FEDERAL COURTS
TO Be RELIEVED
Purpose Of the Administrative
Feature of the Senate
Tariff Bill.
IS REMEDY FOR APPEALS
IN PAST BIG IMPORTERS HAVE
TAKEN THEIR PROTESTS FROM
CUSTOMS APPRAISERS TO THE
COURTS.

Washington, D. c., May 1.-The real
purpose of the custom court provided
for in the administrative feature Of
the tariff bill reported by Senator AL
drich. is to relieve federal courts in
whose districts ctstoms b6uses are To-
Gated, from thef numey6us cases that
grow out Of tho appe6ls taken by the
importers of the country against the
appraisers. These cases have congest-
ed the dockets. 1t is the opinion Of
members Of the Ways and Means COM
mittee Of the house that the customs
court will prove boon to importers.
A long list OF lucrative federal ap-
pointments are provided. There are
to be Ave judges with salaries Of $1O.-
600 a year, a clerk with headquarters
in New York, at $1,000 and many 9TH
er minor clerkships and appointments
to aid the court. In addition to these
there Is to be another assistant attor-
ney general at $4,000 to conduct the
customs business before the court, 4
deputy at $500. an attorney at $1,000
and three others at 5000 each. a
corps Of assistants and clerks will be
necessary under each OF these attor-
neys. Nine judicial courts are provid-
ed for the court 1t will decide all cas-
es for the board of general appraisers
and its decision will be flnal. excepting
constitutional questions. The appoint
ing power of all these fat jobs is in the
hands OF the President.

MAY QUEENS DETHRONEO
REPORTS FROM ALL PARTS OF
STATE INDICATE WEATHER
CONDITIONS OF UNUSUAL CHAR.
AcTER ON SATURDAY.

The weather man yesterday seemed
to have his dates mixed. Instead Of
''ushering In" May day with spring
warmth and sunshine, he gave the peo-
pie Of Indiana q taste Of Norchlike
weather There was rain sleet. snow
and hail, and q little cold sunshine oc-
casionally to lure the unwary out Of
their homes. Klufries of snow and .
damp, raw temperature sent people to
their firesides and caused baseball
fans" to have attacks of shivers.
Kokomo. Terre Haute, Petersburg,
Columbus. Evansville, Vincennes, Ft.
Wayne, WOrthington and scores Of 9TH
er towns reported snow storms rang
ing in severity from mere flurries to
semi-blixzrds. A strong wind drove the
snow into the faces of the pedestrians.
At Kokomo snow fell for two hours and
the flakes were SO thick that tramc- IN
the streets was impeded. The snow.
however, soon melted. Conditions
there were even worse than locally.
No Queen II the May Song.
The snow was not much as to guam
tity, but was real snow and was recog-
nized as such by the most reputable
and leading citizens. There may have
been Queens of the May in climates
more congenial to light attire and
crowns of flowers. but In this city the
gentle warble of her song was not
heard. at least in any open air PEI
formance. Poets have sung OF May
Queens and OF the beautiful snow, and
have escaped unscathed. but any poet
who has tried to combine the two yes
terday in serious verse would probably
have met with treatment In keeping
with the seriousness Of the o6ense. for
many expressions Of deep disapprovai
Of the combination were heard.
