in town and the police believe they
have been disposing of stolen goods
for the boys now under arrest and
others.
After his arrest, Smith told the po-
lice all about his part in the affair
Anderson and Williams did not say
anything, but the Heslett boy, said by
the police to be one of the worst boys
in town, was busy with denials. At
points where he thought they would
be of benefit, sobs were used to pune
tuate his conversation. But his eyes
refused to fill with tears and he did
not have a great deal of luck playing
for sympathy at the police station.
From the information secured this
morning. it seems that Heslett has
learned that it is best not to do the
stealing himself. He is claimed to
have persuaded some of the other boys
to do the stealing while he remained
outside to give warning. A time or
two, according to Smith, the boy who
confessed this morning. Heslett ran
away without notifying his companion.
The boys were turned over to the
Juvenile court and an effort will be
made to send them to the Boys Indus
trial school. The case was taken up
by Judge Schoch today.

The beer said to have been taken
from the Stansfield store is not the only

that brings happy thoughts, and this

Many Hunting Licenses.

Tkc warm weather of the last sew
eraI days has not only brought the
ducks back to Kansas, but has slim
ulated the demand for hunting Ii
censes. Previous to the opening of the
duck shooting season no hunting IL
censes had been sold since the snow
disappeared. The increase in the sale
of hunting licenses in Shawnee county
this year is remarkable in that in
many places the sale shows a falling
off instead of an increase. 1t is be-
lieved there are very few Shawnee
county hunters who have not taken
out licenses. A total of 1,75O licenses
have been sold this year.

HlLO, April 5.-Considerable inter

and there are several schemes in the

weed.
The experiments which have been
conducted by Gamalielson, Dranga and
others on lands at kaumana appear to
be a great success. The first seed,
Sumatra and Cuba. which was secured
from the department of agriculture at
Washington, was planted last year and
was allowed to grow TO seed These
plants were pulled during the early part
of the present year and the seed viii
be used for further experlmnts.
Tie leaves from this tobacco were
recently compared with Sumatra leaf
grown under artificial shade IN Alabama
and Florida, and in spite of the fact
that the local tobacco hau not been

U. S. WANTS FULL DUTY
ON GUGGENHEIM PEARL S
Tiffany and Government at War
Over 60 Per Cent Tariff

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Petition
was filed in the United States su-
preme court today by the government
in the case of the United States VS..
Tiffany & Co. of New York for a writ
Of certiOrari to the federal court OF
appeals for the second circuit to review
the decree of the latter adjudging GER
tain pearls dutiable at 10 per cent ad
valorem as pearls in their natural
state, and not dutiable at 60 per cent
ad valorem as articles of jewelry or
parts thereof.
The pearls involved were bought Of
Tiffany & Co. in Paris by M. Gug-
genheim TO be made into a necklace
in this country.
The collector in New York testified
the pearls were jewelry and assessed
them at 60 per cent ad valorem, and
the government insists that this as
sessment is correct.
The circuit court of New York, the
board of general appraisers and the
circuit court Of appeals have held that
they should be assessed at 10 per cent,
as most resembling pearls in their nat
ural state, not strung or set. This de-
cision the government seeks to have
reversed.

ISSUE ENGLISH EDITION
OF NEW FRENCH TARIFF
Book Supplies Practical Informa-
ton Concerning Customs
FormaIitieS

WASHINGTON, Oct. ia complete
edition in English of the new French
tariff has been prepared by the bureau
Of manufactures. Besides presenting
the tariff rates, American money and
weights as well as the French units,
the book furnishes much practical in
formation concerning customs formali-
ties.
The new French tariff law readjusts
the duties on about as many commodi-
ties as did the Payne-Aldrich bill in the
United States.
Between 1892 and 1910 the French
passed thirty-eight different tariff laws,
though none prior to 1910 attempted q
complete revision.
The law determining the customs
treatment of imports from the United
States which will operate from the
main tariff law, was passed on the
same day as the latter measure, and
on the majority of articles the general
rates, usually about half as high again
as the minimum, are applied upon the
Porto Rican and United States i'm
ports. The minimum was granted to
American imports in twenty-five para
graphs of the French tariff under for
mer treaties confined entirely to farm
products, meat, lard and mineral oils
The new law added sixty-eight para
graphs on which the minimum was
conceded. In these articles exports
from the United States are admitted at
rates as low as from any foreign coun-
try, but no assurance has been given
that the actual rates will remain un-
changed.
By an unique arrangement France
also provided that the former general
rates on certain articles shall continue
in effect as regards imports from this
country. The result is that on such
articles the United States enjoys a kind
of intermediate rate, which remains
stationary

hundred miles between Los Angeles
and Denver via San Francisco, and it
is believed that as soon as the narrow
gauge can be widened to standard
gauge it will become the principal
Southern Pacific freight shipping route
to and from Southern California.
The road which the line opened yes
terday was surveyed long before any
of the present lines, with the exception
of the valley line, We're built into

railroad men. 1t, has the easiest
grades over the Sierra Nevada noun

that it will probably be made the
