NARCOTICS
CHIEF IS
HELD
Col. Gray Beach and Aides Ar
rested on Graft Charges
at Chicago
By rnternatIOnaI News service

CHICAGO, Aug. II. Colonel
Will Gray Beach, chief of the
narcotic division of the internal
revenue department for the Chi
cago district, and three of his
trusted agents are under arrest
today as the central figures in
the most sensational series of
raids ever made by the United
States Government against dope
sellers and addicts.
Fifty other prisoners were in
custody and contraband drugs
and stolne property valued at
$4,000 were recovered in the
series of raids which spread ter
ror through Chicago's Chinatown
during the night, officials say. :
Chief of the prisoners arraigned
with Beach were his three most
active agents Denis J. O'Brien,
Alonzo d. Baxter, former Phila-
delphia minister and Harry Deit-
rich, formerly of Philadelphia.
Great Ring Discovered
Arrest of Beach and his associ-
ates, high Federal officers say,
brings to light facts which indicate
that Beach, who for years was re-
garded as one of the most efficient
anti-norcotic battlers in the nation,
actually has participated in a gigan-
tic distribution of habit-forming
drugs.
He is said 10 have. made it pos.
sible for a syndicate Of Chicago
men to gather millions of dollars
by supplying the wants Of the
drug addicts of the country.
The arrests come as the first
scandal that ever has been report.
ed in the Chicago division of the
narcotic office.
According to reports from official
sources, confessions were obtained
shortly before last midnight that
expose the inside workings and
technique of the most gigantic mar.
cotic smuggling and distribution
system ever conceived.
Partly on a basis Of the confess
sions and partly through evidence
gathered secretly during the last
two weeks, series of "dope Joint"
raids was put into execution in all
parts Of Chicago.
Diamonds Also Found
Aided by 100 detectives, Federal
men visited several score of es
adjustments, seized quantities OF
opium and cocaine and arrested
many addicts and distributors.
Arrests of Beach and his three
agents were on criminal warrants
issued by Federal Judge Adam C..
Cliffe late yesterday.
At the same time he signed these
warrants, Judge Cliffe issued war
rants authorizing search of the
homes or living quarters of the
four.
Agents Patrick Roche and C. l..
Converse of the special intelligence
unit of the Department of internal
Revenue. made the raid upon the
rooms of Colonel Beach.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The
adoption 81 pretty-twenty-one-
year-oId Mary Louise Spas, the
seyen-day "Cinderella. was to-

court order.
This action was taken at the
request of Edward w. Browning,
millionaire real estate operator,
who adopted Mary Louise and
then repudiated her after he
learned she was twenty-one and
not sixteen, as she had stated.
The ground for invaIidating the
adoption was Mary Louise's age.

twenty-one.

girls parents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Spas, all agreed that the adoption
should be veided.

relieved of 'salI further responsible
ties or duties toward Mary Louise.
The formal agreement was signed
by all concerned and countersigned
by the court.
Browning was all smiles and
seemingly greatly relieved when
the papers were signed He chat
ted pleasantly with Mary Louise
before and after the agreement
was signed.
Adoption Is VOided
A large crowd assembled in and
near the courtroom eager to get a
glimpse Of the principals in one Of
the greatest human interest TRACE
dies that had been enacted in any
court.
Mary seemed to be just as happy
over the ending Of the episode as
was Browning.
Browning arrived at the surro-
gates office in his Rolls Royce.
Mary and her parents, humble folk
from Astoria, came in a gathering
tRxicab.
After the formalities of signing
the papers, voiding the adoption, all
the principals left the office to-
gether, leaving by a back door.
All got into the same taxicab
and sped off, the Rolls Royce fol-
lowing. The crowd started to follow
on foot.
Some distance from the surro.
gates office, Browning got out of
the taxicab and jumped into his
limousine.

An hour after the adoption was
set aside Browning, Mary and her
parents arrived at Hotel BelIeclaire,

what you have written, believe that
1t has ben long time since you were
really a companion to your husband.
| believe that you have saved so long
that it became a haoit with you, and
you still consider it a crime to spend
dollar for pleasure.
Your story is an old one. Recent
ly the paper were full of a story of
a woman, who, outraged and infuri-
ated because her husband seemed to
be giving more attention to either
women than he was giving her, at
tempted to get a divorce. The husband
told his story. It was something like
this. He made money. He wanted
'tO dress his wife up like a million
dollars" to use his expression, but
she refused to be dressed up. He in
vited her out to dinners, theatres, and
other places, but she refused to GO
Well, to make a long story short
he stopped asking her TO go out, and
went out alone-for a while.
There are many foolish wives max
ing the same mistake-not realizing
that the easiest way to get farther
away from husband is to let other
people have the good times with him
while she remains his saving bank.

should do is purchase some new
clothes, and make myself as attrac-
tive as I possibly could. You were
attractive to him at one time. Nc
reason in the world why you cannot
make yourself just as attractive
again. Surprise him some day by
casually suggesting that it has been
long time since you have seen a
show together.
1t may be that your husband is Civ
ing his time to another woman
again, your suspicious may be en-
tirely unwarranted. But if there is
another woman, the chances are that
he was driven into an infatulation by
loneliness and a longing for COM
panionslrip. If it is merely infatua-
ton, it won't be hard to win him away
from it.
After all, the years you struggled
together mean something to him, and
when he sees that you are really try
ing to make things more pleasant, he
will soon tire of the other woman, and
return to the love Of his youth.
