CONSTRUCTION IS WANTED The Treasury Officials Say Revision is Lowiest in History With the Exception of Walker Act in 1846?Referred to President Wilson. Washington.?Officials of the Treas ury department are at sea to know what Congress actually meant by the provision of the new tariff law allowing a five per cent reduction of duties I on goods imported in Amenrican ships j with the condition that the differential should not be construed to abrogate or impair any existing treaty between the | United States and a foreign Nation. Laterally interpreted, it is declared the provision would give a five per cent j decrease to goods in American bottoms and automatically grant the same ' p lilege to the ships of the many Nations whose treaties with the United States guarantee no disci imination between their vessels and those of i America. Ths construction which would be a reasonable redurtion of five per cent in tne tarm ior importation irom most of the great countries of the world, involves probably ten millions in revenue for the government, creating a deficit instead of a surplus in the Treasury as has been estimated iby the tariff framers. The question undoubtedly will be referred to President Wilson and Attorney General Afo Reynolds and ultimately will reach the United States Supreme Court. The State and Treasury Departments already are in consultation over the effect of the provision, the first snag struck in the new law. Whatever the interpretation of the provision for Nations with these guarantees of equality, it is pointed out other serious questions arise as to 23 Nations whose treaties with this country do not guarantee against discrimination. i A Test of the Clause. , Washington.?The Federal Government's effort to prove that "the grandfather clause" of the Oklahoma Constitution violates the Constitution of the United States "was begun in the Supreme Court with the filng of a brief by Solicitor General Davis. The Circuit Court of Appeals has certified j to the Supreme Court the question of the validity of the amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution. The Solicitor contends that the entire provision is unconstitutional because it violates the I fifteenth amendment to the Federal [ Constitution guaranteeing suffrage | without discrimination as to race color or prevous condition of servitude. ( Eighteen Seamen Drowned. Yarmouth, Eng.,?Eighteen seamen I of the crew of the British steamer Gardenia were drowned when that vessel foundered after a collision in a fog with the British steamer Corn wood.
