FLIGHT OF DEFAULTER
ENDS IN THE GRAVE
FUGITIVE BURIED SECRETLY
IN OLD HOME TOWN AFTER
ROAMING 20 YEARS.

After roaming the world fugitive
for more than 20 years William Gar
rison now lies buried in an unmarked
grave in a peaceful country cemetery
near his old home town of Bridge
town, N. ]. He disappeared mysteri-
ously when young man with $4,000
public funds and young woman with
whom he was in love.
His death and burial are covered
with the. same mystery that concealed
his life from the day he walked out
of the office of the county clerk on
August 1, 1902, one of the leading pub
lie men. in Cumberland county, and
babe goodbye to his wife and friends,
saying he was on his way to Salt
Lake City to attend a convention.
Seek to Probe Mystery.
Now southern New Jersey is telling
again the story of his absconding and
is trying to uncover corner OF the
mystery that has been the subject OF
household gossip for years. Men who
were Garrison's political associates,
now prominent and wealthy, are
known to be almost the only ones
who are silent and indifferent about
these stories.
They are men whose names have
always been linked with the scandal
and mystery. Bridgeton never has un-
derstood the disappearance Of the
$4,000 bond that Garrison had given
when he became county clerk, or why
mo greater effort was ever made to
find him.
Was Leading Citizen.
From two different sources it be-
came known recently that Garrison
died last spring and that his last wish
was that his body be sent to the coun-
try which he roamed as boy. Those
who know the facts OF the burial have
refused to say more than that the body
was shipped to Bridgeton secretly and
buried at midnight in a country Gem
etery and now lies in an unmarked
grave.
Member of a prominent family in
southern Jersey and married to the
daughter of we'll known family
young Garrison was leading citizen
even in, his early manhood, and quick
ly won office. When the shortage was
found the bond had disappeared.

TEN THOUSAND DRUG
USERS IN Los ANGELES
JOINT ACTION BY COUNCIL,
POLICE AND MINISTERS IN
FIGHT ON THE EVIL.
ALL KINDS OF DOPE FOR SALE
Case of Wallace Reid. Recovering
From Breakdown, May Save Hun
dreds of Other Drug Addicts. Hays
Calls on Sick Film Star.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. = Wallace
Reid, "doped' film star, recuperating
from years of indulgence in booze and
narcotics, may save hundreds of his
fellow "dopes" in Los Angeles.
Because of the publicity given the
movie idols case the city council, the
chief of police and groups of minis
tiers are preparing to wage war on
trafickers in morphine, cocaine, her
DIN and marihauna, not only in Hol-
lywood but throughout the city.
AS result of a petition offered the
city council today by the Methodist
Ministerial Association, Chief OF Po-
lice Cakes recommended that an APP
preparation of $4,000 be given to a
secret service fund to investigate the
narcotic traffic The recommendation
was approved by the police commits
sion, and will be acted upon by the
council tomorrow.
Narcotic Squad Increased.
Chief Cakes declared he has already
increased his narcotic detail, and de-
ed more convictions of drug peddlers
in the last few months than the sher-
if, the district attorney and the led
eral department combined.
The ministers asked that the coun-
Gil appoint a commission with author
ity to summon witnesses, administer
oaths and take evidence, but inasmuch
as the city council has not this au-
thority itself it cannot delegate it. 1t
would, however, according to many
of the councilmen, make vigorous
investigation. The ministers were told
that it would be better for them to
make their appeal to the grand jury.
Los Angeles has awakened to the
danger of the dope situation, which 1t
was denied existed when correspond
ents of eastern newspapers wrote sto-
ries about it. last February during the
hunt for the murderer OF William
Desmond Taylor, moving picture d1-

10000 Drug Users in City.
One of the members of the narcotic
SQUAD estimates there are 10000 drug
users in this city. And that every
known brand of drugs is sold and
used here. The police have record OF
500 dope peddlers, some of whom have
served time, some of whom are now
in jail. Every peddler, upon convic-
ton, is sentenced to year in prison,
Addicts are sentenced to indeterminate
terms, usually from so days to six
months.
VIII Hays, the overload of the
movies, declared the film industry
would cooperate in every possibid
way with the authorities in the plan
to stop the sale and use of drugs.
"The industry" he said, SIS in the
fullest sympathy with announced pur-
pose of stopping any traffic in mar
cotics that may exist in the communi-
ty. am sure the constituted author
tiles will take care of the situation
whatever it is, and we will be glad to
help"
The councilmen made it clear, how
ever, that if the appropriation was
voted, it would not be used exclusive
" in investigating the film colony.
