WILLIAMS AGAIN.
New Charges Against the
Inspector.
A Crooked Case In Which Maurice
Schmitt Appeared-The Collect
or's Pointed Remarks.

Customs Inspector Williams, who was
acquitted last Saturday on a charge of at
tempting to blacsmail Chinese seeking the
right to land, will be tried on similar
charge by Collector Wise this afternoon.
1t is alleged that in three recent instances
he went to friends Of Chinese who claimed
the right TO land and offered to report the
cases favorably to the Collector if he was
paid $3.50 for each. The charges emauate
from the office of RiordaD, the attorney
for the Chinese, who says they are based
upon statements made by reputable Mon
golians.
The Collect or does not believe that his
assistant is corrupt, and positively declares
that Williams generally reports adversely
to the landing of Chinese, and by so doing
has aroused the i'll will of Riordan and
others.
'RioTdan admitted in my presence to-
day." said the Collector yesterday after
noon, that Williams was running his
business. | believe ne would give half his
fortune if ] would fire Williams, but he
shall have fair trial. and if he has been
guilty of accepting OF asking brides he
must go. for l will not have a dishonest
man around me-"
One of the cases in which Williams is
alleged to have played dishonest part is
that of the Chinese woman who arrived
abont two weeks, claiming to be the wife
of Lee Fook, a prominent merchant.
Maurice Schmiti, the politician, and others
swore that she was Lee Fook's wife, but
the Collector learned that she was the
wife OF Lee Book JOng. keeper of a large
house of i'll fame, and Lee Book Jong
himself confessed that such was the case.
Another Chinese woman, who asserted
that she was the wife of Chuck Shee, a

Collector landed the former and refused
to land the latter. The Chinese ring at

WANTING A CLEW
Articles Found on Samuel
j. Thomas.
The Police Convinced He Committed
the Burglaries on Mob Hill

Time does not tend to lessen the conviction
of Detectives Coffey and Gibson that Samuel j.
Thomas. the young coiored man who Is now in
the city prison on the charge OF vagrancy, CON-
mitted the numerous burgaries which have
terrorzed the residents of Mob Hill.
Unfortunately. although two or three OF the
victims believe that Thomas was the man they
saw. they will not commit themselves by posi-
tive assertion to that effect. The detectives are
not without hope that something may yet turn
UP to lead 10 his identification.
When searched at the city prison the detec-
tives found the following articles in Thomas
pockets: smal-link gold chain, silver
pencil, ps-eye stud, bangle belonging TO a
glove buitoner, wit the letter E on the one side
and Xmas on the other side. They think
these articles belong to persons whose houses
have been entered by Thomas and they would
