had no jurisdiction, the case not
having been properly certified; the
motion was overruled. Another
motion was made for a continuance
on the ground that material wit

into Porto Rico from the United States
went over until the October term When
the court hands down its decision in those
two cases, a motion for a rehearing can
then be fled; if the motion IS granted It
will reopen the entire question
The points involved in the Philippine
case said the attorney, are almost
identical with the issue raised in the first

levy a tariff on articles coming from
Porto Rico into the United States be
