DR.. Hamilton Wright, who with Lloyd

Cd the United States at the recent opium
conference there. has returned to WASH

Moore orally the results Of his mission.
Considering that the United States ini-

Wright felt that the results obtained at

SO far as the United States Is concerned

the general convention designed to pre-
vent traffic in habit-forming drugs, and
to enact certain bills now pending In

that treaty.
Thirty-Five Have Signed.

that up to date thi,ty-five governments
