New York. April 5.-Two tons Of
obscene books and pictures werc
seized today by special agents of the
department Of justice in a Thirty
eighth street tenement house. The

the country.
The government agents said that the
place had been for several years q

them amendable to government inter-
ference.

Quoted his business, it is said, at a
