Gutta-Percha Substitute.— Certain so called Guttaper- 

 cha substitute imported at New York and classified by the col- 

 lector of customs as a manufacture of Gutta-percha by simili- 

 tude was claimed by the importer to be dutiable at a lower 

 rate, as an unenunierated manufactured article. The evidence 

 before the board of general appraisers showed the article to 

 consist of artificial Gutta-percha — made from Gutta-percha, 

 waxes, and rosins — and that it is used exactly for the same 

 purposes as Gutta-percha in insulating wires and cables. The 

 classification made by the collector was affirmed.
