Mr.. McGhee was sent here by John

to buy all the rifles he can with
which to arm the Irish volunteers.
The arms are not to fight England

The purpose is to defend Ireland. And
we want our own soldiery to do that,

HUGE OPIUM HUNT STAGED
Police and Federal Officers Rake
Old Tenderloin for Stuff.
PART OF A NATIONWIDE PROBE
Omaha Believed to be One OF COun-
try's Big DistributIOn Points
for the smuEgled
COntraband.

Directed by a special representative Of
the United States customs office. police
and federal officials searched the old
tenderloin district last night for contra
band opium believed TO be in the hands
Of distributing agents here.
The officers visited the Chinese stores,
restaurants and homes along Ninth and
Tenth streets and Capitol avenue. When
they finished these. the police sought out
negroes known to use the drug. The
raid netted a pound of confiscated gum
opium, worth, perhaps, $40.
The government officers have informa-
ton that raw opium. brought from the
orient into Canada and Mexico and
smuggled into this country. is forwarded
70 several large cities for distribution
Omaha, the officers say, is one of the
largest distributing points. and two
young Americans are said to be the
agents of the smugglers for this locality.
These two whose identity, the officers
say, is unknown to them, receive the
drug and then carry 1t in person to re-
sponsible Chinese merchants, who dis
tribute it to the retailers"
The two are now being sought by the
federal authorities. 1t is said that no
longer than two weeks ago an enormous
supply of uneooked opium was brought
into Nebraska by them When they
were here, officers learned that they
stopped at downtown hotel and lived
in regal style. Both are inveterate users
of the stuff, but managed to conceal
their habit from tho hotel management.
Cadet Taylor, local surveyor Of GUS
toms, says that the investigation here Is
a part OF a nationwide probe being con-
Quoted by the government, which is de-
termined to break up the opium ring. A
law which recently went into effect pro-
vides fine of 5000 and five years i'm
prisonment, not only for selling, but
smoking also, has given customs officers
wide powers.
A week ago police officers raided an
opium den on North Eleventh street and
