N. 8.)— Fhang'hal is the center of a gigantic organization dealing in illicit arms and ammunition which has handled deals In guns and shells running into the millions of dollars. ■«cording to Untied States District Attorney Leo nard G. Ilusar. For some time linear has been run ning secretly down the gun-runners nnd tho arrest of prominent Ameri cans In connection with tho gun smug gllng charges has thrown a bomb Into the foreign community. The case promises to bo the most uensntionnl and wide-spread criminal proceedings over held In tho United States Court In China. From Mukden, In Manchuria, to Canton, In Southern China, and to Hankow, hundreds of miles up the Yantze, iHusnr has been combing China 1u an effort to round up evi dence. A warrant has 'been Issued for the arrest of Captain L. D. Kearney, a famous character In China, who has sailed tho Yantze River for many years and who now Is the head of the Kearney Company, Captain Kearney Is alleged to be the head of the gang of smugglers, but all efforts up to date to arrest him hnve failed. Two arrests which created a sur prise recently were that of Mrs. Eliz abeth .Stein, wife of C. V. Steitl, a former lieutenant In the United 9ta:es Army and at preeent ahvlser to Mar shal Chang Tso-lln, the Dictator of Manchuria, and of J, J.

When American and municipal authorities raided the offices of the "Shanghai Sports,” a weekly maga zine established by Stein and car- rlod on. in his absence, by his wife and Maloney, they found a literal bale of telegrams nnd letters involv- Ing numerous other alleged gun-run ners. These were of British, Chi nese, Japanese and Russian nation alities, as well as Amerlcnn.

Including ma chine guns nnd field pieces. One deal alone, being negotiated between Stein and Chang Tso-lln amounted to *3,000,000, according to documents In the hands of Husar. The letters and contracts show al so that Kearney was connected with Importing and selling munitions of war which have gone to various tu- chuns, military leaders and bandit chieftains.

They state that lately there has been a marked demand for precious stones of the cheaper variety from a section of the American public which hitherto has not displayed any desire for personal adornment of this sort. Prohibition is entirely re sponsible for this, they declare, their view being that enforced abstinence leaves the middle and Industrial class of the United States with money to burn, and this they are spend ing in jewelry and precious stones. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ PARI OF YEAR ..................
