 Little encoura cement is given the promoters of roller hockey in this city either by the attendance of the fans at the games or by the manner m which the local team is perform ing. The crowds this year are slim and interest appears to have waned in the game.

Paris, Feb % H-Evacuation If

In view OF the fact that it is part
Of the background of the German

some private conversations regard

The French idea is that If the

ing in effect it is difficult enough
for the conference to dead with
purely financial matters without
complicating its work on political
affairs.
1t is understood Gustav Stress

tends to bring up the subject at the
meeting of the council of the league
consequently there may be some re-
action bearing on the reparations
problem among other members Of
the council.
Increasing attention Is being paid
the work of the subcommittee on
commercialization Of the German
payments. The group Is studying
carefully the conditions requisite
for successful marketing of the rep
arations loans. particularly that
phase concerned with giving sub
scribers of all countries equal ad p.
vantages. Divergent laws concern
ing income tax. inheritance taxes,
etc. make this difficult.
This. however is not insuperabIe,
and the subcommittee is confident of
being able to find way to make
the loans adequately attractive to
investors of all nations.

perior Judge Carlos s. Hardy OF Los

defending her kidnapping story. The
fifth charge is that he issued cards OF

TARIFF TINkERING
near SECOND PHASE

Mills principal criticism of the pres
ent statute was directed at the Sec
tons applying to the basis of valua-
ton for assessment of ad valorem
duties. He said the present reap
praisement methods may In certain
Instances result in the fixing OF a
value which cannot be properly veri-
fed.
He cited the section of the tariff
act, which directs appraisement of
United States value where foreign
value cannot be properly determin-
ed. but said that the trouble did not
lie Their. He attributed the fault to
the fact that customs court in an
appealed case might rule that for
eign value did exist, even though the
appraiser could not properly deter
mine this value. AS a result. he told
the committee the duty paid would
be based on foreign value proved
to the court by the submission of at
fidavits which treasury agents were
unable to verify"
He recommended a change where
by the basis of value determined On
by the appraising officer, subject to
review by the secretary OF the treas
ury, should be applicable through
out all reappraisement proceedings,
and he also suggested that the APP
praiser's valuation be made 'prima
facie correct on reappraisement."
The repeal of provision which
places an embargo upon the goods Of
exporters who refuse to allow access
to their books for the purpose of de-
termininE value was also recon-
mended by Mr.. Mills.
