FRIDAY, MARCH 22,” 1929." NON-COMBATANT SLAIN. Honduran Killed in Clash on Nica- raguan Border. TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, March 22 ().—The government was informed yesterday that a Honduran resident was killed during a border clash by Amer- ican Marines and Nicaraguan National Guard with outlaws. About 100 fol- lowers of Augustino Sandino were said to have been so closely pushed by the military that the fighting was carriea into the town of San Marcos, Hon- duras.

To avoid future incursions, the Nica- | raguan government has offered to ! place a strong patrol near the border to prevent outlaws from entering Hon- | duras. MAN MAKING LEFT TURN DISMISSED AS ‘RECKLESS’ Witnesses Testify Arresting Officer Used Rough Tactics in Ap-' prehending Victim. A charge of reckless driving preferred against Sidney Glaser, 4800 block of | Wisconsin avenue, was dismissed by | Judge Gus A. Schuldt yesterday in Traffic Court. Arrested by Traffic Policeman J. Sin- cavitz, the defendant was said to have made an improper left turn at an inter- section. Judge Schuldt declared theac- tion did not constitute reckless driving. Witnesses to the arrest testified that | rough tactics were used by the police- man who apprehended Glaser, saging the man was dragged from his machine by his coat collar and violently forced into the patrol wagon. He was Te- quired to post $100 collateral for his appearance in court. Glaser was said to have recently filed suit for $10,000 damages against another policeman who directed trafic at an in- tersection near Sincavitz and is a friend of the arresting officer. Attorney George Boden appeared for the defendant. 0dd Traffic Rules. In Paris the pedestrian who gets in the way of a vehicle is arrested without regard to the character or extent of the injuries inflicted. In Berlin if your pet dog is run over by a vehicle you are not only likely to lose your dog, but as the owner of the animal you will be| & prosecuted. There is a new law in the city which makes it a misdemeanor to allow a dog to run in the streets ‘When out-of-doors the animal must kept on leash.’ the Departments of Agriculture and Commerce. Chairman Hawley had requested the departments to offer any proposals which their experience indicated should be considered in the framing of the new tariff bill. Replying, the Commerce Department proposed authorization for the local establishment of foreign trade zones; exemption from new duties of goods en route on the date the tariff law is enacted, and temporary duty- free importation of samples for exam- inat¥on and possible reproduction. Establishment of foreign trade zones in American ports by local authorities or groups, the department said, not only would aid in the expansion of American export and transshipment trade, but also would make possible a more effec- tive use of the American merchant marine. The foreign trade zone idea is an extension of the present system of permitting goods intended for re-export to be imported free of duty and placed in bonded warchouses until repacked or processed for transshipment. “Essentially,” the committee was in- formed, * s the minimizing of the official limitations and costs involved in the present formalities and control that Society Brand Clothes authorization of foreign trade zones.” / > B : 1922 Act Is Cited. - | The application of the new duties of the tariff act of 1922 to shipments al- ready en route to this country on the date the law was passed was-the sub- ject of considerable complaint, the de- partment said. To relieve this situation, it was proposed that the new duties to be provided in the 1929 law shall not take effect until 30 days after its passage. ¥ It is believed that such provisions, generally adopted by the various coun- tries,” the department said, “will minimize the unnecessary instability in international trading involved in revi- stons of customs duties, and will allow legitimate business the minimum time necessary to adjust itself to such changes, without appreciably affecting either the revenue or the protective ef- fect of tariff measures. In urging a specific provision to au- thorize the temporary duty-free entry under bond of samples intended to be used solely for comparison and possible reproduction, the department said it had been approached from time to time by manufacturers with requests for as- sistance in obtaining samples of foreign goods which they found were offering severe competition to their own prod- ucts in common export markets. Provision About Cattle. ‘The Agriculture Department suggested the elimination of the section which prohibits the importation of cattle and hides under certain conditions. The section was unnecessary, it was held, since the department already has ade- quate laws to prevent the importation of cattle and hides which would tend to spread disease among domestic cattle, “Moreover,” the department’s oom- munication said, “the section in the tariff law ig very confusing as worded and only applies to neat cattle and neat cattle hides, whereas diseases are readily introduced by means of other animals than cattle.” The flawless beauty of a diamond in fabric and tailoring.
