$5,OOO,OOO Narcotic Raid in
New York by Federal Agents
Authorities Take Ton of Drugs From French
Liner IN New York Said to Be Largest Seizure of Its Kind
on Record Officers Search for Consgnees AT Philadelphia
Where Narcotics Were to Be Shipped

New York, Dec. 18.-One ton of
narcotics, valued by federal authori-
ties at $5,OO0,000, was seized Tuesday
night by special agents of the treas
ury department at Hudson river
pier.
The SEIZURE was described by Unit
ed States Attorney Tuttle as the larg-
est of its kind on record.
Tuttle said that arrangements for
bringing IN the contraband, which ar
rived Friday on the French liner
Rochambeau, had been made bv a
man named Klein, a name which was
one of the aliases used by Joseph I'm
ger, recently arrested on narcotics
charges growing out of the Staying
OF Arnold Rothstein, Broadway gamb-
ler.
The narcotics, contained in five
large packing cases, were marked as
being trans-shipped to an unidentified
consignee in Philadelphia.
The agents made their estimate of
the value of the cargo on a hasty
survey of the one case they opened.
The cases were each large enough to.
have contained a small automobile
and the agents said the seizure might
turn out to be one of the largest in
the history Of the port. Plans were
made to dispatch agents to Philadel-
phia to attempt to find the con-
signees.
The Rochambeau docked at pier 81
In the North river but the cases were
seized at another pier where they had
been taken ostensibly for shipment to
Philadelphia.

LANCER STATES PLAN
FOR new N. D. DAILY

Williston. - William LANCER told
about his plan for a new daily news

Attorney William LANCER of Bis
marck was introduced to the audience
ana kept his listeners in a happy mood
for several minutes with a humber of
we'll chosen stories. Mr.. LANCER then
explained the plan for the new pro-
gressive daily newspaper which he in-
tends to found in the state in the near

gre ssive daily nc y naf,r ulldrg me
editorial direction of board appoint
ed by the state executive committee
of the Nonpartisan league. This board
will have complete charge of the edi-
torial policy. Mr.. LANCER explained
that his part in the paper would be
concerned only with the business end
and that it was entirely likely that
the liberal Scripps-Howard newspa-
per publishers would take over the
business management of the paper
under a contract granting the league
executive committee editorial supervi-
sion. This plan would give free edi-
torial rights to the farmers organiza-
tion but would place the business man.
agement in the hands of well trained
and experienced newspaper executives.
"All that is being asked of the
leaguers is that they become subscrib-
ers to the paper. They are not ask
ed to buy stock or in any way obli-
gate themselves other than as sub
scribers.
