FLOUR TRADE WITH CHINA

Smuggling of Morphia With Shipments
Has Been Well Handled by

The -four trade with China. which was

the attempt To smugsle morphia in "a

quite a number of deaths followed
the smuggling OF the drug into Annoy

In a report to the State Department
on the smuggling of morphta in flour
and its effect on the flour producers of
the United States, Consul Anderson
says;
Flour imports at Annoy are about
Torual at the present time, and similar
reports come from SwatOw and other
affected ports In this connection it is
to be hoped that something viii be done
to stop the smuggling of morphia, the
dangerous nature Of which practice,
side from its relation TO the customs
revenue and the criminal code. is to be
found in this case Of flour poisoned by
the drug hidden in il.
THE smuggling OF this moTphia, III
which trade Americans can have no
part has cost the -four producers OF
The United States more than the NOR

SPRING POLLUTED
At LOVERS LANE
Petroleum Mystery Agitates
Many Of the Visitors.
CASE FOR THE OIL EXPERTS
Flow Has Increased in Volume Without
Apparent Cause.-The General
Opinion.
CASE FOR THE OIL EXPERTS

The famous spring at the Massa-
chusetts avenue end OF Lovers lane has
become polluted. and general regret is
being expressed. This spring is 10
Georgetown and the Naval Observatory
what the K street spring Is to Wash
ingtonians.
a reporter for The Times investigated
the conditions. and traced the cause to
a riVulet which comes from the Clifton
property. and which had suddenly in
creased tenfold in volume. This stream
passes into a cuIveFt where the path
from Massachusetts avenue joins Lovers
lane. and flows out on the other side of
the pathway at the corner where the
cross gorge of the main Clifton stream
meets the Rock creek gorge. The spot
is picturesque. for the height is about
eighty feet, and the upper part is a
tangled mass of vines and the most
varied tree forms. and strangers visit
ing Georgetown are taken to see 1t, and
are looked upon coldly If they do not
admire it enthusiastically. Now il has
an added charm. for the strong volume
OF falling water roars as IL falls with a
deep sound worthy OF an actual cataract.
Followed the Rivulet.
The reporter followed the rIvuIet as
far as it was visible and found that
the water flowed from a culvert placed
at the very bottom of the bed OF the
road which the observatory built for
the owner of the Clifton property. 1t is
said that This was set OFF for the right
of way which the observatory people
claimed through the Clifton land to
Georgetown. It is is to be observed
that literally there is no other way. The
owner of the CT fton property complain
ed that every man, woman. and child.
every dog. cat. pony. and donkey on the
observatory swarmed over Clifton by
night and by day. and that he was tired
of IT. To which rumOr says that Ad-
uiral Chester replied in a letter of the
utmost courtesy, in which he denied all
the allegations about the men. women,
and children. dogs and donkeys.
In the second place he claimed the
right of way. The owner or CuTIon WAS
not nnolIffed by the building OF The road,
which only extended part or the way To
the sWeep in front OF his house. ana SO
he never finished II.
Now there must be open war, for 1t
seems to be clear from the Increased
volume of water that something has
happened owing 10 the very remarkable
rsins than have prevailed. Some secret
reservoir has been filled up, ana Ihe
stream that fed IL is pouring INTO the
culvert which IS between the ooserFa-
tory ground and the Clifton property
How the petroleum got into II is mys-
terry for il can hardly be a naturd;
