Five Violations of Narcotic
Law of 1915 Charged
to X. f. Ii
CASE ONE OF SEVERAL,
SAYS REVENUE COLLECTOR
Campaign to Wipe Out Illicit
Traffic in Cocaine and
Other Drugs Pushed

With revenue officers In possession
of a prescription for rational cure
OF the opium habit which, they
claim, converts a user OF the poppy
drug into a morphine and cocaine
fiend, DIR. X. F. Lie, weliknown local
Chinese physician. was arrested just
before / o'clock today on complaint
sworn to by Collector ]. F. Haley,
charging him with five distinct viola-
tions of the Harrison Narcotic Act,
which became effective on March l,
1915. The prescription, according to
the evidence OF the feueraI sleuths, Is
one of LIS.
In the arrest OF DR.. Il, Collector
Haley and his deputies believe they
have taken another step forward In
their campaign to wipe out the Illicit
traffic in cocaine. morphine and other
drgus in Honolulu. which campaign
began with the taking effect Of the
Harrison act. When the campaign
was begun, It was pointed out today,
the drug stores In Honolulu showed
monthly sale sof narcotics to habitnes
amounting to 5000. Today $lO0
would cover the monthly sales.
Colleeior Haley states that the Dr.
Ii case Is only one OF several similar
cases which may be opened up at any
time He points out that his otfice
is In possession OF Lr. Las records OF
sales, many Of which are alleged to be
under fictitious names, and also
prescription known as a rational
cure. FOR the opium habit. According
TO Haley, this prescription, when
taken by an opium fiend, will trans
form him into a morphine and cocaine
fiend.
In the revenue offices fight against
the illicit drug traffic, Haley says
that he and his deputies have had the
cooperation Of the Medical Society
and many of the local physicians. As
a result of the departments fight
illicit cocaine is now selling at S21 an
ounce and the smuggling OF the drug
also has decreased to a marked ex-
tent.
The first charge in the complaint
against DR.. Ii is that he dispensed 90
grains of cocaine to one Maize Tor

without keeping a record OF such
sales. II is also alleged that he sold
40 grains Of morphine sulphate to

ISHIHARA TAKES
PICTURE
WHO WAS STOLEN
Kauai Japanese Gets Girl Who
Had a Temporary -. J..
.' . Husband

Shoden lshihara, whose picture
bride" was stolen from the U. s. i'm
migration station last Saturday, took
her back yesterday and the bogus
husband who suB&dtuted himself at a
psychological moment-for him-ap-
parently is going to go scotfree.
The outraged husband was not out
ragged enough in feeling to call bis
countryman, Toyama, out for a duel,
and so far the immigration officials
have made no known move to arrest
Toyama for the ruse by which he stole
the pretty 19-year-old Ushi from the
U. S. station.
Inspector .Halsey would not say
this morning whether Toyama would
be arrested. :
Toyama, who was the husband Of
Ushi for about two days and half,
is back at his plantation work at
Heeia, according to information form
Japanese sources today. Ishihara and
his wife were at the Komeya Hotel
this morning, friends said. ~ .
Ishihara told Star-Bulletin report
er today that he has taken back his
wife and they will live happily here
after. He says he will take her 70
his home on Kauai. Though apparent
ly angry at Toyama, his wrath does
not appear to be sufficient either to
reject his wife or take steps to punish
the man who stole her before the
American ceremony was performed.
v. S. Officials Retieent.
When asked for statement at noon
today, Richard L. Halsey, U. S. inspec.
tor in charge of the federal immigra.
tion station, said he is. not in a posi-
tion to say anything about the case.
Halsey refused to say whether his
office has sworn out a warrant against
Toyama for falsifying the marriage
records. "The matter is still under
investigation" was all he would say
for publication.
According to federal authorities, the
U. S: immigration station here has
positive evidence that the girl in the
case, Ushi IShihara, wrote to Toyama
after she landed here, and that both
know each other very well. lshihara
says Toyama is a relative of the girl.
From an authoritative source it was
lcdIucu IOOds LudI lHoLCdu vi duOuSI-
ing the girl, Toyama married her be-
cause Ishihara had written her not
to come to Honolulu, as he did not
want her to become his wife, having
changed his mind.
New Angle to Story. :..
The girl, according to this version,
after She received the letter from the
intended husband telling her not to
come to Honolulu, wrote to Toyama
from her home in Japan and told him
how matters we're and that she did
not want to marry 1shihara, either.
Toyama is said to have replied in a
letter advising the girl to come to
Honolulu anyway and marry him if
she did not like the idea Of marrying
her intended husband according to
schedule
The girl came to this city. after
which Toyama showed up at the i'm.
migration station. claiming to be Ishi-
kawa or Ishihara. Had he given his
rightful name and explained to the
immigration authorities how matters
stood, there would have been no trou-
BILE and they could have been mar
ried without breaking any immigra
tion laws, it is said.

N. &. OFFICER !.
CALLED To war
FROM VACATION
Major CoW Arrives on Lurline
and Departs on MatSonia
For Mexican Border

He sailed into Honolulu and then.
sailed right out again. Such was the.
experience todaysof Maj. Donald Cowi
of the New York National Guard and
his wife, who were On their beaey-
moon 20 Honolulu son the Matson
steamer Ltirline but are now steam
ing rapidly back to San Francisco on
the Matsonia to answer the call of
war. :.s.--.. -. ...s ...... , p
Two weeks ago Mai Cowl, a
wealthy New York business man, was
married ands started for Honolulu to
spend his honeymoon. Everything
was lovely until three days out of San
Francisco when the God of War got
busy and started trouble down on the
Mexican border, and on the heels of
that President Wilson called the state
national guards to arms. Maj. Cowl
was rujeiy awakened from his dreams
by a wireless ordering him to join his
regiment on the border. ...- !.
What Maj. Cowl said when he re-
ceived the message has been strictly
censored by the war office, but orders
are orders and he was forced to- i'm
mediately get busy and arrange for
transportation back to San Francisco.
He wirelessed to the Canadian-Austra-
lasian office here and to the T. K. K.
office but no boats were leaving for
several days and then word came that
the Matsonia would leave the same
day that the Lurline arrived at Homo
lulu. Preparations were immediate
ly made for the transfer and as the
Lurline came steaming into the har-
Dor this morning the major and his
blushing bride were swung overheard
into a waiting launch and rushed
aboard the Matsonia as she slid from
her berth at Pier Is. 1t was estimated
by Purser r Fl. Levey that Cowl
spent over 500, in arranging for
transportation. -.
This sudden stopping of the honey
moon and the fact that they would
not be able to set foot on the island
of Oahu greatly amused but aroused
the sympathies of the other passen-
gers on the Luriine and as Mai. Cowl
and his wife left the Lurline to catch
the Matsonia they were showered
with rice and confetti.
1t is hoped that Maj. Cowl will re.
ceive many medals for bravery on the
border in compensation for the brok-
en- honeymoon.
