FOUND WITH OPIUM
SECRETLY ARRESTED
Customs Officers Make Raid
Upon Potrero Saloon, Taking
Proprietor Into Custody

August Legner, young man in the
saloon business at Twenty-fourth
street and Potrero avenue, was ar
rested yesterday on the charge of hav-
ing five tins of smoking opium in his
possession. That he is either mem
ber of or the tool of an organized
gang was made evident by the action
the arrest. with the greatest secrecy
and without even taking the United
States attorneys Office into their con-
fidence. 1t is known, however. that the
officials have been working on the case
for some time and expect to make
other arrests.
Legner was taken into custody
shortly before noon by Inspector Head
at the order of Deputy Surveyor Blinn
and removed to the office of United
States Marshal Elliott in the postoffice
building, where he was held until his
release was procured on $500 bail
bonds. A. p. Black, assistant United
States attorney, swore TO the complaint
before Court Commissioner Francis
Krul1, who was sent for after he had
left his office for the day.
In the presence of Black, Legner
said:
get me into anything like this again.
Legner's bondsmen were Supervisor
Timothy B. Healy, who has a liquor
business at 24o0 Bryant street, and F.
]. Schulken, hay and grain dealer
of 1865 Sanchez street.
According to Supervisor Healy. the
reputation of the young man among
his friends and neighbors is good. Be
fore going into the liquor business
Legner was pressman.
Since the federal law against the i'm
portation of smoking opium went into
effect thousands of dollars worth has
been seized and condemned in the
trans-Pacific liners. The greater part
of it has been found in the quarters of
the Chinese, although lately il has
been hidden in life preservers, hol-
lowed wooden stanchions and pieces OF
dunnage. Those caught bringing
opium off the ship have been either
stevedores or white members of the
crew.
Efforts to run down the ring have
been futile in the past Joseph Alex
ander, water front resort keeper,
was arrested with a package of opium
in his arms but obtained an acquittal.
His brother, George, a stevedore, was
caught with several tins concealed in
his clothes and was fined by the court.
Other stevedores who were said TO be
paid s1.50 for each tin by the gang
have paid fines in all cases.
Legner's connections with the snug
gled drug, however, are known only
by the customs authorities, who re-
fuse to speak.

BUREAU TO
SAVE CITY MONEY
Public Welfare Fund Directors
Want S50,O0O to Garry on
Municipal Research

A municipal research bureau is an
nounced by the public welfare fund
committee as the chief feature of the
work for which it seeks an annual
fund of $4,000
The research bureau is to be modelled
after that which saved the tax payers
of greater New York several millions
of dollars in single year. One of the
chief duties of the research bureau will
be the auditing and reviewing of all
money expended by the city and county.
II is proposed to have the bureau
take up the tax budget in its entirety
and trace to the minutest items the
expenditure and administration of all
public funds. That review will go TO
the quality of materials and supplies
and their application to the purposes
for which they are purchased. 1t will
go into contracts, the manner of their
award and of their completion
The research bureau will also under
take to investigate and report fully
upon the administration and manipu-
lation of all sources of the city's reve-
nue., other than the tax rolls. The
bureau, If established, will employ a
competent engineer and expert &C
countant and all its reports will be
made public.
The New York bureau is supported
by an annual subscription aggregating
100000. Its most marked successes
have been achieved through forcing
the utilization of neglected sources OF
revenue and the application of business
methods to the administration of the
city's affairs.
Not all of the $4,000 sought by the
public welfare fund is 70 be devoted TO
the research bureau. The fund is al
ready committed to the financing of the
campaign for revision of the charter
which will provide for nonpartisan di-
rect nominations TO Municipal office
and for an anti-franchise grabbing

HOW | MADE
MY HAIR GROW
Woman With MarveIOusly Beautiful
Hair Gives Simple Home PresertD-
tiOn Which She Used With Most
Remarkable Results.

I was greatly troubled with dan
drun and falling hair. I tried many
advertised hair preparations and vari-
Gus prescriptions, but they all signally
failed; many of them made my hair
greasy. so it was impossible to comb it
or do it up properly. I think that many
of the things tried were positively in
furious, and from my own experience 1
can not too strongly caution YOU
against using preparations containing
wood alcohol and other poisonous sub
stances. 1 believe they injure the roots
of the hair. After my long list Of fall
sreS I finally found simple prescrip-
tion which used with most remarkable
results, and 1 can unhesitatingly state
that it is beyond doubt the most won
derfuI thing for the hair I have ever
seen Many of my friends have also
used it and obtained wonderful effects
therefrOm. 1t not only is a powerful
stimulant 10 the growth OF the hair,
and for restoring gray hair 10 its nat
uraI color. but it is equally good for
removing dandruf, giving the hair life
and brilliancy, etc, and for the purpose
of keeping the scalp in first class con-
ditiOn; IL also makes the hair much
easier 10 comb and arrange in nice
form. l have a friend who used It two
months. and during that time it not
only stopped the falling of his hair and
wonderfully increased its growth. but
ii practically restored all his gray hair
to it's natural color. You can obtain
the ingredients for making this Won
derful preparation from almost any
druggist. The prescription is as fol-
lows:
Bay rum. ozs.; MenthoI crystals.
one-half dram: LavOna de COmposee. ,
ozs-; To-Kalon perfume, 1 to tea
spoonfuls.
Apply night and morning; rub thor
oughly into the scalp.
Go TO your druggist and ask for an
eight-Ounce bottle containing six
ounces of bay rum; also one-half dram
of MenthOl crystals. and for a two
ounce bottle of LavOna de COmpOsee-
Mix the ingredients yourself in your
own home Add the MenthOl crystals
TO the bay rum and then pour Lavona
de Composee, and add the TO-Kalon
perfume Let it stand for One-half hour
and it is ready for use.
The demand for the above prescrip-
ton has become so great and there has
been so much difficulty in getting the

about this result. 1t was the increasing
dishonesty of the ticket brokers that

the canceling punches with which con

the easiest things they did. BY means of
colored pulp and ink they would restore
the printed bit of pasteboard to all its
pristine freshness, and do it so cleverly
