At a called meeting of the directors
of the Merchants Association in the
Young Building quarters this morning
it was decided to endorse the petition
to the President of the United States Of
the importers of Japanese sake for a
decision in regard to the duties placed
thereon.
1t was chiefly for this purpose that
the meeting was called.
The petition comes from Japanese
importers and it was the opinion of
Director Fred Macfarlane that before
action was taken some such petition
should come from Hackfeld & Co. or
some other house as deeply interested
in the sake importation, then the di-
rectors Of the Association could act
on both petitions. After general d,s-
cussion however, the petition to the
President, which will go through the
Japanese minister at Washington was
voted endorsed.
1t was believed that the matter would
receive prompt attent' on, other Japa-
nese matters having so recently been
under consideration.
There We're a few other matters at
tended to by the directors, since they
were gathered together. w. w. Harris

thought best that all these go into the

that the tax commissioners should be
better remunerated, otherwise the best
