CIGARETTES SEIZED
IN RAID IN KANSAS
Truck Load Captured on Eyi-
dence Submitted by Anti
Saloon League.

Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD
TOPEKA, Aug. 7.--There is a truck load
of cigarettes Of the most popular BRANDS
reposing in a dingy basement room Of
the Topeka police station, the result or
raid of pool halls. drug stores and
restaurants by the Sheriff's force and the
city police department. None OF the
deputy sheriffs or policemen knew of
the coming raid until they received war
rants directing them to about forty
places in Topeka where the anti-cfgar-
cite law was being violated There
wasn't any chance for tipping IL off !;
none of the victims OF the pinch had
warning to hide the cohtraband smokes
These raids were made on evidence
furnished by socalled detectives sent
out week ago by the Anti-Saloon
League of America. The County Attor-
ney, the Sheriff and the Police Depart
ment were as much surprised over the
raid as were the dispensers of the cigar
cite. The AntiSaloon League furnished
the evidence OF cigarette purchases and
asked that the raid be pulled off at 3
o'clock 2. NJ, and that no chance be
given for underground wires to the
smokes sellers. After the rush the Off
GERS proceeded leisurely to unload the
cigarettes from big truck and several
automobiles.
Cigarettes arc sold in practically all
the towns and cities of Kansas in spite
Of the law. which was passed by the
Legislature in 1917. At the session of
the Legislature early this year tho Anti

wager and said he was glad TO refute
one of the wild charges made against
animal trainers. He said that he had
worked with one bird for six years. often
doing the trick four times day.
Trainers and circus proprietors ar
tempted TO prove by direct action that
the animals We're taught by kindness
and not by cruelty. James Sanger,
famous circus man. said that the accu-
sauons were pifie. One OF his bears
that walked arm in arm with clown
gave such realistic portrayal OF a
drunken man that the complaint was
made that liquor actually had been
given to him. He said that in reality
the trainers were attacked and usually
got hurt when they themselves were
drunk. Sanger said that the bouncing
lion was the tamest possible animal OF
this kind and that only the sly lion was
spiteful. He said that lions had long
memories and would wait for years to
avenge Ill treatment. All trainers knew
this and none dared to torture them, he

Germany taking advantage of the
world lull in shipping business, and
while European harbors are congested
with idle craft, is seeking to rebuild
her merchant marine by buying or leas-
ing ships from owners in the Scandi-
navian countries.
Secretary of Commerce Hoover to-
day was advised in a cablegram from
American Trade Commissioner Klath at
Copenhagen OF Germany's plans TO take
over several Swedish ships. Mr.. Klath's :
message gave no details, but officials
assumed that Germany now expects to
get price advantage by purchases at
this time.
The shipping situation in the princi-
pal European countries continues to be
much depressed. according to cable
grams to the Commerce Department.
Generally In most of the ports of Eu-
rope available tonnage Is considerably
in excess of demand.
Officials said, however. that there may
be significance in reports from Great
Britain that Improvement in shipping
rates gives promise OF larger business
