Neither the acting prosecuting attorney nor the acting collector. of customs will talk for publication of the next steps to be taken in the case, but it is expected that warrants for the arrest of certain Manilans will be issued..
The smuggling scheme was part of a mam moth enterprise to bring opium into the island, and if it had not been discovered by the officials it is believed that in the next few months thousands of tias of the prohibited drug would have reached the smokers in this country.

The startling discovery has been made that the pieces in which the proscribed drug was secreted were made for the express purpose for which they were used, and not for the ordinary uses to which machinery of this kind is put. It in the confirmation of this theory that has puzzled the detectives and customs officials..
mong-other-pieces-of-machinery arriving on the Trax last Saturday for the Philippine Gold Dredging Company, were nice pieces that were taken to the workshop of George Y Taylor for certain alterations. These nine pieces were: four steel shafts, four cast iron colomos, and hand winch. The two former pieces contained over P30,000 worth of op um in little round tins which exactly fitted the hollow pleces. The winch contained cocaine valued at P3,500.
