INSURANCE MONEY
SAVES LITTLE BANK

Denver, March 3.-The financial con.
volutions of an unnamed man from
Kansas City yesterday placed the de-
funct Florence State bank of Florence,
COL, on it's feet through a decision
900 insurance money to the cashier of
that institution. The financial en-
tanglement of the Kansas City man
started with deserted mill and an
abandoned gold mine.
Several years ago a mill was built
at Florence, COL, for the purpose of
treating ore with cynanide process
which failed. An unknown man from
Kansas City bought the mill together
with an old mine for $40 900 and organ
lied the Colorado Mining. Milling and
Leasing Co., used the structure to get
out a prospectus and sold stock to the
amount of $4,000 to Kansas and Ne
braska people. --...
Insurance on the place required
special risk contract by which protec-
ton to the amount of $4,000 was OBJ
tanned from seven different companies.
The mill was destroyed by fire. Six
com panies paid the claims presented,
but the seventh, the Palatine Insur-
ance Co., refused. The Kansasan as
signed the. suit to the bank and dis
appeared. Damages in the sum of s21,-
900 with interest at 8 per cent was
awarded the cashier, acting as re-
ceiver for the bank against the Pala-.
tine Insurance Co. The money re-
ceived from the suit will place TIC
bank on it's feet.

CUSTOM RECEIPTS
ARE FALLING OFF
DUTIES COLLECTED IN FEBRUARY
ARE TEN MILLIONS SHORT OF
THOSE OF 1918.

Washington, D. G., March 3.-Cus-
tom receipts for the entire United
States for February fell off slightly
more than $1O,000,000 compared with
the same month of 1913. This is by far
the most marked discrepancy in such
receipts for the months of 1914 than
has been noticed since the new tariff
became law. Although no report Is
forthcoming it is pointed out that mil
lions Of dollars worth of sugar is in
bond in New York, New Orleans and
other ports held for weeks to take ad-
vantage of Is per cent reduction in
duties in force today. Customs officials
here, too, called attention to the fact
that despite this falling off, the admin
istration counts upon about $50,OOO,.
900 year from the income tax. They
are hopeful that the income tax and
the increase secured from the new
corporation tax will more than Offset
the reduction in customs. All receipts
amounted to $43633,S57, compared
with $54,So2,41s in February, 1913. The
disbursements for the month exceeded

Sugar is Withdrawn.
New York, March 3.-Heavy with
drawals from bonded warehouses of
raw sugars were made yesterday at
New York as the result of the Is per
cent cut in duties provided for in the
tariff act of 1913, effective March l.
The custom house officials reported
that twenty-five warehouse entries for
delivery were made, while the duties
paid on the Withdrawals aggregated
$250,OO0.
Several refineries in this city and
Yonkers have resumed full time after

their plants.
1t was said in the Trade today that
the tariff reduction has been discount
ed and probably will cause no further
drains in the price of refined sugar.
