CASE UP AGAIN

Made to Prove Claim to
Russell Estate.

Cambridge, Mass. July s.-The at
tempt Of a man from Dickinson. N. D.,
to establish his identity as Daniel
Blake Russell of Melrose, was resum-
ed today before Gilbert A. Apevey sit
ting as master. The North Dakota
man seeks to obtain a half of the
100000 estate left by Daniel Russell.
The estate is now in possession of an
other son, William G. Russell. Of Mel
rose. who has recognized the man
from Fresno, Cal, as his brother, Dam
lei Blake Russell. who went west years
ago. The claimant asked hat the
hearing be postponed until July Is,
explaining that his chief counsel, Les
lie Simpson. would be unable to reach
the city before that date, After argu-
ment it was decided to place the mat
ter before Judge Braley in the SUI
preme court in Boston tomorrow. A
recess was taken until 2 p. m. tomor-
row.
The North Dakota man failed two
years ago to establish his claim, after
a trial lasting nearly seven months.

four hours vain hunt for George Wit
IN. the prisoner in the Tombs who
attacked a guard with q cold chise,
last night and held twenty-five keep
ers at bay with the guards gun after
he had dropped into a manhole in the
prison yard. the authorities last night
gave up their man as lost.
1t is believed that Wilson escaped
by way of the manhole and the cellar
into some other part of the prison
which was not watched at the time,
and scaled a wall to freedom. Boys
in the vicinity of the prison told a
story of a nan coming over the wall,
stealing one of their caps and MAX
ing off, but the police and prison au-
thorities We're inclined to doubt the
story at the time.

FISCAL YEAR 1872
MADE NEW record
Year Just Closed is One of
Remarkable
Volume.

The foreign of the United
States made Il new and remarkable
record in the fiscal year just ended.
The total value of the merchandise
entering and leaving the country in
ITS trade with foreign lands n Its
own island possessions in the fiscal
year 1912 was four billion dollars.
The value of manufactures exported
was more than one billion dollars.
and the alu of non-dutiable mer-
chandise entering the country was
one billion dollars. OF this n bill
liop dollars worth of non-dutiable
merchandise entering the country dur-
ing the year ending June 80. 1912,
about 300 million dollars worth was
from foreign countries n 100 mill
lion dollars worth was from Hawaii
and Porto Rico. OF the merchandise
coming from foreign countries only
| (and not including that from Hawaii
and Portn Tico) 53.5 per cent entered
free of duty. against 44.3 per cent
during he entire period of the Ding
ley law. ASS per cent under the Will
son law and SO per cent under the Nc
kinley law. when the admission of
sugar free OF duty made the percent
age of duty-free imports unusually
large, but not SO high as that of the
year just ended. In fact, the value of
duty-free merchandise entering from
foreign countries in 1912 not only eX-
ceeds by far that of any earlier
Year, but also forms q larger share
of the total imports than in any
previous years except 1892 and 1894,
the opening and closing years of the
operations of the Mckinley law.
when the imports of sugar free of
duty We're ~abnormally large. Imports
of duty-free merchandise never reach
I'd as much as 100 million dollars
prior to 1873. They touched the 200
million dollar line in 1850, the 800
million dollar line In 1891. the 400
million dollar line in 1892. the 500
million dollar line in 1905, the 500
million dollar line in 1907. the 700
million dollar line in 1910. and in
1912 np%proNinatcd 900 million dol
lars: and tn" addition of the mer-
%chandise coming from cur own
islands brings the grand total of nom
dutiahle merchandise in the fiscal
year l912 UP to a round one billion
dollars.

AS HE SEES IT

Grain markets and grain CROPS in
the northwest are on exhibition lust
now and promise to be so throughout
the growing season. AS harvesters
tramp northward to keep in touch
with wages and the labor demand in
the gathering Of the sheaves, so do the
crop experts who are sizing up the
crops Of the northwest. That they do
not agree fully is not so strange, as
prisms DETECTING different angles Of
desire. There are, too. ranges and
sections varying greatly in prospect,
Therefore, with each one striving for
conditions that crafty his ambitions.
1t is not so hard to find that he seeks
by evading that he has an aversion
to; so. differ as they may. fact is
hitched on the tale that every one
sees and tells.
