SUGAR COMPANY WINS SUIT
An Old Fight Over Duties Goes
Arainst the Government.

The American Sugar Refining Company
announced yesterday that ,t had secured
favorable decision from TIE United States
Cour, Of Customs Appeals in a suit against
the government brought In 1899 over irregu-
lar practices in the matter Of assessment
Of sugar duties that were then followed
by customs officials In the Port Of New
York The decision given hy Justice Barber
awarded the company $40 no refunds and
s. zoo costs
The suit arose over tests made on the
sugar cargo Of three ships by the super
vising sugar examiner OF the port.
Being dissatisfied with the results Of the
offcial polariscoptc test" the statement
said he subsequently caused other re-
ports 20 be made said to have been based
upon resample tests, but which Il was later
claimed were not made at all. BY means
OF those secondary reports the local Gus
tom House forced the payment OF duties at
a higher rate than should have been col
lected according 20 the original govern
ment test The case is important In that
Il makes it obligatory upon the govern
ment officials 70 abide by their own tests
as described and provided by Law and to
cease demanding from importers settle
ment' tests.
Contrary 10 the trend OF recent events
the statement continued. the American
Sugar Refining Company finds Itself IN the
position OF having convinced the United
States Court of Customs Appeals that for
mer customs officials In the Port OF New
York have in the past been guilty Of ir-
regular practices in the matter Of the as
sessment Of sugar duties.
1T Is believed that this decision will
open up the way for the institution OF fur
ther suits for the recovery of excess duties
irregularly collected upon the basis OF the
settlement tests, and which In the
future It viii be Illegal for the government
officials 10 demand"
Collector Loeb said last night that the
practice OF settlement tests was discon-
tinued many years before he took Office.
and that It did not seem likely to him that
more suits would be brought by the COM
pany.
