This has kept up from the very first cold
spell OF carly winter until now warmer
weather has cut the number TO about

1t was noted by some of the patients
in the hospital that during the coolest
weather some of these hungry people

SEES DOPE PROBLEM ENDED
Collector of Customs Says En-
forcement Of Federal Law Will
Cause Less Crime.
DEALERS IN OPIUM PROSECUTED

Collector Of Customs Cadet Taylor de-
clares that federal dope" laws are doing
incalculable good and are solving ter
rible problem as no other force on earth
could.
1T would seem now that we have
ample antelope laws both federal and
state, to meet the situation" he said
"As collector of customs l have caused
warrants to be issued in about twenty
one opium cases in this district during
the last year-eighteen in Omaha and
three in Lincoln. Conviction is so GER
tain that In every case reached pleas OF
guilty were filed. The new laws. how
ever, will reach the real parties who
have been selling dope. II has been
known for a long time that certain So
called drug stores were selling opium, but
unfortunately the law did not reach
them. They were commercialixing a vice.
New Means OF Enforcement.
with the customs laws still in force,
and with the cooperation Of the internal
revenue officers charged with the en-
forcement OF the new federal law of
March l. and the city authorities Of the
law just signed by Governor Morehead,
have no doubt that great change for
the better will soon appear. Had the
public recognized the real danger to so
ciety from this terrible habit the new
laws would have been passed long ago
During the last year or more this office
has had the hearty cooperation Of the
Omaha police department The new laws
both state and national. have the cordial
/ approvaI of every one who has haer
brought in contact with the victims Of
dope. There now win be a decrease ir
crimes, housebreaking for plumbing fix
lures, etc. in Omaha and other Nebrasks

some of the $500 of gorgeously green ten
dollar bills last year for Ak-Sar-Ben.
When the committee was duly organized
and the teams chosen, there was a
scramble from the table to get out and
get members.
In some FIFTEEN minutes after the said
scrambling, E. l. Potter strutted into
