the crowd was so dense that could

There was aspathetic incident at this

dispersal of the crowd, was disturbed
by the weeping of child In evident
distress An official was sent out to
investigate, and bedraggled child in

We are fond of patting ourselves on

short of the ideal condition. We at

When it is possible for a child under
a good coach to make grade in two

three hours a day, then something is
wrong with our system. A years

EDIBLES FIGURE
in CUSTOMS COURT
CHINESE DUCKS AND cAeRAoEs
AND AFRICAN cAPERs ARE
FIRST SUBJECTS.


Washington, June 10.--what the
Payne-AIdrich tariff act did to duck
meat and just how the Dingley law
treated cabbages from China and
capers from Southern Europe and
Northern Africa. today excited the
minds of the judges of the new United
States court of customs appeals.
Assistant Attorney-General Lloyd
has taken the position, and an en-
'deavor was made today to maintain it,
that duck meat as generally imported
from China, with feathers, feet, head
and viscera left behind to tell the tale,
Is meat, prepared and preserved,
and should be taxed at 25 per cent ad
valorem. Kwong- Yuen shing, an i'm.
porter, is certain that such duck
meat is only dressed poultry"
packed in peanut oil, and should come
in free, or. maybe pay a duty of 10 or
possibly 20 per cent ad valorem.
Cabbages and capers.
AS to cabbages, the government ar
gued before the court that rolling 1t
into a ball and covering it with salt
was in the way of preparation for
eating, while Sun Kwong on, the i'm
porter, through his counsel contended
that such treatment, after the salt was
washed off, left it in it's natural state.
The salt, his counsel argued, was used
to preserve the cabbages during tran
sit. There is a difference of Is per
cent in the contention.
Capers from southern Europe and
Northern Africa have nothing to do
with tours of distinguished person
ages, but, as both sides carefully ex.
planned to the court have reference to
the flower buds from the caper bush.
Whether they are pickles or not,
furnished the bone of contention.
