Working on in formation received from special agents In the Orient, a party of six immigration officers under A. E. Burnett, district director, searched the Dollar liner. Presi dent .Lincoln as. she docked here today and discovered eleven young Chinese hiding in as many coffins which were stowed away in a hold of the vessel. " Vv The Chinese were 'discovered after the officers had searched the liner for two hours and were about to abandon their efforts. The tip Burnett received saH that 15 Chi nese had been dispatched by a smuggling ring In the Orient to San Francisco, probably, on the President Lincoln and in charge- of a Chinese member of the crew. Like a wild improbable piece of fiction, the wholesale plot to smuggle Chinese Into San Francis co was revealed bit by bit as Bur nett and his officers boarded the Lincoln. The first search was without success. Director Burnett then inspected the Chinese steward's compart ment in which he found a cigar box. containing letters, papers and pictures of ten Chinese supposedly aboard. Translations of the letters showed that the men whose pic tures and papers were enclosed were consigned to certain in dividuals in San Francisco and that the sum of $1100 was to be paid to Tong Nam upon the safe delivery ashore of each Chinese. Tong Nam was arrested but re fused to speak ' under dogged questioning so the immigration officials again ransacked the ves sel once more without success. . It was not until an officer climbed through tons of ship's gear and accidentally knocked oft the top of one of the coffins that the plot was discovered. In the coffin a Chinese youth was comn a vnmese jaum naTe taKen the question of smok stretched ouWwitb baggage and Jn . ln - and fiavr only rooa aiongsiae mm. The officers then unearthed eleven coffins and each was found to contain a live Chinese with baggage. All were taken into custody, together with Tong Nam and several other members of the crew who are suspected of being accomplices. Director Burnett said that the President Lincoln will be fined $1,000 for each rbootleg" Chinese. He said that' It was ridiculous to believe that only Steward Nam en gineered the smuggling, as the men in the coffins should be fed dally and the ship had undergone a thorough search before clearing from the Orient. He blamed "Higher ups" aboard the ship. The papers gave the names of certain San Franciscans to whom the Chinese were "consigned, Burnett said.
