FIGHT OVER HIDE DUTY .
Independent Dealers Want Tariff on
Skins of Cattle Shipped Abroad
Removed

NEW YORK, July 30.-An action
said to be intended as a blow at the
Beef Trust and the leather combina-
ton has been commenced before the
board of United States general apprais-
ers by independent dealers in hides and
leather. The action was filed by the E..
G. Moore company, Hans Rees Sons,
and E. Buschoff of Franken brothers.
These firms assert that the hides of
American cattle, slaughtered abroad
should be admitted free of duty when
returned to the United States.
Many thousands of these hides are
brought into this country from Birken-
head and Deptford, England, valued APP
prOXimately at about $40 each. Duty
has always been assessed at Is per
cent, or about $50 per hide. The
claim is made by the protesting i'm
pOrters that paragraph 1873 of the Ding
ley tariff law, which provides for the
free entry of American goods not en-
HANGED in value or improved in cOndi-
ton, covers their contention that re-
turned American hides should come i'll
free
The protests are on trial before Gen
eral Appraiser Fischer. If the action
is successful, the independents say, it
may result in cheaper leather and shoes
for the neOnIe.

AMERICAN AUTO WINS
THOMAS CAR FIRST IN NEW YORK
TO PARIS RACE.
German Protos Reaches French Capital
Ahead, but Carried Penalty of
Thirty Days.

PARIS. July 29.-The American
Thomas automobile has won the great
race from New York to Paris by the
wide margin of over twenty-seven days.
Second place goes to the German car,
Protos, which reached Paris two days
ahead of the Thomas in the race from
NladivostCk to the French capital.
The result of the trans-continental run
has been given out by representative
Of the New York Times, the newspaper
which first suggested the race and ar
ranged the details before the start was
made from the American city.
The American cars lead was obtained
in the run across America. Fifteen days
We're allowed for the trip to Alaska, the
conditions III the far northern territory
making it impossible for any of tie
cars to travel over the mountain trails,
piled high with snow. The Thomas
was the only machine shipped 10
Alaska
In Idaho, the Protos gave up the run
to San Francisco and was shipped by
rail, the judges allowing the Thomas am
other fifteen days for this. Both time al
lowances gave the American Il start of
thirty days when the second flight from
Nladivostok was begun.
The victory of the Protos in the
Aslatic-European race is not considered
great achievement as the Thomas
drivers relied upon their thirty days al
iowance and made no especial effort to
break Il record. They gave up day and
night driving before reaching St Peters
burg, the work proving eXhausting and
too strenuous.
The complete results of the race viii
soon be announced
