OPIUM UNDER THE CUSHIONS.
The Maine Man Who Played This
Trick Fined S25oo.

Boston, June 5-In the United States
circuit court, this afternoon, David Wilbur
Wood of Lubec Me-, was fined $2500 and
costs for smuggling opium into the United
States. Wood was arrested several months
ago. charged with being in conspiracy with a
Pell street firm of Chinese merchants in New
York. supposed to be carrying extensive
smuggling operations In opium. After
WOODS arrest, he wasstaken to New York
and testified for the government in the case
brought against Lee Yu Pine and others.
This fact was referred to by Lawyer Hall,
his counsel, this forenoon when the court
was asked TO impose fine without imprison-
ment. AS Wood had given evidence for the
government, District Attorney Allen was not
desirous that severe sentence be imposed,
and comparatively light one was given.
Woods method of smuggling opium into the
United States, 1t Is alleged. was to enter a
train In Canada when the car was empty and
secrete under the cushions of seat two
thin, fiat boxes, made for the purpose, con-
tanning opium. He would leave the seat,
take another in a remote part of the car, and
allow the custems authorities to Investigate
as much as they liked. When the car reached
Boston, he would wait till all the passengers
had gone and take the boxes out. This was
never discovered bV the customs officers

of the veto passed by the General Assembly

the directors the veto was an usurpation OF
powers never given or intended to be given

illegal the appointment stands and ID. Briggs
