WHOLESALE COCAINE

BY the arrest OF Harrison Albright
and his wife. Mary, and the cunilsca-
ton OF fifty one.ounce bottles of
COCAINE, the police feel firmly assured
that they have at last found the whole
sale dealers in tho deadly drug, and
consequently there Is much rejoicing
In the hearts OF Policemen Bryant and
Kellum. who made the arrests yester-
day morning.
,rhe negro ASSERTS his innocence as
a matter of course, but with 80 much
evidence already In the hands of the
officers and the certainty OF procuring
more, the police feel that they Will
have one OF the best cases they have
ever had In this line
II was by the merest accident that
the officers got their first clue. officer
bryant noticed bottle labeled cocaine
protrudins from An express wagon.
and, calling Policeman Kullum. be-
gan to follow the wagon. 1t stopped
at the Memorial Hospital, and the oit,-
GERS began to lose heart; but the
cocaine package was not delivered
there. The driver went down to the
jamestown Pressing Club. just below
the Memorial Hospital, and there the
policemen saw the package delivered
into the hands of Albright.
The negro and his wife were arrested
at once and were taken UP to the Of
fee OF the chief, where they were Sc
verely questioned. The man denied
that he ever distributed the stun among
peddlers. but the woman made a sort
OF half confession that she and AL
bright had been traflickins in the drug.
From the express company 1t was
learned that the stun had been shipped
from Norfolk, and Chief Werner at
once requested Chief Of Police Boush.
OF that city. to arrest the shipper.
Major Werner was very proud of
the mornings work Of his men. for IT
may mean the beginning of the end OF
the cocaine selling which has been 80
long one of the worst evils with which
the police lave had to contend. There
are hundreds OF negroes In the city adj
dicted to tho drug. and many whites.
Crime after crime has been traced to
its use. Without his daily ''snir" the
cocaine fend Is as one lost In desert.
and there Is no extremity to which he
Will not go In order to relieve his
need.
In the city Jail there are dozens now
who owe their incarceration to CO.
caine. And worse than this. the co..
caine habit is on the increase among the
negroes. For years the police have
been trying to discover who 1t is that
distributes the drug among the ped.
dlers knowing that II they could ever
land him great beginning toward
the extinction OF the peddlers would
have been made. They think they are
at that beginning now.
The wholesale dealer wakes fat on
his proceeds. There Is immense prof,t
in selling the stun. A few cents.
worth. mixed with granulated sugar
into one pellet. sells for 80 cents. And
80 the dealer fattens on the others
weakness and sins.
