COL. SCOTT HOME
FROM TRIP ABROAD
Saws Rescue Work in Paris Is
Hindered by Wickedness Of People
Leaves Detroit Soon.

Just home from a trip abroad.
Lieut-Co T. w. Scott, In charge OF
the Salvation Army in Michigan and
Indiana, is more OF an American than
ever
IL will not say anything against old
England, but | prefer America as a
home. after an experience OF IL
years." Col. Scott said. Business In
England, they tell me, Is better than
II was two years ago, but there are
still a great many men out OF work.
The trouble seems to be that there
are still great many men out OF
work. The trouble seems to be that
there ar emore men than jobs. and
there seems to be no help for the
poverty that exists.
"One OF the most impressive sights
I saw while away was that of $40
men, who had been gathered In by
Salvation Army workers on the
Thames embankment on Saturday
night and provided with free break

day night our people go out and pick

that will enable him TO do IT,"
Speaking of the work OF the SAL
yation Army. Co. Scott Expressed the
belief that the general public appre-
ciate the work OF the army more In
America than In England, and the
newspapers here give more space TO
it's work than in the old country. But
he declared that the army Is making
great progress in England and on the
continent.

and saw the work there" he contin-
ued. "In Paris the work Is hindered
by the general apathy of the people
towards things spiritual. The Paris
ians have given themselves up al
most wholly to pleasure and FASH
ion."
Col Scott is soon to leave Detroit.
He has been transferred to Chicago
where he will have charge or the Cni-
cago training school and Cnicaso

JOE DID SOME GOOD.
CantilIon Failed at Washington BUT
Left 8 Good Players Behind Him.

Joe Cantillon's regime at the head
of the Washington team was ont an
artistic success, and yet the princely
salary he drew from the local club
was well earned, for he left something
here which could not have peen
bought for the money paid him.
Johnson, Milan and Street are worth
more than Cantillon drew In salary
during his three years here. II they

this trio of players would undoubtedly
bring forty or fifty thousand dollars
and they would be well worth 1t to

There is Indication among interested
parties that the request for approprla-
tions for more money for the additional
portion of the Mahuka site block for
the proposed federal building will not
be pressed before congress. The posi-
bility of a deficiency appropriation of
$4,000 to be secured from congress
to make up any difference between the
present appropriation of $350,000 and
the half million dollar valuation given
for the unsecured portion of the block,
has given rise to the belief that the
question might be undetermined for
several years. 1t is stated also that if
condemnation proceedings are once
started, such proceedings will have to
remain against the properties, no mat
ter whether the deficiency appropria-
ton is secured from congress during
the course of several years.
1t is understood along brokers' row
that Delegate Kuhio and Collector of
Customs Stackable had conference
over the matter on Tuesday, and there
is a growing belief that the delegate

PAKE THIEF MAY
GET LONG SENTENCE
Resorted to Stealing to Get
Price of the Deadly
Poppy Drug.

Lang zee appeared in police court
yesterday morning to answer to two
charges of larceny in the second degree
preferred against him by Chief McDuf-
fe for stealing $50 worth of lead and
s. worth of Chinese cooking utensils.
While he pleaded guilty to both charges,
he became somewhat confused when he
tried to remember his old record. He
stated first that he had never been ar
rested but afterwards decided that a
less emphatic lie might 60 better and
said he had served two months for
stealing wood
Prosecuting Attorney Brown asked
for the limit on both charges and claim
ed that the man was an old offender.
The case was set over until today to
give the prosecution chance to submit
his record.
The man is a dope fend and the of
fcers took advantage of this by depriv-
ing him of opium for several nights
This reduced him to such a condition
that he speedily confessed and pointed
out the hiding place of the lead, where
incidentally the lead was not found.
He sold a part of it for sixty cents to
another Chinaman. There are now
score of witnesses against him on the
two charges.
The guilt of the two officers, who real
" should be punished as accessories, lies
in the fact that they have shut down
on the channels of opium smuggling so
tightly that the price of the poppy
drug is exceedingly high. There are
hundreds of such men as Lang zee
who can not cure themselves of the drug
habit and must secure it at any price.
1t Is now selling at $3.50 a pound
Therefore LANG Yee Tesorted to rob
berry in order to secure the cash for
the drug. He was very happy last
night when the police allowed him a
little Of the drug. which he promptly
ate
That they can he cured Of the drug
habit is shown by a man arrested some

time ago by McDuffie who has just
finished a sentence of three months for
stealing opium. This man was SO weak
at the time of his arrest that he could
not walk up the police station stairs
without assistance While serving time
he was only allowed little of the
drug during the first week and the sup
ply was then cut off altogether.
When he left all he was imbued with
new life; had grown fat and acquired
swinging stride. He swears he viii
never hit the pipe again, and as far
as the knowledge of the police goes he
never has
