govern ment officials claim to have clear

part Of the cargo Of coolies which the
Volgs 10 charged with bringing TO Oyster
bay. One of them claimed 10 have worked
at Kamilchie in a logging camp But IL
that were true. the government officials
deem IL strange he did not know
In what manner trees were felled
or how they were hauled TO ths
mill. The court understood that
none OF his companions were acquainted
with Kamilchie. and therefore he could
not have learned what little he did know
about the place II he had not really bssn
there. But the officials call attention %
the fact that one Of the party had lived a
kamilchie and could have posted all con.
cerned. This Chinaman. who 10 said to
have assisted the others, Was one Of the
three dismissed. He has been rsarrcsfsd
and will be charged with aiding In the
smuggling Of Cinnamon into the country.
