SINGERS REFUSE TO PAY
DUTY ON THEIR COSTUMES

New York. Jan 9.-On Top of Oscar
Eammersteln's financial troubles In
Philadelphia comes additional diff
culties here through a dispute between
some OF Mr. Hammerstein'S grand OPP
era singers and the United States
customs authorities. II is asserted
by customs officers that several OF
the singers have failed to pay duty on
iraported costumes and THAT drastic
action will be taken unless the money
is forthcoming The amount owed
is said 10 be In the neighborhood of
So 900. but, as the costumes are in
tho possession of the singers. they
stoutly maintain that neither Will they
pay, nor give them up This stand has
been taken in spite of urging on the
part OF Mr. Hammerstein that the duty
be paid.
Nine. Dora, one Of Mr.. Hammer
stcin'a loading contraltos, declared
she would 90 to jail rather than pay.
"i consider it an outrage" said
Nine Doria 'I have worl all my cos
tunes and after they had passed the
custom house and into my possession

spector only Yesterday that would
30 to jail rather than pay such an un-
lust tax. He gave me until today TO
pay and told me that IL l did not pay

FaribauIt Wins Test Case.

Faribault.-A decision in favor of
the city of Faribault was handed
down yesterday by Judge Buckham
in the case of the city of Faribault
against the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad, relative to the removal
of the stock yards near the Milwau-
kee station. A hard legal battle was
fought by City Attorney Mcmahon
and his victory is greatly appreciated,
especially by the residents Of West
Front street. The common council
served notice on the railroad company
last September requesting the yards
to be removed, as the board Of health
declared them a nuisance. The COM
pany refused to comply with the re-
quest and suit was started before
Judge Buckham. Being test case,
the victory Is Of great Importance to
the city.
