- New Orleans, September 20: DO
mestic cotton ginners have won an I'M
portant victory here in the board OF
United States general appraisers which
has Just decided that so-called
patches" for covering cotton are not
subject to the high rate Of duty re-
Gently exacted by the treasury depart
ment The board also denies the con-
tention of the government that the
stencilling of a single name or word
on cotton bales constitutes printing
within the meaning of the latter word
as used i'm the tariff act. The merchan-
disc involved in the test case consists
of jute bagging, thirty by fifty-four
inches in dimensions. imported for use
in patches to cover holes in cotton
bales produced by sampling the cot
ton. The collector of customs at New
Orleans returned the merchandise for
duty at the rate of As per cent as
"woven fabrics of vegetable fiber.
The importers claim was for duty at
six -tenths of per cent per square yard
as bagging. This contention the board
sustains, the New Orleans collector be-
ing reversed. The collector contended
that the merchandise was taken out
of the provisions claimed by the i'm
pOrters on the ground that the patches
were printed" although the printing
consisted of but single word on each
patch. The board holds that the stem
cilling is only for identification.
The Springfield, Mass, Republican
of Yesterday printed a letter from Mrs.
Bellamy Storer, written in France,
dated September 6, reviewing the ques-
ton between the Storers and Mr..
Roosevelt concerning the former pres

a personal favor to the president of the
United States to make Archbishop

written by the archbishop in 1903 and
1904 hitherto unpublished, are quoted
by Mrs. Storer to show that at repeat
ed interviews in the White House be-
tween the archbishop and the presi-
dent, Mr.. Roosevelt acknowledged that
he had commissioned Mr.. Storer to act
as his personal envoy at the vatican in
behalf of the archbishop. Mr.. ROose-
welt has hitherto publicly denied that
Mr.. Storer was ever authorized to rep
resent him in this manner, and the
Ireland letters now published by Mrs.
Storer have the effect of making much
sharper the issues of veracity between
the Storers and the eX-president. Mrs.
Storer's letter to the Republican also,
seeks to prove on the testimony of
Archbishop Ireland that President
Roosevelt promised to make Mr.. Stor-
er United States ambassador either at
Paris or London; and there is included
still another letter alleged to have been
written by Mr.. Roosevelt to Mr.. Storer,
just after the presidential election in
1896, in which Mr.. Roosevelt asked Mr..
Storer to see President elect Mckln-
ley and urge him to appoint Mr.. RooSe-
welt assistant secretary of the navy.
