Those against “whom warrants for arrest were sworn out today were Customs Guards Manuel Jo- seph, C. G. Reay, Walter B. Bren- John McGeogh, Peter W. Craigie, James J. Brolan, J. B. Balk, E. E. gher. Vargas and Elmer J. Galla- Works All Along Coast Details of the operation of the opium smuggling ring, which is al- ed to have gone on for years along the Pacific coast with the connivance of these customs guards, today is in the hands of Col. lector of the Port J. O. Davis. These confessions are for the time being withheld, but are declar- ed by Davis to be ample for the connection of all accused. » Davis declares that the opium ring, thoroughly organized with representatives in China and Pa cific coast ports, has engaged in operations, the profits of which amounted to hundreds of | thousands of dollars. It was the practice, asserts Davis, for the men upon whom the government relied to guard against the opium traffic to carry the con- |traband drug ashore and deliver it ue the agents of the smuggling ring. Outsiders Involved Other persons outside the service also are involved, it is declared, and warrants for their arrests have been issued. Surveyor J. 8. Wardell secured the first confessions from the customs members of the opium ring, and laid the foundation for se- curing the testimony upon which the government expects conviction, “We have broken the opium ring id Davis today. “This is a perfect case.

NO ARRESTS HERE Local customs officials here had no knowledge of the investigation | being conducted in San Francisco or of the arrests made there this morning until shown the above dis- patch by a reporter for The Star. It is not believed here that the confessions obtained by the San Francisco officials implicate in any way any of the customs employes elsewhere on the Pacific coast. “If arrests were to be made at other points,” said a local official this morning, “it is reasonable to suppose they would have been made coincident with the San Francisco arrests. No intimation of the San Francisco developments has reach- ed this far.
