■ 53FW aIT - NEVADA K. STRANAHAN. misrepresentations by the company In its advertisements of the positions held by them under the government, and says he expects these reports to be ready for Collector Stranahan today Mr Armstrong has made it plain that Messrs Thompson and Eaton will be required to give up their connection with the company if they expect to remain in the customs service. and that if their positions were misrepresented with their consent and approval, they will be liable to removal from office.
