CASE IS APPEALED.
Controversy Over Entry Of Table
Commodities Free of Duty,

1t is considered by the customs serv-
ice so important an issue whether or
not ducks feet and .gizzards imported
into the United States shall pay duty
that the assistant secretary, Andrew
J. Peters, has determined to night IN
the Court of Customs Appeals the ruling
of the board OF appraisers that thess
imports shall come In free. as meats
prepared or unprepared. not specially
provided for in the tariff schedules.
In view OF the importance OF the
ISSUE" he writes to the assistant at
torney general in charge OF customs
appeals at New York, you are hereby
requested to file in the name of the
Secretary of the Treasury an applica-
ton with the United States Court OF
Customs Appeals for review of the
SAID decision"
Certain commodities described as pate
de foie gras, PURGE de fol ,gras, and
sausage. also ruled by the board as
free Of duty under the same definition
Of their status as meats, prepared or
unprepared, etc." are also to be the sub
ject OF a similar appeal to the customs
court. A letter authorizing this pro-
cedure has also been sent to the as
sistant attorney general at New YORK.

TO PROTEST PAYING RENT
IN PANAMA CANAL ZONE
Committee Of Civilian Employees Due
to Arrive Here Today for Con-
ference With President.

A committee representing the civilian
employees on the Panama canal headed
by c. o. Simmons. chairman, was due
to reach Washington today to ask for
conference with President Wilson.
They came from the canal to protest
against Gov. Cocktails order charging
all the employees OF the canal rental for
their quarters.
They contend that the order is eauiva-
lent to a decrease in wages and in vfo-
.ation OF agreements between en-
ployes and the government.
Free rent has been part of the wages
Of canal employes-one of the consid-
erations which has induced men to live
on the isthmus." said Mr.. Simmons.
Now the men without representation
are taxed by executive order for rent
amounting to some 100000 a year. 1t
is equivalent to reduction in pay of
10 per cent for some men and more for
others

OBJECTS TO AN ORDER
OF JUVENILE COURT
Board Of Children's Guardians OBJ
tains Writ of Error to Test
Jurisdiction.

The question of the conflict of juris-
diction between the board Of children's
and the Juvenile Court is to
be determined by the Court Of Appeals
of the District of Columbia. The ap-
pellate court has granted writ OF
error to the Juvenile Court In the case
OF George Roat, who was ordered out
of the custody of the board after the
expiration Of the term Of court during
which the child had been placed under
the care of the board during his MI
nority.
Ever since the Juvenile Court was
established, it is said, there has been
more or. less controversy over the
question. The board has always main
tanned the position that when the court
has committed child to 1t and that
term of court has expired the court has
no further jurisdiction Oh the child and
that the boards control becomes abso-
lutte. The Juvenile Court, on the con-
trary, holds, 1t is asserted, that the emo
of term and lapse of time have notnln8
to do with its Jurisdiction. and that the
board is an instrument Of the court Tor
guardianship for SO long and IN soch
manner as the court desires or directs
Relatives Seek Custody.
Relatives of George Roat, through
Attorney Tracy L. Jeffords, sought TO
secure his custody after his commit
ment to the board of guardians. Judge
Latimer issued a rule on the board re
curing the presence of the boy In
court, and the board presented him.
but with the statement in its answer
that 1t denied the courts jurisdiction
and was acting out of courtesy onAy
in bringing the boy into court. The
Judge decided to dispossess the board
Of Its control, and directed that the
child be delivered to q half-sister.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ste
dians applied for a writ of error, which
has been allowed by the Court of Ap-
peals. Hearing in the appellate court
may be reached next month.
