UNCLE SAM MAY BE
 FORGED TO PAY BILL
COURT DECISION SAYS $5,ooo,ooo EXCESS DUTIES WERE COL LEcTED FROM THE AMERICAN SUGAR REFINING co.

New York March 10.-Judge Wheeler in the United States circuit court of ap- peals today handed down an opinion which, if finally sustained by the United States circuit court of appeals, will cost the United States government s5,00ooOo. This money The government will have to refund to the American Sugar Refining company for duties paid to it on raw sugars imported from Cuba in 1905 and os which the company contended reduc- ton of 20 per cent should have been all lowed under the existing treaty at that time.
 The facts show that the President was authorized by Congress to grant a reduc- ton of 20 per cent on all merchandise imported from Cuba to the United States on and after ten days subsequent to the Cuban convention or treaty. This ratifica- ton was made in March. 1904 The impor- tation on which the test suit was brought was imported between July IA and Sep tember g. 1903 The collector at that time assessed the sugar. demanding the full duties, there existing at that time no law under which q reduction could have been granted. Subsequently, the convention was ratified and the American Sugar company appealed to the general board of ap praisers. which sustained the collector. An appeal to the United States court fol- lowed.
 In the opinion Judge Wheeler decides that as the ratification went into effect while the case was before the board of appraisers the importers are entitled to the D per cent deduction.

MRS. CHADWICK
 HAS LITTLE HOPE
HER CASE WILL GO TO THE JURY THIS SAFTERNOON-iS UPSET BY THE PROSECUTIONS AReu- MENTS.

Cleveland. O., March 10-Saturday will sec the close Of the present trial of Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick and the case will probably be given to the jury next Sat uIday afternoon. Just before adjourning court for the dav, Judge Tayler announce ed that it was his intention to keep at the present case until 1t is finished.
 Tho day was given over to arguments half of the total number having been disposed of These, however, were but the light artillery, and. theoretically, siege guns will open in the morning. As sistant Attorney Thomas H. Garry spoke +, the morning, and Judge Wing for Mrs. Chadwick, took up all of the afternoon with the exception of one half hour just before the adjournment of court. This time was taken by J. P. Dawley, senior counsel for the defense, who is to de- liver the main argument for Mrs. Chad wick After him, will come District At torney Sullivan who will close for the government.
 It was trying day for Mrs. Chadwick and her pale face and nervous manner showed that the strain of the trial is telling on her. The attack made by Mr. Garry on Ter ilIaHcidi Hlethops ui9tuip- e1 her greatly. When he showed tho jury by her own case with having no money in bank, she had loans amounting to s1S7,OO0 and si0f0o0 on one day, when the total amount the bank could legally lend to one person was only s60000. he prisoner sank back in her chair with a discouraged look.
 She was greatly discouraged at the time of the midday adjournment, and said: "I have about given up all hope. I have not any chance fin this court"
 During the afternoon when her own attorneys were making arguments, she frightened up very much. Her troubles will not be over. however. even If ac- quilted in the present case. District Att tcrney Sullivan this afternoon said he would probably bring about q second trial on another indictment immediately following her acquittal in the present case.

 PROPRIETOR CLAIM THE GEM. INTERESTING LEGAL QUESTION

Hamburg, March 1O.-Is the finder of a pearl in an oyster served in a restaurant entitled to it. or does it belong to the proprietor of tte restaurant? The bench of the superior court here has taken the question into consideration.
 The facts as told in court are that T woman beginning her dinner at a restaur- ant with oysters, bit on something hard, and took pearl out of her mouth. She and her escort discussed it's value and finally before the dinner ended the latter took the pearl to q neighboring jcweler, who offered him $500 for it. The man re- fused to accept this amount, and said the pearl was the property of a woman
 The jeweler followed him to the restaur- ant and offered the woman $750. which was also declined. The conversation att tracted the propretors attention. He in- quireG into the circumstances and claimed the pearl but the woman refused to give it up. The proprietor brought suit. aver ring that the bones of fowls and shells by traditional custom are left by cus- toners of n restaurant and arc a source of profit to the proprietor
