CUSTOM REVENUES
ARE EXPECTED TO
MEET ESTIMATES
Figures So Far Show Con
gressional Estimates
Are Sound.

Washington. D. c., April 9.-Reve-
nues from the customs during the fis-
cal year which ends June 80, 1914, will
almost certainly meet and possibly ex-
coed the estimates made when congress
passed the tariff revision measures, &C
cording to figures made public by the
treasury department The statement,
prepared by assistant secretary NAL
burn, in charge of customs, said:
1T was estimated that the receipts
from customs for the fiscal year 1914,
which included three months under the
tariff act of 1909. and nine months
october B. 1913, would amount to
S21O,00O,O0O, resulting in a loss of
$4,000, 600 from the customs receipts
Of the previous year.
May Exceed Estimate.
The total customs collections for
the nine months just ended amounted
TO S225,5OO,0OO, showing loss for the
nine months period of $24,T50,00O, as
compared with the collections for the
same period during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1913. AS this loss is
only one-half Of the estimated loss for
the whole year, it is probable that the
receipts for the fiscal year ending
June go 1914, will exceed the estimate.
TT is to be noted that the loss in
revenue during the months of January
numbers to S6,00O,O00 and $4,000 900,
respectively.
This was caused by the falling off
OF the duties paid upon sugar, retained
in bonded warehouses pending the re-
ductiOn Of sugar duties on March 1,
1914 The customs receipts for these
two months amounted to S23.500,00
and s1T,500000, respectively. The Gus
toms receipts for the month OF March
Just closed were nearly SIS, 100000, as
9 nrnfUcf eQ7 E00 far "a d.
ing month OF 1912
In view Of the above figures it now
appears that a monthly average Of less
than $4,000 900 for April, Nay and
June, the remaining three months Of
the present fiscal year, would bring
the total Of customs receipts I'D to
500, 100000, the original estimate for
this fiscal year. It is probable that re-
eeipts for the three remaining months
will exceed this average Of $4,000, geo
and that the total receipts for the
fiscal year viii run over the estimate
of $27O,0 100000"

United States Jui Does Not Let Dignity With

= TDGE MAILER n BURNs Id

r UDGE WALLER T. BURNS does
not let the dignity of his position
~ as United States district judge in
terfere with his common sense. He
often relaxes and makes facetious
comments on cases that cause the
court attendants to smile behind their
hands, in spite of the marshaTs ad-
monition to keep order in the court,
gentlemen"
Wednesday morning Ballard Cold
well, police court recorder, appeared
in the federal court, representing
Bert Ramsey & company. charged
with misbranding whisky in violation
Of the pure food and drugs act
My client wishes to plead guilty,
your honor, and pay fine for the VIC
Iaton, Judge COldWell said. The dis
trict attorney thinks that $50 would
be sufficient, considering the facts
he added.
This is no police court" Judge
Burns answered. THE fine will be 500
and costs" The best part Of the Joke
is that judge Burns did not know
court.
At the afternoon session Wednesday.
Judge Burns called a number of civil
cases which had been entered on the
docket No replies We're received
from attorneys in the cases. Putting
on his gold trimmed glasses he said:
Mr. Hart just enter orders after each
case continuing them because of the
absence of attorneys. If the attor-
neys awake and appear to show cause
Ior their absence we will set aside
the court order"
Excuses Several Petit JURORS.
Judge Burns then turned to the petit
jury, which was drawn Monday morn
ing. but had nothing to do since that
time but wait around the courtroom
and answer roll calls. IF there are
any of you who are needed at home
you may be excused by stating your
excuses" judge Burns said.
One west Texan came down from
the jury box timidly, tiptOed over to
the clerks desk and whispered some
thing in Capt. Harris ear.
Tell it to the judge, friend, tell It
to the judge" the district clerk said.
Another low toned conversation fol-
lowed between the tinid juror and the
federal judge.
Sure you may be excused" the fed
eral judge said with a smile. Ct don't
like the way you comb your hair, any

Judge, I am in business in Ell Paso,
am very busy and have been away
from my business since Saturday. I
would like to be excused" a second
juror said.

you are excused" judge Burns an
swered the busy business man.

Preceding the excuse hearing session
judge Burns listened to a plea Of
guilty by boy who said his name
was Jack Hart. He was indicted on
the charge Of breaking the seal on a
railroad car. He had no attorney and
he told badly mixed story OF how
he had broken into the car for the pur-
pose of taking a suit of clothes in or
der to obtain a Job.
Judge Burns looked him over from
the heels of his run down low shoes
to the top of his curly hair
Why did you want another suit,
young man. he inquired, twas not
that suit sufficiently good for you
to work in?"
The boy mumbled something about
not being able to get the kind of a
Job he wanted in the suit which was
greasy and out at the seat.
What is your name" asked the
judge sternly.
I would rather not say, your honor"
he answered
Has your name any especial value

1T hasn't much to me, judge but
1t has to my mother and sisters and I

1t was an unexpected answer and

diSnified judge. He took the case

that he viii not be dealt with severely
