stronger. Members of both houses

RESULTS OF COUNTRYWIDE IN.
vEsrleArIoN BY UNCLE
SAM.

New York.-A countrywide investi-
CATION which the Treasury Depart
ment has started has disclosed dis
crepancies in the wrapper and filler
statistics of tobacco imports from
Cuba, which have deprived the gov
ernment of between $3,0o0.000 and
S5.000.000 annually for the last five
years. statisticians show that cigar
makers who turn out pure Havana ci.
gars must have six per cent. of their
stock in wrapper" while the atatis-
tics for the Treasury Department
show fraction under onefifth OF one
per cent of the Cuban importations
classified as wrapper" and paying
duty as such.
Advance reports on this investiga-
tion show, 1t is said, that Cuban i'm
portations have been admitted under
a classification which in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1909. deprived
the customs house of 100000 to s5,-
100000
It was said by treasury officials
that approximately the same sum had
been lost to the government annually
for at least five years.
From the Investigation thus far, it
was the belief this loss was a matter
of long established trade custom,
rather than of frauds.
Collector Loeb is quoted as saying
1--WE knew that the tobacco trade has
been getting the best of us, but we do
not know to what extent; and the in
vestlgation has not proceeded far
enough to determine"
The probable result of the inquiry,
Mr. Loeb continued, would be an
amendment to the customs regula-
tions. by which the custom house
could arrive closer at the amount of
each class of tobacco leaf imported
from Cuba than was possible under
the present regulations, and that at
this stage of the investigation neither
criminal prosecutions nor civil suits
for back duties were contemplated.
1t is an open secret that thousands
of pounds of Havana leaf which in the
words of the tariff law is suitable
for wrappers" and actually is used as
such. are brought into the country un
der the classification OF filler" at
$1.20 less duty a pound than should be
paid on everything used for wrappers.
