SMUGGLED OPIUM
SENT TO BROOKLYN
TO Be DISTRIBUTED
Borough Across the River Cen.
tire of Big Contraband Traf-
fic, Trial Discloses.

The disclosure that Brooklyn 10 q dis
tributins centre for great quantities Of
opium smuggled into America from
Canada and Mexico was made at the
trial of Walter l.. Funk recently In
B~inghamton. y. Y. Funk vas con-
victed yesterday OF Smuggling from
Canada and his trial disclosed that q
syndicate Is gag In the c%ontraband
trade on an expensive scale.
Government inspectors have located
at least a dozen places in BROOKLYN
that are used as distributing stations
FOR this locality. and are parts OF the
smuggling system which has connections
In Seattle. a Francisco and Montreal.
Funk's conviction was the first victory
In the warfare on thiss syndicate. Frank
/. Lowe. a Japanese. living at No. III
Eckford street, Brooklyn. wal called as
a witness and testified to writing letters
10 the defendant.
Lowe first said he had received twenty
packages of opium at No. All Amsterdam
avenue, Manhattan. where he then lived
that he had receipted delivery sheets OF
the Adams Express Company for them,
and that lie had personally delivered the
packages to Lee Fong Wing at No. T.
Pell street. Chinatown lie said that he
had never spoken TO Wing, but had
merely delivered the packages over to
him.
II was alleged that the defendant,
under the alias T. Stevens, expressed
packages TO several persons from Al
bany and that one OF these persons
was Lowe. No less than fltty-one OF
these shipments. ag~gregatinG a little
over 500 pounds. are said to have been
sent to Lowe.
The receiving places in Brooklyn are
chiefly laundries, 1t Is said. In these a
back room traffic In the drug Is carried
on. But comparatively speaking only a
small proportion Of the opium struggled
into this country finds Its way to
Brooklyn.
In the last seven months OF this year,
according to official figures shown to-
day by a high Government official. nc
less than 800. So5 pounds of opium have
been imported into this country. the
value OF the whole being set at $3.50. AZ
Just q little short of a million dollars.
According to Government oficials. tho
bulk OF this opium has been brought
In here through the operations Of the
syndicate which the Government is try
ing to smash. The per capita consump.
ton of opium In the United States ex-
ceeds the per capita consumption in
China itself.

LEO TO ARREors.

Davis and Nell were arrested when the
transport wa on Florida last Wednes-
day. On the following day they were
joined In the brig or ships prison, by
ne others. Confessions from soldiers
constitute the case against them. Capt.
lfacNab rays that the soldiers purchase
q the stolen pies, steaks and sdibies
dees not constitute IN offense under the
law, although they U have known
that the supplies came out Of Uncle
Sans larder.
The transfer Of the cuiprits from the
shtp 20 our was spectacular, and one
Of Unitsd States Marshal Henkels best
efforts. Wireless flashes from the
transport to the Brooklyn Navy-Yard
told Of the presence OF the prisoners on
the ship. This fact vas communicated
TO the office Of the United States At
\ torney and a son OF 'Col." Abe Gruber,
who Il an assistant prosecutor, was as
signed to the case. A dozen assistant
narshals seized the five prisoners, AND
marched them from Pier No. II. East
River, to the Post-Office Building,
while police were on hand to queil any
outbreak.
When arraigned In court their counsel
william NJ. Byrne. claimed that two OF

HUME STUDIES
NEEDS OF SOIL
INTERESTING EXPERIMENT uN-
DERTAkEN IN SOUTH DAko-
ia BY STATE COLLEGE
AGRoNoMlsT.

Mitchell, S. D., Aug. IAN interest
Ing experiment is being tried out by
Prof. A. II. Hume, agronomist Of the
South Dakota state cnllege at Brook
ings. The initial work is being car
ried on in Hanson county, near Fulton.
and is an effort to determine the cause
of partial failure OF crops, and to sug-
gest operations that will have a ten
dency to prevent such failures.
A scope OF country six miles wide
and nine miles long was travelled by
Mr.. Hume and his party, sketches of
the contour Of the land were taken,
and deep borings were made In the soil
to get good samples which were taken
to Bookings for analyzation. From
these it will be determined why, under
certain conditions, the land does not
produce the crops.
The work is the beginning of a soil
examination in South Dakota with a
view of finding out what 1t contains
and what 1t needs in order to raise 1t
to its maximum of production. When
he had gathered the samples from eight
or ten farms, DIR. Hume, who has done
much of this work in Germany and in
several states, made this statement:
IT have never turned q soil augur In
better soia than I find right here"
The experiment work win be car
ried into several counties, for the re-
uuirements OF the soil varies in differ
ent localities.

STOCKMEN WILL
DO DRY FARMING
LAST WOOL CROP OF IMPoR-
TANcE AROUND cuT5ANk.
MONT, NOW ON MARKET.

Cutbank, Mont, Aug. Probably
the last wool crop to be raised in this
part OF Montana lis now on the mar
ket. With the incoming settlers, more
and more land is being fenced and put
into crop and the stockmen, who for
years have had all of Uncle Sans big
pastures to roam in, are being crowd
ed out. Several local sheep-men are
expecting to sell out this fall and go
in for dry-farming on a large scale.
The wonderful crops OF the dry
farmer have aroused the stockman
from his apathy, and he is going to
try 1t for himself. Wheat and oats
are shoulder high.
This section Of the northwest is es-
pecially favored. 1t has had twenty
inches of rainfall, while dry-farming
can be carried on successful with
but twelve inches. The average for
the state of Montana is about fifteen
inches a year. The difference is very
noticeable, especially this year when,
in some portions Of the state, crops
are suffering for lack of moisture.
There Is stil some land open for
filing In this section, and the Black
feet reservation, near by, will soon be
thrown open for settlement. In TAX
Ing up land on the reservation, the
homesteader win have to pay the APP
praised price to the Blackfeet Indians.

ATTEMPTS
At RESCUE
Eight Perished in Corridors at
Hamilton, Ont.
Firemen Work Desperately to
Save Them
One Lunatic Knocked Uncon-
ciouS and Saved

Hamilton, Ont, Aug. lat least
eight and perhaps ten lives were lost
In a FIRE which partly destroyed one OF
the main buildings Of the insane asy-
lum on the side of mountain In the
southwestern part of the city early to-
day. There were 800 patients in the
building when the fire was discovered.
There are four buildings in the group
within the asylum grounds. The fire
occurred In the main building, which
is occupied by women patients num-
bering $50. The remainder OF the
building was made up of wards and
contained some Of the most desperate
cases In the asylum.
The women were moved without SER
ious difficulty to adjoining buildings.
The situation among the men was more
serious
The fire broke out on the fourth floor
in what is known as section "D'', where
the violent insane are kept. Most OF
the men, guarded by attendants, NOV
ed down three flights of stairs out OF
the fire zone in orderly procession but
about a score driven into a frenzy by
the sitting smoke and the excitement
OF midnight fire fought off their
rescuers with desperate fury. Three OF
them, after being carried down to the
second floor, broke away and fed back
to the blazing corridors. The asylum
brigade, although lighting bravely were
handicapped by the maniacs and were
losing control.
The city brigade, which had been
summoned, was then toiling UP the al
most precipitous roadway leading to
the asylum grounds. 1t was nearly 2
o'clock before the first Of their appara-
tus was brought into play.
The fremen ran scaling ladders up
to the third and fourth floor windows,
where 1t was believed some Of the un-
fortunates had fed. They found IL
difficult work to break down the iron
gratings on the windows and the fire
In the meantime was growing fiercer
every minute.
Crawling into the sitting smoke the
hremen grouped their way about until
they found maniac. He was stiIl able
TO offer resistance and it was necessary
to knock him senseless, when he was
dropped into the life nets below.
Eight Of the insane and one attenda
ant who had lost consciousness In the
work OF rescue were saved and 1t was
believed at o'clock that every pa
tient had been taken out of the burning
section of the building.
AS the fremen worked their way into
the burned section Of third and fourth
floors, bodies were found. Three were
in the hallway on the top floor and one
helpless paralytic was burned to death
in his cell.
Four more corpses were found hud-
died together in asmall room. Tillernan

his sixth broke from his grasp at the
window and fed back into the flames.
The fire is believed to have been
caused by short circuit on electric wire
