OPIUM IS Being

Army officer makes Raid and

Opium is being sold openly over the

Captain Weiss is the officer who has
been detailed TO clean up Oahu aud
make Honolulu At place for soldiers
to visit. II is his announced intention
to cleanse the city Of bootleggers,
drug vendors and Others who debauch
soldiers, and also 10 put an effectual
stop TO the practise Of buying parts
Of soldiers uniforms. 49,. p.
Saturday night Captain Weiss, ac-
companied only by one non-commis-
stoned officer, took atlook,around. :,
Tie had heard that opium was being
| C'rpensed at Kabuku, so, attired III
c! ilian clothes, he entered the store
of the Chinese. On the end of the bar
he saw tin of opium, from which the
proprietor measured out small amounts
20 such as deposited the necessary coin
on the countel. No apparent attempt
at coneealment was made. 'sI
| Thinking that perhaps there might
/ be a large reserve stock of the dream
dope on the premises, Captain Weiss
started in to search for IL. Trouble
broke out instantly. The 200 or more
Chinese in the place assumed threat
ening attitude and Captain Weiss was
compelled to draw his revolver. Even
this did not deter them sufficiently
but a shot fred over their heads from
the ugly looking weapon tanned them
However, the WHY opium seller
either did not have large stock on
hand, or had 1t well enough concealed
SO that, under the circumstances, II
could not be found.
The raid Saturday, however, was
only the first move in campaign
which Captain Weiss says will not be
dropped until the island has beer
cleaned up and the scoundrels who fol-
a little money are willing to debauch
Uncle Sans soldiers are put out OF
business or behind prison bars. s IS
