KING LEE MADE
WEALTHY ny DOPE
Il am convinced that 4 few stiff
sentences. especially In tho cases Of
the most notorious pesidisrs. would
go far toward putting the fear Of tho
iaw into the hearts Of tho fraternity.
and our work would be much easier
and tncomparably moro effective"
| Inspector Damn declared.
Take the case Of King Lee. fcv
example. king Ice n one Of Seat.
ties most notorious offenders. A
couple Of years axo King was = very
ordinary Chinnman. 20 far as po.scs-
sion Of this worlds goods In con.
cerned. lie had suit Of clothes
maybe twc--but little more.
To-day he In the lessee Of q large
apartment house Mt sixth ave. and
Columbia It, and the owner Of the
furnishings therein He made his
money selling dope.
King Leo has been arrested srv.
crni times. each time with the goods
on him. The last time King was
spprchended he was about 10 make
a delivery OF a package OF morphine
10 q police agent He had already
accepted. and had In his possession
nj tho tame. marked IS bill. He
was indicted by the grand jury and
his trial set for October 10. We are
hoping that no viii receive q sen.
tence somewhere near In keeping
with the character OF his crime.
However, for, . like off.nre no
recently got off with fine OF 300
| and costs. King Lee II at present
at liberty on bail. the while he con.
tinues To practice his ncfsrious but
most lucrative svocation Of selling
dope.
There are many cases like that Of
King Lee. many Of them worse IN
character. II In only necessary TO
state that the heaviest fine II Of

continued Inspector Damn, that
compared to getting a commensurate
sentence In cases Of proven violation
Of the narcotic iawA. the mere catch.
Ing OF tho offender " = simple mat.

Tho greatest weapon against the
drug traffic at present would be- a
comprehensive publicity campaign.
according 10 Inspector Damn.
Tn fact I am convinced" he con-
tinued. that until the great mass Of
the people Of this country are awak-
cned to the terrible menace of the
drug evil as II now exists, nothing
