u. s. Wins FIGHT
ON COLORED TEAS
Judge Hough UpholdS Ban
Put on Importations
by Government.

After several years of controversy
the government has won its fight to ex.
clude importations of teas containing
deleterious coloring matter, such as in.
digo, Prussian blue and blue lead. The
exclusion of such teas is based on an
opinion handed down by Judge Hough,
in the Federal District Court yester.
day, UNFOLDING the examiner Of the
General Board of Appraisers in the sui,
brought by Carter, Macy G. Co, import.
ers, against George 5. Browne and
other appraisers TO have the so-caled
Read test" declared illegal. Even il
imported tea Of the highest grade is
found 10 contain cOlOring matter il is
to be excluded under the "Read test"
according TO Judge Hough.
The fight began when quantity OF
young Hyson" tea, imported by the
plaintiffs, was excluded because OF the
color. Carter. Macy & Co. appealed
10 the Tea Board, which includes the
General Board of Appraisers, but the
examiner was upheld. Then followed
an injunction suit in equity to have
the "Rcad test" declared illegal Joseph
II. Choate, jr., attorney for Carter,
Macy & Co.. declared that II was not IN
accordance with the customs Of the
trade.
Judge Hough in his opinion said that
the test revealed the presence of Prus-
sian blue in small quantities in the
tea. and was often used TO increase
weight. The judge found also that
the Tea Board is vested with quasi
judicial or discretionary powers 10 test
tea for purity, quality and fitness.
"The purity of tea" the court held
has long been debased by facing OF
coloring. The former is often used 20
increase weight by the admixture Of
such materials as tale, etc. Coloring
has been thought desirable for green
teas. of which the color Of some If not
most grades is obtained by mixing
Prussian blue, ultramarine or indigo
with the tea while it is being dried.
One grain of Prussian blue will color
seven pounds of tea, and this substance,
which is the lead or writing part Of
a blue pencil, seems to be the most
common pigment used

THERE is story coming from the
other side that the old question
of the merits in golf of the solid gut
ta.percha ball as against the present
rubber cored ball is to be tested out
by f0ur professionals OF Great Brit
atn--no less personages than J. H.
Taylor, Harry Vardon, James Braid
and George Duncan. Some of those
who saw Alex Herd In the year when
the open was played at Hoylake cover
that course, S,s75 yards, on windy
day in II strokes wish that he were
included in the number, especially in
view Of the fact that Alex played in
the exhibition matches at Cannes and
Nice on the Riviera and defeated
Duncan.
II II is true tIiat the contest is to be
a best ball match in the morning, all
playing with guilty. balls, and a
match in the afternoon in which two
OF the pros Will use rubber cored
balls and the other two gdtta
percha, It is putting 1t mildly to- say
that such test would surely demon
strate nothing except by inference as
TO the value OF the balls. In the first
place no man who had been playing
for the last few years with a rubber
cored ball would be willing to so into
a match with Dali tnat ne ndo not

practice with, and put himself on an
equality with the man who made no
change IN the ball No matter how
much these men may play just pre-
viouS to the contest with guilty"
balls, the preponderance for several
years with the rubher-cored ball ia
going to tell against the "gutty." Ac-
cordlng to the above demonstration,
IL ell four play in the morning with
the Eutta-percha balls, It will only
be a matter of which mans game is
best suited to the "deader" ball, and
the match In the afternoon with two
OF them using the rubber-coreB and
two the "gutties" would have a COM
plicating condition in 1t, dependent
upon the character Of the course the
