WHITNEY KEATS APPRAISERS.
They Made the Duty Too High on Ceilings
We Imported From Italy.


Judge Coke, III the United States Circuit
Court handed down a decision yesterday
with reference TO the ceilings in William
c. whitney's house, s7i Fifth avenue.
Through Stanford White, the architect.
Mr.. Whitney imported the ceilings from
Italy In 1899 They were taken from the
Barberini palace, Florence, and are ex-
quisitely painted in oils. on wood, and date
back to the fourteenth century. The artists
who painted them are unknown but the
work is said to be worthy Of the masters.
There we're three Of these ceilings In the
Berberini palace and the Museum Of Art
OF Berlin was very anxious 70 secure one
Of them, but Mr.. Whitney bought all three
at a price that was higher than any museum
could afford. When they were brought over
here, however, q question arose about the
duty that should be charged. The cetlings
were valued, for invoice purposes, at 5000
true value az works OF ar, since there is
no possibility Of duplicating them.
When the Board Of Appraisers was called
upon TO assess the duties, the question arose:
whether the ceilings were to be classed as
manufactures OF wood or as paintings ny
foreign artists. The duty on the former
is IS per cent, on the latter only 70 per
cent. Without much hesitation. the board
classified the ceilings in the first category !
TO be- ranked with Vienna chairs, umbrella
hand'Ns and other such wooden manu-
factured articles. protest was filed.
and the case was appealed to the Circuit
Court.
Judge Coke, In his decision, points out
that the value OF the wood In the ceilings
is infinitesinal, as compared with their value
as paintings. He rcverses the decision OF
tho Board Of Appraisers. and orders a re-
fund OF is per cent Of the duty paid under
protest by TIE importers. The ceilings,
which were shipped in panels. and filled
forty huge packing cases, are now In Nj
Whitney's home.

effect that the charges OF fraud and pls-
giarism made by David Belasco in the

az a part Of the answer.
The original action was brought by
Riohepin a month ago, and last week Mr.

was obtained from him by reason of false
and fraudulent representations: that the
play WIS not new and original, as required
by the contract, and that upon reading
the manuscript no discovered that the
play was .taken, plagiarized, plrated and
copied by the plaintiff from public sources
and publications common and open 20
the public, and that the said play was
wholly unsatisfactory 20 him, OF which
fact he notified the plaintiff, and that said
manuscript play was thereafter returned
to and accepted by the plaintiff.
Fowe A Hummel. counsel for Rchepin
filed a motion in the Supreme Court 10
strike out from Mr.. Belasco's answer every
allegation that there were false and frau
dulent representations. as irrelevant and
redundant. The motion was brought on
and argued before Judge freedman on

FIVE years abroad
Judge Coke says that the Secretary
OF the Treasury has no power 10 fix such

that though the word temporary seems
