.SMUGGLES OPIUM TO
FRIEND ENORMOUSLY
Girl Keeps Sweetheart, Confined in
Jail, Supplied with Drug by
Sneaking 1t to Him in
Tobacco Sacks

OF all mysterious ways of smuggling,
the strangest case yet brought to their
attention. Los Angeles police say, is
that which it is alleged was resorted
to by a young girl, who, for several
days has been smuggling opium to her
sweetheart, Ralph Buchanan, at the
city Jail, by hiding the drug in to-
bacco sacks.
The smuggling was detect. | by Jailer
McCauley Friday night, and yesterday
the girl was arrested on a charge OF
felony.
Buchanan, who is at the workhouse.
had been serving a sentence of 40
days in jail for vagrancy. Every two
or three days June Raymond went to
the Jail and asked to be allowed to
hand Buchanan a sack of tobacco. &c
was soon learned the tobacco sacks
contained opium, which had been se-
GREETED by the girl in q most ingenious
manner. She did not disturb the string
on the sack or touch the seal, but With
steam removed the label, cut q hole
in the sack and placed a cigarette pa~
per containing opium in the sack. Bav-
ing done This she carefully pasted the
label again on the sack so no one could
tell, by appearances, anyone had tam
pered with the sack.

dence, Justice Thomas ruled, showed

his eyes open.

connections.

3 Andrew Carnegie never gives out fig
rres regarding his benefactions, but
the Library Journal keeps close tab
of his gifts to libraries and as it re-
ceives reports from all parts of the
world it is able to give us fairly ac-
curate statement as to what Mr.. Car
negie is doing along this line. 1t tells
us that during the year 1867 he gave
$l,631. $50 for public and college libra
ries, bringing his total gifts for this
purpose up to $49.G05622. In 1906 Mr..
Carnegie gave $3,O63,925. or twice as
much as he gave last year. This large
decrease may mean that Mr. Carnegie
is Intentionally giving more money to
other purposes and less to libraries
than formerly, or it may mean that
most of the cities, towns and colleges
which will accept libraries from him
under the conditions which he imposes
are being supplied.
In 1907 he made original gifts for IS
library buildings in the United States,
nine in Canada and IL in Great Britain.
He also made contributions to 20 Ii
braries in the United States which had
previously received money from him,
to one in Canada and II in Great Brit
ain. In recent years he has given
many libraries to cities and towns in
the British colonies, including New
Zealand, South Africa and Australia.
SAYS the Library Journal in comment
ing upon Mr.. Carnegie's contributions
to libraries:
ut has been querried whether Mr..
Carnegie would not be willing to pro-
vi.e and endow headquarters for the
library work as he has provided a tenn
pie of peace at The Hague. the hearth
stone for American republics at Wash
ington and the great engineering build
ing in New York, ell with notable Ii
brarics. Possibly his further benef-
icence may one, day shape itself III a
