HAIR" ROLLS,
LADIES, ARE WOOL.
Appraisers Say So and Fix Duty
of Al Cents a Pound.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-So-called hair
rolls composed of wool and wire were
held yesterday by the board Of gen.
eral appraisers to be dutiable as
wearing apparel in part WOOL" with
a tax of A cents a pound and so per
cent. ad valorem.
1t was the contention 0f Downing,
Judas & Co., of Chicago, the importers
of the rolls, that duty should accrue
either as human hair at So per cent.
or else as manufactures of metal on
account of the wire used in the con-
struction of the articles.
General Appraiser Chamberlain, in
his decision for the board, overruling
the protest, says that the claim under
the human hair schedule is untenable
for the reason that an analysis of the
articles show that wool is the COM
ponent material of chief value, metal
being another. The claim for entry
under the metal schedule, according to
Chamberlain, cannot hold because the
provision for wearing apparel in part
of wool is more specific than that for
articles in, chief value of metal not
specially provided for.
