100000 in
Drugs Seized
In Four Raids
tcontlnued from pase ons)

atterward the two squads broke into
the apartment of Lattiere, and q des-
perate struggle followed, in which Lat
tlere attempted to jump out of the
window into the cemetery below. He
succeeded in throwing several thousand
dollars worth of drugs into the Gene
terry, it is said.
Both Lattiere and Di Mere were ar
rested, and later held in $4,000 to ap-
pear February II. Both raids were
conducted by Internal Revenue Agents
Ralph Oyler, Frank j. Fitzpatrick, Nc
Cormick and Coleman Manning, with
Police Detectives Irving Higgins, Her.
bert Moog and Samuel Massam from
DR.. Simon's staff.
In the second raid Pacetta was again
used as decoy. In this case, the raid
crs say, $4,000 worth of drugs were
seized at the grocery store of Giovanni
Cepollaro, at 28 West End Avenue.
Giovanni was arrested, but his brother
escaped. 1t was at this place that the
canoes were seized. One thousand
IN cash was taken from Cepollaro.
In both cases the seized drugs were
Of Italian and German origin and had
been smuggled into the country from
steamships, it IS said.
Discussing the alarming drug situa-
tion yesterday, DR.. Simon said: "Since
the advent of prohibition the substrata
of humanity have resorted more and
more to habit-forming drugs. The
present situation is appalling and COM
pletely taxes the force of my depart
ment. We have not got sufficient men
to handle the situation.
Wherever the drugs have been con-
fiscated it was found that there was
q trail that led to ring which was
international in character and had the
backing of great wealth No matter
how large the bail, the vender who is
arrested by my men finds no trouble in
being bailed out.
II am going to recommend Federal
law whereby all seamen from foreign
countries will be subjected to more
thorough examination before they are
allowed to go ashore. The ease with
which seamen conceal the narcotics in
their clothing or among their personal
effects and the low rate of exchange
in foreign countries facilitate the ac-
tivities of the international ring.
"The seamen who make business of
smuggling have their regular markets.
The amount of narcotics that they
smuggle through nets them huge
profit and the drugs are in such COM
pact form that the business of detect
ing them is made exceedingly difficult"

To Report Robbery
Salesman i'm an Amsterdam
Avenue Cigar Shop Loses
Own Cash and Watch: $50
Is Stolen From Register

Morris Abrams, fifty -year-old clerk
Of the United Cigarshop, 926 AM
sterdam Avenue, qualified last night as
q long-distance roller after two chubby
bandits had bound his hands and feet
with the stores twine and departed
with $50 in cash. They also took $40
from Abrams, beside his gold watch
and chain. y
Abrams was drumming his fingers
on glass showcase top when two
strangers of rather fieshy design saun-
tered in. Out of their pockets came
revolvers.
"Up with 'em!" said one. "You
know,"
Abrams complied While one in
truder fingered at the front of the
store the other marched the clerk into
rear room. There he spread the pro-
testing Abrams on the floor, gagged
him and wound him in twine.
Stay there now," said the bandit,
''or we'll kill you'll"
The bandit then went through his
victims pockets, extracted $40 bill
and watch and chain and joined his
companion. The robbers emptied the
cash register, helped themselves to
cigars and vanished.
Abrams wasn't content to remain in
the rear rbom. He wriggled and
squirmed until he had opened the door
leading into the store proper and then
began twisting and rolling until he had
rolled to the front of the store and
within view of persons passing on the
sidewalk.
A pedestrian assisted him. Once on
his feet Abrams needed no assistance
in going for policeman. Detectives
Fitzgerald and Morrell, of the West
Tooth Street station, began search for
the bandits.
