SIX CAUGHT IN RAID
ON COCAINE DEALERS
Five Men and a Woman Arrest
ed and Large Quantity Of
Drugs Seized.

Five men and woman were ar
rested early today by Acting Detectives
Weckesser and Ernest, os the 10th and
Buttonwood station, in a cocaine raid at
1909 Spring Garden street. marked by
weird adventures and stumbling through
dark corridors. Weckesser incidentally
took his life in his hands to cross from
a fourth-foor fre-escape of an adjoining
building into window OF the house
raided.
The prisoners are said to have come
from New York in a general exodus from
that city of cocaine and heroin peddlers
following numerous raids Weckesser and
Ernest caught two of the men leaving
the place when they reached the house
this morning. Each was discovered to
have large quantity of cocaine in his
possession.
The two acting detectives then tried to
get into the house, but were refused ad-
mttance. Accordingly, Weckesser ran
into the adjoining house and got out on
the fire escape at the fourth floor. Lean
ing far out, he was able to open window
in 1909 and crawl through. In the mean
time Ernest rang the door bell of the
house at 1909 and engaged the woman in
side in an argument.
Weckesser found the fourth and third
floors vacant and pitch dark. He crept
cautiously to the second floor, momen-
tarily expecting to be attacked. In spite
of his efforts to move quietly the floors
and stairways creaked with every step
She took. He had just landed on the sec
ond floor when man popped out of a
doorway Weckesser covered him with a
revolver and forced him to- walk down
stairs ahead of him.
When the woman on the first floor saw
the two coming downstairs she gave up
and admitted Ernest. Another search OF
the house then was made, and another
man and woman were found. The
police say they found the largest quantity
of cocaine and heroin ever found in one
raid in the house.
The prisoners are Lon Phelps, Harry
Lawrence, George Smith, Louis Stein,
Walter Weaver and Annie Riley.

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST.

So-called stomach troubles, such as in
digestion. wind and stomachache are in
probably nine cases out Of ten simply evi-
dence that fermentation is taking place in
the food contents of the stomach, causing
the formation of gas and acids. Wind dis
tends the stomach and causes that full, op-
pressive feeling sometimes known as heart
burn. while the acid irritates and inflames
the delicate lining of the stomach The
trouble lies entirely in the fermenting food.
such fermentation is unnatural and acid
formation is not only unnatural, but NAV
involve most serious consequences If not
corrected. To stop or prevent fermentation
of the food contents of the stomach and to
neutralize the acid and render 1t bland and
harmless, teaspoonful OF bisurated mag
nesia. probably the hest and most effec.
tive corrector OF acid stomach known, should
be taken in quarter Of q glass Of hot
or cold water Immediately after eating or
whenever wind or scidity is felt This stops
the fermentation and neutralzes the acidity
in few moments Fermentation, wind and
acidty are dangerous and unnecessary. stop
or prevent them by the use of proper
antacid, such as bsurated magnesia, which
ca be obtained from any druggist and thus
enable the stomach to do its work properly
without being hindered by poisonous gas and
dangerous acids.-M. +. P.-Adv.

AT THE THEATRES
PALACE.

Today and Friday The Woman"
Paramount picture produced by Jesse
L. Lasky, with a special all-star cast
including Theodore Roberts, Mabel
Van Buren and Lois Meredith.
"The Woman" by William C. De
Mile, originally produced in dramatic
form by David Belasco, positively de-
serves to rank as one of the few fore
most American dramas written on
strictly American subject matter. 1t
has a well deserved initial engage
ment OF an entire season in New York,
and continued actively on tour for
several years thereafter.
"The Woman" contains a fasCinat-
ing combination Of political and do
mestic intrigue Jim Blake is the
boss of one OF the great political rings
at Washington, and is doing his ut
most to pass a bill that will wrongly
favor the railroads. He Is opposed
by a young reformer by the name
Of Matthew Standish The sympathy
of the public is so clearly with Stand
ish that Blake sees his bill will be
doomed to failure unless something
can be done to dlscredit his opponent.
He hires detectives and discovers that
there was once an affair between
Standsh and a woman, and that they
did not marry With this to work on,
Blake makes a tremendous effort to
get the womans name, confirm the
story and have it printed in a lead
ing newspaper.
Subsequent events show the manner
in which this plot is foiled by a brave
little telephone switchboard operator,
who refuses to be intimated or bribed.
The great dramatic surprise comes
with the revelation Of the identity OF
The Woman"
This is positively one Of the strong
est, finest, most sympathetic Amer
lean photo dramas ever produced.
