At present in the first place the complaint is rtferred ta the Secretarys of the> Treasury. If it concerns under valuation 1t is referred by the Secretary to the Assistant secre- iary of the Treasury having charge of customs. He in turn refers 1t to the SUI pervisiff9 special agent. who passes 1t along to the agent in charge. from which it goes to the agent, then the appraiser, who passes it over to the man who orig finally makes the examination
 Thus Q complaint, after passing all around this circle. comes back to the man who made the original examination and he is asked to pass judgment upon himsei1s

@He's Queer President" Says Moth
 CT Jones, Eff He Refuses to See Us.'
 Mother Jones and her army" of thirty two individuals are in Newark, where the Essex trades council has made arrangements to take care of the bedraggled followers. Mother Jones is a guest of friends at 436 Devon street, Kearny. She talked to news paper men yesterday and delivered an address last night from the court house steps at Market street and Springfield avenue.
 Mother Jones was asked what she would do if President Roosevelt re- fused to see her and her committee.
 That is his privilege she said. T hardly think he can afford to refuse to see the representatives of the labor enslaved children of the United States, Perhaps they do not work strenuously enough to suit him. If the president refuses to see our committee in behalf of the child workers of his country, he surely is a queer president. But whether we are received or not we will go on just the same We are not dis couraged. Our object is a good one, and the president ought to be made aware of it." -

INSPECTION A FAILURE.

c. F. U. Delegates Refuse to Show
 the Union Labels on Their Clothes.
 New York, July 1S.-Some time ago the miscellaneous section of the Cen tral Federated union passed a resolu- ton fixing on last Tuesday for the examination of the garments of mem bers to see if they bore the union la bel The examination was to 1n- clude hats, neckties, collars, coats, waistcoats, trousers and shoes, the word of the delegates to be taken for the rest.
 The inspection was failure. It appears that Delegate Helm Of the Boxmakers' union was chosen to make the examination. There were forty delegates, and when be started to ex- anime the clothing of the first one the man objected strenuously to taking off his shoes. The second delegate said that Helm ''was too fresh" and the third advised him to "chase him. self" The fourth, fifth and sixth arose in mutiny against the examina- ton and 1t had to be stopped.
 It was decided to hold the examina- ton at a later date, the examiners to be selected from some of the unions of tailors. It is expected that the tailors will do the business more tact fully than the boxmaker

REPORT OF MEETING
Was Not What Actually Took Place
 Thursday Evening.

Persons who were present at the hearing before the board of public safe ty on Thursday night of charges pre- ferred against Officer Halpin by Prose cutting Attorney Durant. were some what surprised when they read in two local papers the account of the argu- ment for the conviction of the officer which the prosecutor is alleged to have made. And well might they have been surprised. No more surprised were they, however, than were the members of the board. Attorney Durant did not say that the officer was bull-headed or coward, for if he did he might have been called to order by the board. He did not say that he knew Chief Egan had given proper in structions to the police. These are only a few of the many statements which the argument in the two papers con- tained, that were not said. The fact is that Attorney Durant had type written copy of the argument which he intended to make. But in making his argument either his memory played him false or he thought it more dis erect not to say certain things. After the meeting he is said to have handed the typewriter statement to a news paper man, who published it.

THE STRIKERS STATEMENT.
Assures Pa5lic That Settlement is Not
 Impossible Yet

Impossible Yet.
 The strikers executive committee is- sued the following statement this af- ternoon:
 'Twentylseven weeks ago tonight the strike was declared. For 1S9 days we have wrestled with the Connecti- cut Railway and Lighting Go in a le- gitimate struggle for decent living wages and decent treatment as men. And to-day we are standing firm with a record that is the marvel of the country. Never has a strike been bet ter conducted and never have eighty men been firmer. The few weak minded chaps that deserted the ranks are more to be pitied than censured, for they are known now from Maine to California and never will be held in the esteem that will be commanded by the fellows who stuck to their posts to the end.
 'sThe company has been very fortun- ate so far in avoiding suits for dam ages on account of the numerous acc1- dents that have been happening with such thrilling regularity. We under stand. however, that a suit is now in the works as a result of the taii-end collision on North Main street last Sun day, when three or four passengers were shaken up pretty well. There may be another suit from the accident which occurred yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock on South Main street. As result of the car starting before she got off, a lady passenger was thrown into the street and hurt so badly that she had to be carried into a fruit store and cared for. Strange to say, the conductor stopped long enough to get facts for his report.
 Another effort to attempt to fool the public into believing that the peo- ple are stepping on each others corns to ride on the cars was reported to us by a colored friend this morning. He said the colored people were to have picrlic at Boulder Grove and that the company tendered free conveyances to and from the picnic.' The rain, however, interfered with tnis scheme Free tickets are also being peddled with the usual liberality. But the public still walks and the company will have to keep changing its tactics.
 Although nothing definite can be stated at this time, we can assure the public that the settlement of the strike is not impossible yet, as there are two or three things in the wind which may result satisfactorily in a very short time"
