GOVERNMENT AFTER
ILLICIT DRUG TRADE
MORE THAN 1000 ARRESTS MADE
AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
WORTH SIEZED

New York-(By A. P)-Claiming
virtually to have broken the back of
the illicit drug trade in New York
City, in four months drive, Police
Commissioner Carleton Simon today.
declared war on an international ring
which he charges is responsible for
illegal distribution of dope through
out the United States.
In the antl-narcotic drive trade
here more than 1000 arrests have
been made and millions of dollars
worth of drugs seized
Although the illegal drug trade has
been broken DR.. Simon asserted the
work of his bureau is not only to
continue here but is to be enlarged to
meet the problems in other big cities
in America and abroad
By means of an international bureau
of criminal records now being estab-
l1shed, all data concerning drug
crooks is to be ready for cities where
Leads" pointing to New York might
be uncovered, the commissioner SAID.
Recently he added, Antwerp police
had requested information concern
ing an alleged leader of the interna-
tional ring. 1t was shown by means
Of information furnished by New
York that the man had police records
i'll London, Paris, Brussels ana New
Orleans and had served prison sent
ences at various places aggregating
10 years.
I'VE made more arrests these past
four months than in any "a months
heretofore, said Dr.. Simon, who was
selected to direct the drive because
of his medical training. Every wing
of the metropolitan police department
was coordinated, working in conjunc-
tion with the federal agents. In con-
sequence, "the fear" has been spread
through the army of venders
Before he assumed his job, DR..
Simon said traffic in drugs in New
York had reached an amazing stage.
His first move was to seek to clean
up New York then aid in solving The
drug vending problem in other cities
"a resultant evil of the situation
here.
Squads of special men were spread
to all parts of the greater city, ex-
pert men being picked to patrol the
lower East Side where venders were
even using school children as "go-
betweens" to supply addicts.
Constant watch was kept on in
coming ships where alleged SNUG
glers were resorting to all manner of
tricks to "sneak" the narcotics into
this country. Arrests of persons on
the docks revealed drugs hidden in
arms and limbs; in sau-
sages and clothing Once the anti
force were working syste-
and arrests became fre-
quet, the situation soon gave evi-
dence of being cleared up.
The almost daily raids in the city
reached climax recently in Brook
lyn when agents entered an apart
ment, arrested several persons and
seized drugs worth thousands of dol
lars. The great majority arrested
were "curbstone" vendors

SAYS MRS. ST|LLMAN
IS MOTHER OF INDIAN
SENSATIONAL CHARGES MADE IN
DIVORCE CASE OF NOTED
AMERICAN BANKER

| White Plains, New York-(By A.
P P)-Definite charges that Mrs. Anna
| Stillman, wife of James A. Stillman
president of the National City Bank,
| of New York, said to be the strongest
bank in the United States, was the
mother of child by an Indian guide.
were made in the supreme court here
today by Stillman's counsel during
the preliminary arguments in the di-
vorce suit brought by the bank presi-
dent.
Mrs. StflIman Makes Denial
Mrs. Stillman's counsel declared
that when the case is tried she will
prove her denial of all allegations as
to her fidelity made by Mr.. Stillman.
Stillman Resigned Yesterday
New York, March 22-The resigna-
ton of James A. Stillman as presi-
dent of the National City bank of New
York, having been offered and de-
clined today, the next move in the
sensational divorce case brought by
the banker against his wife remains
a mystery.
Attorneys for Stillman are sched-
uled to appear before Supreme Court
Justice Morschauser tomorrow to
contest an order directing him to ap-
pear for examinatio as to his in
come so that the court may fix ali
mony pending the determination of
the suit. 1t was reported likely, how
ever, that settlement of this phase
of the case might be reached out of
court. In any event, there is little
likelihood of the principals appearing
tomorrow.
Mr.. StiIlman's offer to resign
which was conveyed to the board of
directors of the bank, was considered
in executive session, with Mr. Still
man absent The meeting is said to
have been attended by less than half
the % directors, the absentees in
Guiding Percy Rockefeller, brother
in-law of Mr.. Stillman, and William
Rockefeller, father of Percy o. The
boards decision was unanimous.
The resignation is said to have been
purely formal and to have indicated
no reason for the the offer. That the
bank presidents domestic troubles
might come officially before the di-
rectors was not unexpected in Wall
street which awaited reports from the
conference room with interest.
Bank officials said no formal state
ment would be issued regarding the
boards action
In addition to the question of ali
mony, the court order returnable to-
includes the question Of
council fees for Mrs. Stillman and for
John A. Mack, guardian ad litem for
the child, Guy Stillman, named as CO.
in tho suit with his mothar-
Council for Mrs. Stillman is pre-
pared to ask for a1imony of s120,000
a year, setting forth that Mr. Still |
mans annual income is $80000O !
This claim, opposing council indicat-
ed, would be disputed and an offer
made to continue the present separa-
ton allowance, said to be 100000 2 /
year. Prominence is given in the |
press to the alleged disclosures of |
Mr.. Stillman's private life in this city.

9 YEARS OLD, READS MINDS
Youthful Kentucky Prodigy Hopes to
Support Father and Sisters by
Gift.

Cincinnati. Nellie Corden, nine
years old, who for five years has as
founded all who saw her as q mind
reader, has returned to her home near
Middlesboro KY, after visit of sew
eral days in Cincinnati. Before Mel
lie could read writing, she could read
minds.
Although as a child of five Nellie
could not tell time by reading the nu
merals on the face Of a clock, she
could tell the hour and the minute
by reading the mind of a person who
had just looked at the clock.
Nellie came to Cincinnati to so on
the stage. Her father is out of work
and has five children. He hopes that
Nellie, who is the oldest of five chill
dren, will become rich on the stage
After showing Cincinnati theater men
what the girl could do, father and
daughter returned to their home In the
Kentucky mountains to wait for let
ter from theater manager.
Nellie is in the fifth grade of school,
two years ahead of other children Of
her age. She has bobbed hair and pre-
ternaturally bright gray eyes.

Dog Dies Rather
Than Leave Horse.

Kansas City, Kan.-When a
garage burned here an owner
less dog sacrificed his life to
stay beside a horse that was
his friend. The horse hauled
small ice wagon.
When the horse was bought
the dog was first noticed about
the stable. The little dog had
many friends among the boys
In the neighborhood, but never
failed to pay daily visit to
the horse and sometimes fol-
lowed the wagon on its rounds.
The rapid spread Of the fire
and the fear OF explosions pre-
vented the rescuers from reach
ing the horse.
The dog accompanied each
one who attempted to reach the
horse and was brought back
forcibly several times, but final
ly sprang in alone and made his
way through flames and falling
timbers and died beside his
friend.

Marcus AureuuS.
TN THE formal, many-course dinner
a fruit course usually follows the
sweets and cheese, directly preced-
ing the coffee. In many families fresh
fruit is always served at dinner fol-
lowing the dessert. The decorative
value Of fresh fruit served in this way
has, no doubt, had something to do
with the establishment of this course
in the dinner menu. But there are
not few good folk who always de-
cline the course because they really
don't know just how to eat it. Oh, to
be sure they can eat oranges and ap-
pies and bananas and grapes, but they
are not at all sure whether they eat
them in the right way. For eating
fresh fruit at a picnic or as be-
tween-meal is one thing, and eating 1t
at a dinner is another. The idea is,
however, always to serve 1t In its nat
ural form. To serve the oranges all
peeled and sliced would indeed be a
mistake on the part of the one who
planned the dinner. To serve the
bananas sliced would be just as grave
an error.
But really it is no very difficult task
to eat whole fruit as 1t should be
eaten at dinner. This becomes COM
paratively easy ut tables where the
English custom of serving fruit
knife and fork is followed. The
banana should first be peeled. Morsels
should then he cut by means of the
knife and eaten with the fork. Do not
cut 1t all at once.
The best way to eat an apple at the
dinner table is to cut it in quarters
with the Knife, handling it as little as
possible, and then to pare the skin
from each quarter and to core 1t as
required. There is quite a knack in
doing this without taking the apple
up into the hands any more than nee
cssary.
Pears are eaten in much the same
manner and so are peaches and plums,
but the considerate hostess does not
serve these fruits when they are so
Juicy and ovcr-ripe as to be difficult
to manage.
Many persons would not serve
oranges ut all for dinner, but instead
tangcriues that can be managed more
gracefully. Tangerines may be peeled
and then broken into sections, the
seeds being removed by means Of the
knife before taking them in the fin
GERS to eat Orange skins should be
on the plate with the fork and then
cutting off the skin by means Of the
knife After this morSelS of the
orange may be cut from the core by
means of the knife and fork and the
pieces conveyed to the mouth by the
fork. Needless to say, this Is more
easily accomplished when the oranges
are firm and not extremely juicy. So
the wise hostess selects California
oranges for dinner. though she may
prefer those delicious Florida oranges
when they are to be eaten with n
spoon for breakfast.
You may have your own pet way OF
eating grapes, but there is only one
right way-that is, according to the
accepted usage They should be eaten
by means Of the fingers of the right
hand, the stones should then be
dropped into the left hand inconspi-
cuously and thence conveyed to the
fruit plate. Cherries should be man.
