LONG SERVICE RECOGNIZED
President Taft's designation of De

board of general appraisers last week
is regarded as confirmation Of the
high esteem in which De Vries is held
nv the president De Vries In 1905 was
chosen as president of the board by
its own members. The Aldrich act
however. changed the manner of desig-
mating the head of the board, and the
treasury department held that this
created vacancy in the Office. Presi-
dent Taft was unable to remedy the
situation until last week, when Frank

JAILED FOR DEATH
OF AN ORIENTAL
American Must Serve Time for
What May Have Been
Accidental Killing

here yesterday on the liner Manchuria
was one who was not glad to be home.
His name was Thomas Jones. He
served six years in the United States
navy and then invested his savings in
a saloon at Chefoo.
On March % he dropped revolver
on the ground. 1t exploded and the
bullet killed a passing Chinese. Jones
was arrested, taken before United
States Judge Thayer at Shanghai and
sentenced to serve three years in San
Quentin.
1t was an accident, he insisted. and
asked for a jury trial. Jury trials,
however, are not available for Ameri-
cans in the far east. but he was allowed

appointment he adopted the plan of
increasing the efficiency OF the clerical
force by distributing a certain fund,
allotted by the treasury department.
among the clerks by making as few
appointments as possible, thus increas-
ing the pay of the clerks. Under this
plan the clerical force OF the board is
doing practically double the work 1t
was in previous years and receiving
better compensation.
De Vries adopted the plan OF definite
calendars at the various ports, so
that merchants and importers would
be advised in advance of hearings at
definite times, instead of at irregular
intervals. This decreased the travel
ing expenses OF the members of the
boards and their secretaries materially
and provided superior service for the
conduct of customs litigation outside
New York.
POWERS VESTED IN ONE MAN
The customs administrative act as
redrafted by the senate with the aid
of some members of the board of ap-
prajsers largely added to the powers
of the board. The president of the
board is also given large powers in
desi gnating the places of meeting of
the subboards for consideration. In
appointing De Vries to the presidency
of the board all these powers are
vested in his hands.
De vries has left ror California on
official business, after which he will
spend a few weeks on his ranch near
Stockton. He will return to New York
with Mrs de Vries in about a month.

to file an appeal from Judge Thayer's
sentence.
Having no money for bail and thers
being no suitable Jail at Shanghai for
his detention pending the result OF his
appeal, he was sent home in charge
of a deputy marshal and yesterday
afternoon was taken to San Quentin TO
begin serving a sentence that the
higher court may perhaps decide In
few months he did not deserve.
