Border Drug Deal Ended
By French-Swiss Police
Concerted Raid by Forces of
Two Nations Traps CO.
caine Traffickers

LONDON. April 90 (By MaiN.-
Something in the nature OF film
drama is described by correspondent
writing from Geneva to the Daily
Mail in connection with renewed of-
forts TO stop the cocaine traffic under
the new Swiss law, which provides a
penalty OF one years imprisonment
and fine of nearly $500,
The scene Of the raid wa. laid IN q
cafe on the Franco-Swias frontier, the
front door Of which opened on to
French territory and the back door on
to Switzerland
A large amount Of cocaine had been
sold TO a man named Bedoni, who had
been expelled from Switzerland. The
agent arrived with his precious box
Of cocaine in a small town on the Swiss
sidc Of the French frontier. but would
not to give 1t to one Of Bedonis con-
federates without receiving payment
about 800 in English money
Bedoni, however, did not like TO part
with his money without the cocaine
and it was while one OF MS con
TO have been trying to persuade him to
come into Switzerland to fetch the
drug-Bodoni being unwilling, as he
feared he would run into a trap-that
the Swiss and French police made q
concerted movement and surrounded
the cafe
The alarm was given before the
plans Of the police We're quite complete
and Bedoni ran into French territory
while the Swiss police arrested Bau-
dols. Bedon. however, did not get far,
for the French police pursued him i'm
motorcars and after few shots. he
surrendered.
Meanwhile, on the Swiss side of the
frontier, the Genevese police had gone
off on motor bicycles to the spot where
the traficker in cocaine was waiting
to deliver his packet to Bedoni and
Baudois and receive his money and ar
rested him and an accomplice.

Brothers, Spirit Picture
Hocus Pocus, Says Maxim
Asserts Sir Hiram H as So Bit.
ter a shePfic That appear
dnce at Sc0nce Ts Fuuuy

Hudson Maxim was amused yester-
day at his home in Lake Hopatcong.
New Jersey, at the news that the spirit
face of his brother. Sir Hiram Maxim.
was among those in the photographs
exhibited by Sir Arthur Conon Doyle
to substantiate his theory Of spirit
ism II was hocus pocus, he said.
My brother, Sir Hiram Maxim was
very radical believer, so far as spirit
ualism was concerned" said Mr. Maxim.
"1n fact, he used to ridicuic the spirit
there IS some element of irony in the
claim that he was one Of the ghosts
appearing at the Carnegie Hall seance." j."
Throwing back his leonine head and
laughing refectively, Mr., Maxim con-
tinued in a lighter strain;
Hiram often used to remark on the
degenerating effect of the spirit world
upon eminent human creatures after
they had passed over the great divide.
He said that always when Herbert
Spencer, Charles Darwin, Shakespeare,
Ben Franklin and other great men
spoke through 4 medium their Ian
GuaGe carried no weight or philosophy
or reason but was always the merest
drivel
A lady who claims to be 4 favorite
control Of Shakespeare recently gave
book of sonnets alleged to be dictated
to her by the soul of Shakespeare
After reading few Of them told her
that Shakespeare had certainly fallen
down lot in his poetry since he died
and she answered. Yes, poor Shaky
has had pretty hard time of it since
he died
II must say that if Shakespeare has
had as much difficulty since he died
trying to get other dead ones to ap-
preciate his poetry as ! have had to
get living dead ones to appreciate my
poetry, he has certainly had hard
time of il.
Here Mr.. Maxim stopped pacing up
and down his study long enough to
explain that he. too, published book
Of poems in between his research &C
tivities in the realms of infnity.
How do you account FOR the clear
photograph of your brother?' Mr.
Maxim was asked.
"Hocus pocus." was the succinct re-
II am not sAeptical on the subject,
but | think come as near TO know
ing that there is not particle OF
truth in spritualism as ! am OF any
thing in the world,' he continued. :
Men like Sir William Crookes. Sir
Oliver Lodge and Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle. all believers in 5piritualism1'
are Of such high character, such
honesty and sincerity Of purpose that
we cannot for moment doubt the
depth of their belief. Such men are
absolutely sincere in their belief in
spritualism, regardless Of the absurd
ity of that belief. Religion OF any
kind takes a curious hold on the humen
mind There is vast difference be-
tween religion and a scientific truth.
A scientific truth has to be true, but
a religion does not necessarily have to

Nocturnal! Resorts Require Only

Insure Membership

LONDON, April 20 (By MaiD.-so
far as night clubs are concerned, Lon
don is returning rapidly to pre-war
conditions, observes The Daily Mail"
Everywhere in the West End institu-
tions bearing fantastic names are
sprlnging up, in which dancing can be
INDUCED in to the small hours with
partners to whom introduction is
superfuous and refreshments can be
taken.
Nominally for subscribers only these
places admit any one who can afford
the guinea or half-guinea demanded
By the manager ensconced, for some
occult reason, in building other than
that containing the resort of which he
controls the destnies. As a rule no
questions are asked, and the handing
over of a treasury note completes the
transaction.
Once inside and the descent effected
to the basement converted into the So
called CLUB" the features of these
establishments are identical-an ex
clans on das, a bar with walters,
and the patrons in groups or alone
seated at little tables, or on dlvans,
ranged round the room
Though refreshments are announced
as free, q brisk business is done in
dispensing bad spirits at exorbitant
prices "a half measure Of whisky and
splash Of soda costing shillings s
pence. Professional partners may be
in attendance. or, as is more usual, the
management may assume the task Of
pairing off strangers. In any case IL
is a distinction without a difference.
These night clubs thrive for va
riety Of rcasons-ingrained human
curiosity about the unconventional the
desire to sit up beyond the curfew
hour ordained by the licensing magis
trates and the craze for dancing.
