An Old Smuggling Game Broken Up After
Thirteen Years. Successful Operation.

From the Boston Herald, March 70.
Some three months ago one OF tho officers at
tached TO the Boston custom House made small
seizure OF sDuggled gooas IN this city, and In the
course OF his invest gations into the matter pre-

that tire In hand was only small item In con-
nection with O somewhat extended and systematic
plan Of smuggling operations. Acting upon the DIT
Of vague Information In his possession. nc and
discovered that the headquarters OF the opera
tors were at Easrport Me- Tne articles
thus lrauduently imported were hake sounds,
from winch tslngass Is manufactured,
and cod liver oil. Three large firms were impll-
Gated IN the affair, one or them doing business IN
Boston. The manner OF proceeding was to send
an agent to PASSPORT, and when fishing vessel
| came into port from Provincial waters, with the
ucsneu merchandise on board, he would enter one,
wv vi .nree packages at the Custom House, and,
unuer cover OF the permit thus obtained, land

tnirty pacxages as the case might be. The

teen years, but as the law only covers cases
within the five years last past before de,eciion
the legal investigation was confined to mis- neytod
and 1t was found that during That time the Tosion
frm mad smugged IN goods TO the amount or over
nine thousand dollars, most or which was col liver
OIL and another hrm had succeeded In deiraudina
the government out OF duties upon $4,000 worth OF
goods. These goods were shipped from Etstport to
| Boston on the International line OF steamers The
reason for the systematzed fraud is the competition
between the only three hake SOUND factories In the
country, all Of which are located IN Massachusetts.
One OF the parties the Boston firm, has settled with
the government, and the others VIII probably do so.
