MUCH CANADIAN FUR
SEIZED BY UNCLE SAM
Montreal Firm the Accused and Ameri-
cans Sufferers.

The Treasury Department has an
nounced a number Of seizures of furs in
various parts OF the country. These
goods were struggled from C9uada. be-
ing purchased, supposedly in good
faith. from a firm in Montreal The
practice has been for American tourists
70 buy the furs from this firm with the
understanding they would be delivered
at their homes with duty and all
charges paid. such charges being in
cluded In the purchase price exacted AT
Montreal.
This Government has no authority to
proceed against the firm, and, recogniZ-
ing the good faith Of the American
buyers. has authorized its employees to
go to Montreal when the cases are tried,
and testify in favor Of the American
purchasers.
The Treasury officials here seize the
furs in every case. Some have been
released on payment Of the Canadian
value plus the duty. while others VIII
be sold at public auction.
The purpose Of the Co eminent is TO
break I'D the practices OF the Canadian
firm A few years ago, similar seizures
were made. In gile recent investtga tons
it was found prominent society women

The association further presents the
problem of living in Washington on the
salary of a public school teacher and Of
the increased demand upon teacher
strength. time, and purse consequent TO
the latter-day methods of teaching the
classes An instructor no longer simply
stands at his desk and teaches from a
book. He must have an amount Of gen
eral knowledge required in few profess
sions. Should a teacher have anyone
dependent upon him financially it is al
most impossible to remain in Washing

life.
