Conspiracy On A Liner

New York, Aug. 9. - Further evidence of the conspiracy among some of the officers of the White Star Line steamer Britannic to steal and smuggle was reported to the chief of pólice of Jersey City. In the rooms of Third Officer John Kynaston, who is under arrest here, and First Officer J. W. Jago, the first officer who disappeared after the arrest of Kynaston on Friday last, were found three receipts for registeredpackages mailed on Friday in New York. These packages were sent by Jago to London on the Cunard Line steamer Btruria, due in London next Friday. It is believed that they contained money and valuables stolen from the Britannie during her trip over. The Britannic arrived in New York on Friday and the packages were posted in New York shortly afterward. Chief Murphy has learned that the lace which the aecused tried to smuggle from the Britannic to the doek was part of the eargo of the vessel and that shippers of the lace were not in the plot to defraud the government. Chief of Pólice Murphy said that as the White Star Line was a British Corporation and as English mail was opened the British authorities have jurisdiction in the matter. John Kynaston, who tried to have twenty coupons from United States bonds cashed here, will have an examination soon.
