hard luck for the Octopus. Charges
have been fled at the treasury depart

The Standard is accused OF evad:ns

from the United States to the Philip.
pines during 1901. when high tariff
was in force against oil from this
country to the Islands.
1t appears that in June. 1901, w. B.
Walker. the Manila agent OF the Stand.
ard. entered into contract with the
1uartermaster's department of the
army for the delivery OF $4,000 gal.
Ions of Comet oil to the quartermas.

in five.gallon cans, two cans TO the
case. So $4,000 cases were necessary
10 Ill the order. Deliveries commenc.
ell NJ out July !. 1901. The full amount
was cleared through the Manila Gus.
tom house prior to November 10, 1901.
Tariff Reduction.
On this date a tariff reduction on oil
was made from s1.01 per case to 4OIs
cents. OF the amount imported be.
tween July and November 10000 cases
were Withdrawn for delivery to the
depot qaartermaster. and on them no
duty vas paid. 1t has been discover.
ed recently that the books OF the
depot quarter master show that during
this period only 1868 cases were de.
livered to the army. The remaining
1881 cases We're sold to the trade
Later when the tariff had been reduc.
ed, duty was paid on 1891 cases ut
the reduced rate of i01s cents per case
and these delivered to the army. By
the manipulation 1t is charged tina;
the Standard was ahead In the game
just 6ols cents per case.
Collector of Customs Henry h. Nc.
Coy discovered the discrepancy .and
has mule demand for the agents of the
Standard in the Philippines for the
payment Of the full tariff on the cases,
that 1t s1.01 per case. Should the
Standard be compelled to pay this
amount, 1t would lose the 4o1s cents
