The first man caught smuggling
opium into the United States since the
operation of the restrictive law was
arrested on streetcar and placed in
the city prison last evening by Joseph
Head and William Harrigan, custom in
spectors. Eight tins of opium. valued
before the passage of the prohibitive
less. were found in the possession OF
the smuggler, who is Joseph Alexander,
saloon keeper at Second and Berry
street, near the mail dock.
To Head belongs the credit of the
arrest. He was leaving the water front
last evening when he saw Alexander,
whom he had suspected of being a
smuggler leaving the vicinity of the
mail dock with suspicious looking
package under his arm. Head prompt
ly followed the man and saw him get
on Third and Kearny street car.
bound for Chinatown. The inspector
took. a seat by the smuggler and en-
gagged him in conversation.
At Market street Head induced Alex
ander to leave the car and go to the
ferry with him. Head took possession
of the package before Alexander could
make away with it. At the ferry In
spector Harrigan Joined Head, and the
two conducted their prisoner to the
Eddy street jail This morning he will
be turned over to the United States
marshal.
April the law went into effect which
prohibits the Importation of opium into
this country and the smugglers have
made use OF every cunning device they
can invent to Introduce the drug 1t is
thought that the tins found in Alex
anders possession came from the
