MAILS DOPE PACKAGE;
NABBED BY INSPECTOR
Wholesale Drug Vender's Arrest
Here May Lead to Capture of
Patrons.

An attempt to send a seven-pound
package of cocaine. opium. heroin and
derivatives through the registered mail
was frustrated at the postofiice by Chief
Postal Inspector Cortelyou. 1t was ad-
dressed to a woman in Baltimore.
Joseph Hart, of Darien street near
Vine. the man who registered the pack
age. was apprehended last night by the
postal authorities and locked up in the
11th and Winter streets police station,
He is believed to be wholesale drug
dealer. doing business especially with
drug distributors in the South.
Seven pounds of drugs is the largest
amount ever confscated by the Federal
authorities here at one time, Chief
Cortelyou said he believes he has uncov-
cred the source from which drug ped
dlers in Richmond, Baltimore, Roanoke
and other Southern cities have been OBJ
tanning large supplies of dope
Letters found in the mans pockets and
In his room containing orders for various
quantities of drugs indicate that he did
an extensive business.
An order from the Baltimore woman for
the package removed from the mails yes
terday, stating the precise amount de-
sired. was also found.
Hart has been under suspicion. but
worked cautiously, and before his arrest
last night had foiled every attempt to
trap him. His record as vender of drugs
has not been completely investigated, and
the Federal authorities refused to talk
about his operations in the "Tenderloin."
The letters found on Hart will lead to
many arrests in the South, and the Bal
timore police have been instructed to ar
rest the woman to whom he addressed the
package Her name was not disclosed
for fear that she might in some way re-
ceive warning and escape.

MAYOR RDTCULES

Blankenburg Calls Proposal to
Buy Back Belgium From Ger

Mayor Blankenburg IN letter made
public today characterized John Wanna

Oe,O00O00 for Belgium az midsummer

ne treated with as much seriousness ae

which whied away many an hour in our

All the money In circulation at the
present time, the Mayor writes, would
not be sufficient to pay one years inter-
est on the ransom" money. which ex-
ceeds by S55,OO0,00O, 600 the national debt
Of all the nations before the war and
which would increase our per capita in
terest from q cents to $40 and our per
capita debt from SlO50 TO $1,000 The letter
reads:
Let us anRiyze the midsummer
cream OF the Honorable John Wan
amaker, to pay a hundred thousand
million dollars 100000. 900 OOO) for the
restoration Of Belgium to it's king and
people. a proposition that should be
treated with as much seriousness as
the Arabian Nights tales or the fables
which whiled away many an hour In
our childhood days.
The national debt contracted during
the Civil War, from 1851 to 1856
amounted to about 81, 700, 10000; the
ransom for Belgium after one years
war would be So times this amount.
our present national debt, on which
we pay from to per cent. interest,
is about $l.O25.OOOOOO. with interest
charges OF S23,OOO,OOO Mr.. Wana-
makers generous proposition Ito
whomO would increase our debt
nearly hundred times, and interest
charges, taking per cent. per annum
as the lowest rate at which any con-
siderable loan could be negotiated,
from s23,0OO0OO to $1,000 900 year,
or 1I3 times. The per capita interest
would be Increased from % cents TO
SiO and the per capita debt from
S1050 to $l000
All the money in circulation at this
time. gold. silver and paper, 81, ,450. .O00,-
900, would not suffice to pay one years
interest of A,00O,000000 on Mr.. Wana-
makers dream. We would have to
borrow 55O.OOOO00 every year to make
up the deficit and where could we get
It?
The newly proposed national debt
would be nearly 10 times as great as
the cost OF the 100000 miles of railroad
we have built in the last so years, in
cluding the total equipment
The national debt Of all the nations
of the world amounted, before the
present war, to about $4,000, 100000, or
$550O0, 100000 less than the debt Mr..
Wanamaker would place upon this
single nation of ours. have always
been generous. but my generosity
pales; am almost speechless!
The total interest charges on the
debt of all the nations of the world
amount to about S1,750.O000O0 year.
We would. under the Wanamaker
plan, at per cent. annual interest
of course, provided we could borrow
the money-have to pay S2,250.0OOO 900
more interest year on a loan that
would not benefit us in any, not even
the slightest degree than all other
nations combined.
