COURT AND TREASURY DECISIONS.

addition to the rates

of duty imposed thereon by existing law.

45 per centum ad valorem.

The provision in paragraph 339 of the act of 1897 for wearing apparel in part of lace was held to be more specific in reference to cotton neckwear composed in part of lace than the provision in paragraph 314 for neckties or neckwear composed of cotton. (Goldenberg v. United States, 130 Fed. 108, of 1904; petition for certiorari denied, 195 U. S. 634.)

•

Cotton knit shawls, returned by the appraiser as "imitation cotton lace wearing apparel," were declared not to be made wholly or in part of imitation lace within paragraph 339 of the act of 1897 but were held to be dutiable under paragraph 314 which provided for wearing apparel composed of cotton or other vegetable fiber or of which cotton or other vegetable fiber was the component material of chief value, made up or manufactured wholly or in part by the tailor, seamstress, or manufacturer. (G. A. 6040, T. D. 26369, of 1905.) In Abstract 34284 T. D. 34000, of 1913, cotton lace shawls were held to be dutiable as cotton lace wearing apparel under paragraph 349 of the act of 1909 rather than as wearing apparel of cotton under paragraph 324. Knit scarfs, composed of cotton and lace, cotton chief value, made on knitting machines or frames were, however, held dutiable as cotton knit wearing apparel under paragraph 261 of the act of 1913 rather than under the provision in paragraph 358 for "wearing apparel, and all other articles or fabrics made wholly or in part of lace or of imitation lace of any kind." (G. A. 7775, T. D. 35715, of 1915. But in a later case brought by the same importers, upon proof of commercial designation, merchandise identical with that passed upon in T. D. 35715, supra, was held to be properly dutiable under the provision in paragraph 358 of the act of 1913 for "wearing apparel, and all other articles or fabrics made wholly or in part of lace or of imitation lace of any kind." (G. A. 7947, T. D. 36596 modifying G. A. 7775, T. D. 35715, supra.)
