Supreme Court Upholds Additional Tariff Duty
The U S Supreme Court sustains the 1 percent additional duty on value and confirms penalties when entry value undervalues goods like silk and cotton woven fabrics. The ruling holds that importers must state true values and that appraised increases trigger extra duties. In Seattle, Alaska the Kayukuk mining district reports the first prospectors returning, one almost blind, and a relief party seeking six frozen prospectors near Seventy Mile camp. Several sick with scurvy near Selkir fortify the call for medical help as winter hardships press northern outposts.
