DOPE VALUED AT
 $50Q,0O0 IS TAKEN
Hotel Douglas, N. Y. City Raided
 by Squad of 40 Detectives

New York, Sept 23-One hundred pounds of narcotics with a retail value of $5o0.o0o, were seized early last night, when pr. Carleton Simon, spe- cial deputy police commissioner, and forty detictives raided the Hotel Douglas, five story structure at POT West Fortieth street. Five men were arrested
 Police reserves from the West Thir- tieth street station were called to keep back the several hundred peo- pie who were attracted to the scene by the changing of patrol wagon bells.
 The arrested men described them selves as Benjamin Dwortette, 29 keeper of the hotel; Harry Dwortette. 30, his brother, alias Harry McGurk Samuel Bernstein, 30, alias Butch" an alleged drug seller; Samuel spir- eek, 22, clerk of the hotel and Clarence Smart, 34. the negro porter. All gave their addresses as 207 West Fortieth street,
 A sixth man, who gave the name of August Del Gracia, 30, and alleged to be a member of the gang, had been arrested earlier at 94 Chrystie street,
 Planned For Many Months. ! The raid, which Dr. simon charac- terized as the greatest ever in the United States, had been planned for many months The first clew that drugs probably were being sent throughout the country from the ho- tel appeared in letter to pr. Simon from District Attorney Banton on April 20. The letter suggested an investigation of the hotel.
 Detectives Frank Quigley and | Thomas Farrell then went ito the place, registered as from out of town and lived there since early May Quig- | ley became acquainted with a Joseph Fishman, who became his confdant
 After many meetings, Fishman. ac- cording to Quigley. told of making many trips to Europe to get several thousand ounces of morphine, cocaine and heroin each time. Quigley posed as a buyer of drugs. If he wanted more than 5000 ounces, Fishman is said to have told him it could be provided within three weeks.
 Quigley said he purchased twenty ounces of morphine on Tuesday from Fishman as a trial order. If the quail ity was of a high standard he prom ised to buy 1so ounces more. Late yesterday, asserted Quigley, he met Tishman at Forty-f,rst street and Sew enth avenue and took the other 1so ounces paying S3,ooo. Fishman ask ed him, he said not to let the hotel bunch" know he had double crossed" them by selling the morphine.
 Fishman then was taken into GUS tody. He offered to give the S3,ooo back to Quigley in return for his re- lease, said the detective.
 Drugs In Nearly Every Room.
 Following the arrest Dr. Simon and his detectives rushed to the hotel. They ransacked sixty rooms, breaking down many doors Mattresses on all beds were searched, furniture moved, drawers turned inside out and car pets torn up. Drugs were said to have been found in practically every room.
New Britain herald., 1922-09-23

In the cellar were three large trunks, each containing large quanti- ties of assorted drugs. In the bag gage room seachers discovered three large suit casess all filled with mar cotics.
 Belief that the seizures "cut the selling artery between the drug cen ter and the remainder Of the United states" was voiced by Dr. Simon. Op- erations of the gang, he said. have been international. complaints having been received from the Royal Mount ed Police of Canada regarding ship ments from New York.
 Magistrate Max Levine issued the warrant for the raid after Detectives Quigley and Farrell had reported their findings at the hotel.
 Olaf Lempke, professional safe opener, was employed by Dr. Simon to open the safe in the hotels office. Tn 1t were covered many papers and money or,Vrs A black book contain ing list of names and addresses also was found. This, Dr. Simon said, will be Of great value in tracing other '''iIpCio VI iIS sp-ldlleI iIuk DtQ- dlers ring in other cities.
 shipped Narcotics in Trunks.
 That the gang operated in St Louis was asserted several months ago in letter to Dr. Simon from Martin O'Brien, chief of police of St. Louis. Two men, giving the names of Max Gordon and Abe Goldfelder, and who had been wounded in St. Louis, had in their pockets papers indicating that they were receiving drugs from the New York center.
 Gordon, it was revealed at police headquarters, jumped bail in New York following his arrest on April 21, 1921, at the Grand Central ter minal on a charge of transporting a trunk full of gum opium. The let ter from Chief O'Brien advised Dr. Simon after Gordon's finger prints had been sent through the country that the man had been shot there.
 Drug buyers in other cities, declar- ed Dr. Simon, sent empty trunks to Hotel Douglas. The trunks. after be- ing loaded with drugs, would be ship ped back to the buyer and the con- tents sold at retail to addicts The members of the gang always took the precaution. said Dr. Simon, to send the drug laden trunks to the station about thirty minutes before train time
 Benjamin and Harry Dwortette who for two years have operated the Ho- tel Douglas. denied connection with the drug ring. All of the drug filled trunks and suit cases belonged to guests they asserted.
 A box of what looked like morphine was found in the drawer of the tele- phone desk Samuel Spireck, the clerk attempted to hide it when the detec- lives entered the place it was assert ed This was the only parcel of drugs found in the office.
 All of the seized drugs were packed | in cartons, measuring four by two inches. The trunks evidently were prepared for early shipment, said de- tectives, although they were not la beled.
 Additional arrests probably will be ! made today as soon as the list of names and addresses seized among the papers in the safe can be checked.
