100000 Worth of
Dope Found in
Trunk at New York

New York, Aug. 5-P)-A large,
black steamer trunk that was I'M
loaded with other baggage from the
Montreal express at the 125th street
station of the New York Central
here early today was seized by Fed
eral agents and found to contain
100000 worth of narcotics. 1t is be-
Heved that the narcotics were SNUG
gled to this continent from Russia.
The trunk was sent out of Russia
to Switzerland and thence to Mon
treal. the federal agents believe. Two
similar trunks are believed to be en-
route to New York and a watch was
set at all the railroad terminals in
the city. The total value of the con-
traband in the three trunks is about
100000.
The government agents had been
working on the clue for two months,
and the trunk was located by Mi
chael j. Collins, a special agent of
the treasury department, who had
been working incognito at the sta
ton as a baggage smasher.
The trunk was marked only by the
name Burns and the number 297 555.
1. was removed to the customs house
when 10 one claimed it. The mar
cotics were packed in cans.
Although the legitimate value of
the narcotics seized was given as
100000. the supply confscated prob
ably would have been sold for $1,000
900 according 10 the government
agents. On this basis they arrived
at the estimate of S3,000,000. as the
selling value of the illegal shipments
in the three trunks.

I'VE call upon the president and
the state department to put an end
to this ignominious contempt which
has been shown by Gales for Ameri-
cans appeal and to resolutely de.
mand protection for American citi-
zcns and that they be treated with
the same consideration and respect
which is shown to Mexican citizens in
this coutry. On occasions less acute
than this, and where the circum-
stances were more remote from AM
erican contracts and far removed
from our borders, geographically and
otherwise. the American government
has expressed its sympathy for the
struggle Of oppressed people to real
ize their ideal of liberty and the
stories Of Cuba, Ireland, Kishinev and
Hungary and other similar historical
incidents testify to the warm SYM
pathy of the American people with
the downtrodden and oppressed of
any nation to throw off the yoke of
despotism.
1.-THE period Of 'watchful waiting
or any other such procedure is over.
We. as American citizens, demand of
our government that this action be
taken forthwith.
1--WE particularly call upon the
American Federation Of Labor and
its affiliated organizations to heed
this appeal to cooperate with us to
safeguard not only American rights
but the hard-won victories of labor
itself to protect it from servile sub
mission to destructive powers of a
militaristic and communistic form Of
government"

throughout the republic. Constantly
increasing fear is being shown IN
Mexico City, despite an attempt to
minimize the results of the boycott
To observe the central business
section of Mexico City one would
think nothing was wrong. There is
every outward appearance OF nor

but there is more than the usual
proportion Of window shoppers who
do not enter to buy.
Attendance at motion picture per-
formances has slumped, and numer-
Gus small shops in the suburban
residential sections and outlying VII
lagos are reporting reduced sales
Apparently the poor and middle
class people are the ones who are
obeying the boycott.
Government officials think that the
fears of the boycott and the asser-

some sections. have been exagser-

ness of the boycott is much greater
than is indicated by information
reaching the capital.
Foremost foreign business men, as
well as foreign official observers. at
tempting an. impartial appraisal,
think the situation is serious, al
though to what extent they cannot
say. They see every prospect of il
becoming worse unless some under
standing, which is not in sight at
present, develops.
While belated reports of disturb

Grand Manan Is To
Have Two New
Lobster Pounds

Eastport, Me. Aug. 5-(P1-Two
huge lobster pounds are under con-
struction at Grand Manan Island in
Passamaquoddy Bay. so that city
jewellers will be assured of one of
the most popular of sea foods dur
ing the closed season and an impor-
tant branch of the fishing industry
here will flourish the year round.
Lobster fishing is one of the prin-
cipal occupations of the fisherfolk of
this part of Maine. During the open
season on Holsters, which lasts from
Nov. Is to the following June s, in
habitants of the fishing settlements
put out with their dories piled high
with lobster pots, which they lower
to the ocean bed close to the reefs
and lodges that are the Holsters ia =
vorite haunts. Throughout the sea-
son, fishermen are kept busy haul
ing their traps, for nowhere are lob
sters more abundant than along the
rocky coast of Maine and the mari
time provinces.
AS the catch during the open sea =
son usually far exceeds the market
demand, pounds are built to keep the
superf1uous catch alive and available
for shipment during the summer
months when the season is closed ana
prices are high. With the completion
of the two pounds now being built,
Grand Manan will have three of
these enclosures. One of the new
pounds will have capacity of 10000
Holsters.
Another important branch of the
fishing industry has just got under
way with the opening of the sardine
in starting, prospects are good for a
successful season, and the sardine
fishermen have been bringing in
large catches. A recent advance in
smoke herring prices has been a
boon to the fishermen.

provisions varying from ACC of to lSc

With harvest nearing completion in
the more advanced sections of the
American northwest the movement of
the American spring wheat crop is in
creasing. Reports of wheat better
than expected in parts of the domestic
spring crop bit were a bearish factor.
Besides, advices today from field OBJ
servers in Canada told of favorable
weather and indicated less likelihood
of minimum production which recently
has been looked for by some authori-
ties. In particular, Saskatchewan is
reported to have a larger crop than is
generally supposed.
Corn rallied in the late trade hot

Red Cross Captain
Gives Instructions
To Elm City People

Captain Robert Miller Of the Red
Cross, was in the city yesterday lee
turing and demonstrating resuscitat-
ing and fire aid before some of our
city departments. In the afternoon
he gave instruction to many children
at the College avenue playground
teaching the youngsters how to res
cue drowning person, and many
other valuable suggestions as to the
application of first aid to the injured.
At 4:30 P. NJ. he talked before the
members of the police department in
the council rooms giving demonstra-
tons of the latest approved methods
of reviving the drowned. In his talk
he mentioned the fact that nearly all
departments in the principal cities
had discarded all mechanical appH-
ances such as pulmotors, lung mot
ors, etc, believing the prone method
to be more effective in saving life.
1t is not matter, he said, of expell-
ing water from the lungs, as it has
been noted that very little of it ac-
tually gets in, as was once supposed
to be the case. Water gets no farther
than the CLOTHS when a person is un-
der water for any length of time. the
passage to the lungs closing auto
mdt1Cally What really happens is
this: The lungs, unable to expell
the poison gasses and take in a sup
ply of pure air, liberate these poisons
into the system, resulting in con-
dition similar to gas poisoning. What
water gets into the body is usually
found in the stomach, which in Itself
is not at all serious. He instructed
the officers as to the latest methods
of applying artificial respiration by
laying the victim face down and ex-
erting heavy pressure on either side
of the back bone at a point between
tn hips and the floating ribs. All
present took a lively interest in the
proceedings, practicing on one an
other with much enthusiasm.
At P. NJ Captain Miller gave a
similar demonstration at the Central
Fire Station. Today the Lions Club
will furnish transportation to China
Lake where exhibitions of rescue
work will be given.
Captain Miller will go from here to
Boston, then back to Belfast, which
will finish his work in this territory
for the year.

WATERVILLE WOMAN
FOUND GUILTY ON
LIQUOR CHARGE

The case of Mrs. Mary Carey, cor
ner of Moor and Pine streets, which
had been postponed until next Tues
day because of the non appearance of
a witness for the state. was heard
Yesterday afternoon before Recorder
J. A. Letourneau, of the Municipal
Court. Edward Blackstone, the
states witness was on hand to testi-
fly with Chief of Police Gaskell in
the matter of a single sale charge
against the defendant.
Mrs Carey was represented by F.
Harold Dubord, who subjected the
Witnesses to a lentghy examination.
According TO statements made by Mr..
Blackstone it was not unusual for
him TO get a call from the Carey
home requesting him to come down.
Upon showing up he was invariably
given a drink of alcohol or other in
toXicating liquor which was sufficient
to get me started" The witness
acknowledged a weakness in resisting
the temptation of strong drink, say
ing that after the first drink he
lacked the will power necessary to
save him from a prolonged spree
When asked what motive impelled
him-a drinking man-to act as a
so-called "spotter," he answered that
he was sick and tired of being lured
to squander his money in this fas-
hion. Asked if any inducement had
been offered him, or any promise of
remuneration or leniency relative to
a prior arrest for drunkenness, he
said that nothing was offered or
promised. He further stated that he
had lent Mrs. Carey SIS, and a little
later he gave her a check in the
amount of SIS with which to make a
purchase at a nearby store, but
could not remember getting any
change back. To many of the ques-
tons put by Attorney Duborn he
claimed a lack of memory, admitting
that his mind was very defective in
the matter of recalling the attendant
incidents of the case He also admit
ted having been twice sent to an in
stitution for the trea tment of mental
diseases few years ago.
Chief of Police Franklin D. Gas
hell on the stand stated frankly that
the plan for getting evidence against
Mrs. Corey had been pre- arranged.
Many complaints had been entered
against the house. and that the place
mad been searched before, but moth
Ing found. Going down with Black
stone on July %, he allowed the lat
Ter to make purchase of half pint
OIL what is alleged to be alcohol,
searching the man and relieving him
OF 1t as he came out.
Mr. Duborn told the court that the
evidence of Mr.. Blackstone, who ad-
united having a poor memory could
hardly be taken seriously. The Judge
implied that the court also had the
testimony of the chief of police whose
memory was to all intents normal.
IN respect to the evidence present
co. Mr.. Letourneau said he would

how they would like to have proper
