Says Drugs Made in
U. S. Are Struggled
Back After Export
China Club Secretary From
Seattle Here to Consult
Physicians i'm Move to
Amend the Harrison Act

William McKibben, secretary of the
China Club Of Seattle, announced yes
terday that he had come to New York
to consult leading physicians with a
view to amending the Harrison mar
cotic act, which, he said, is so seriously
defective that it is virtually making
drug addcts by the thousands in this
and other countries.
Mr.. McKibben, who is at the Meal
pin, says that nearly all the drugs that
are being secretly purveyed in this
country are smuggled back here after
having been sent abroad. This dis
covery, he says, came about through
the China Clubs investigation of com
plants about American drugs reaching
China through Japan.
eve found that incalculable quanti-
ties Of drugs are being exported
through Seattle" said Mr.. McKibben,
"ostensibly for use in Japan. This is
legal, as under the Harrison act mar
cotics can be shipped to any country
that has its own acts controlling the
drug trade. Japan has such a law, but
much of the opium sent there, we find,
anese control in China. and thence to
the Chinese people.
"We found also that much of the
drugs shipped abroad WAS coming
back to this country smuggled in for
illegal use. 1t is virtually impossible
to organize any drug traffic under
other conditions in this country Every
ounce manufactured is carefully traced
through the wholesaler, the druggist
and even the physician administering
the dose. But when drugs are bought
for shipment abroad the manufacturers
here have no recourse under the law
but to allow the purchase to be made.
I'm this way enormous shipments
are made. not only to China, but to
Canada and Mexico, and are smuggled
back into this country. The smuggling
is done so cleverly and the parcels are
so small that it would require an army
of customs officials to stop the traffic
Consequently, the drugs shipped out of
here are coming back in alarming
quantities.
81 venture to assert that 80 per cent
of the drugs dealt in illegally in this
country have been so smuggled in after
having been manufactured here and
out Of the country. This sit
uation seems to call for legislation
remedying matters, and it is on that
subject that am in New York"

DECIDE TO PETITION
Will Ask State to Survey Pro-
posed Road. .' ....: ..-s.

There was a fairly representative
gathering, from the country as we'll
as the town, at the good roads meet.
lng 10 Rathdrum Monday evening, to
discuss plans for anancing the few
miles survey for the proposed route OF
the north and south highway between
hathdrum and Twin Lakes and
between Rathdrum and the Apple
way. 1t was decided that a petition
be prepared and another meeting ba
held to awaken further interest in
the matter and to secure signatures
OF all persons on the proposed route
who favor a state highway through
Rathdrum.
Such petition would be forwarded
TO the governor. and 1t is believed it
would impress the state road officials
with the fact that this route is not
only feasible one, but that 1T IL
demanded by and would serve more
people than any other route on the
way into Bonner county. Since the
state has not yet surveyed any route
throughithe north part OF this county,
IL is argued that the petition would
result 10 the survey being made hy
the state. The present problem would
thus'he solved.
j. p. Isaacs OF Spirit Lake was
present at the meeting and depart
after explaining what had been done
recently in Kootenai and Bnnnpr
counties aod giving his Views con
cerning the favorable attitude OF the
governor toward this route. Colonel

the interest OF RathdrulA which had
been looked after 10 its preliminary
stages. by Geo. w. Flemming, gave
