REFORM HARSH CUSTOMS RULES.
Treasury officials Decide to End HUI
initiation Of Travellers.

Washington.-New customs inspec-
ton regulations, calculated to be a
boon to returning American tourists,
are being framed by direction of Sec
retary of the Treasury Cortelyou. It
is hoped to have the plan in opera
ton August is.
There is to be no elimination of the
requirement for the inspection of bag
gage, but the new rules will abro-
gate the oath that now precedes the
formal inspection, and which puts
the honest citizen in the position OF
a suspected perjurer until his word
is proved true. 1t has been COM
planned that this is an unnecessary
and unjustifiable humiliation. An
other reform will do away with the
general penning up of all the snug
glers, would-be smugglers and hon
est citizens before cynical customs Of
ficials.
