SMUGGLING BY WHOLESALE
Charges of Coiiusion hy Customs Of
Gcers Cause "a Stir at Townsend
SANDERS Courfe Inuuiry.

PORT TOWNSEND. Wash. Aug So
Business and social circles ~ this place
were shaken from stem TO stern today on
the arrival Of the Tacoma Ledger con-
tanning sensational exposure OF alleged
srookedness on the part OF customs Of
aeials here. The article in the Ledger pur-
ported 10 have been sent from here as a
special, but in reality was a written inter
view with special treasury agent and
Chinese inspector. The Ledger says IL is
probable that warrants will be issued by
the United States authorities within few
days for the arrest Of several persons in
the Puget sound customs district fer COM
plleity in the Illegal landing Of Chinese in
the United States. II IS also probable that
s drag-net which has been put in opera
ton BY the government will bring within
its tangiements persons OF prominence
in political and social life in other parts
of the state.
For several months it has been matter
of more or less publicity that an unUsu-
ally large number OF Chinese have been
passed into the United States through this
port. Investigation by government OF
fIcials. 1t is said. shows that there has
been not only wholesale smuggling OF Chi
nese. but a large amount of raband
goods of various kinds has been brought
into the United States through this port.
TX is estimated that more than 200
Cinnamon have entered this port within
the past six months. Nearly all the chi
nese who desire 10 enter the United States
describe their occupation as merchants.
but IL is weli-known fact that less than
II per cent. of the total number who enter
are engaged IN legitimate mercantile pur-
suits. Collector Saunders accounts for the.
large number of entries at this port dur
ing the past two years by the fact that the
Canadian Pacific railroad, which formerly
had line from Vancouver 10 Portland,
has discontinued il and now lands its pas
sengers at Victoria. A large number or
Chinese passengers who formerly went 10
Portland now come direct to Port Towns
end by vessel from Victoria, and from this
point scatter to their various destinations.
When shown the above dispatch today,
Collector Saunders denounced ii as villain
Gus. sIanderous and a Matchmaking
scheme. He says the charges are made
for the purpose of revenge. and to curry
favor with the new administration ne
courts investigation of the charges pre-
ferred against him. and says ne Is not
afraid TO have the Y rays turned on his
official history and record.

Central Company MAY Move.

T.. J. Keck manager of the Central Cycle
Company, said yesterday that the talk
about the companys factory being moved
away from this city was true. For month
past the trade journals have contained little
items to the effect that the Ben-Hur fac
tory was not large enough for the business,
and that the company was considering
propositions from outside points. Mr.. Keck
says the company has outgrown its present
plant, and will have TO move unless the
owner of the ground and buildings would
erect more suitable buildings. He says
the company has received a hundred prop
ositions from towns and cities. One is
from Oldenburg, n. Y, which offers free
building and grounds and free power. The
most hattering is from Montpelier, Ind,
which offers buildings, ground and gas.
Albany, Ind, which has the big bicycle
tubing mills is also after the plant.
Mr.. Keck says that the members of the
company do not want to move. They are
established here and have made their rep
utation here They are not willing how
ever, to enlarge the capital stock by taking
in more members, and need all their money
to increase their business. Although they
own a suitable piece of ground at the corner
of Alabama and Louisiana streets they do
not feel that they can spare the money to
erect necessary buildings This being the
case, they will perhaps favor a removal
from the city unless some arrangement can
be made here for new buildings.
