SMOKING OPIUM FOUND
IN ROOM OF CHINAMAN
Moy You, Placed Under Arrest. Says
He Bought It for His Own
Use Only.

Six ounces of smoking opium were
found in the room of Moy You. sew
enty years old, on the second floor
of 31S Pennsylvania avenue northwest,
last night by Special Agent Thomas
Stone of the internal revenue depart
ment and the police. The Chinaman
was arrested on a similar charge about
year ago and released on bond, and
the authorities have paid attention to
him since that time.
Pharmacy Inspector r. A. Sanders has
visited Chinatown many times during
recent months to learn if the residents
were violating the opium law and only
four days ago searches were made in
some of the buildings.
The searches followed the statement
of Lee Bow, Chinaman under arrest
in Baltimore. who declared he had
made purchases in this city. Nothing
was found at that time to warrant an
arrest it is stated, but last nights
visit ended in the arrest of Moy You.
II bought the opium for my own use,
was the statement of Moy You in
whose room three opium pipes were
found.
The prisoner was arraigned before
United States Commissioner Isaac X.
Hit this morning. The case was con-
tinued until December ), and bond was
fixed at $1,000.

BELMONT PLEADS
FOR A STRONGER NAVY.
Issues Statement From Offices of
Navy League, Saying Democrats
Are Committed to the Subject.

A plea for a strong navy is made to-
day by Perry Belmont in a statement
issued in his name from the offices OF
the Navy League. Mr. Belmont. as
chairman of Nav League delegation
at the Baltimore democratic national
convention. worked for plank in the
platform favoring a council of national
defense. and now declares the party is
committed by the plank to a full con-
sideration of the subject
The statement SAYS:
THE most obvious lesson OF condi-
tions in Europe is that il is dangerous
to any country for its government to
indulge in the spirit OF prophecy and
10 act upon the theory that the terrors
of warfare must result in the abolish
ment of all wars.
England, for instance, probably on
account of her geographical position
did not prepare for a continental war
Lord Haldane had said We must pre-
pare for the reasonably probable
meaning peacel rather than Tor the
logically possible tmeaning war;.
England Might Have Prevented War
Had the government OF England
needed the warnings of Field Marshal
Roberts and other military experts
there undoubteil% woull have been a
great saving OF English lives. Many,
including Austen Chamberlain, are now
convinced that had England been
ready to land a vel! equipped army of
half million trained men upon the
continent there .would have been no
war.
'lt is fortunate that the democratic
party at Baltimore declared in favor
of a council of national defense. there
by committing itself to the considera-
tion of a subject now demanding atten-
ton, nor can it be assumed that the
obligation then entered into is to be
regarded as mere scrap OF paper.
The present Con nSfess has undertaken
legislation requiring time ana legisla-
tive labor of the most eNacting nature
The construction of a body such as
council of national defense, to be com
posed of Legislative and executive Of
fcers, including military and naval ex-
perts, having jurisdiction OF the sub
Ject of national defense, is OF compare
lively easy accomplishment. 1t would
conform to the growing tendency of a
closer official intercourse between the
executive and Legislative branches of
the government and would bring about
in prompt, effective and non-partisan
manner a thorough and needed investi-
cation of our present condition of ma
tional defense. \ continuity of policy
thus inaugurated would promote econ
omies that are otherwise impossible
and create an increased efficiency in
our naval and military establishments"

WOULD SHORTEN ITS ROUTE.
Metropolitan Coach Company Would
Discontinue Service to 9Th Street.

The Metropolitan Coach Company tn-
day requested the public utilities e'-s-
mission that it be allowed to di.c"n-
tinue it's coach service to Sth street
and Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
which it has been operating since May
1, and that it be allowed to continue
the sale of $4,000 bonds at 6 per
cent.
The coach company states that il de-
sires TO terminate the service at 18th
street and Pennsylvania avenue, which
was the end of the route prior to tn"
granting of permission TO continue the
service to sth street and Pennsyivanla
avenue northwest.
