ORGANIZED RING ATTEMPTS TO
EvADE OPIUM LAW
Headquarters Of Alleged smugeIers Is
In China With Agents Through
out the United States.

San Francisco May 6.--DetailS of a
plot to outwit tho federal officials OF
this port. and to evade the new statute
which forbids the importation of opium
into this country, have come to the
the knowledge of the local surveyor.
As the result, more elaborate prccau-
tions have been taken against snug
Cling than have been used here in
years. Under the cover of the gen.
eral impression that there would be
no attempts made to smuggle opium
into this country as long as the pres
ont bountiful supply of the drug held
out. we'll organized and generously
financed ring, according to the GUS
toms officials, was formed with agents
In San Francisco and the Orient to
conduct an Illicit trade in the CONTRA
band
The first intmation of the conspir-
acy to evade the new law was con-
veyed to Surveyor of the Port Edward
F. Woodward, oy the regular opium
dealers of San Francisco, who feared
that the dumping OF mass OF con-
traband on the market would reduce
their present enormous profits. A
number of plain clothes men and spec
ial surveyors have been placed at work
on the case, but how far their inves-
tigations have led them can only be
surmised at the present time. 1t is
generally admitted, however, that the
Headquarters OF the alleged ring is in
China with agents throughout the
United States.
