OF that vessel from Salina Cruz by the

The proddingiron squad spent some
hours prOwling about the Capacious
hold of the freighter. A still hunt
was inaugurated in which all cabins
and quarters occupied by officers as

most rigid scrutiny.
The opinion seems to prevail here
( in Federal circles that the ports on

The charge is made along the coast
that vessels touching at Salina Cruz
remain for such length of time that
quantities of the drug can be spirited
aboard despite the eternal vigilance
manifested by the shippers.

thousand tons freight, arrived in the

Another scandal Is brewing at the

tion that took place more than year

The sheriff says that MtomI was
locked up in the police station month
ago pending investigation by the po-
lice authorities. His valuables, includ-
Ing the money, were taken from him
at the receiving desk where he was
booked, says the sheriff Later Mitomi
was released and after short while
reported that his hundred dollars had
not been handed back to him. He in
formed Jarrett that his money was
missing.
jarrett said today that while il Is
true the money was taken and not
given back. things might yet be
Strengthened out. lie intimated that
the man responsible for the matter
would be given a chance to make good
the loss.
1t was rumOred that a formal COM
plant had been lodged with County
Attorney CathCart, but at noon today
the county attorney said that he had
not heard Of the trouble before.
