Eight U. S. Inspectors in

Po.tatoes Investigated

Eight inspectors Of tho searching
squad of Surveyor Whittle swooped
down upon the Red Star liner Lap and,
in last night from Antwerp, and ran
sacked the purser's office, the ships
strong box and safe, the quarters of
Captain John Bradshaw and the rooms
of every officer of Importance ON the
ship.
The suddeness Of the search, which
started just as the passengers we're
'disembarking, surprised and angered
the ships officers and the representa-
tives of the Red Star Line who were
aboard
The customs raiders were led bv In
spector Albert Hokensen, regarded as
one of the cleverest searching men OF
the surveyors staff, an official who has
found and seized more opium, cocaine
and liquor than any other inspector in
the service.
After the raid the ships officers said
they had no complaint against the
method Of Hokensen's search, but they
did protest against the search itself,
a ransacking which they claim was not
alone unlawful, but useless and produc.
tive of nothing.
When Kokensen was going through
the ships safe Captain Henry Lewis,
marine superintendent of the Red Star
Line, went into the pursers Office and
protested
"By what right" he said to Hoken-
New-York tribune., 1921-10-23

sen, "do you go through the ships
| safe p
1.-THE right of the United States GUS
toms service to search any and all
ships that come to this port" replied
Hokensen.
II question thnt right" replied Cap
tain Lewis warmly. "This is a British
merchantmen flying the British flag,
and you have no right to go into the safe
of this Office without Federal search
warrant" At this moment Hokensen
was lingering n small leather case. "You
have in your hand now the ships pri-
vate papers" continued Captain Lewis.
What right have you to ransack those
papers,"
II have the right to search them"
responded Hokensen, "and you may see
for yourself l am not molesting them"
While Hokensen and one OF his men
were peering with flash lights into the
drawers and files of the purser's Office
two other inspectors had j. Van
Damme, the chief steward, shut up in
his room, turning his personal effects
topsy turvy In search Of something, Just
what the inspectors declined to say.
Much time was given to an examina-
ton of quantity Of sample potatoes.
Flash lights were turned upon each
anu every potato 60 see II IL mao Decn
cut or if it had abrasions into which
precious stones or other substances
might have been pressed.
After search lasting nearly two
hours nothing was found except a.
child's small mesh purse made of Ger
man silver, worth about 81, and two
British made neckties, valued at the
same figure.
Joseph Caporin, the purser, a Bel
gian who has been with the Red Star
Line for many years, said he was salts
fied with the search because the Gus
toms men did not rip open partitions or
break cabinets and lockers.
The rooms searched besides those Of
Caporin, Captain Bradshaw and Van
Damme were those of DR.. Fernand
Basecq, the ships surgeon; his assist
ant, DR.. J. H. Apers; M. F. Howell, the
assistant purser, and o. H. Monks, the
chief engineer.
Officials of the Red Star Line said
last night that they would protest
against such interference and test the
right of search without Federal war
rant. They said that the summary
closing of the purser's office, whore all
the business of the ship is transacted,
interfered with the convenience of pas
sengers who were waiting for mail and
kilograms left for them in the purser's
care.

new lease of life for them. They
have been blamed for high rates
when a large share of the money
they collect has had to be turned
over to the government The pur-
chasers of transportation do not al
ways stop to compute the amount
of the tax as compared with the
fate charged by the railroads. Re-
duction in tax means a cut in the
total and the railroads would be
glad to see the whole tax repealed
and would advocate it if it were not
for the fact that they are asking the
government for so much financial
help.
May Be Changed.
Secretary Melons tax proposals
may be radically changed by the
Republican ways and means COM
mittee and still further altered when
they reach the senate but the vital
thing to remember is that a start
has been made. Out of all the talk
about tax revision has come at last
a series of concrete suggestions
from an authoritative quarter. Not
only do they represent the views of
President Harding and Secretary
Mellon but they reflect the opinions
of a large number of experts who
had before them data as to the sums
raised by all sorts of taxes in the |
past. The big advantage which Mr.. |
Mellon has over others is that the |
treasury experts assure him abso- |
lutely that his program will raise |
the money needed. Anybody with a |
new scheme or with suggestion to |
tighten the burden here or make it /
heavier there must be ready to
prove absolutely that the change !
will assure the government of its |
four and aShalf billion dollars.

THE
u. S. NOBBY TREAD

Where the going is specially heavy
with snow, mud or sand, in billy
country where maximum traction on
the road is factor, no other tire tread
yet devised is quite SO effective, or so
wholly approved by motoring opin-
ion, as the U. S. Nobby Tread.
Its very implicity-three rows of
diagonal knobs, gripping the road
is the result of all the years of U. S.
Rubber experience with every type
of road the world over.

unkept. Trouble on the road-hu-
morous to every one except the

Finally u. S. Tires. And u. S.

Perhaps it's the experience of U. S.

THE POSITIVE MESSAGE.
BY e. w. GILES,


One of the first lessons of life is
that of avoiding personalities. There
is way of knocking sin without in
dulging in personalities, and we
should be so wise as to find out how
it is done, and practice it in our
lives and efforts =. ..
There are always two ways of get
ting at things, the positive and the
negative, the constructive and the
destructive. .
At least nine-tenths of our efforts
should be of positive, constructive,
upbuilding, sou-lfeeding nature.
To put the thought the other way,
not more than one-tenth of our eff
forts should be Of negative or de-
upbuilding, soul-feeding nature.
As far as you have opportunity, l

about you on Gods Holy Word, the
