Shanghai, Aug. 21.—(I. 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. Maloney,
local baseball star and writer 'for tho
"Shanghai Sports" magazine.
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.
According to Husar, tho Steins
acted as a clearing house for arms
deals that ran into millions of dol
lars nnd Included thousands of
rounds of ammunition and numerous
larger calibre guns. 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.
Husar says that the arrests of
those connected with the smuggling
ring have just begun and that Shang
hai is In for a surprise thnt will up
set many notions of "Who’« Who”
In the International
settlement.
Twelve men and women have been
mentioned up to date In the muni

gation which has just commenced is
finished.

American public which hitherto
has not displayed any desire for
personal adornment of this

Prohibition is entirely re

their view being that enforced
