HOW RICHMOND FOLK CAN

Customs Laws Give Them Right to Have Bag
gage Shipped From New York to Interior
Ports in Bond for Inspection.

With this card on the baggage the
officials at the port of entry will then
ship 1t under bond and seal to the port
of delivery. The law provides further:
These cards will be placed on the
back of the seal, and upon the arrival
of the package at the port Of destina-
ton the proper customs officials shall
detach the coupon bearing this certiti-
cate and mail the same to the chief
officer of customs at the port where
the baggage was carded and sealed.
and the manifest will be filed at the

This is not new law, but has been
in effect for more than fifteen years.
Tourists doubtless have overlooked 1T

must have their baggage inspected at

CHILD THIRTY DAYS OLD
RECEIVES 1900 DOLLARS
Is Said To Be The Youngest Litigant
In Any Court OF Record, Won
Without Contest.

Spokane, WASH, April 90
Howell L. Sisson, 80 days, old son
of Mrs. Carrie l.. Sisson of Spokane,
who was awarded a judgment for
$4,000 against the Northern Pacific
Railway company in the Spokane
county superior court, probably is
the youngest litigant that has been
successful as a principal in any
court of record in the United States.
The unusual feature of the suit, the
first of its kind in the Pacific Norrh-
west, was that the baby won with
out a contest.
H. L. Sisson, father of the infant
and husband of Mrs. Sisson, was
killed by a train at Standpoint,
Idaho, while making trip as brake
man from Paradise, Mont, to
Spokane, on August 80, 1909. The
suit was for $4,000 damages, but a
compromise was made for 81 900 and
Judge J. D. Hinkle signed a judg-
ment for that amount. which was
paid at once to Mrs. Sisson, who
has been appointed guardian. The
action was instituted a few days
after the birth of the child, which
first saw the light of day on March
II, and was advanced on the calen-
dar at the request of counsel for the
company. IT, '':SI
