ORDERS ARE GIVEN
TO COLLECT FINES
Government to Institute Suits
Against Steamship Compa-
nies for Carrying Opium.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. Jan. l2.-
Frederick S. Stratton, collector of the
port of San Francisco, received iustruc.
tions from the secretary of the treasury
today Immediately to institute suits in
the United States circuit court for the
collection of fines aggregating more
than SlOQ.O00 assessed against masters

the carrying Of contrabanl opium. Col.
lector of Customs Stratton said he had
no alternative but to proceed at once
against number Of companies, includ-
ing the Pacific Mail Steamship COMPANY
and the Togo Kisen Kaisha.
The law covering the hning of cap
talns for carving contraband opium
provides that In the event of legal bar.
ricrs arising in the collection of the
fines, action shall be taken against
the companies. The secretary Of the
treasury orders the strict enforcement
of the statute, which also provides that
pers against whose master there is an
unpaid fine.
Mr., Stratton said he also hal re-
ceived a letter today from the United
States district attorney, stating that
proceedings Immediately would he in
stitnted in the United States district
court here. He intimated that he would
refuse clearance papers TO the Pacific
liner Mongolia. which will reach port
here tomorrow, IN command Of Captain
Henry L. Morton. against whom fine
of 500 stands for contraband opium
found on that vessel several months
ago.
The specific case upon which the
secretary of the treasury intends to
make test of the present federal
statute is the assessment of d fine of
$3359 against Captain j. w. Saunders
of the Pacific Mail liner Korea Cap
tain Saunders is dead, and left an
estate. from which the fine could be col
lected- Mr.. Stratton is directed TO pro-
cced at once against the Pacific Mail
company for the collection OF the fine.
