Decision That May Cost Uncle Sam
Many Thousand Dollars

NEW YORK, May Am important deci-
sion was handed down to-day in the United
States Circuit Court by Judge Townsend.
which, If confirmed by the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals will cost the gov
ernment many hundred thousand dollars in
rebates paid to sugar importers. In 1898
the American Sugar Refining Company and
other concerns appealed from the action OF
the collector of the port in assessing duty
on a certain test of sugars imported. The
importers protested to the general board
of appraisers. asserting that the govern
ments polariscopic test was erroneous and
excessive, owing to an alleged incorrect
method of testing, as prescribed by the
Treasury Department. The board con-
firmed the collector and the importers
brought suit. asserting that. under the new
provisions of the act of 1897, the govern
ment methods of testing by polariscope had
resulted enormously and in the consequent
exaction of excessive duties.
Judge Townsend decided that the govern
ment method of testing introduced in 1897
was improper and should have conformed
TO the practice formerly allowed.
