RULING ON PAPER DUTY
DECISION AS TO PRODUCTS OF
QUEBEC CROWN LANDS,
That Manufactured Prior to Nav ]
Must Pay Twenty-Five
Cents Per Cord.

Pulp and printing paper manufactured
from wood cut on crown lands in the
province Of Quebec prior to May 1 last
is subject to the countervailing duty Of
% cents per cord. or its equivalent Of 35
cents a ton in the manufactured state as
print paper, as provided by the new tariff
law, according to decision OF the Treas
ury Department today.
Like products manufactured from wood
cut on crown lands in Quebec after May
are not subject to the countervailing
duty.
The tariff law provides that il any
country imposes an export duty OF any
kind whatever on wood in the manu-
facture Of wood pulp. such export duty
shall be added by the United States on
impCfta tions.
Quebec recently issued regulations re-
curing that wood cut after May 1 shall
be manufactured in that province. This,
in effect, was regarded as prohibition
of expectation of wood cut after that
date.

Filed Written Opinion.

Judge Mcpherson filed a written opin-
ion in the matter. He overruled the con-
tention that the evidence taken before
the commissioner did not show that the
defendants committed crime in the
District of Columbia and held that the
government at the hearing had made
out prima facie case. ---'ss
The court holds that it is lawful to try
the defendants in Washington, although
the alleged unlawful agreement may not
have been entertained in the other.

senate leaders today gave President
lalt 10 understand that it will be i'm
possible to put through that body the
STOCK and bond control provision con-
tanned In the House railroad bill. The in
formation is from such an authoritative
source that there can be no doubt of the
futility Of the White House or any other
agency attempting to bring this about.
President Taft has favored the House
provision because it was in harmony with
the pledges of the republican national
convention. and because he has believed
public sentiment demanded such a law.
1t Is doubtful IL he will insist further
after receiving the tip that the Senate
