SAYS TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

Washington. Nov. 5.-Rolls are
just dolls and not toys at all, accord

partment today, aud thereby import
ers are saved the difference between
35 per cent and 60 per cent ad ve-
loren.
II has been a weighty subject with
the customs officers at New York
and the. board of general appraisers.
The trouble all arose from a too
sparing use of periods In framing
the paragraphs in the new tariff law
governing dolls and toys. The same
ruling holds as to don heads, for
they also are held to be taxable at
only SO per cent. Collector Loeb
found an invoice OF decorated china
dolls the other day. ana he sought
light. Are dolls composed of
china, porcelain, parian, bisque,
earthenware. stoneware and crockery
ware dutiable under the paragraph
43l, at 80 per cent, or paragraph SO,
at 60 per cent" he queried Thirty
five per cent" declares the treas
ury.
Rubber dolls, too. come under the
same duty under a paragraph OF the
Dingley law. The department has
advised Collector Loeb that dolls and
toys are differentiated for classifi-
cation purposes and that dolls and
doll heads. "of whatever material
composed" are subject to the lower
rate, though toys come higher"

several IN preparation, under municipal
