few weeks. however. Commissioner Simon
has run down some of the peddlers who
supply the upper West Side the Murray
Hill section and Fifth avenue with drugs,
and wealthy users Of narcotics are finding
It more difficult to- get their daily dope.
One of these peddlers had a route as
definite as that Of a milkman. Beginning
at six every morning he made his rounds
of fashionable apartment houses, leaving
three decks of cocaine here, phial Of
morphine there, half a dozen decks Of
heroin at the next place. Sometimes, his
books showed, he was called on to supply
additional opium or heroin for party"

enmeshed in the tolls of the drug again.
1t is through the discovery and arrest
of drug users that DR.. Simon's men get to
the drug peddlers-the men they are really
after. The drug addict tells the police
where he buys his supply, or they shadow
him until they find out for themselves.
selves-every detective in the Narcotic
Division can give an excellent imitation OF
a "cokey" or "hop-head"-they persuade
the peddler to sell them the drug. Then
he is arrested, or his depot raided 1t was
the spoils Of these raids that went into
the furnace-except for several thousand
dollars worth still awaiting use as evil
dence in court
Where does all this drug come from?
The Federal law forbids its importation
except under bond The Treasury Depart
ment has a force of men at work to pre-
vent 1t being struggled in-too small a
force to cover the lengthy borders and sea-
coast OF the country. Much of 1t comes
iioii Euiopc' oiluOu, WHO mas dstuts
in England and the Continent, discovered
recently that the Germans were manufact-
uring heroin and cocaine synthetically,
and that they and Japanese syndicate
were planning to food the United States

Germany or Japan to forbid the exporta-
tion of narcotics.
A good deal of dope has found its way

in turn got It from Mexico. BY the
arrest in New York few weeks ago Of
Montreal criminal and opium user DR..
Simon verified information coming to him
from other sources, namely. that tho drug
ring in Montreal has been using chorus
girls playing in Montreal to smuggle drugs
over the Border.
The Montreal band made II a practice

son them. Drugs not only stimulate crime,
but intensity IT, And the drug evil is
growing, as the police know. Specific To-
calities may not realize it, but throughout
the country officers OF the law are coming
to recognize the drug traffic as one OF the
main roots Of the evils with which they
constantly contend.
Drugs make criminals in more than one
way. Not only does the use of drugs tend
to destroy the mental resistance to evil
that is called morals, but drugs seem to
make their victims insensible to the differ
ence between right and wrong. Drugs
now cost so much money that the addict
is usually compelled to resort to crime in
order TO buy them. Many criminal has
committed his first offense in order to
buy his dope Commissioner Simon
says that the average drug fiend pays s.
day. $35 week for his supply. He has
arrested addicts who confessed to paying
as high as SIG day.
In the sixteen months that DR.. Simon
has been in office his Narcotic Division has
made about 1000 arrests The record for
this year is well ahead of that for cores
ponding period last year-which does not
mean that the drug evil is increasing out
of all bounds in New York City, but mere.
ly that the Narcotic Division is increasing
ly efficient in keeping pace.
Under the State law anyone caught with
drugs illegally in his possession may be
arrested and sent to take "the cure"-a
scientific treatment administered in
State institution, where the patient is
given diminishing doses of his drug, fed
according to prescribed dietary, and made
to exercise until eventually he has lost the
habit" and is well and strong enough
mentally and physically to be released.
The cure really cures, but. unfortunately,
underworld victims return to their old

Still others became regular travelling
saleswomen, making the triangular trip
between Montreal, Boston and New York.
The drug was concealed In ingenious ways.
The mysterious deaths of several beau
tiful girls in New York recently hinge
upon the operations Of the Montreal drug
ring, as did the wild fight Of an unnamed
woman from Montreal to New York in a
taxi not so long ago-an adventure that
remains mystery 30 far.
The drug evil has developed a new form
of criminal, which Dr. Simon has isolated
and identified Just as a bacteriologist
might isolate and describe new germ.
He is the drug booster" who seldom uses
the drug but persuades others to use It.
He is the missionary, the advance agent
of the drug ring.
Sometimes he distributes free samples,
sometimes he enslaves a number of girls
and spreads the habit through them all
over a factory or store. He and his assist
ants work on a commission basis. He is
the successor to the cadet or procurer of
the white-slave traffic, for he finds he can
use girls more proftably in peddling drugs
than in other forms OF vice. Recently DR..
Simon has found school children engaged
The Washington times., 1922-03-19

occasions he actually supplied experts to
"cook" the opium for a patron who wanted
to treat his guests to a smoke.
The tenseness of modern life, the after
war reaction-these and many other fac
tors are responsible for the increase in
the drug evil, and it takes steady. patient
work on Commissioner Simons part to
combat 1t. He himself works with his
men almost every night, sometimes until
daylight, watching suspects, raiding drug
depots or opium dens questioning prison
ers.
The doctor is a good example of Com
missioner Enright's policy of placing COM
petent civilians in the Police Department
For many years DR.. Simon was well
known as an alienist and criminoiogist
He figured as an expert in the Burtz,
Guldensuppe, Morrison and Molineaux
murder trials, and when the murderer
Tapley was hanged in Jersey City some
years ago DR.. Simon received the signals
which, by Encouragement, the murderer
sent until he lost consciousness. The re-
suits Of this experiment did much to
abolish that form of capital punishment in
New Jersey.
1t was DR.. Simon who conducted the
principal investigation into the water
cure" which the army was accused of
practising in the Philippines, and who
made psychological studies of Czolgosz.
President McKinley's assassin. A few
weeks ago the Federal Government sub.
poenaed him to act as expert witness at
the trial in Oklahoma City Of the man
who gave a hashish cigarette to q police
officer, putting the policeman to sleep and
allowing prisoners to escape. DR.. Simons
testimony corroborated other evidence and
four men were convicted.
One Of the greatest forward steps in the
war on drugs is the founding by DR..
Simon of a central clearing house for the
photographs and records of drug users and
peddlers. He is in correspondence with
the police authorities in more than 800
cities here and in Europe, and exchanges
with them the dossiers of anyone found
to be engaged in the drug traffic. A few
days ago Dr. Simon's men arrested Los
Angeles addict who had been in New York
only eight hours.
And along about five o'clock the other
morning the Montreal hop head" referred
to above was talking to the quiet, kindly
voiced man who seemed to have something
to do with the detectives who had made
the arrest, and yet was not like them.

And hear this guy Simon is a tough egg
you can't get to him, and his men have
driven most of the gang out of town
that's why there's so many OF them in
Canada now, and why junk costs SO much
more in New York than other places. It's
hard to get, and this guy Simon is making
Il harder all the time"

hop head" was speaking, but he never

quarters the other day stood the
famous Police Commissioner, Richard e.
Enright, and Special Deputy Police Com
missioner Carleton Simon. With their feet
on the grimy furnace room floor and their
faces red from the glow Of the open fre-box,
they stood and watched more than three
million and half dollars worth of for
hidden drugs thrown in on to the glowing
Goals.
Opium in one form or another or chemi-
cal derivatives of opium made up most of
that valuable but contraband collection. 1t

mutation of the Narcotic Division OF the

WELL II is hard to estimate the real
value to the community of what we have
destroyed here to-day" said Commissioner
Simon as he tossed the last package OF
drugs into the furnace. Not all drug ad-
diets are criminals. but most criminals are
drug addicts. We have destroyed enough
drugs to-day to put half Of Greater New
York to sleep. No one can say how many
drug-crazed criminals and crimes Of craft.
ness and violence have been averted by
the seizure and destruction of all this
stuff"
1t is the drug that inspires the crafty
schemes In the minds of highwaymen bur
glars, confidence men and murderers, and
gives them the courage to do their des-
perate work A group of criminals, for
instance, will "lie up" for the night in
some hidden den, smoking opium. Out of
the fumes will come an idea for swindling
a rich and innocent widow, perhaps, or a
plan for holding up a paymaster or blow
ing a safe.
Then the schemers sleep, dreaming
weird, exotic, blissful dreams, through the
thick murky haze, and in the morning at
least one of the band will remember the
brilliant idea of the night before.
The idea still seems feasble-but 1t re-
quires courage-ratike covrage-to carry
II out. Normal men-even criminals not
under the influence Of drugs-would lack
the nerve to commit the crime. But the
"hop-heads" do not give up; they know
how they can get the nerve. A jab Of the
hypodermic needle, a sniff of cocaine or
heroin-and they are stimulated, madly,
unreasoningly, to the point where nothing
<can stop them.

thieves shoot their victims, purse snatch
