decision in the case known as the
Fourteen Diamond Rings case. 1t
involved the constitutionality of the
imposition of customs duties upon
merchandise brought into the United

down by Chief Justice Fuller is ad-
verse to the claims of the govern
ment. on the ground that the Philip
pines were at the time the rings were
brought in, American territory.
Ceasing To be foreign territory they
became domestic territory.
The chief Justice concluded the de-
cision by reversing the decision of
the court below. Justice Brown
read an opinion concurring i'm the re-
suit but differing from the cOnclu-
sions drawn ON the minor points.
Justices Gray, Shires, White and Nc
Kenna dissented.
The decision in the DeIima Porto

was held that the resolution adopted
by congress concerning the Philip
pines was not sufficient to change the
situation.

stitutionaIity of the law of April Il
providing for the collection of duty
on articles shipped from the United

cision was rendered by Justice

held that Porto Rico is not a foreign
territory and goods shipped to the
island are not exports.
