EIGHTEEN UNDER ARREST
Capture OF Long-SOught Yacht
Reveals Gigantic Conspiracy
Canada Ii a Way Station For

Providence, Oct. 11.-Eighteer
| Cinnamon arrested after the capture by
| the United States immigration author
ties of the schooner yacht Frolic, fol
which revenue cutters have been
searching along the New England coast
for the last two weeks, were arraigned
last evening before United States Com
missioner Cross and were held for eX-
animation next Wednesday. Bail was
fixed at $1,000 in each case.
All the arrested men pleaded not
guilty, and declared through an inter.
prefer that they had been in the United
States before, but that their certificates
of residence had been lost, some in
New York city and others in the fire
in San Francisco. This declaration
contradicted statement alleged to
have been made by John G. Lehneman
of Boston, one of the men arrested for
completely in the smuggling opera
tions, that the Cinnamon brought by
the Frolic from Canada came to that
country direct from China.
Edward Junkins of Boston and Will
lam A. Duncan of Somerville, Mass,
who were arrested as members of the
crew of the Frolic, and Lehneman, who
was captured on shore, where he is said
to have been engag ed in an effort to dis
pose of the struggled Cinnamon, were
not arraigned.
Twenty-four of the Chinese passen-
gers of the Frolic are believed to be
in hiding in the Chinese quarter of this
city, and immigration inspectors have
been making a search of the quarter,
A gigantic conspiracy, engineered by
an organized gang, among them two
Boston men of some prominence TO
smuggle Cinnamon into the United
States, is revealed in the capture of the
Frolic. When asked how the SNUG
plers had succeeded in so long evading
the officials, Lehneman said: "Ihats
easy. Most places in New England are
fixed, and we don't have any trouble.
"Why, a ship went into Boston har-
Dor not very long ago and landed q
Cinnamon" said Lehneman. The
man who had charge of the Boston end
of the game met the Cinnamon, put
them on board a street car and took
them across the city to Chinatown"
Painted black and rugged up to re-
semble a fisherman, the 50-foot vessel
with AZ Cinnamon packed aboard
which the captain wished to land in this
country, ran into the Providence river.
All of the human freight was landed
and but for an accidental discovery of
10 of the Cinnamon in a party they
would have escaped. The police are
looking for Captain Colby.
