I SHl'Nl
Indignation was freely expressed by
Federal customsmen this morning ov.
or the stupid and malicious attempt
upon the part of morning paper to
establish the blame for the mislaying
of DR.. and Mrs. Smiths steamship
tickets to that department.
The statement is made that the
Smiths Pacific Mail transportation tOI
the Orient was available to the inter.
ested parties upon application to theI
Collector of Customs. While It Is adj.
mitted that the Federal regulations
require the deposit of steamship tick
cts belonging to passengers enteringl
] this port In foreign vessels and re.
ceipts for the same are issued, In the
case Of DIR. and Mrs. Smith there was
not the slightest difficulty had they
sought the proper source for the trans
pOrtation.
The customs officers characterize al
tale in which carelessness Ii alleged
as emanating from an irresponsible
source.
