sMUGGLER MAKES USE OF LAUN.
DRYMAN TO MOVE CIGARS.

New Orleans, March 1.-The laun-
dryman, as an innocent agent. play
ed q leading role in an attempt to
smuggle eight boxes of cigars past
the customs officers yesterday, but
1.-The vigilance Of a government in
lspector spoiled the little game, and
now Max Oswald, cook on the Ger
man steamship Brisgavia, is behind
prison bars, while search is being
made for the man who, according to
Oswald, is really in fault. 1t was one
LOT the most original schemes to evade
tht customs laws tvtr put into exc
cution at this port, say the Federal
Iohicials.
The mysterious unknown for whom
the energetic search is being made
first attracted the attention of In
|spector H. A. Swazey of the custom
service by lounging about the wharf
where the Brisgavia is moored. That
was the prelude of the little drama.
Act one began when he strolled
aboard the vessel. Its captain says
he asked for leave to work his way
Ito Germany, and, being refused, went
Taft to ask the steward for q cup of
coffee.
Oswald was in the gallery. He al
20 was the p0ssessor Of eight boxes
Of very fine imported cigars, valued
by government officers at about $50.
He can't speak English, but the
stranger was evidently conservant
with German, for the two struck up
Ia conversation which lasted for an
hour or so. Then the mysterious
one, who is to this story what the
minus quantity is to algebraic science
gible-left the Brisgavia, and took
to lounging about the wharf again.
always under the watchful eye of
Inspector Swazey.
Act second. A laundry wagon
drives up to tho wharf, and the driv-
er. whistling cheerily, goes aboard
the ship, returning q moment later
with capacious and seemingly fully
laden laundry bag over his shoulder.
Swazey stopped him at the gang
plank, and asked to look at the con-
tents Of the bag, whereupon the
''minue quantity ducked behind a
pile of shippings and disappeared.
The expression on the face of the
laundryman when Swazey dug the
eight boxes of cigars from under the
pile Of soiled linen would have &C
quilted him of any suspicion Of col
fusion. He, Oswald, and the Bris-
gavia's captain were conducted be-
fore Commissioner A. H. Browne.
Oswald could not speak English, and
the captain was told to interpret.
The two spoke together several min
utes in German, and then the cap
tain turned to Commissioner Browne
in disgust.
HE no tell the truth" he accus-
ed, and refused to interpret any fur
Their. Through another German,
Commissioner Browne learned that
Oswald declared he had given the
cigars to the stranger, and later had
devised the scheme to get them
ashore without his knowledge.
Oswald was committed
to the parish prison in default OF
$500 bond to await trial.
A feature OF the incident was the
novel escape the laundry had from
