CUSTOMS COURT WILL
 PASS MAXIMUM DUTY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The Gus toms Court today stripped the secre- tary of the Treasury of the power he has exercised of determining the maximum amount of protection to be accorded under the Tariff act upon any article grown or manufactured in this country.
 The court held that when an im- porter protested for the right to pay a higher duty on an article than that assessed by the Collector the Govern ment had no right to confess judg- ment and thus end the case without es' tablishing a precedent. The issue must be brought to trial and the decis, ion be controlling in similar cases, Thus the right to determine finally the highest amount of duty which should be assessed on any article is removed from the Secretary of the Treasury to the Customs Court.

A GREAT FARCE AND
 BOLD-FACED ROBBERY

The Alaska Packers Association has paid into the clerk of the district court at Valdez the license for twelve canneries and two salteries: $S9,29S.O4 was paid in hatchery certificates and sS9S.SO in cash for salted salmon which cannot be paid in certificates. During the past quarter the clerks of- flee received $46.659O4 in certificates from the canneries, all this causes the Prospector to remark:
 "Through the keen foresight the A. p. A. always manages to hatch a sui ficient number of salmon spawn to cover the amount of license due the government for salmon canned. A greater farce and more bold-faced robbery was never committed on peo' Dle than the use of these certificates in the payment of government licens- es. The Alaska fund is being robbed annually in order to fatten lot of hungry outsiders whose maws appear never to be appeased."

 TRADE WITH ORIENT JUMPS
Immense Exports of Raw Cot ton to India, China and Japan.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15. - Never was trade between the United States and the Orient so great as during 1912. Inn ports from Asia and Oceanica combined amounted to $780, OOO,OOO in 1912, as against $780, OOO,OOO in 1902; and the ex- ports to Asia and Oceanica for the last year aggregated $780, OOO,OOO, against $96,OOO,OOO ten years ago.

The exports of cotton to those countries prior to 1911 amount ed to practically nothing, Jap an received from the States during the year just past 2O9,OOO,OOO pounds of raw cot ton, which adds materially to our exports to the Orient.

Ethereal Corsage Fingers.

The corsage of the afternoon dresses
are very like those of the tailor mades,
for they are all chiffon, lace and fur,
with wide belts or dainty coates
which can quite well be called waist
coats. Then over these one may wear
4 little mantelet, draped and pulled
up in a coy way to suit oneself The
mantelet can be in vivid figured vel
vet, or in any material the wearer may
choose so that 1t harmonizes or
clashes properly with the gown. Big
shawl collars of fur make the little
eloaks important, and their Innings
must be chosen with care.
