NEW YORK, Dec. IL. Q.N.S).---
The trail of the international drug
ring believed to have been financed
by Arnold Rothstein led today to
three New York millionaires, sus-
pected by Federal authorities OF hav-
ing been associated with the slain
gambler in his dope traffic.
United States Attorney Charles III.
Tuttle, whose activity in the cam
paign against narcotics has resulted
in the apprehension Of two men and
two women, revealed that his as
sistants are attempting to track
down the three millionaires. Their
names were not revealed.
20 Syndicates Traced
Federal authorities revealed yes
terday that 20 large dope" syndi-
Gates with a pool agreement" for
territorial rights, defense funds and
financial backing were operating in
this country with Rothstein as the
money provider. 1t is believed that
the three men sought were associated
with the master gambler in this zen

playing pals who is held as material
witness insconnection with the shoot
ing at the Park Central Hotel here
on November 4. It was said at the
district attorneys office that Stajer,s
revelations had thrown considerable
light on Rothstein's dealings with
individuals in this city and that ad-
ditional arrests might be expected
soon.
McManus Still Silent
AS a reward for breaking his
silence, Stajer's bail was reduced
from S1OO. 900 to $4,000 and he
obtained his release. The author

obtain any detailed statement from
Smiling George" McManus, under
indictment with three others for the
murder.
Meanwhile other clues in both
the homicide and narcotic angles OF
the case petered out, The testimony
of Leo Maloney, alleged associate
Of Rothstein who was brought here
from Atlantic City after stating that
he knew the murderer, was re-
garded as worthless in view or his
later assertion that he was drunk
at the time his statement was made.
The contents of a mysterious
trunk found in the Park Central
were said to be "very disappointing
when examined by investigators. 1t
had been predicted that important
clues would be found in the trunk.
Rumors that Joseph A. Warren
would be asked to resign as police
commissioner within the next few
days because of widespread criticism
of the part played by police in the
Rothstein investigation, gained
credence today. The critics declare
that the department was unduly
tardy in starting a search for the
murderers and that Rothstein had q
secret connection with the depart.

COOLIDGE I'D { A
EXPLAINED
RUTH ELDER

The impression which seems to
have gained currency, that he is
in favor of establishing a summer
White House was corrected yester-
day by President Coolidge. The
publicity given the Presidents mes
sage to the st. Louis Dispatch
on it's fiftieth anniversary caused
him to explain more in detail what
he really had in mind.
1t would be an excellent thing
Mr.. Coolidge holds. for the Presi-
dent to have an additional home
somewhere, within two hours motor
distance from Washington, where
he would have an opportunity for
much needed weekend relaxation.
He believes that ground now owned
by the Government at Bluemont,
Va, where the Department of Ag
riculture sought to establish
weather station, would make an
ideal site. as 1t has the proper
altitude and Is only IS miles from
Washington.

DRIVE ON DRUGS
IS UNDER WAY
At CAPITOL
By WILLIAM S. NEAL
international News Service

Disclosure of vast international
dope" smuggling scheme in the
Rothstein murder investigation in
New York has spread alarm in
Congress with the result today that
definite movements were put under
way to check the drug evil in the
nation.
Representative Stephen Porter
R.) of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. indicated that he was pre-
pairing to seek Congressional action
to halt violations of The Hague
opium treaty by European nations.
Additional appropriations for
Federal enforcement were demanded
by Representative Fish (R.) of New
York, and Representative Black
D.J of New York. proposed new
authority for the purchase of eVi-
dence against gigantic narcotics
gyndicates.
Senator Deneen CR1 of Illinois.
chairman of Senate sub-com-
n1ittee, was said to be preparing d
report urging passage of the Porter
bill providing separate Federal
prisons for drug addicts.
Opium Treaty Fl0uted
Returning from personal investi-
CATION into the 2othstein case in
New York. Representative Porter
declared that the evidence there
mas forged another link in a long
chain of circumstances pointing to
rt,,ls of
opium convention by one or more
European nations.
MY activities in this case are
heading up to positive action on
my part in the near future Porter
emphatically declared.
Although declining to divulge the
probable course of action. he said
that it would be Congressional. 1t
Is believed that Congress may be
asked to investigate international
drug smuggling activities and
present a formal record to the
world of violations by European
nations.
1T is obvious to everyone that
they have violated this treaty by
failing to enforce its provisions, WA
the result that dope rings exist
throughout the world" Porter said.
Names Chief NiOIatOrs
He named zone or more" Of five
European countries as the chief vio-
iators, and asserted that in some
European nations dope is sold by
factories with the same freedom that t
kood is sold.
The House having already passed
