It is a stock of a style and character that will win the approval of everybody. And at the prices offered, the buying opportunity is tremendous. The mere announcement of this sale will draw crowds ta ihese stores first thing Monday morning. The purchase of the stock from a store as important as Kaufmann and 4t the prices at which it will be offered cannot fail but win public approval. The savings are positively astounding. The remission of fines and forfeitures under the customs laws is purely with- in the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury and his action may not be controlled by mandamus. This is the effect of a decision rendered yesterday by Justice Frederick L. Siddons of the District of Columbia Supreme Court in which he dismissed a suit for man- damus brought by Heller & Co., of Chicago, to compel the remission of the forfeiture of an automobile seized at| the Canadian border while in charge of Julian Brabou and which was said to have contained 35 quarts of liquor, cnmwhlch no customs duty had been paid. N The petitioner claimed that it had titié to the machine under a conditional bill of sale to Brabou and knowledge of any intention to dse the | machine in an illegal manner. It was | claimed that section 618 of the tariff | act of 1022 specifies the conditions on | which forfeitures and fines may be re- | mitted and that the company was en- | titled thereunder to have the machine returned. Assistant United States Attorney Wil- | lianmy A. Gallagher in behalf of Secre-! tary Mellon asked the dismissal of the| suit on the claim that the tariff act clothes the Secretary of the Treasury with discretion to decide whether an| applicant for remission of fine or for-| feiture has met the requirements of the | law. The decision of the Secretary in that regard, he contended, could not| be reviewed by the court. Attorney Nathan B. Willlams for the company is expected to appeal to the Court of Appeals. The case has attracted wide atten- %\ tion from automobile financing com- panies, it is understood. ENTRANCE ASKS REVISION OF ACT. | Q09 F.ST NW.
