
ity of the Foraker act, no UGH necessi-
ty will arise with reference to Porto
Rico.
