Made Careful Search.

A careful search of Lee Wings place Of
business was made, and everything the
officers thought might be used as testi-
mony was taken. This paraphernalia In
Guided the several pipes, some of them
silver plated, the cans of opium, needles,
scales and many other things.
1t is charged in the warrant that Lee
Wing is guilty of fraud upon the revenue
of the United States, charging that he
has been engaged in the illicit manu-
facture and storage of opium, upon which
the internal revenue tax had not been
paid as required.
Under the provisions Of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law, it is stated. opium is
not permitted to be brought into this
country except for medicinal purposes.
1t is the claim of the officers that some
boxes taken from Lee Wings place had
been refilled and the payment Of the tax
evaded.
Opium for smoking purposes. 1t is said,
is not permitted to be brought into this
country. and the authorities believe that
the Cinnamon have been getting their
supplies from a wholesale drug house not
in this city.
The offense charged against Wing is one
which, upon conviction, carries a peniten-
tiary sentence.
Early this morning bond in the sum of
$500 was offered by the imprisoned
Chinaman and was accepted by the au-
thorities, and his release followed.

was not much assistance forthcoming,
however. and only the two instances of
violence occurred. In neither instance
was any serious injury inflicted, but. the
officers said, 1t brought the Cinnamon to
their senses.
While some of the officers were in a
room on an upper floor at No. 31S they
found a small can containing opium
enough for three smokes. they said, and
one Chinaman admitted what it was. An
other became insolent when questioned
and he was one of the two who felt the
force of slight blows.
At No. 346 the building in which Lee
Ying conducted a cigar store, there was
more evidence of something doing than
there was in the other buildings. One
Chinaman was pursued through the hall
by an officer. but he managed to get be-
hind a barred door and then disappeared
without being caught.

Gradual Elimination Likely.

Commissioner Rudolph last night said
the District heads do not contemplate
wiping out existing billboards. The
action Of the Commissioners. he said.
was taken only with the object Of pre-
venting any increase in the present
supply of billboards scattered about
the city.
In view Of the fact, however, that the
commissioners have placed a ban on ad-
ditional billboards being erected and have
announced that the boards now erected
may be used only until their removal is
desired. the opinion generally held is that
the Commissioners will carry out a policy
of gradually eliminating existing poster
displayers.
The police concur in this view. Objec-
tionable pictures frequently are displayed
on billboards. it is said, although the
censorship of recent years has improved
the character of such displays.
The Commissioners. 1t is understood,
are convinced the city should not be dis
figured by bill boards. but are inclined
to adopt process of gradual elimina-
ton rather than pursue drastic measures
in completely doing away with them
through the PRONUNCIATION of a single
order.

State and national banks would be ex-
pected to subscribe for stock In the ma

20 per cent Of its own capital stock. This

Practically nothing is said Of the ex-
ten, to which the federal government
could or would control this massive ma

While it would in reality be a great
bank, with the federal government as its
main depositor, the banks as stockhold-
ers and the banks as it's customers, those
back Of 1t prefer to characterize 1t as a
machine controlled by the banks
rather than a bank, because they are
avowediy against the idea Of a cent al
bank, such as the Bank Of England.
They are also against the Aldrich bank
ing scheme, which they say would prove
Ineffective.
It's business would consist in lending
money to the banks Of the country on
short-term commercial paper. 1t would
be permitted to do a foreign exchange

power to place a weekly tax on any

The board makes no recommends

of the schedule, the boards experts
report the majority OF the rates OF
duty prohibitory and condemns the
system of levying them.
The report points the way to two
great changes in the present system
of levying duties upon raw wool ana
finished cloth. 1t would assess duty
on scrubbed wool--not wool grease
combined; and suggests graduated
scale of ad valorem rates on cloth.
