HAWATT4N CUSTOMS DECISION.
BOARD OF CLASSIFICATION HOLDS THAT IT
NOW HAS NO JURISDICTION IN
SCRAP IRON CASE

The Board Of Classification OF the United States
General Appraisers YESTERDAY announced decision
regarding the status of Hawaii under the tarn
laws The Judson Manufacturing Company i'm
ported hundred tons of s,rap iron from Hawaii.
and the Collector at San Francisco assessed the
regular duty on H. The company filed a protest
contendinE that Hawfh Il part Of the United
States. and that consequently duties could be
levied goods imported from there since the pas
sage of the Act Provide Government for the
Territory Of Hawaii" The cargo entered at
the Custom House on April 50. 1850, the day the act
went into effect.
The Board OF classification holds that under the
doctrine laid down by the Supreme Court In the
insular tariff the protest should he dismissed
for want of jurisdiction. Judge Somervle. in
writing the opinion says that the Customs Admin
istrative act gives IL jurisdiction only in cases
where the amount OF duty chargea BILE
upon imported merchandise is to be determined.
II would not have jurisdiction in the of goods
brought in from hawaii since the passage of the
act providing a government the Territory.
The protest should therefore. simply be dismissed.
