agreed upon already. This was denied to-
day by Senator Aldrich, chairman OF the
committee, who added that he knew Pres
ldent Taft will select the best men who
can be found to tll these places IL the
new court Is created.
The charge that the creation Of the court
would be a reflection upon the judiciary,
which has heard customs cases In the
past, was also denied today by Mr.. Aid
rich. Discussing these criticisms, Mr.. Aid
rich said that customs cases inevitably
raised questions of technical character,
and that they should be tried before men
who possess a full knowledge Of the tariff
laws and the methods resorted to for the
evasion OF these laws.
President Favors II.
President Taft is in sympathy with the
effort to establish a court competent TO
deal with all phases of customs litigation,
according to Mr.. Aldrich. The latter also
said that the chief objection to the estab-
lishment of the court comes from attorneys
who receive about $1,000. 900 a year in New
York city alone, because Of court rulings
inconsistent with the intent OF the tariff
laws. All honest importers and all other
persons who desire to, have the tariff law
inpartlally applied, said Mr.. Aldrlch, favor
thc establishment Of the court.
Complicated problems connected with as
certaining values of foreign goods imported
to the United States when there is no
market in the place OF manufacture by
which the values may be determined, were
considered at today's meeting. AS a result,
amendments will be offered to section II
Of the tariff bill relating to this subject,
