Royal Commission of
Ottaua Inquiries Into
Pacific Coast Customs

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov 20. E)-The
royal commission from ottawa inquir-
ing into customs conditions on the Pa
,cific coast, listened to witnesses to-
day who said they had left British CO.
lumbia with liquor shipments for South
America and landed them in California.
1t is expected the commission will in
vestigate the narcotics traffic.
N. w. Rowell, chief counsel for the

lumbia liquor control board ought to
state whether it had not been winking
at smuggling by granting permits for
shipment of liquor from this province
to Central America and South Ameri-
ca, when reasonably sure that the car
goes were being delivered into the
United States
Customs Collector Davey, of Victoria
testified that 500 cases of liquor loaded
on the steamer Charena here in Feb
ruary, never reached the destination,
San Bias, Mexico, to which they were
billed. He showed a power of attorney
from w o. Watson, of Buena Ventura,
Colombia, to the northwest brokers,
Ltd, of Vancouver, and an appointment
of Edward H. and Henry H. King as
Victoria agents. He said that the
Kings signed declarations that liquor
consigned to Watson was for export
to South America, and that they pro-
misedy5to produce certificates that the
liquor had been landed there.
Details of how liquor thus consigned
was shifted to vessels off Washington,
oregon and California, We're related
by masters of vessels known as mother
ships.
Edward H. King, who is customs
broker here, examined by Examiner
Rowel of the commission said he had
sworn on information given him that
cargoes had been landed at South and
Central American ports named in ships
papers. He admitted he received $3.50
to $400 each time he cleared a liquor
cargo from British Columbia.
