DUTY REBATE
BOARD OF GENERAL APPRAISERS
DECIDES IN FAVOR OF JAPAN
ESE IMPORTER.

A very important decision has just
been rendered by the Board of General
Appraisers, overruling the local GUS
toms officials The case means a loss
of about $4,000 in duty to the United
States government. News of the deci-
sion of the Board was received today
by Custom Broker H. j. johnson in a
special cablegram. The case is that of
Mizuame, local importer.
About two years ago, the japanese
imported some japanese jelly in tins.
The Customs officials classified the stuff
as confectionery and levied duty at
the rate of cents pound and 10 per
cent. 1t was contended by the i'm
porter that the stuff should not be list
ed as confectionery, but was an ar
ticle for which no provision had been
made in the tariff schedule and as such
should be assessed 20 per cent duty.
This contention of the importer was
denied however and the compound rate
of duty has since been enforced. An
appeal was taken. The appeal has
been sustained and the local customs
people overruled.

DETAILS OF THE FIGHT AT THE YALU

Japanese Consul General Saito this

report by cable of the fighting along the
Yalu:

General Kuroki, commanding the
First Army of Japan, reports that on

Edward Mitchell Jones was i'm court
again this morning, to appear for trial
for the killing of his wife in August
last year. A term of over eight months
in Jail has done the defendant a lot of
good physically. He appears to have
gained flesh and his face is fuller and
more healthy looking. He showed the
same nervousness, however, as before,
and though he listened with apparent
interest to the proceedings, did not
speak to or recognize anyone.
The prosecution this time was an
Xous for an immediate trial. Last
time it was the defense that urged it,,
but this morning A. G. NJ. Robertson
asked that the matter go over for the
term, if not to the January. 1905 term.
Robertson said that he had to go away
at the end of this month and that
other cases Of Importance would take
up his time until his departure He al
so argued that it would probably be a
waste Of time to try and get jury
from the present list of available
jurors. I'VE wasted two weeks in the
other court and l don't see that it is
any use wasting the time of court and
jurors and attorneys here" said Rob
ertson. THE suggestion of your honor
in chambers that If the case is to GO
over it go over to next year, when we
shall have new jury list is the most
sensibl in my opinion"

sible that a jury might be obtained
from this Years list. He also thought
that Judge De Bolt might decide in
favor of open venires. which Judge
Robinson decided We're not allowable.
The court ntimated that the defense
had not made any legal showing for
a pOstponement, and referred to Rob-
ertson's departure as not such reason.

legal reason for postponement."
Robertson said that the state of his
health was a legal reason and was one
reason for taking the trip. He had
been under the weather for several
months and had had no vacation. The
court remarked that it did not think
the Chicago convention would be a
good place to reCuperate health, but
Robertson said that his physicians had
advised him to 20.
Judge De Bolt finally set the matter
for Wednesday, for disposal of the
motion to continue. 1T seems to me

is not to be tried this term, it had
better go over to the January, 1905

In the Tong Kai decision the Supreme
Court determined several important
points which have been brought up in
several other cases. The matter Of the
power of a Deputy Attorney General to
prosecute was raised by Mathewman in
the Tong Kai case and Chinese bandit
cases and by Ashford in the Man Chong
case. 1t is one of the points on appeal
in several trials. The validity of grand
jury indictments, attacked in the
vouchers cases, is strongly sustained in
the latest opinion of the court.
AS to legal authority of the Deputy
Attorney General to represent the Ter
ritory in a prosecution, the decision
says:
''The evidence shows that Mr.. Peters
was at the time Deputy Attorney Cen
eral of the Territory. 1t is cOntended
that no such Office exists under our law
or that if 1t does. such deputy does not
possess the same powers as are veste i
iH the Attorney General by law and
that, therefore, Mr.. Peters could not, in
any official manner be concerned in
criminal prosecutions. Whether or not

pointed with all the powers of the At
tOrney General need not be determined.

The decision of the Court regarding
indictments, greatly tending to discour-
age attacks on grand jury procedure, is
stated as follows,
IN the absence of any showing to the
contrary the presumption is that the
grand jurors who found an indictment
were good and lawful men and that not
less than twelve concurred jim the find
ing.
"A person accused of an offense has
no right to appear before or to have
witnesses heard in his behalf by the
grand jury"
On other disputed points the Court
says:
"A conviction based upon the uncor-
roborated testimony of an accomplice
is legal.
"A person who has sworn falsely in a
case but has not been convicted of per-
jury, is not thereby rendered incompe-
tent as a witness in a subsequent case"
