The best detective genius available
is matching wits with the expert
crooks who took the $4,000 worth OF
gems almost under the nose OF the
summer colony. Rival agencies with in
ternational regulations as thief setters
have been engaged by Mrs. Rumsey
and Mrs Hanan. Every pier on Nara

belief TINT the thieves, operating az
gentlemen. are sauntering about the

Upon Possibility Of Persuad-
ing Wheeler to Accept.

The election OF a president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States will not be held until every effort

Wheeler, of Chicago. to accept the po-
ton for another year.
Mr.. Wheeler has declined to accept
the place in spite of the unanimous re-
tUest of the Chamber members and the
appeal of President Taft. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Wheeler bases his re-
fusal largely on the fact tlat the work
of the Chamber takes too much time

up with the authorities Of the Chicago

DRUGGISTS FAVOR
ANIECOCA|NE BILL
Congress Expected to Pass
Measure Next Session, Since
Withdrawal Of Opposition.

Legislation that will effectualIy stop
general traffic in opium, cocaine. and
similar drugs, is probable at the present
session of Congress, owing to the action
of the National Drug Trades Confer
ence representing the National Associa-
ton Of Manufacturers of Medicine Prod
ucts. the National Wholesale Druggists
Association, the National Retail Drug
gists' Association, and the American
Pharmaceutical Association. in with
drawing opposition to such legislation,
and giving their Endorsement to the bill
introduced in the House by Represeta-
tive Francis Burton Harrison.
The Harrison bill provides a heavy
penalty for the sale or handling of such
drugs by any person not registered and
licensed TO sell them. An annual license
tax is provided for the registration of all
druggists, both wholesale and retail.
1t is believed by Internal Revenue
officials that through the Operations of
such a law they will be able to trace
all narcotic drugs from their entry into
the United States to their ultimate con-
sumption. 1t is the aim of this legisla-
ton to stop illcgitimate use.
