PORTLAND SMUGGLING CASE.
The Trial of Er- Collector of Customs
LOtan and Setd Back BeGins.

L0fan and Seid Back Begins.
PORTLAND, Or, May 21.-The third
trial of James Lotan, ex-Collector of Gus
toms, and Seid Back, wealthy Chinese
merchant, for conspiracy to smuggle
Chinese into this port, began in the United
States District Court to-day. At the
former trial two years ago the jury dis
agreed. Nathan Blum, who ,has confessed
that he was the leader of gigantic con-
spiracy to smuggle opium and Chinese
from British Columbia, is here to testify
for the prosecution, having arrived from
San Francisco last night.
At the former trial Blum testified that
his gang had smuggled into this port dur
ing the previous year about nine tons of
opium, thus defrauding the Government
out of nearly $500, 900 in duty on the drug
William Dunbar, a partner of Blum and
owner of the steamship Hayt Republic,
was convicted and sentenced to two years
imprisonment in Jail and to pay heavy
fine. Pending an appeal to the United
States Supreme Court, he was admitted to
bail.
Before the Supreme Court handed down
its decision which confirmed the decree
of the lower court Dunbar went to China,
where he is. now sojourning, and it is
hardly probable that he will return to
serve his sentence and answer to the addi-
tional indictments against him.
@. J. Mulkey, ex-special agent of the
Treasury, already convicted of conspiracy
to smuggle, will also be tried on the addi-
tional indictments. 1t is probable that a
number of others now under indictments
for the same offense will be tried before
the adjournment of court.
