these transactions were made on tbe Chi

all of these transactions were made by tel

to sell her aome corn. I do not remember
all that waa eald. I told hr It would take
1200 In marglna If the market stayed there
and if the market went up it would take
more. I think ;hls is the oply positive
amount, and ahe told me she would have
the money for me that night or the next
morning, and I presume I told her all
right. I do not think there was anything
said as to how or where she would pay
the money. I understood that and ao did
she. She always mailed the money to me
throuah the Dostofflce. Thia 5200 waa not
Included In tbe 31,025. She told me to keep
my business to myself and not to say any

presume they were destroyed;, some of
them I know were." The defendant then
filed a motion to dismiss and discharge
the defendant, for the reason that tbe

dence tending to prove that the defendant
committed the crime, asserting that the

strongest points. Judge Miller closed the

COUNTERVAILING DUTY RIGHTLY LEVIED
niaaley Law Operates to Keep Oat
Prod act Accorded Special Privi

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. In an opinion
handed down by Justice Brown today the
I'hlted Statea supreme court decides In the
Bownea case that the money paid by tbe
Russian government on sugar exported la a
bounty and that the collector of customs at
New York waa Justified In levying a coun
tervailing duty on Russian sugar under the
terms of the Dlngley law.
The case came to the supreme court on
a writ of certiorari brought to test rulings
of the lower court and ot the board of gen
eral appraisers holding a cargo Imported
Into Baltimore from Ruasla to be subject to
a countervailing duty liable upon merchan
dise upon which a bounty is paid on west
ern transportation. The court today con
firmed these rulings.
Justice Brown aald under Russla'a method
of fostering its augar Industry, free sugar
which could be aold In Russia at the nor
mal excise of 1 75-100 roubles per pound
might be exported under a permit from the
excise office upon the return ot a free augar
certificate with the custom house export
mark, the excise then crediting the ex
ported quantity of augar to the free surplus
of the mill which la subject to the double
tax of 1.75 roubles.
Discussing tbe effect of thia certificate.
Justice Brown eald:
In practice the market value of these
claims must vary according to the demand
and supply, but the theory underlying the
transaction Is always this, that the ex
porter shall suffer no loss because he has
exported his free sugar Instead of oelllng
it In the home market. It Is practically ad-
j mitted In this case that a bounty eo.ua!
to the value of these certificates is paid
by the Russian government, and the main
J argument of the petitioner Is addressed to
msumeni 01 me petitioner I ni
the proposition that this bount
"ot J pon exportation, but upon 1
The n,w,r,"to tnl8 , ,natK rv,

production.
er v bou n t y
upon exportation must to a certain extent
operate as a bounty upon production, since
nothing can be exported which Is not pro
duced and since a bounty upon exporta
tion, by creating a foreign demand, stimu
lates an Increased production to the extent
of such demand. Consequently the bounty
on production operates to a certain extent
as a bounty upon exportation, el nee It opens
to the manufacturer a certain markt for
his merchandise produced In excess of de
mand at home. Where regulations exempt
suiiar from excise taxation altogether we
think they clearly fall within the defini
tion of an Indirect bounty upon exporta
tion. RESCUERS LOSE THEIR LIVES

..THE..
BIG TREES
CALIFORNIA'S attractions are mostly of
its own kind, pccular to the state, and of
I none is thia so emphatically true as that
unique product, the Big Trees. The age of these
.colossi is from 1,500 to 2,000 years. The Mariposa
Grove, which can be visited while en route to the
Yosemitc, contains some of the largest. In the
Calaveros Grove are from ninety to one hundred
of huge size. Near Santa Cruz is a beautiful
;rove of redwood Big Trees which will well em
ploy a day's visit.
Thetc attractions are best reached by the Union Pacific,
whoec last trains arrive at Sao Francisco and Loa Aogele
from Omaha sixteen hours ahead of all competitors.
