Peak Rated One of Most Efficient
Operatives

Joseph Peak, so called, has been out
of the federal narcotic service since
1919, but when he was going good was
one of the most efficient men in the
federal service and turned up some of
the biggest cases on record, according
work for the government
He was a former jockey, weighing
about lis pounds, going under the name
Of Joe" Peak, but his true name was
Thomas Glyder. Col. Mutt first met
him in Tampa, Fla, and found him an
unusually successful agent.
In 1919 he went south in the
service. 1t was alleged that he was
using government transportation for
his own private trips which he had
not been authorized to make for the
federal service. He used this trans
portation from Chicago to New Or
lea'ns, from New Orleans to Los An
ge1es and from Los Angeles to San
Diego, it is said.
Convicted in West.
When he had trailed him to San
Diego Col. Mutt found Peak in Jail,
Acharged with violation of some local
law. He had him arrested. charged
with misuse of government trans
portation, and he was sentenced to a
year and a day in the federal peni-
teITiary on McNeal Island, state of
Washington.
After he got out of that Col Mutt
heard of him as doing some work for
the White Cross Society. an anti
narcotic society which helped to en-
force the law.
The last Col Mutt heard of him was
through the State Department, when
he was reported to be in Jail in Cal
cutta for ilnpersonating a govern
ment officer.

CANTON, May 31.-Joseph Peak:
widely known throughout the United
states as former government mar
cotic agent and later as prohibition
enforcement official, has disappeared
into China's great unknown under
world and all American consuls in
the orient have been notified in hopes
fcT securing trace of his whereabouts.
In the course of his law enforce
ment activities Peak has placed more
han 200 Chinese violators OF the
Harrison drug law in American
prisons, and it is now feared that the
silent. persistent Chinese under
ground drug ring has finally enmesh-
ed the diminutive American officer.
Peak arrived in Canton a fort
night ago and registered at the Asia
Hotel as Joseph MCGEE" He con-
fded to American, Consul Raymond
seeking the lost daughter of
wealthy American client. He showed
Consul Tenney a Memphis police
Identification bureau picture OF an
oklahoma City man who, he as
serted, was the kidnaper of the girl.
Disappears at Night.
That night he started on tour
of Canton3 flower boats" Since
then he has been missing. His bag
gage and confidential papers remain
at the hotel.
While a government agent Peak
worked on many of the biggest cases
of the internal revenue bureau and
Treasury Department. His princi-
pal fields of operations were New
York. Chicago and Washington. At
re time he was central figure in the
unearthinG of big opium theft from
the vaults of the Treasury Depart
ment. Later Peak operated in Chica
go during the days of DIR. William S.

His record also shows many sensa
.ional raids and arrests in govern
ment cases in Boston, Philadelphia,

certain conditions must be fulfilled be-
fore the gates of the courtyard are
opened to the bridegroom and his

a pot or other terra-cotta vessel fast
ened at the top Of the chimney.

again.

cold.

Bayfield,, as he let himself into his
