AMERICAN SHOES IN FRANCE.
Aspersions Cast Upon Them by the
Shopkeepers

Discrimination against manufactures of
the United States is alleged by Consular
Agent King at Lille, France. in a report
to the State Department. 1T is not praise
worthy or fiattering to American articles in
general and to American-made shoes in
particular says Mr.. King, for pur-
chaser of the latter to notice in shoe stores
cardboard signs drawing attention TO
stock of footwear on hand and at the same
time warning against purchase, owing to
the mpossbility of the seller to 'guaran-
tee the American-made shoe. On demand
ing the reasons for this the interested and
eager buyer is informed that that class of
articles are faulty and let in water, and
that, moreover, in the case of reclamations
the American firm will not reimburse the
seller. shoe initiating the American Is
then handed the customer for his consider
alton and purchase. 1t may be possible
that such relations already exist between
manufacturers and job-lot buyers. but at
all events manufacturers selling goods in
regular job lots should insert clauses
whereby foreign buyers would be forbidden
to bill post their stores with indications

WILL BE REINSPECTED
ANOTHER rxAnrrAr1oF q NEW
YORK STEAMBOATS,.
It is Declared That the Public Welfare
is Paramount and That the
l.
Order Must Be 0beyed.

The last important act of tie 'admihistra-
ton of Secretary Cortelyou of the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor was to issue
an order for the reinspection Of every
steamboat in the harbor of New York.
This action was taken becaute of the hor-
rible accident to the General Slocum, by
which a thousand human lives were lost
by fire and drowning. and the Department
of Commerce and Labor has taken up the
matter Of investigation. with the intention
of ascertaining just who was responsible
for the alleged dereliction of duty, and OF
Furnishing the guilty parties
The reinspection begins tomorrow, and
will be more thorough than any that have
preceded 1t, II that be possible. Not a
loophole will be left for the companies op-
Grating steamboats, in the harbor to escape
the watchful eyes Of the government In
spectors, and 1t is safe to assume that these
officials with the SlOcum disaster fresh in
their minds, will overlook nothing In their
work.
George Uhier, inspector general OF the
steamboat inspection service, attached to
the Department of Commerce and Labor
will have personal supervision of this REIN
spection and his reputation for care in his
profession guarantees complete work. The
department means the order to be obeyed
to the fullest degree, and there will be little
regard for the man who should chance to
overlook his duty.
There has been some question among the
New York inspectors regarding the right
within the law, of the Secretary Of the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor to order
a reinspection, some of the inspectors hav-
ing been quoted as saying that such inspec-
ton could not be ordered save by the board
of supervising inspectors. Answer has been
made to this by former Secretary Cortel-
you that the public need was paramount 10
the existing law, which was never intended
to blockade efficient work. and that the or
der would have to be obeyed or there would
have to be an accounting to the depart
ment by the man who refused to comply
and do his duty as ordered by the Secre-
tar

ASSIGNMENTS BY ASSESSOR.
Changes in Personnel of Board Of As
sistant Assessors.

District Assessor Hopewell H. Darneille
has made his assignments of work for the
members Of the board of assistant asses
sors necesstated by reason of changes in
the personnel of the board
Messrs. E. w. w. Griffin, Matthew Trim
BILE and Samuel T. kalbfus will constitute
the permanent board of assessors and the
excise board. and Alexander Mckenzie
and Francis Nye will constitute the per-
sonal tax appraisers. The assignments be-
come effective July 5.
In announcing these assignments Mr.
Darneille makes the following comment rel
ative to the work of Mr.. Mckenzie and Mr..
Kalbfus:
Il cannot make these assignments with
| out expressing my admiration of the splen-
did qualities displayed by Mr. Mckenzie
board of assistant assessors of real estate
and the excise board. His work on both
boards was performed to my entire satisfac-
ton and with great credit to himself
Mr.. kalbfus has had eighteen years ex-
perience on the assessment books of real
estate, the greater part of which was spent
on county property. which is now under
going careful revision. While he should
be, and Is, an expert on real estate values,
he has had absolutely no experience in per-
sonal tax matters, and his eighteen years
work would go for naught as a member of
the board of personal tax appraisers
Mr. Mckenzie. however has made a
study OF personal tax laws and has rea d
all the leading text books on taxation to-
gether with the important decisions by the
Supreme Court and the superior courts of
the great commemorative He has investi-
gated and studied the personal tax systems
of the various large municipalities He is
an excellent judge of the values of paint
ings. engraVings, tapestries and oriental
rugs, an expert accountant, and is familiar
with the values of machinery merchants
stock and personal property of all kinds.
Personal tax laws are always more or less
obnoxious to taxpayers, and many difficult
ties have arisen and been surmounted in
putting the present law into execution
Il feel, therefore, that permanent trans
fer of Mr. Mckenzie from the board of per-
sonal tax appraisers SO soon after the en-
actment or the law, and alta time when
about TO be put into operation would not
