.DRIVEACAINST DRUG RING HAS
 BEEN STARTED

NEW YORK, April 1 (by Associat-
 ed Press) ).-Claiming virtually to
 have broken the back of the illicit
 drug trade in New York City, in a
 four months drive, Special Deputy Police Commissioner Carleton Simon
 has declared war on an international
 ring which he charges is responsible for illegal distribution of dope
 throughout the United States. 1 In the anti-narcotic drive 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 bu- reau of criminal records now being l established, all data concerning drug crooks is to be ready for cities where Heads" pointing to New York might be uncovered, the commissioner said. l Recently he added, Antwerp police had requested information concerning an alleged leader of the international ring. It was shown by means of in formation furnished by New York that the man had police records in London, Paris, Brussels and New Or leans and had served prison sen tences at various places aggregating i 20 years
 We made more arrests these past four months than in any A months heretofore" said Dr. Simon, who was selected to direct the drive be- cause of his medical training. Every wing of the metropolitan police de- partment was co-ordinated, working in conjunction with the federal agents. In consequence, "the fear" has been spread through an army of vendors.
 Before he assumed his job, pr. 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 vendors 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 artificial arms and limbs; in saus- ages and clothing. Once the anti narcotic forces were working sys- tematically and arrests became ire quent, the situation soon gave evi- dence of being cleared up.
 The almost daily raids in the city reached a 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.

Washington, Dec. 12.-In announce ing it's final estimate of cotton pro duction for this year as S,340,O00 bales more than given in the prelim- mary estimate in October, Depart ment of Agriculture puts the blame for the low estimates earlier in the season to persistent and widespread propaganda at planting time" as to acreage, and lack of travel funds which prevented statisticians of the government from personally inspect ing and checking reports.

 December cotton report forecasting a total crop of S,34O,OOO bales is much in excess of earlier estimates during the growing season. It may be we'll, therefore, to explain the principal factors which account fro the differ ence between the early promise and the last estimate

 Again in the Tolls

Connie Porterfield, who about two months ago escaped from the Little River county jail, was brought in Monday night by Sheriff J. R. Pierce from Homer, La, where he was ap- prehended. Connie was at his old game, though having advanced a bit. Instead of peddling hooch he was making it. Porterfeld was arrested at Jones schoolhouse during the fair for bootlegging and placed in jail. He escaped through the roof and climbed to the ground by way of tree. He told Sheriff Pierce that he was tired of lodging and was thinking of coming in anyway. At any rate he is here.
