postoffice for the letter from home.
Harry took a detective with him to
the postoffice. The minute the truant
appeared his brother was at his side.

CHINA IMPORTATION
CASES WITHDRAWN
Six Proceedings Abandoned by
Government on Merits-Ten
Civil Suits Remain.

The action taken by the federal gov
eminent in disseminating six OF the six
teen suits against importers Of porcelain
manufactured in Limoges is the partial
elimination of controversy which has
absorbed the attention of the china trade
In this city for a number of years.
Prior. to 1908 the question OF what
was the market value Of Limoges ware
hau been a subject OF dispute that was
continuously arising, to the embarrass
ment not only of the importers, but also
Of the customs officers. In the year
1903, as the result of extensive investi-
cations made by the representatives Of
the United States Treasury Department
n formal agreement was entered into by
the authority of the Treasury Depart
ment on behalf of the United States gov
eminent on ono side, and the Chamber
side. by which the market value OF
Limoges china was officially fixed for
customs purposes. This agreement has
benn known to the china trade as the
Rate List" The government agreed
not TO modify the Rate List" without
prior notice to the Chamber of Com
merce.
At the instance of the French govern
ment. the French Ambassador at WASH
.ngton, Mr.. Jusserande, has lately
brought these suits to the attention Of
the State Department, and at the request
OF Attorney General McReynolds the
United States District Attorney in this
district has made an investigation into
the merits Of all OF these cases. Sew
eral OF the importers were merely the
selling agents for manufacturers in
Limoges, and the goods which had been
shipped to them had been entered as
corsignments and not as purchases. and
at the agreed market values fixed by the
Rate List"
AS to these defendants the govern
ment has voluntarily Withdrawn the
suits, deciding that it had no just cause
Of action on the merits. The following
are the cases which nave been discon-
tilued:
