SAYS PRODUCTION AIDS DRUG TRAFFIC Only by CurtailinS Output Can
 It Be Stopped

Berlin, Dec 21.-The trade in baneful narcotics can be controlled only through limiting the production of the raw drugs, in the opinion of Representative Stephen G. Porter, of Pittsburgh. Pa. who was the Ameri- can delegate to the league of nations norcotic commission last summer MT. Porter passed through Berlin re- gently on his way from Geneva to Washington. All men who have stud jed the opium question. he says. re- aiize control must be at the source of production, for no nation can pro- tect itself against the bringing in of drugs by smugglers. a practice that Is constantly increasing.
 Worldwide publicity, MT. Porter believes, the foundation for which has been laaid at, Geneva by the anti opium conference, is the principal thing now necessary to force a limita- tion of the production of the opiates which are such a menace to civiliZa- ton. Women are the most effective workers in the campaign, and MT. Porter is warm in his praise of Mrs. Hamilton Wright, of Washington, and her associates in various lands in their battle against habit forming drugs.
 All the European nations which have possessions in the Far East where opium is grown face a stub born financial problem in forwarding the anti-drug campaign, as their col enies derive large portion of their revenues from opium. Mir. Porter says
 Opium. cocaine and other drugs are very valuable, and there are vast profits in the trade, The habit is so widespread in the Orient that 1t is undermining the British, French, Dutch and Portuguese colonies and working financial losses which are far greater than tho income from opium taxes, to say nothing of the moral degradation it is bringing about. Eng land and practically all the nations Of Continental Europe are suffering SO badly from the smuggling of opium and tho consequent spread of the use Of drugs that there is a general awak- ening to the folly of defending the production on financial grounds.
 Recent investigations have disclosed that India was smuggling opium into England by means of filling up the cavities in bamboo furniture. iFeld glasses recently shipped to the United States from Germany in considerable quantities were filled with cocaine. Lanmpshades and nearly all sorts of merchandise have been used as hid ing place for morphine, and so much of this drug can be successfully hid- den in the luggage of any travelAr that government agents have found 1t impossible to preveat it from being smuggled.
 Mir. Porter estimates that habit forming drugs cause tho United States an annual loss of s4oo,000, ,oo0.

BANDIT IS EXECUTED
One Of Those Who Took Part in Famous Chinese Kidnapping Is Put 10 Death Tor Offenses.

By frhs Associated Press.
 Picking, Dec. 21.-Sun Mai-Yo, one of the bandit leaders, who participat- cd in the attack on a Shanghai Picking express train near Suchow in the Province of Kiangsu last May in which number of Americans and other foreigners were kidnapped and held captive for more than a month, has been executed at Taochwang, in Chekiang province, according to ad- vices received by the war ministry here. He was charged with permit ting. troops under his command to mutiny and rebel against tho govcrn- ment. the advances said.
 Tho bandits, who participated in the train raid were enlisted in the Chinese army, under an agreement reached after prolonged negotiations with the Picking government, which brought about the release of eight foreigners who remained prisoners in the hands of the brigands.
 The execution Of Sun Mai-Yo is said to have been ordered by Chang Pei-Yuan, military commissioner of Yenchow
