CLOSE WATCH ON

San Francisco, Dec. 17.-Recent dis

under watch as soon as they enter
the harbor The customs officers are
to be sent out to meet each arriving
vessel at the Golden Gate,
Hitherto Il has been the practice
to allow the boats to come TO an an

spectors aboard, and. in case of q
vessel arriving at night. to leave her

smuggling has been carried on by
