UNIQUE METHODS
USED BY ENGLISH
PEDDLERS Of DOPE

LONDON, Oct. 7.-Scotland Yard
is conducting an intensive campaign
against West End drug traffickers
whose activities of late are said to
have greatly increased. Some of the
methods used in delivering drugs to
the purchaser are described in a re-
cent report.
Fourth lamppost on the right"
a trafficker whispers in the ear of
cocaine victim. He passes down
the street, and with the aid of chew
ing gum fixes little white packet
on the fourth lamp post. The pur-
chaser follows at a discreet distance
and removes the packet. !
Another trafficker drops rolled
omnibus tickets on the pavement.
He is followed by string Of clients
who pick up the tickets, which, of
course, contain cocaine.
Another throws ali apparently
empty match box into the gutter. A
minute or SO later a customer picks
it up and extracts one or more
packets of cocaine.
Another trafficker keeps the drug
in the turned-up ends Of his trous-
ers. He advises his customers where
he will walk, and as he goes along
he stops as if to fasten his boot.
lace. In realty he is placing packet
Of cocaine on a doorstep,s whence a
customer picks it up.

RECTOR Staying
WITNESS SOUGHT;
NEW CLUES FOUND

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Oct.
IA man and woman believed to
have seen the murder of the Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Reinhardt Mills, choir
singer, were being sought tonight.
If the couple can be located and
made to tell the story which it is
whispered they have recounted to
their friends, Investigators believe
that the mystery will be solved.
According to the report, the two
were themselves in a path near the
road running into tho Phillips farm
when they say an automobile with a
sedan body dashed up the lane. Its &C.
cupants were shouting, according to
the story; five shots flashed, a
woman in the car screamed, they
said.
The witnesses, as the story goes,
did not wish to have their presence
revealed and ran hastily to a park
nearby, where the man had left his
automobile. While they were there.

it contained woman, and two men,
according to the story.

LEVINE s POWERS
ARE UN|MPA|RED;
RUSSIA REJO|CES
BY r. A. MACKENZIE.

= Especial Cable to The Atlanta journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1927
MOSCOW, Oct. 1.-THE return Of
Lenine to active political life the
other day. when he presided over a
council of the peoples commissars,
10 regarded by all Russia is matter
for general rejoicing. Somewhat
. thinner and highly strung but full
OF life, he quickly showed that his
powers were unabated. Even those
Z Russians who three years ago re-
garded him with bitterness now are
united in agreeing that his modera-
ton, common sense and willingness
to learn from events make him the
hope of new Russia. His old fol-
lowers regard him with a veneration,
the depth of which it is difficult for
outsiders to comprehend.
IL Three great issues demand imme-
date attention. These are Russia's
policy in the Far East, the encour-
agement Of foreign investments and
the general economic position. Many
things indicate the possibility of a
further contraction of state operation
OF the manufacturing industry. The
government is now mainly confin-
ing its energy to three industrial en-
terprises. The government is more
and more leaving them to their own
resources, evidently resolved that
they must justify their existence or
go.
Their difficulties are largely due
to lack of capital, lack of foreign
credits, the impossibility of obtain
ing adequate supplies of raw mater
ial from abroad and the shortage of
home supplies. For these reasons
they cannot run at full capacity,
this leading to an increase in the
costs which are further augmented
by heavy overhead charges due to
excessive officialism and labor re-
quirements. The labor unions ex-
press their willingness to cooperate
in every way possible to prevent
failure but the manufacturing po-
sition is quickly reaching a point
where the government may make
sweeping changes. Lenine's action
last year in taking the ban off small
private trading encourages the ex-
pectation that he will be equally
bold here.
Communists declare that foreign
observers place too much emphasis
on Lenine's share in the reforms,
maintaining that he is only one, al
though the chief, of those favoring
reform. They say that many other
big workers should get part of the
credit. Foreign observers however
see, perhaps better than anyone else
how Lenine by his tremendous driv-
ing power energies the somewhat
cumbersome governmental machine.

ADOPT PLANS FOR
REIMBURSEMENT Of
BANKS IN KOREA

TOXIC. Oct. 7.-Re-adjustment
schemes for the banks Of Korea and
Formosa, which have suffered heavy
losses in the past two years, are
being discussed by bankers and finan
ciers. AS result Of conferences
between the directors Of the banks,
the president Of the Bank Of Japan
and government officials, it is report
ed that it has been decided so far as
the Bank of Korea is concerned, to
adopt the following plan:
The dividend for the first half
yearly term Of this year be reduced
to 8 per cent per annum "a de-
crease of 2 per cent compared with
the previous term). and the loss
sustained by the bank is to be made
good with. the fund raised by the
reduction of the rate Of dividend.
The bank is to make strenuous
effort, to recover advances where
the price of the security against
such advances has greatly declined.
Decisive retrenchment in the ex-
penses OF employees and other ex-
penditure is to be effected.
. The Bank of Japan is to supply
working funds as far as possible.
The term for the making good
Of the losses is not to exceed ten
years.
The circumstances of the Bank of
Formosa are different from those
of the Bank of Korea and the losses
arc smaller. The readjustment
scheme of the bank, therefore, dit,
fers from that of the Bank of
Korea. and consists of the recovery
of the fixed advances, collection of
additional security, the prohibition
to get funds on the call market by
securing working funds against the
security of negotiable documents
from the Bank of Japan; cautious
selection of debtors and increase OF
reserve for making good losses. The
Bank of Formosa has decided to
distribute a dividend of ~ per cent
as usual.
The losses Of the Bank Of Korea
were returned at 100000 yen, and
those of the Bank of Formosa at
about half that amount, due to the
