Alleged Members of Nation
al Narcotic Runners Are
Nabbed After Chase
SEEKING RINGLEADERS
Los Angeles Named as Sale
Center For Struggled
Cargo of Dope

In the biggest narcotic seizure ever
made on the border, following wild
165-mile desert pursuit, four members
of an asserted national drug ring are
under arrest here today and $4,000
worth of drugs held as evidence of the
extensive operations of dope runners.
Among the alleged drug smugglers
captured are two women. asserted to
be ''queens" of the narcotic band.
Those in Jail are Rose Erskine, al
ready involved in sensational charge
of robbery, Mrs. o. R. Parkhurst, j.
R. Davis and A. V. Stephens.
Detected as the dope runners were
crossing the border at Calexico in
two powerful automobiles, Customs
Inspector Kemp and Constable Frank
Crane Immediately gave chase in an
other machine and the long, furious
chase that ultimately ended in River
side with the capture of the band
was on.
Morphine, Opium Seized
Dozens Of cans Of opium, scores of
bindles of cocaine and a quantity of
morphine were found concealed in
specially built compartments in the
two machines. Both machines, one
said to have been borrowed from a
prominent Calexican, were likewise
seized by the government officers.
The story of the chase reads like
pursuit stuff" in sensational movie
serial.
Night had just fallen when Officers
Kemp and Crane Spotted" the dope
cars" cross the border east of Calexi-
co. They had been watching for the
quartette to move across the line with
the valuable cargo Of opium.
Commands to halt were unheeded.
Instead, the drivers of the two alleged
''dope cars" stepped" on the gas and
roared away in the darkness.
Caught After Pursuit
Setting a mad pace over rough
roads, the asserted drug runners"
headed for Los Angeles where head
quarters of the band is asserted to
be maintained and where sale of the
smuggled narcotics was to have been
made.
Twice Officers Kemp and Crane al
most overlook the speeding machines.
Within firing range, the officers OPP
ened fire on the fleeing machines, try
ing to ''shoot off the tires" But the
shots went wild and the firing was
not returned.
At Brawley they got the first trace
of the fugitives. The party was trav-
cling in two cars about twenty min
utes apart; Rose Erskine and the mys-
terious Mrs. Parkhurst, young and
beautiful, in the first, or pilot car,
and the two men in the following car.
At Kane Springs the officers were
but half hour behind the line run
ners. But here they met with an acci-
dent. A deep chuck hole in the road
broke spring for them and from
there on they travelled on the dead
axle. Close to Beaumont, however,
they overlook the car with the two
men in it and arrested them. In a
special compartment in the tonneau
of the car was suit case packed with
the narcotics. While Inspector Kemp
held the prisoners, Constable Crane

Onlted PfeSS Sta1f correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Repre-
sentatlves of the American Legion
today refused to accept President
Harding's veiled suggestion in his
cash bonus might be dropped from
the adjusted compensation bill.
"The American Legion still favors
the four fold plan, providing for an
option of cash, paid up insurance,
home or farm aid, vocational train.
ing" spokemen for the eX-service men
told the house ways and means COM
mittee.
Congress was torn today between
legaliZing a sales tax to pay a SOL
diers' bonus or dropping the cash
bonus altogether, substituting pair up
insurance or land grants.
This was the situation resulting
from President Harding's letter sug-
gesting the sale tax, or abandonment,
as the alternatives for the bonus.
The house ways and means conf
mittee, meeting this forenoon pro-
posed to sound out sentiment on
dropping the bonus and the sales tax
propositions.
There was virtually no talk of
postponement as suggested by Hard
ing in the event of failure Of the
sales tax.
But just how congress would put
through a payment plan was as
much mystery to members as at
any time since that body threw up
it's hands and sought counsel Of the
president.
The sales tax will have hard sled
ding. That is certain from the utter
ances of it's friends and foes, but
from the bonus standpoint there Is
still q chance of il going through.
