passenger travel for the year 1909
shows some improvement over that for

shows that Westbound, or incoming
figures, have returned to normal ex.
cept in regard to steerage passengers.
In 1903 the eastbound. or outgoing pas
sengers, were greatly in excess of the
incoming, due to the industrial dcpres-
sion in the United States. During the
year 1909 all steamship companies op-
Grating from this port carried approxl-
mately 1,73G,0h passengers, of whom
1,247,244 We're westbound and 432 75t

The balloon, which is 20 feet in diameter

off his feet, is in New York ready for
shipment. Shirley says he will attach
himself to the balloon by harness and
belt. This will leave him free to climb
and yet give him the buoyant aid of the
gas filled bag. A special equipment will

TRUST WILL GET LITTLE
loeb and Parr Say Sugar Was Weigh
ed Correctly.

Ne" York, Dec. 29.-Colector of the
Port Loeb and Deputy Surveyor Rich
ard Parr, the man who discovered the
Grgar un1erweighing frauds, do not
think the Sugar Trust will recover
much from the government on it's pres
ent plea of overwhelming by govern
ment weigherS. Since 1907 the weights
of about 100 cargoes of sugar have been
protested, and the hearings now are
before the Board of General Apprais-
crs.
"These proceedings look like retail
iation," Collector Loeb said Tuesday.
II do not think there is much in the
comrany's assertion sugar cargoes
have been overweighed. We have a
good system at work now in that de-
Dartment. The sugar has been received
and probably sold, so it cannot be
weighed again. 1t looks to me difficult
to prove there were overweight charges
in duty payments
Deputy Surveyor Parr said that since
1907, when the underweighing frauds
We're discovered. the Sugar Trust has
been making protests against the gov
eminent weights. Those protests have
been filed almost weekly The highest
Claim for overweight is about liz per
cent. Parr added.
There is nothing in the claim"
Parr said. THE customs scales are
tested twice daily for accuracy. The
balance lever is tested hourly. I am
certain there is not, and cannot be any
tampering with the scales used now"
The Sugar Trust claims refunds of
from 100000 to 100000. Appeals to
the courts probably will be made by
whichever side loses the test cases be-
