DUTIES ONCE PAID

O1 Foreiga Articles Offered for Re
Entry.

Washington, August 7.-Secretary
Shaw is making a close and critical
study of the pra ctiCes of the treasury
department along a number of lines.
and is determined to institute reforms
where justice or good business princi-
pies seem to require them. He made
an important ruling today relative to
the readrlission to this country of ar
ticles OF foreign production which ha q
once been imported and the duty paid
thereon at the time OF the original i'm
portation. After careful consideration
Secretary Shaw has decided that the
privilege of free re-entry may be prop
cr!y accorded all articles of foreign
manufacture or production under
proper safeguards for the protection of
the revenues, provided the articles so
admitted shall not have been advanced
in value or improved i'll condition While
abroad.
The articles should be registered,
with a full description. a t the custom
house, on expectation, and a certificate
issued to the owner, and on their re-
turn they must be fully identified as
the articles exported. Secretary Shaw
has issued instructions TO the collector
OF customs at New York in accordance
with this decision. Heretofore the de
partment has held that nc matter how
many times an article of foreign man
ufacture was brought into this country
It must pay duty each time.

RESULT OF STRIKE
FIVE USELESS MINES
Other Losses in Single District Of
the Anthracite Region.

Shenandoah, Pa, August 7.-William
Stein, state mine inspector for the
Shenandoah region, today announced
that five collieries under his jurisdic-
ton, which have an estimated total
value OF 81, 500 geo, have been rendered
useless by reason of being flooded and
have been permanently abandoned by
the companies owning them. Four Of
thcm-Bear Run, East Bear Ridge,
Kohinoor and Preston No. 3-belong to
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company, and he places their value
al about $3O0000 each. The other COL
lery, the Lawrence, is owned by
Scheaffer & Tate of Pottsville, and also
represents about 100000.
Mr.. Stein estimates that out of thirty
six collieries in his district only four
teen are in condition for Immediate
operation If the strike were ended. The
others are in such condition that it
would requir anywhere from one to
fcui months to cie ear them Of water and
make repairs. He said the average time
would be about two months. The
abandonment of the five collerieS will
compel 1900 miners to seek employ
ilent in other parts of the region. and
they may have trouble in finding it ii
the thousands of men who have left the
legion during the strike should return.
