HOEY DENIES CHARGES.
CUSTOMS COLLECTOR AT NoGALEs SAYS HE
rs NOT IMPLICATED IN SMUGGLING
CHINAMEN.

Phoenix. Ariz, Aug. 25-wiIliam NJ. Hoey.
Collector of Customs at Nogales started for that
place tonight on a call from Mclean Lenoore,
special assistant to Attorney-General Knox 1t
is understood that Lemoore holds warrants for
the arrest of Hoey and b. T. Jossey, Chinese IN
spector charged with smuggling of Chinese
from Mexico into the United States. He'was ac-
companied by T. d. Bennett, Assistant United
States District Attorney When he saw the
Washington dispatch stating that a big con-
spiracy for smuggling of Chinese. in which he
and Jossey are implicated. had been unearthed'
Hoey declared that there was no truth in the
charges.
Il have not been arrested, and do not beleVe
will be-" said he. mo smuggling has been done
through Nogales during my term. More emma
men have been deported from my district than
any other with one exception.
The implication of Hoey caused a big sensa-
ton. II has long been known that Secret ser
vice officials were laboring TO stop the smuggling
of Cinnamon, but with little success several
Chinamen have been captured and deported, but
many more, and many Chinese girls have been
brought across the border. There has been no
public opinion that the customs officials were
implicated.
