IF A HEN Is not a bird, why Is a
/ pair of rubber boots an article Of
'woolen wearing apparel? Funny ques-
ttion, is it not? There are many 9TH
ers, but this n is enough to show
! how Uncle Sam is puzzled at times to
properly classify imported articles so
that the correct rate Of customs du-
ties may be levied and collected. In
the above case, 1t is simply because
che highest customs authority OF the
land held that as the boots had Innings
in which there was an appreciate
quantity of wool they should bear the
rate prescribed for wooden apparel.
That same highest authority decided
that frogs legs are dutiable as poul-
try.

little chance Of bringing any infected

TWO MASKED ROBBERS
HOLD UP SOCIAL BAR
Take Money From Cash Register
and Calmly Walk Out
of Place.

While Hugh Rooney, the bartender,
was drawing beer and G. w. Hanling,
the proprietor. was telling story to
six customers, two men with handkcr-
chiefs tied over their faces entered
the social bar at Fifth South and State
street at 1855 Tuesday night and COM
manded everyone TO hold up his hands
Everybody complied, when the smaller
of the two men went behind the bar,
and after opening up the cash register,
stole $30.15, and a small .22.calibre
rifle. Laughing Mt the spectacle of
the men lined up with their hands in
the air, the holdups calmly departed.
After the holdup men had gone. each
man looked at the other. and for 4
while no one moved, obeying the COM
mand of the holdups TO remain in their
reaching position for five minutes,
Finally one of the customers took down
his hands, which was the signal for the
rest to do likewise,

DECLARES THE PACKERS
NOT TO BE BLAMED

LOS ANGELES. Cal. Jan. 25.-''If all
the meat barons in the country were put
In jail. II would not remedy the high
price situation. Present conditions re-
suit from world wide economic evolu-
ton, not from any conspiracy upon the
part OF individuals to control prices"
This was the assertion made here to-
day by Charles Edward Russell. who
procured the first indictments against
the Chicago packers In 1903. as the re-
suit OF the exposure OF alleged unsanitary
conditions in the packing houses.
Mr.. Russell added that the present agi-
tation would only result In injury TO the
farmer and the small dealer. He said
that the prices of meat would be keeping
pace with those OF other necessities.
He attributed present conditions. In

retary OF the Interior Garfield appeared
before the senate committee on public
lands today and opposed the bill sub
mitted by Secretary Ballinger. authoriz-
Ing the secretary to withdraw public
lands from settlement pending recon-
mendation to congress for legislation In
reference to them.
Mr.. Garfield declared legislation OF this
character was not needed. as the presi-
dent had authority to withdraw public
lands believed to contain valuable timber
or mineral to be valuable for the devel-
opment OF power. He declared that as
this power was vested In the president
there was no good reason for extending
the right to the secretary OF the interior.
Several members of the committee said
they agreed with Mr. Garfield II 1t should
be shown the present system did not In
volve too much .'red tape" In accomplish
ing the desired Withdrawals. No conclu-
slons were reached and the bill will be
taken up again tomorrow.
