STANDARD OIL co. HIT
MUST PAY AID vALoREM ON OIL
IN IMPORTED TIN.
Philippine Tariff Duty-Hitch Comes
In the Drawback Provision of
the New Law.

Washington.-The Standard Oil Com
pany will have to pay a duty OF 10 per
cent. ad yalorem ON oil il has imported
into the Philippine Islands since the
new tariff bill became effective, although
oil under that measure is admitted into
the United States and the Philippines
free vi duty.
This imposition Of the duty results
from the fact that the oil question, al
though of the growth and product of
the United States" IL was put in cans
made from imported tin on which the
Standard had accepted a drawback IN
view Of the fact that the tins were for
the export trade.
Under decision by Col. George Z.
Cotton, collector of customs for the Phil
ippines, the contents of such containers
are subject TO the same duty as was
applied 10 the contained when originally
imported.
Had the Standard not asked for anu
received the drawback OF tin used in
making its cans, its oil, together with
the container, would have been admitted
into the Philippines free OF duty.
The decision will apply to large guam
titles of canned meats, vegetables and
fruits shipped to the islands, as well
as other products.

BACK TO MATTEAWAN
JUDGE MILLS STILL HOLDS
THAw INSANE.
Declares He Is Still Laboring Under
Delusions - Thaw Will Garry
Case to Court of Appeals.

latest attempt to gain his liberty met
with complete defeat Thursday, when
Supreme Court Justice Isaac y. Mills
dismissed the writ of habeas corpus and
declared that the release Of the Peti-
tioner would he dangerous to the public
peace and safety"
The signing of an order sending Thaw
back TO Matteawan is all that remains
10 complete the failure of this latest APP
peal to the courts.
There is no crumb Of comfort for Thaw
in the 7,OOO-word opinion handed down
by Justice Mills. All the contentious OF
his old adversary, District Attorney
Jerome, are supported, and it is declared
that Thaw is still insane, still suffering
from persistent decisions, and still as
much a paranoiae as on the day he shot
stanford White.
Thaw, waiting at the White Plains Jail
at the rear of the court house where the
decision was filed, received the news with
an outward calmness, which appeared,
however, more forced than real. The
members Of his family and his attorney
seemed stunned by the thoroughness OF
their defeat. Thaw declined 20 give out
any extended statement, contenting him
self with the assertion that he was not
! disheartened. and would at once con-
tinue his fight for liberty.
my next efforts" he said, will be
centered upon the court of appeals,
through which expect TO secure hear
ing before a jury in my effort to have
my commitment to Matteawan set
aside"
