Tariff Compromise Offers Little Practical Effect
Berlin dispatches suggest a temporary tariff arrangement may be possible to avoid the maximum duties on American goods. The Treasury has revised tariff regulations, but German officials doubt this will prevent the broad duties. Russia may open new Danube routes to the German market, while the U S and Germany seek a provisional accord within days to avert a tariff war.

Three Held Accountable for Large Sum in Le Droit Park Case
In the case Charles W Richardson et al against Thomas C Henses Wellon Hooker and others, the Supreme Court of Lusuria held the defendants jointly liable for 68,840.04 due the Le Droit Park Land Syndicate. Trustees Richardson and the Henseys faced an accounting for funds allegedly fraudulently withheld. Justice Stafford had earlier removed trustees and directed an accounting. Auditor Payne reported that 17 shares of slack, deemed as others’ shares, should be treated as syndicate members’ shares. Hooker’s liability is limited to 97,022.00 allegedly received and withheld by Thomas G. Tienag amid misrepresentations about mortgage interest.
