MUST Be MANIFESTED
GOODS FROM TUTUILA TO COME
IN FREE.
Tapa and .Curios Must be Regularly
Entered in order to Escape Seizure
by Customs Officials.

Although Attorney General Knox
has decided that Tutuila is to be re-
garded as domestic territory and goods
can be imported free of duty from that
place, people who hope to import guam
titles of curios, tapa cloth and NaIl-
Gus trinkets from Page Page will be
apt to run afoul of the Customs in
spectors and lose all of the goods UNI
less the regulations are complied with.
Tapa cloth and goods from Tutuila
will not be allowed TO be taken indls-
criminately off the vessels any more
now under the new ruling than they
were formerly. In order to bring any
goods from Tutuila into Honolulu or
any American port, importers will have
to prove that the stuff was the product
and manufacture of Tutuila. In order
to do this the stuff will have to be ma
infested ana imported in the regular
way. q
The necessity for such regulation is
more imperative say the custom au-
thorities. in the present instance than
in any recent case for the reason that
the other islands of the Samoan group
are still foreign territory yet their pro-
ducts are precisely the same as those
of Tutuia. 1t would be an easy mat
ter, it is said, for person to secure
quantities of tapa cloth and other curl
os from the island of UpOlu which is
to Tutuila and then send up here on
the mail steamers and get them taken
ashore claiming that the stuff had
come from Tutuila.
1t Is expected there will be attempts
made to land stuff of this character
and under just such circumstances The
stuff is liable to seizure whether II be
from Tutuila or not unless it has been
properly manifested. There is one
other condition which may cOmplicate
matters however and this is the ques-
ton of post" manifest Captains OF
vessels can correct and make additions
to the vessels manifest after she has
left a port or can make a supplement
tary manifest. These changes can be
made up to As hours after the arrival
of the vessel i'm an American port
There is a possibility that returning
passengers may endeayOr to have their
Samoan curios put on this post ma
nifest by the masters of the vessels and
have them entered free whether the
goods be from Tutuila or some other
island. 1t is very likely that numerous
seizures viii be made for a while until
the situation shall be understood by
importers.

even at the expense Of his wheel.
Early this morning, when the War
ren was getting under way at O'Clock,
among the spectators was young man
who had ridden down on a bicycle TO
say his adieuX to his soldier Friends.
In attempting to lean against the fence
Of the Naval wharf, he misjudged his
distance and fell, wheel and all, into
the water between the transport and
the dock.
Instant and Involuntary laughter on
the part of the bystanders was check
ed when they perceived that the man
could swim no more readily than his
wheel which had promptly gone 10 the
bottom. Ropes We're thrown and
friendly hands extended finally landing
him dripping but safe ON the dock.
He walked home to change his
clothes however and the bicycle will
perhaps be the subject of an under the
waves rattle although, being cross
frame wheel. it Will puzzle the ingenu-
ity of the Cutest mermaid that ever
wore a finny appendage to master 1t.
The crabs will probably appreciate the
rubber of the tires as a change of diet
albeit the one making the first pune
ture is liable to be disconnected by the
escaping air.
