were shown that my scheme would
work?' asked the smuggler.
II would" said Gard. But you
must remember that l am a business
man who has made his stake by strict
ly business methods. l must be
shown"
This was the first step toward the
formation of a smuggling syndicate
that labored along in it's preparation
for birth and died tragically.
Gard here insisted on proving to Pc
terson his commercial reliability and
financial standing. He had long be-
fore prepared the papers for just such
an occasion. He had credentials, and
letters of credit, and certificates of de-
posit and bank books without end.
The smuggler had had no idea of the
wealth of the man he had been culti-
waiting. The backing was without end,
if he but won this mans confidence.
So he took the fnancier in tow, with
the idea of first showing him the
source Of supply of opium and Of Chi

got quotations on opium from Sing
Foo and from Fun Ken at five dollars
for can the size of pot of salmon.
1t was shown that there was opium
to be had practically without end.
And the Cinnamon themselves! He
was told that there were always i've
hundred of them in Jamaica, ready to
make the run into the states. When
these were gone there were as many
more on the way. In fact, there was
all China to draw from. Every China
man who came was member OF an
association. That membership was
to cost him six hundred dollars. He
need not pay in advance, as such men
as Sing Foo stood back of the associa-
ton and furnished the capital. When
ever a Chinaman got into the United
States he went to work. He was able
to earn at least twelve dollars a week.
Half of this went to the association,
until the six hundred dollar fee was
paid. The association was willing to
spend a total of four hundred dollars
to get a Chinaman into the country.
Its minimum profit was two hundred
dollars a man. The stream flowed
constantly. Were not Sing Foo and
Fun Ken the richest Cinnamon in the
Caribbean?
The Tomahawk., 1916-09-21

The supposed fnancier declared him
self satisfied of the abundance of the
supply of these objects for profitable
smuggling. But he wanted to see
some of the money actually made.
Whereupon Peterson and Flavot
agreed that he should have complete
demonstration.
There was then Norwegian bark
in port, and her captain had agreed
to take aboard twelve Orientals. He
was bound for Norfolk. Peterson
and Flavot had made arrangements
with him, and Sing Foo was ready
with his men. In the dead of night
Gard accompanied the two Americans
as they pushed off two well-laden
boats from the foot Of deserted
street in Kingston. He saw the men
go aboard. He went deep into the
bow of the ship with them and saw
them nailed up in a nook behind
wall that seemed to be the end of the
vessel. He saw a Chinaman who had
come aboard as the representative OF
Sing Foo pass the captain eighteen
American one hundred dollar bliis.
He went back to Chinatown with Pc
terson and F1avot and saw them draw
their bonus Of fifty dollars for each
Chinaman that had thus been dis
posed of.
The capitalist declared himself con-
vinced SO far as the Cinnamon were

The special agent assured the SNUG
gler that he would be as pleased IN
making run back to the mainland as

and their landing at new haven.
Bailey had been caught, had served a
term in prison, and, since his liberia
ton, was running fish stand in Bos-
ton market.
But Bailey knew all the coves in the
Atlantic and the gulf into which a
boat might put. He knew every
dock where she might tie up, and the
time that must pass thereafter before
it would be safe to put his men
ashore. Operating from Jamaica there
was none of the danger into which he
had run in bringing Orientals from
Canada.
Eventually the papers were drawn,
setting forth conditions under which
all these men entered into partner
ship in this smuggling venture. Gard,
Ferren, Peterson, F7avot and Bailey
had all signed, and Gard had gone to
New York to get the signature of Doc
tor Yen. The district attorneys office
in Boston was prepared for the arrests
when the papers should finally be
signed When Doctor Yen affixed his
signature Gard signaled an associate
across the narrow street in Chinatown.
He sent the flash to Boston and the
trap was sprung.
So were all the inside facts of this
most aggravating system of smuggling
revealed. With these facts in hand,
the government had little difficulty in
breaking up system that had been
causing a lot O. trouble for a decade.

TRADING IS QUIET
ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady
at a Net Advance of
II to ~ Points

New York, December 96.-The cotton
market was comparatively quiet today
and irregular fluctuations seemed largely
the result of January notices and switch
ing from near to late months. After SELL
ing at 163sc on the call, January rallied
to 1890 and closed at 1870, with the gem
eral list closing steady at net advance
! of IL to % points.
The market opened firm at a decline of
q points to an advance of % points, near
months being relatively easy under jan
uary liquidation. Notices were reported
in circulation estimated at about 10000
bales and the difference between January
and March widened out to about 40 points
compared with So points at the close on
Saturday. This seemed to attract de-
mand for the near month from spot
houses and banking interests against
sales of later deliveries, while people who
were liquidating January were replacing
by purchases of spring and summer posi-
tons.
The market steadied in consequence
with active months selling about 10 to %
points net higher before the end of the
morning. March sold up from 1886 to
1721c; May from 17.2Oc to 17.51c and July
from 1880 to II 55c. Bulish southern spot
advances helped this rally, but demand
tapered off and the market later reacted
several points under scattered Wall
street selling.
There were some scattered selling, but
offerings were by no means as heavy as
they were before the holidays and after
easing off to 1890, March contracts raj
lied again closing at 17.10c. Selling may
have been checked to some extent by an
idea that the German response to the
United States note favored peace pros
poets, the more SO as grain weakened
late in the afternoon, but the volume of
business around the ring remained very
light, and there was no aggressive buy
ing. AS Liverpool was still closed, there
were no cables to influence sentiment
either way

MODERATE ADVANCE
OF COTTON PRICES
Traders Pay Little Atten-
ton to Peace Proposals
and Gain Is Made

New Orleans. December 26.-Today's
cotton market here was much of holi-
day affair, little attention being paid to
news features. The new peace proposals
by Germany and her allies passed I'M
noticed, whereas week ago they would
have thrown the market into a turmoil
of trading. Prices stood at a moderate
advance nearly all day, closing at a net
gain of IS to q points.
In the early trading there was rise
of 10 to % points, chiefly on the lack OF
January tenders in this market. This
was first notice day for the new spot
month, and it brought only 300 bales Of
tenders. Notwithstanding the stock here
is nearly half a million bales, the largest
amount of cotton ever accumulated at u
single point in this country. At the mid
die of the morning the rise amounted to
p to % points, but scalping shorts in
creased their offerings, and prices fell
At the lowest of the day trading
months were points higher to 3 points
lower than Saturdays close. In the aft
ernoon the tone was dull, but steady, and
the market had tendency to rise again.

LIVELY SELLING WIPE
OUT EARLY ADVANCE
Sharp Setback Follows the
German Reply to Presi-
dents Note

Chicago, December 26.-Lively cell
ing, which seemed to be connected with
Germany's proposal for an immediate
conference of belligerents. wiped out
today nearly all of an early advance
in the value of wheat. The market
closed unsettled. Il ole net higher with
May at $1.6Sa @1.6s% and July at
$1.3SA @1381a. Corn lost u to IA %
&c, and oats finished 5sc off to u up.
Provisions wound up at 5@37c advance.
1t was not until half hour or more
after the German reply to President
Wilson's note was received that the
wheat market began to show any
noticeable effect. In the sharp setback
however, which then quickly ensued,
some of the largest traders were con-
spicuous on the bear side.
On the other hand the fact that Ger
many did not reply to the American
request to name peace terms appeared
to cause some conflict of opinion as
to whether a cessation of hostilities
had actually been brought any nearer.
This uncertainty was reflected by some
thing of a rally which seemed to be
gaining Roadway as the session ended.
The fact was also noticeable that at
no time did the declines carry the mar
ket to any radical extent below Sat-
urday's closing level.
Previous to the Berlin developments,
the wheat market had displayed de-
cided tendency to advance and had
risen to the highest point since the
news was received of the German peace
offer on December ~. Today's tenn
porary showing of strength was based
largely on hopes of improved foreign
demand and on the scantiness of do
nestle receipts. Gossip was current
that Europeans were buying future de-
liveries and that more vessels were
now available for exports.
Predictions of heavy receipts this
week had a bearish influence on corn,
especially after wheat late in the day
underwent sag. Unsettled weather
acted at first as stimulus to buyers
but the effect failed to last. A good eX
port demand for oats was noted 9th
erwise though trade in oats was light.

J Concerned With Mexico

u New York, December 26.-Judging
from the movement of special stocks
Today, Wall streets speculative ele-

Mexican situation than in European
peace negotiations. Shares most af-
Nfected by Mexican conditions rose Wig

United States and Mexico.
Shipping issues, in which dealings

while Atlantic Gulf and West Indies,

ernment, registered gross gain of 8
Spoints.
n Renewal of Germanys peace over
tdres, which became known in the lat
Wer part of the session, was followed
1Iby moderate strengthening of repre-
sentative stocks, including United

partly forfeited on the failure of the
mote to set forth any definite terms.
W The movement otherwise constituted

Sugar Market

New York, December 26.-The local
market for raw sugar was unchanged
and trading was very quiet, the only
sale reported being a small lot of full
duty sugar for prompt shipment at 13-16c
elf, equal to 5.0Sc for centrifugal, duty
paid. The close was firm at 1-16c for
Cubas cost and freight, equal to 5.OSc
for centrifugal and 4.21c for molasses,
although it was said that holders were
asking 1-16c above these prices for prompt
shipment, while February and March
shipments were offered at csc, cost and
freight.
In refined a further adjustment was
made, with all refiners reducing list prices
10 points to the basis of 6.95c for fine
granulated. Trading was again light,
with buyers limiting their orders to near
by requirements.
In futures prices moved within a very
narrow range, trading being very quiet
and operators inclined to hold off and
await developments. The opening was
steady, on covering, with prices about
point above last weeks finals. but near
the close they eased off under liquidation,
closing 1 point higher to 2 net lower.
January sold from 4.0Sc to 4.04c, closing
at 4.0Sc; March, 3.S1c to $500, closing at
3.S2c May, 3.S7c to 9.S6c, closing at 3.S7c;
July closed 392c.

Coffee Market

New York, December 26.-An opening
advance of to 5 points was followed by
an easier turn in the market for cof-

the close showing a net loss of l to 3
points. Trading was very quiet making
it appear that most scattering accounts
had been evened up before the close last
Friday, and that operators had found
nothing in over holiday developments to
create fresh sentiment. Scattering hqui-
dation seemed to account for the decline
which carried May off from S.S2c to 8.74c,

of the day. Closing bids: December, 8.34c;
