NEW YORK, February 4.—Evidence involving thirty-eight customs in- spectors at the port of New York in charges of graft, will be presented to the federal grand jury as soon as-the cases are completed, Earl B. Barnes, assistant federal district attorney, an- nounced. Warrants will be issued for the arrest of the men, he said: Byron C. Newton, collector of the port, admitted that recommendations had been sent to Washington for dis- en place in the staff. He said the in- vestigation, which had been in prog- ress but a short time, “revealed a de- plorable condition on the piers.” The inspectors, Mr. Newton declar- "] ed, have been receiving gratuities or ~ | bribes ranging from $1 to $300 from passengers who wished their baggage passed uninspected.

There was also evi- dence which tended to show that an international drug-smuggling ring was at work, he said, but thus far no one connected with the customs serv- ice had come under suspicion in this b} _R..
