1912. At that time there was a de-
felt of nine millions in customs rev.
enues compared with the comparative
period, a year before. There was mo-
thing in the situation at that time
to indicate an improvement in condi-
tons. So when ! submitted an esti.
mate that there would probably be a
deficit of $18,000,000 in customs re-
ceipts, for the fiscal year ending June
80 last, compared with the previous
year felt my estimate was conserva-
tive Shortly after January 4 the
customs receipts commenced to in
crease. Instead of a deficit of $751;
000, 900 on July /, the customs reYen-
ues were but 100000 below what
they were the year before. Since then
the situation has improved until to-
day with less than three months of
the new fiscal year gone by our re-
ceipts are approximately ten millions

instead, of deficit for this year a
surplus of probably $50,00O,000 for the

Mrs. Johnson went to her rooms above

Mrs Johnson was Miss Eta Perry,

years the wife of Clarence Duryea,
wealthy clubman of New York city
and Long island. In the spring of
1910 she got a divorce, the decree be-

cago. Duryea was then in the Adj
rondacks being treated for tubercu-
losis. A few months later she mar
ried Johnson. 81
The first bitter fruits of the inter
racial marriage came when her
friends socially ostracized her. Then.
came another shock with full realiza-
ton of the forebodings of her friends
