Customs Court Decides Duty
Must Be Paid on Animals Re-
turning from Canada.
NO END OF DISPUTES COMING
Strict Interpretation of Payne
Aldrich Law Will Effect
Commerce and Bother
Many People.

Washington, June 1.-The customs court
has given decision which promises to
bring customs collectors into even more
unpopularity, to entanglc the government
IN no end of disputes and perhaps ser
iously effect commerce all along the
Canadian border.
Three words in one section Of the PAYNE
Aldrich law hare been construed to mean
that any American born animal once
taken out of this country, must pay duty
to return. i Is held that the law APP
plies to all animals from pet poodlcs to
draft horses. heretofore customs coll
lcctors have Seen allowed to exercise some
discretion In enforcing this provision
Hereafter they will have no alternative
Niagara Falls n hackman will no
longer be allowed to drive his fare across
the gorge to the Canadian side unless
lie is prepared to pay full duty on his
horse when he comes back There is no
provision by which he might put UP n
bond guaranteeing his return. Many
Americans. who have summer homes in
Canada and usually take their horses
and dogs with them. must pay duty when
they return.
At some places along the border GUS
toms officials say, the enforcement of the
law will amount to n restriction of COM
merce between cities Much teaming Is
done between Detroit and Windsor over
the ferries. At other border cities the
situation is paralleled. Under the court $
ruling, an American merchant in Detroit
who drives to Windsor must pay duty on
his team before he can return to Detroit.

LODGE WILL VOTE
FOR RECIPROCITY
Will Support Root Amendment to
Put Agreement in Its Orig
inal Form.

Boston, June 4-In a telegram sent to-
night to Henry NJ. Whitney, Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge explains in detail
his position in regard to the amendments
to the Canadian reciprocity lii. The
statement comes In answer to an inquiry
made Of Senator Lodge by Mr., Whitney.
It follows:
"Your telegram received. My views
are the same as explained to you and
others last winter. I shall vote for the
reciprocity agreement. | shall vote
against all hostile amendments. or
against any amendment which would en-
danger the acceptance Of the agreement
BY Canada.
Il shall vote for tho Root amendment
because il makes the bill conform to the
agreement submitted by the PRESIDENT to
Congress and the bill now pending in
the Canadian Parliament. AS the Pres-
dent said in his speech in Chicago. the
House lii IS not In exact conformity
with the agreement. The House amend
cd tho agreement Of emitting one clause
The Root amendment in effect restores
this clause
''The amendment l have planned to
offer in regard to the fisheries is not
intended to change the terms Of tie
agreement. 1t is new section en-
larEing the mutual abortion of duties
to the mutual abolition of bounty, fees
and privileges.
AS the agreement now stands our
fishermen would have to compete VITA
bona fdc subsidized industry. This
Will be impossible and would mean
the extinction OF cur deep sea fisher
les, which would he Il misfortune in
itself AID injury to the consumers
This Is true OF no other industry af-
fected. But l shall no, offer even this
| amendment unless I am satisfied !,
will not endanger the passage or the
