sMUGGLING NOR PROFITABLE.
Congress Killed the Traffic by Keep
Ing Down the Duty.


The recent importation of opium at
San Francisco: the first in many months,
aroused considerable interest in that city
and on Puget sound, and revived talk
among the initiated regarding the opera

San Francisco 10 Victoria. The ring had
an Alaska annex. 1t is said by a man sup
posed to be conversant with the facts.
This party is authority for the state

assured the committee it would be I'M
profitable to smuggle the stuff.
The fact that only three OF the seven
opium refineries in Victoria. Vancouver
and New Westminster are In operation is
taken as evidence that the business Is no
longer profitable. and IL is believed by
persons familiar with the business that a

FATAL FALL FROM 4 BR|DGE.
Peter Simons, a Bridge Carpen-
ter, Killed While at Work.
THE ACCIDENT A MYSTERY.
Simons Was Assisting In the Repair
of the County Bridge Near Kent
Missed by Two Fellow Workmen.
Who Were Near By. They Searched
for Him, Only to Find Him Dying
ON the Ground Thirty Feet Below.

Peter Simons, q carpenter. who is well
known all over the Sound country, fell
from a bridge near Kent yesterday after
noon at 40 o'clock and was killed. His
remains were brought TO Seattle last even
ing over the Northern Pacific railroad
and taken 10 Bonney & Stewards under
taking rooms.
Simons was working for Bailey & Cross.
who have a contract with the county to
lower the bridge across White river about
a mile from Kent. The plankins had been
removed from the bridge, leaving only the
stringers, which are three feet apart. On
top of the stringers, near one end of the
bridge, was the pile driver. Simons was
standing at the south side of the driver
with Cross opposite him on he north
side. and man named Shay between
them, lacking up the driver so that a
timber could be placed under it. To the
ground below IL was fully thirty feet
Suddenly Cross heard sound as If
something had struck the ground. He
looked around the driver and saw that
Simons had disappeared. Cross imme-
diately ran down below and found Simons
stretched out AT the side Of timber, face
down, blood running from his mouth ard
nose and wound on his head.
When raised up the stricken man simply
gasped. He could not speak. Cross
started out on the run for Kent and on
the way told several people 10 hurry TO
the bridge as Simons had fallen. A ply
stefan FASTENED TO the scene OF the acci-
dent as soon as possible, but Simons was
dead. His remains were placed on the
first train and brought 10 Seattle. In
speaking of the accident last night Cross
said: lit is one Of the strangest things
have ever met in bridge building. There
was absolutely no reason why he should
have fallen unless he was taken with a
fit of dizziness. He was not doing any
thing as We were waiting for Shay to
raise the driver up so that We could put a
timber under it. Simons was an old hand
at bridge carpentering and has done con-
siderable contract work, so he was GER
tainly capable of caring for himself.
was on the opposite side of the driver and
had my back turned TO him when he fell.
Therefore it is impossible for me to tell
how ne happened to fall Shay was also
in such position that he did not see the
accident. 1t is my opinion that his death
was due to a wound on his head where
he probably struck the timber that lay
on the ground"
Mr. Sirnons' death will occasion great
surprise because he was we'll known in
almost every town on Puget sound. where
he has lived for the past twelve years.
He was single man and came from some
town in Wisconsin.
