Manila Seizes Hongkong Opium
Fictitious Address Of Consignor MANILA Customs agents
last week seized wooden boxes containing H.K.$75,000 worth of con- traband opium which bore a fictitious Hongkong name and address as consignor.
According to the labels attached to the boxes, the shipper was Hook Chu-chun of Hongkong, whose agent was given as Wing Nong- hong of 8, Wing Lok Street, Hongkong.
Investigation by the Telegraph has revealed that no such person resides there.
The boxes were addressed to Hok Ling-hing, Manila, but investigation in Manila revealed that there is no Chinese mer- chant there by that name.
The opium was seized after the arrival from Hongkong last week of the J.C.J.I. liner, Tjisadane. The presence of the contraband was dis- covered by customs men when they proded the cases with picks and found
und the points wet with black sticky substance which they knew ta be opium.

It is believed that this Important seizure of contraband will speed the construction of a new customs launch ordered by the Bureau recently, which will be faster than the launches at present in use. It will cost about H.K.$100,000.
