LOST MONEY ON BEACH;
 FINDS IT YEAR LATER
o-O

Nearly one year ago, Jack Hanseth, the logger, who up till then carried considerable money on his person, lost a wallet containing $240 in currency. Failing to find any trace of the wal let, he gave up. Since then however, when he receives any money he makes a bee line for the bank. It cost Jack quite a sum to get wise.
 A few days ago, one of his friends picked up the wallet on the beach, op- ened it and sure enough therein was the money, black from the long stay in the water but otherwise just as good as ever. The money was re- turned and taken to the bank to dry. In this little incident, it is clearly dem onstrated that Hanseth was careless and John Knutsen, the finder, is hon. st.-Petersburg Progressive.

STRIPPED OF HIS POWER
Customs Court Rules Against
Secretary of Treasury in
Tariff Issue.

The customs court yesterday stripped
the Secretary of the Treasury of the
power he always has exercised of deter
mining the maximum amount of protec-
ton to be accorded under the tariff act
upon any article grown or manufactured
in this country.
The court held that when an importer
protested for the right to pay a higher
duty on an article than that assessed by
the collector the government had no
right to confess judgment and thus end
the case without establishing prece-
dent. The issue must be brought to trial
and the decision be controlling in similar
cases. Thus, the right to determine final
ly the highest amount of duty which
should be assessed on any article is re-
moved from the Secretary of the Treas
ury to the customs court.
Previously, the court decided that an
importer had a right TO ask for a higher
duty. When the American MANUFACTURING
Company appealed for a higher rate of
duty on a consignment of jute Tagging
than that assessed by the collector at
New York the collector confessed judg-
ment. The board of general appraisers
consented to the confession and the GUS
toms court today reversed that decision,
remanding the case for a new trial.
This will give an American producer
desiring more protection than that al
lowed by the Secretary to import "a test
shipment and appeal to the courts.
