DRUG RING SEEN
IN OTHSTE|N
MYSTERY

NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-While the
police. smarting under a rebuke from
Mayor James J.. Walker. put fresh
impetus today into their search for
the murderer of Arnold Rothstein,
master gambler and white light"
millionaire. the general inquiry
swung closer to the drug ring with
which some of Rothstein's associates
are alleged to have been identified.
There were two developments
which indicated that some of Roth
stems tenderloin business asso-
ciatesp or friends had been connected
with the illicit importation and sale
of narcotics.
1. United States Attorney Charles
II. futile has begun an inquiry of
the whole ''Rothstein case because
of his discovery that Sidney Stajer,
one of the beneficiaries in the slain
gamblers will, had been arrested last
July as an international peddler Of
opium.
2. Sarah Graham Mulhall, former
narcotic investigator. revealed to In
ternational News Service. that Col.
L. G Mutt, of the United States
Narcotic Bureau. told her that Roth.
STEMS name had been brought into
the inquiry through the arrest or
detention of several men who are
said to have been business friends
of the murdered gambling king.
Officials expressed belief that.
when Rothstein's safe deposit box
is opened papers will be found to re-
veal or disprove his alleged connec.
tiop with the international syndicate
of dealers in contraband drugs
In the face Of scathing newspaper
comment upon the inability of the
police to run down the killer of
Rothstein, Mayor Walker has gwen
the detective bureau four days in
which to find the assassin. If he
is not in Jail by Monday night. the
mayor said. he would decide upon
fresh action"
