DUTY ON ARGENTINA WHEAT,
Product of South American Country
Subject to Retaliation.

No wheat. flour and other products can
como in free Of duty from Argentina to
lower the cost of living. Assistant Sec
retary Hamlin Informed collectors of
customs that the retahatory duty on
wheat and it's products must be enforc-
&c against Argentina and most of the
other nations of the world. Under the
new tariff law wheat and it's products
are to be admitted free from countries
which admit such products free from
the United States. 1t is understood that
the President and congress of Argentina
favor the repeal of the law in that coun-
try providing for a duty on semolina,
product of wheat.
Housewives, however may find some
comfort in a second order to collectors
whereby the 10 per cent retaliatory duty
on potatoes and potato products will not
be assessed against fresh. dried or
ground potatoes from Denmark; potatoes
and potato products except potato hour
from Netherlands, and potato flour from
New Zealand.

PROBLEM UP TO COURT.
When Is a Locomotive Tender a
Tender and When a Car?

When is a locomotive tender not a ten
der and when does II become a plain car?
Should the locomotive end Of the tender
be considered a car, just as the far end
has been so considered, or is the entire
tender a tender only? These are inter
esting questions that have been brought
10 the Supreme Court for decision
The courts already have held that the
far end of the tender is u ear within the
meaning OF the safety appliance act, re-
quiring the use of automatic couplers
between cars, and between cars and To-
comotives. Upon the decision in the pres
ent case depends whether Mrs. Mary G.
Pennell, widow OF JAY A. Pennell. will
recover from the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Company for his death.
Pennell was killed when the air brakes
on a train on which he was working ac-
cidentaliy set, breaking the old fashioned
link and pin coupler between the loco
motive and tender.
