NEW YORK, June 19 The attention of Judge Henderson M. Somervlile, chairman of the board of classification of the I'nlted States general apprais ers, was called lately to the statement of M. Dewltte, the Russian minister of finanqe, on the Russian sugar declsvn. Judge Somervlile wrote the opinion of the majority of the boird in the decision made last April, holding that the laws of Russia bestowed an Indi rect bounty on the exportation of her suirar products, within the meaning of section five of the present tariff act He stated among other things when Questioned about M. Dewitte's observa Hons: "The question as to the construction of the Russian law governing the pro duction and exportation of sugar is purely a legal one. The legal aspects of the subject seem, however, to be en tirely overlooked In the political and fiscal attitude It lias assumed under the retaliatory tariff which Russia Is wag. Ing against American Industries. The criticisms of Secretary Gage's action In this matter are exceedingly unjust and are manifestly based on a shallow view of the law governing the official duties of the secretary of the treasury. In the first place M. Dewltte Is mis taken In his assertion that the secretary based his ruling merely upon the report and opinion of the American consul. Mr. Holloway. He had before him the Russian law and regulations In all their Intricacies of purpose and phras eology and passed fully on the merits of the question." "The policy of Russia ta refusing to discuss the subject," continued Judge Somervlile, "has been folowed up by a recent order of the minister of finance, made since the boards decision, forbid ding the prlfs of transferable certifi cate; any longr to be quoted In th 'ock mark -is Can th purpose of this a-tlon be otherwise than to conceal from the courts In this country evi dence of a kind which goes to estab lish the existence of and exact nature of th Russian government bounty on sugar? ' The recent convention of American manufacturers held at Detroit really perceived the remedy for the exlatlng evils (If any) disturbing trade and ex citing a tariff war between this country and Rusaa. They placed the reapon slblllty where it belongs and called on the congress of the United States to modify section of the Dlngley tariff act, knowing that It is for that body and not for the courts to amend or appeal laws bv legislation. The Judicial func tion is confined to construction and doe not permit legislation." LANGUAGE WAS DIFFICULT. Because He Couldn't Learn Englih Young Cuban Commits Suicide. NEW YORK, June W.
