It Is the most sensational case the
customs officials have had in years, due
to the prominence of the prisoner In po
litical circles and the fact that Bunce
Is easily . worth 1100,000, and because
of the bold methods pursued. At the
time of his arrest Bunce was supposedly
working In the Interests of the United
States sorefbment to unearth a band of
smugglers, which he aald he believed
wss operating in ana nrouna iynaen
and the British Columbia Una, but Bunce
in reality was the man who was doing
the smuggling, and by pretending -to
take care of that part of the country
waa enabled . to eacape the close scru
tiny of, the customs offlclala.
The trunk which waa seised, " and
whfch Bunce waa forced to admit was
bis property, contained-too-pounds of
opium, and from the length-of time
which it is now known that Bunce has
been engaged in the Illicit -trafflo it la
figured that he disposed of many thou

are sold. '
C, B. Merrick, secretary of the Retail
Grocers' -association. In discussing the
matter thla morning, said: "The retail
grocers have no quarrel with Mrs. Ev
ans. She la conscientious In her work,
and has undoubtedly improved. the con
ditions under which food products sre
sold- I have heard that she has had
soma differences with the meat deal
ers, . and that they want a practical
butcher ' to Inspect their products. I
think tho proper solution of this diffi
culty would be to allow Mrs. Evans
a deputy, who shall be a practical meat
man. and whose duty shall be to In
spect the slaughter and sale of all meat
products In the city. I think, too, that
this meat Inspection should bo subject
to the orders of the market Inspector,
Mrs. Evans."
Councilman Kellaher said: "I have
found Mrs. Evans faithful and consci

Her . rulings may sometimes seem' a
little harsh, but I think they will always
