CHINESE SELLS OPIUM
HIDDEN IN SANDWICH
United States Officials Raid Chop
Suey Restaurant

CHICAGO, Oct, 22.-The opium
sandwich is the latest wrinkle III res
taurant novelties. The price is 81, if
you know where to make a tender of
the same.
A novel scheme for the distribution
of the drug was unearthed yesterday
when Ching Sing, proprietor of Chi
nese chop suey restaurant in West
Randolph street, was arrested.
II Ching Sing had not developed such
a lively sandwich trade in the last
month his business probably never
would have been discovered. The
mysterious actions of some of his Gus
toners, however. attracted the atten-
ton of the police.
Thursday a customer was seen to
enter the place.
Give me a liverwurst sandwich" he
told a waiter
As soon as the "liverwurst" had
been produced the officers took charge
of it.
The sandwich consisted of a several
days old bun, with the center followed
out. Reposing in its interior was a
small package containing opium. A
raid was made on the place by United
States marshals and police officials,
but the cache where the opium was
kept was not found.
Sing was arrested on a charge of
selling opium.

Chicago Man Prevents Explosion

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Austin o'MaIley,
travelling salesman, last night pre-
vented the explosion of bomb" in
his residence by seizing the explosive
after 1t had crashed through a window,
and eXtinguishing burning fuse. The
Northwestern elevated railroad struc-

missile was hurled from it.
The "bomb" consisted of three sticks

burned down when O'Malley arrived,
attracted by the sound Of shattertng
glass. Aside from slight burns to his
fingers received in putting out the
fuses he was uninjured.
While the police refused to discuss
the motive of the bomb thrower, it
was generally thought that O'Malley's
house was made target through a
mistaken identity.
During the last three or four years
more than three dozen bombs have
been thrown in an alleged gamblers
war, and it is believed the bomb
thrower mistook O'Malley for a mem

COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 22.-Politicians
are stirred up over a speech of former
Senator j. B. Foraker delivered today
at AIarysville in opening the Repub-
lican state campaign. Mr.. Foraker
made a vigorous attack on former
President Roosevelt and the colonePs
"new nationalism." He discussed the
insurgent movement, indorsed the ad-
ministration Of President Taft and
pleaded for the election Of the Repub-
1ican state and congressional ticket
in Ohio in his address here today
Mr.. Foraker said:
"If there was nothing more involved
in this contest than a choice between
men no one need be seriously con-
cerned as to the outcome.
"The candidates for governor are
both fair and able-minded men Of high
character. Even unusual praise might
be spoken of both without fiattery to
either, for neither would betray a
trust or consciously allow any interest
Of the state to suffer.
"But there is vastly more involved
than choice between Governor Harmon
and Mr.. Harding. Especially is this
true as to Republicans, for the Repup-
1ican party is engaged not only here
in Ohio, but throughout the whole
country, in a contest of the most seri-
Gus character and most far-reaching
in consequences.
G. o. P. FIGHTING FOR LIFE
"It is not only fighting for victory,
but it is fighting for life. 1t is beset
by foes both within and without. 1t
is not only confronted by its ancient
enemy. but it is weakened and mem
aced by internal dissensions that
threaten it's very existence.
1--WE have lately had new declara-
tion of political principles. They are
politically baptized as the doctrine of
a new nationalism.' They are set forth
in the nature Of a new platform for a
a. new party. Posi- ly they are in
tended for that use only in the event
that the distinguished author be not
nominated for the presidency by either
of the old parties.
However that may ,e, 1t is well to
note that they violate our dual form
Of government by arrogating to the
national government the control of
matters so purely local that they
clearly belong to the jurisdiction of the
states.
''The power it would give to the
president Of the United States would
be far more autocratic and dangerous
to the liberties of this people than are
those of any monarchy in Europe.
The program has one saving feature,
however. There is about it all such a
,reposterous absurdity and such an
insufferable egotim as to exceed not
only condemnation but ridicule."

OFFER $1,000 REWARD
FOR TRAIN WRECKER

The Louisville and Nashville railroad
will probably offer a reward of $1,000 for
the arrest of the persons who wrecked q
train below Montgomery Sunday morning
which resulted In the death of two train
men. 1t was officially stated yesterday
that the wreck was the work of wreckers,
and that every effort was being exerted
to secure some information in regard to
the person who perpetrated the outrage.
1t was stated here that official informa-
tion was to the effect that the switch lock
was broken, the switch lamp extinguished
and the switch placed for the niding A
train passed over the point about Is min
utes before the derailment and the light
was safe. The next few minutes wit
messed thJ unlocking of the switch which
caused the death of two men and the in
Jury OF others. A standing reward OF
$1,000 has been issued for the men respon-
sible for the wreck above Cunningham a
few months ago. 1t Is the opinion Of local
detectives of the Louisville and Nashville
that one man is responsible for the entire
i've wrecks.

INSPECTORS STILL
WORKING ON CASE
Will Make Report on Cotton
Bills of Lading
ARE BACK FROM DECATUR
Bring Mass of Papers and 1t Is Un-
derstood They Have Gathered Inn
pOrtant Information In Connec-
ton With the Cases.

With a mountain of papers and corre-
spondence bearing on the Knight-Y ancey
company firm and its failure in their pos
session, Postoffice Inspectors Keys and
Dilts returned to Birmingham yesterday
from Decatur.
The inspectors have been engaged in
that city since last Wednesday, looking
into the Knight-Y ancey company case and
are now engaged In preparing a report to
be forwarded to the department in WASH
ington. This report, 1t is understood will
be forwarded today The inspectors have
also secured a full report of all testimony
introduced at the recent creditors meet
ing. They have before them every bill of
lsding number and cotton numeral on the
bales alleged to have been shipped by
Knight, Yancey & Co. From this infor-
nation they are writing their report.
In Birmingham the result of the inves-
tigation by postoffice officials is awaited
with unusual interest. The failure of two
cotton firms in the south has provoked in
vestigations which have resulted in the
arrest of all members of the firm of
Steele, Miller Co. of Corinth. Miss j.
l. Mcknight of that city. an empioye of
the firm, was in Birmingham when taken
into custody by deputy marshals. +
With the return of Inspectors Dilts and
Keys 1t was understood that INSPECTOR
Watson of the postoffice department, who
worked up the case against Steele, Miller
& Co. was in Birmingham conferring
with the local inspectors. This report
could not be verified Mr.. Watson is sup
posed to have turned over to the local
men some bills of lading said to be spuri-
Gus which were sent to E. Van Gerpfn Of
New York.
Inspectors Dilts and Keys, when re-
quested for statement yesterday said
they could not give out any information
In regard to their work. They did not adj
init ever having been in Decatur nor
would they state whether a conference
had been held between Inspector Watson
and the local officials
The main point in the government case
against Steele, Miller & Co. Is said to be
the information that the spurious bills OF
lading were sent from government posts
office to Van Gerpin in New York through
the government mails.

Richards attempted to cross while the
flagman at the crossing was giving the
red signal. Richards drove ahead and
two men who were standing In the street
are said to have told Richards not to
cross until the train had passed.
The story was refuted by Richardf
associates at the postoffice. although
they have not yet learned from Richards
how the accident happened. Richards
drove on to South Highlands after the
accident. but became so weak from the
loss of blood that he was placed in his

1t was from there that the ambulance
took him to the hospital. A statement

he would be able to leave the hospital In
