Drug In New York

New York, June 2S.-Three hundred
pounds of opium with an estimated
value of $4,000 to $4,000 was seized
here after the arrest of Coon Chong,
an A-mericanized Chinese. The police
said it was the largest seizure ever
made in this city.
One hundred and fifty pounds was
seized at first. Assistant United States
District Attorney Pitkin did not be-
lieve there was enough proof against
Coon, so detectives went to Goons
house, and there, under a bed, In a
closet and in a bureau they found an
other $50 pounds of the drug. Coon
was locked up in police headquarters.
A search was started at once for
men suspected of distributing the
opium. Several arrests are likely.
The police have known for some time
that there was a leak of opium from
Chinatown to eastern cities, but up to
a short time ago were not able to trace
it here owing to the clever methods
used by traffickers in the drug. Then

the business than they had supposed.
Chong came back fro4 San Francis
co about two months ago, where he
had gone to be married, and brought
his Chinese wife back with him. He
lives on. the top floor of 1876 Worth
street and Is known as a successful
merchant. Detectives trailed him from
his restaurant to his home and to the
store of O'Neill & Collins at IT'S Cham
: bers street, where the Chinese buy
their chickens.
A few days ago they heard that
Chong had some of the drug hidden In
the poultry store, and they went there
to investigate. They were told that
Chong had asked permission to leave a
box there for a short time and that 1t
was supposed to contain crockery of
some kind. 1t was marked "Glass,
handle with care" Inside the detec-
tives found $50 pounds Of gum opium
In the shape In which 1t is imported
from China, wrapped In leaves.
While they were looking 1t over
Chong came In and was ARRESTED. He
did not know anything about opium.
The box had been given him to TAX
care of, he said. He was taken to
police headquarters and then to Com
missioner Shields Office and turned
over to the federal authorities. The
detectives went to his rooms at 1875
Worth street, and his wife opened the
door. They told her that Chong Tas
busy and couldn't get around, but that
he had sent them for opium. Then
Mrs. Chong hauled out from under the
bed seventy-fve pounds Of raw opium,
fifty pounds of the cooked product
ready for the pipe and thirty pounds
Of yen chez, Or opium that has been
smoked and Is used again.
