OPIUM TRUST
F0RSBKES
JUAREz
The New Anti-opium Law
Proves Troublesome to
Large Smugglers.
HAS BEEN A BIG
BUSINESS IN PAST

Juarez is no longer a distributing
point for the opium smuggling trust,
the existence OF which has just been
revealed in Chicago and san Fran
cisco.
In former years Juarez has been the
center Of the Illicit opium trade Tor
the entire Mexican border between Il
Paso and Nogales. Opium was shipped
in large quantities from China TO Mex
leo by the opium ring which had It's
exporting headquarters in Macao,
Portuguese port on the Chinese coast
The cOntraband HOP" was billed 10
northwest Canadian ports and west
coast ports Of Mexico From these
points it was taken inland and snug
gled acrOs the Canadian and Mexican
line into the United States
Much of this opium was shlpped 70
Juarez, where i was distributed Dy
agents and middlemen Of the trust to
the smaller dealers who arranged FOR
il to be smuggled across the inteIna-
tional line here and west of Fl Paso.
Anti Opium Law In Force.
But the state Of Chihuahua now has
e rigid anti-opium law which pro
hfbits its sale in that state Before the
passage Of this law the opium dealers
big and little, piled their trade With
out interruption except for an Occa-
sionaI @sWeeting,' which they had TO
give the local officials in the towns
where the business was conducted Now
opium raids are frequent IN Juarez ana
quantities Of the gummy hop have Deen
taken form the Chinese, Mexican ana
American dealers and destroyed. It
was formerly an open custom for the
trust agents to ship the opium c. o. D.
10 the Juarez banks and allow the lit
tie fellows to take it cut as they could
dispose OF It conveniently.
Banks Refuse TO Handle Hop.
Now the banks are said to have re-
fused TO handle the stuff and the
big dealers are afraid to invest their
money in the opium and take a chance
on II being seized by the Juarez Of
ficials A quantity Of the opium was
recently shipped back to TOrreOn in
the state Of COahuila where no anti
opium law exists
TOrreom Now the Center.
Torreon has been made the dis
tributing point for the hop and It is
now sent from that town, II is said 70
different places along the border to
be smuggled into the United States.
Only small quantities are sent to Jua-
rez under the new traffic arrange
ment and these shipments are billed d.
rect to the smugglers themselves.
The men who have been known to
carry on the Illicit business on a large
scale many Of whom are well known
in FL Paso, have Withdrawn for the
present The customs officials in Fl
Paso are no longer forced to watch the
big fellows as well as the petty snug
lers for the only traffic in the con-
traband dream stuff is now believed
