New York, Feb. "A nation wide
war on the illicit opium traffic is now
in progress and the Federal authori-
ties are using every effort to put the
ringleaders, most of them Chinese
behind the bars. The capture of Cha
ley Boston correct name Lee Quon q

be most important achievement
Boston is believed by the police and
the customs authorities to be the
leader and brains of syndicate OF
Chinese smugglers Of opium who
have brought large suantities of the
drug into this country and isbributed
it from headquarters in this city
He was arrested the other night in
Chinatown by United States Marshal
William Henkel and Deputy Mars hal
Henri Cunningham. Collector VIII
liam Loeb, Jr., has gathered much Of
the evidence on which the officers
are basing their operations. Boston
was arrested within few doors of
the headsuarters Of the On Leon
Tong, OF which he has been an active
member. He was hurried out of Mott
street and to the tombs so quickly
that he was in cell before his
friends in Chinatown knew of his
arrest. Charley Boston's capture was
made on warrant issued by United
States Commissioner Shields charg-
ing him with smuggling opium, The
warrant was issued after the raids OF
few days ago on two Chinese shOps
in Seventh avenue by customs men
who found not only evidence that
opium and not tea was the com
modify dealt in by the proprietors
but also data in the shape OF letters,
account books and private memor
anda which showed that Charley
Boston had more than bowling ac-
quaintance with the police of many
cities and that he knew the purpose
of graft" and how to apply it to
his ends.
