HOME INDUSTRY VICTORY.
IN IMPORTING FIGURED COTTON
CLOTH MERCHANTS MUST PAY
SPECIFIC DUTY IN ADDITION
TO ADvALoREM DUTY.
Publishers Press1

Washington, Nov. I'm deciding
the case of the United States versus
George Riggs & Co of Now York the
supreme court of the United States
held that figured cotton cloth import
ed from foreign countries must pay a
specific duty under thc Dingley tariff
law in addition to the al yalorem du-
ty required to be paid under separate
paragraphs. This is a test case and
the decision was awaited with much
interest by importers and manufactur-
ers all over the country. The import
ers contended strenuously against the
double duty as an imposition not in
tended by congress, while the manu-
facturers held out as tenaciously for
the added duty as in the interest of
home production. There are said to
be over 5000 protests from importers
on file with the general appraisers in
New York against the extra charge,
while on the other hand it was claim
ed that an annual home production of
s50,000000 in figured cloth would be
affected injuriously by a decision
favorable to shippers from abroad.

CHARLES NEWMAN DEAD.
Durango Pioneer and Former State
Senator Passes Away.

Denver. - Durango dispatch
Wednesday night says: Former State
Senator Charles Newman died at his
home here shortly after 10 O'Clock to-
night of pneumonia, having been ill
only few days.
Mr.. Newman was at Red Mountain
several days ago and while there con-
tracted a severe cold. The disease
which resulted in his death developed
later. He was about fifty years of age
and leaves widow and two daugh
terS.
Several years ago Mr.. Newman
served in the State Senate from the
counties of La Plata and Montezuma,
but retired after serving TWO or three
terms. He was actively engaged in
mining operations all over this section
and was well and favorably known all
over the state. Funeral arrangements
have not been completed.
The Newman block, one of the finest
business blocks in this city, was built
by him and remains a monument to
his memory.
One of his daughters Is Mrs. Lloyd
Sheets, whose husband is cashier OF
the Smelter City State Bank of Ou-
range, and the other daughter Miss
Lena Newman, is librarian of the pub
lie library of this city.

person particularly resembling him.
Some people in Grovedale discredited
Osborn's statement, while others
averred that he must have been mis-
taken, though. without doubt, they
said, he thought he was correct in
ntking it. On the other hand, many
believed that harm had come to the
cashier after he left the building,
while the bank officials thought the
matter quite serious enough to call a
meeting and look over the books, de-
posits and collaterals of the bank.
People who had money in the savings
institution got wind of the matter, and
the passbooks began to come in so
rapidly the directors publicly an
rounced that all should be attended
to in due season, but that no irregu-
larities had thus far been discovered,
nor did they expect to find any. Mr..
Hamilton was expected in three days
now. when, no doubt, matters would
settle in their old place. The bank
examiner, meanwhile, would in any
case soon be there. For the rest, Mr..
Hamilton's bondsmen. Carter, Hender-
son and Deane, were responsible men.
And thus the matter rested, if it
could be said to rest when half a doZ-
en- bank officials, aided by young Os-
born, were industriously turning over
all the bank books, looking up col
laterals and deposits, which at one
point showed a difference of several
thousand dollars. But there were one
or two erasures in the balance sheets.
difficult to understand, and yet which
might be made to come right in the
hands of the bank examiner. 1t was
too soon to say there was anything
wrong.
No reply came to the letter Mrs.
Hamilton ha'. written. and the air by
Tuesday night. which was just two
weeks from the time Mr.. Hamilton
left Grovedale. was rife with hun
,.red rumors. At the station when
the train whistled in, the platform was
crowded with eXpectant people. Mrs.
Hamilton with her children and Mr..
Carter we're all there, waiting, and
trying TO look n1acid and cheerful,
