FEDERAL ACT PLANNED
TO CHECK DRUG EVIL
City and County Would Put
Burden on the u. S.

The serious problem brought about by
the increase in the use of narcotic
drugs in this city and State never will
be solved until the Federal Government
has put a rigid limit on the Importation
of habit forming opiates which reach
this country through legitimate routes
or smuggling channels. That was the
unanimous sentiment expressed yester-
day at a conference in the office OF
DIR. Royal S. Copeland. Health Com
missioner. attended by city and county
officials. At present there Is no State
department or agency to control mar
cotic drug traffic.
Chief City Magistrate William Nc

Hioner OF Correction: Bird s. Coler. Conn
missioner of Public Welfare, and DR..
Copeland were appointed a committee
to draft a proposed amendment to the
Federal drug law to be introduced in
Congress I'm the near future.
It will be recommended in the pro-
posed amendment that the Federal Gov
ernment take over the manufacture of
habit forming drugs and distribute them
through the Public Health Service. Ille-
gal handling of narcotics will involve
severe Jail penalty.

HUNDREDS ACCUSED
In FUR TAX FRAUDS
Revenue Commissioner Hears
of Widespread Evidence
Against Dealers.
Special Dispatch to rHn New YORK HraAtp.
New York Herald bure;tm,
Washington, ID. C., Jan. 20. !


The Revenue Commissioner. Mr.. Blair.
received reports to-day from the Chief
Revenue Inspector, Mr. Trey concerning
the Governments plans TO recover many
millions of dollars in taxes from frauds
by fur dealers. in many instances
through connivance of Government
agents.
Mr.. Trey in reporting the arrests Of
Norris Rosenblum and Hermann Schuss,
the former a deputy revenue collector,
for their alleged connection with an al
legged conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment on the monthly returns of the fur
dealers, said the conspiracy has many
ramifications and that many others will
be implicated before the roundup Is
completed.
At the suggestion OF Mr.. Blair. Chief
Trey gave orders to detail forty or more
revenue inspectors to inspect books in
offices of fur dealers of every kind, in
Guiding manufacturers, jobbers, dis
tributors and retailers. Officials expect
the roundup of those who actually de-
frauded the Government in one way or
another will result in indictment or at
least arrest of hundreds more indlvid-
uals or concerns.
Arrests now scheduled follow an in
vestigation which has been in progress
several months 1t began when certain
evidence was laid before the Department
of Justice tending to show that large
number of fur dealers had falsified their
returns. Subsequent audits together with
personal examinations made in offices
Of dealers by agents established that the

their liability to the Goyernment was

Legal Aspects OF
RiUer Development
Outlined By Sloan

Mr.. Chairman and Members OF the
Commissions:
The purpose of this meeting, as
understand. is to afford opportunity
for the presentation of views Of in
terested parties and communities
with respect to the proper ALLEGATION
of the waters of the Colorado river
between the states here represented.
1t is apparent the broad question
to be considered has two aspects, the
legal and, what for a. better term.
NAV be called the political. That is
to say, the rights of the states inter
sese. based upon positive law, con-
stitute the one: the proposed agree
ment or compact between the states
under which these legal rights are to
he recognized or modified. restricted
or enlarged as the case may be, and
means found by which such rights as
are recognized and agreed upon be
safeguarded and enforced, constitute
the other.
doubt il II would be profitable to
the commission at the present stage
of the negotiations if there should be
anv discussion with respect to the
rights of the several states or the
rights of the federal government to
the control OF the waters of the river,
or to their disposition further than
NAV be necessary to obtain a. full and
adequate understanding of what these
legal problems may be so that it may
be seen whether or not they present
anv obstacle to an agreement that
shall be acceptable to all the states
concerned.
The Colorado River commission is
not a tribunal nor does it possess leg
islatiye powers Its proper function,
as | take it, is to formulate, for the
action Of the various states and the
federal government a compact that
will remove existing difficulties and
provide. if possible, method by
which future disputes or differences
may be adjusted so that the full de-
velopment of the river may be in
definitely postponed with the great
benefits, national, state and COM
munity. that will follow this devel-
opment.
Indeed, I take it that one may not
! advance any opinion with respect to
! these rights without inviting more
| or less criticism as to its soundness
! There may not even be unanimity of
view as TO what are the real ques-
tions involved When / attempt to
state them. therefore. | do not mean
/ to imply that there may not be 9TH
! ers than those named by me of suffi-
/ cent Importance to be considered.
! SEVEN PROBLEMS ARE APPAR- :
ENT
Broadly speaking. the questions Of
purely legal nature involved in the
determination of the existing rights
TO the control and use Of the waters

tion be exceeded. / am not suffi-
GENTLY familiar with the pleadings or

probable that the respective rights
of the United States and of the sew

troll of the waters of an innavigable

and that the decision may lay down

passed over the territory en-
compassed in your proposals hack in
1870; have been over it many times
since and have known Of it's po-
tehtlal Importance. But the one as
pect or the subject that stands para
mount before me is the lifting of the
1000 control menace in the Imperial
alley There is impending in the
imperial valley the worst disaster. in
on way that ever visited the South
west Destruction of that valley
means the destruction of the prop
erty OF posterity.
II the stream gets away IT would
pc a staggering loss to the people but
stu worse. a more staggering loss to
posterity because the land never can
be restored
Speed for the attendance Of this
project is my appeal. Let your treat

pe decided later. / have constructed
Ynany projects in which the legal
phases are not vet settled. I have
found that the law Of delay is the one
that embarrasSes progress NV idea
would be to take the water and set
tie with them afterward.
The basin states are rislxing moth
ing in the building or dam-to pro-
tect against flood destruction. 1t is
the disposition Of the Colorado and
Wyoming mud which comes floating
down to us in the Colorado that
makes the handling OF the river diff
ficult on its lower reaches.
The Boulder Canyon dam Is the
one that has always met my APP
pfoval and / believe it is the one
this commission should approve. No
rights will accrue to the lands on the
lower reaches because they already
have rights unassailable. In all Of
my dealings in rights to use of water,
/ have found that the first in use
is the first in right. These lands
on the lower reaches having been
using this water for 25 years and
they are not going to be deprived of
that benefit after all these years"
In concluding, Colonel Mulholland
spoke briefly on the Boulder Canyon
damsite as the most favorable for the
marketing of the 100000 kilowats to
be developed there. The question Of
marketing this power is a vital one,
he declared.
