EXPEDITION FROM MUSEUMS !.
FINDS MYSTERIOUS POISONS
Many of New Plants DiScov-
cred Remain to Be CIassi-
fled or Identified.
Few of Some Species Have
Ever Been Removed From
Original Habitats.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Nearly 10000 specimens Of plants
from the jungles at the headWaters OF
the Amazon and from Peruvian noun
aintops-including some OF the most
potent and mysterious narcotics ana
poisons known to man-have just been
brought to Washington by joint col
lecting party of the Smithsonian 1nstl-
tuition. the New York Botanic Gardens
and the Field Museum of Chicago after
more than six months in South Amer
lea.
Thousands of the plants remain TO De
identified and studied. Among THESE
are the ayahuasce vine, or caapl, from
which is secured a drug used by tne
Indian medicine men TO produce pro-
phetic visions and which is said TO pro-
duce instantaneous and marvellous ell
fects on the human nervous system.
Very few specimens of this vine have
ever been brought out of South Amer
lea and its identity is still obscure.
When the exploring party, headed by
Ellworth P. Killip Of the Smithsonian
Institution, arrived in one Indian VII
lage they found all the people intensely
excited because a girl under the innu-
ence of ayahuaSco had seen a vision OF
an airplane wrecked in the jungle, and
few days later the crash occurred
lust as she had foreseen it.
by the few scientists who have pene-
trated this region, is quite similar to
the imaginary drug by which DIR. Jekyll,
in Stevenson'S tale, was able to split the
good and evil elements OF his character.
When the medicine man first gulpS II
down he turns deadly pale, trembles In
every limb and the expression on his
| face is one of intense pain and horror
This is followed in about a minute by
| reckless fury, in which he Seizes what
ever lies at hand and starts beating the
trees and ground, screaming that they
are his enemies. In about 10 minutes
the excitement leaves him and he sinks
to the ground exhausted. No Scientif1c
experiments with the drug are known
| but various travellers claim to have
tried 1t.
All say that it is extremely bitter
and hard 10 swallow. Immediately
| afterWard come violent alterations ol
heat and cold, extreme exaltation anC
extreme horror. The actual surround
ines disappear and the man Is plunged
into Authorizations where everything
beautiful he has ever read OF Seems
combined before his eyes. This Soor
changes to a combination OF all thing
horrible.
when I had first partaken," wrot'
an old Spanish explorer, who Is one o
the few white men who have tested tn
drug, IT seemed to enter on an aerla
voyage, wherein ] thought / saw tn
most charming landScapes--great cities
lofty towers and beautiful gardens
Then, all at once, I found myself de
scended In a forest and attacked b.
beasts of prey. against WhqEH tried +
defend myself"

MEUNIER HELD TO FACE
ENLIGHTENMENT CHARGE
Colds Store Credit Manager Under
Bond to Answer for AL
legged $1,000 Shortage.

Arrested yesterday in connection with
an alleged $1,000 shortage in the &C
counts of Colds, at 1914 F street, T.
N. Meunier, "a years old, 1900 block
Park road, former credit manager of
the store, was arraigned in Police Court
today on a charge of embezZlement.
The defendant, through his attorney,
James Reilly, obtained a continuance
until January and was released on
81, 500 bond. Meunier denied the
charges that were placed against him.
but refused to comment further on his
arrest.
According to Headquarters Detectives
E. E. Thompson and Thomas Nally,
the former credit manager of the store
is charged with collecting money on
bills from customers of the firm and
converting the proceeds to his own use
without making note of receipt of the
money on the company's books.
Thompson says that $500 was missed
from the cash register of the store on
the day the defendant left on a trip
to New Orleans, November. Is. At this
time wide police search was insti-
tuted for him by his wife, who was in
formed by her husband that he was
only going to church. Police say the
shortage in the stores accounts was
not known until Meunier returned from
the South, about November 20.
The warrant for the mans arrest
was sworn out by William I. Burdick,
manager Of the store

All Holdings Except Autos Are As
sessed as of July l Under
New Rules.

In order to clarity the new laws re-
iating to taxing personal property, in
GLIDING automobiles, for the taxpayers.
the following statement has been issued
by Tax Assessor William P. Richards:

property, both tangible and intangible
and including money, is made on the

instalments in the following September
and March.

AID IS PROMISED
TO MYSTERY GIRL
Money for Return Home and
Reconciliation With Family
Are in Prospect.

The future doomed much brighter to-
day for Mrs. Antoinette Brewster Rug
giles, youthful daughter OF Selma,
Calf, minister, who took poison week
ago while respondent because OF eS-
arrangement from her family. Cared for
by a nurse furnished by an unnamed
Washington woman and on the road 10
recovery now after four days OF semi,
consciousness, Mrs. Ruggles today had
promises of financial assistance from
her new found friend and the prospect
of a reconciliation with her family.
Capt. William G. Stott of the third
precinct talked with the young woman
late yesterday and was told that when
her condition permitted money would
be made available for her return to her
father, Rev. George w. Brewster. Eff
forts were made today to communicate
again with Mrs. RuggleS' mother, Mrs.
Mabel Brewster, at Oakland, Calf.
The mystery girl disclosed last night
that she swallowed poison while in the
st. Johns Church last Wednesday be-
cause she was out of work and despond-
ent because her family had "disowned
her."
For four days she lay unconscious and
seriously Ill, while several persons tried
to identify her. The name Antionette
Brewster found on a baggage check
among her effects finally led to positive
Identification.
When taken to Emergency Hospital
Mrs. RuggleS mumbled something about
a dope ring and a murder. She dis
counted the statements in her talk with
Capt. Scott last night and said there was
nothing to it." The police have as
certained that she spent two nights at
the Park Lane apartments in November
and one night there this month and ii
was thought that reading of the Nc
Pherson case caused her unconsciously
to comment about it in general terms.

WASHINGTON ADMINISTRATION
CALLED NORMAL FOR BIG CITY
Local Government Defended
by Representative Hall
of Indiana.
Immunity to Newspaper Re-
porterS Opposed by Legis-
Iator in "Y" Lecture.

In Representative Albert r. Hall of
Indiana, member of the House Dis
trict committee, Washington has an
other stanch friend ready to defend it
against inSinuations of corruption, in
efficiency of government and general
misconduct.
Addressing an audience in the lobby
OF the Young Mems Christian ASSocia-
ton last night, Representative Hall de-
clared that there has been too much
talk about the National Capital for its
own good"
Il am one of those who don't think
Washington is such a bad place in
which to live" the Representative said.
Il believe your local form of govern
ment is as good as can be gotten, and
1 am of the opinion that the municipal
administration compares favorably with
that of any of our large cities"
Representative Hall said he would
not deny there may be some room for
improvement in Washington" but he
insisted he could see nothing seriously
wrong here.
The Indiana Representative also an
nounced his opposition to proposed
legislation to give reporters the same
right to protect confidential sources of
information as that extended to ply
SicianS, lawyers and clergymen. He
argued that reporters are not licensed
or otherwise subject to restraint in what
they write, and declared that the press
"can ruin or make a public Official
and that sometimes INSCRIPTIONS re-
porters have ruined men in office.
The legislator made these statements
in the course of the first of a series of
lectures on current events he will give
under auspices of the Y. M. C. A. on

Four CoIored Men Arrested
After Long Vigil in
R Street Garage.
CAR WITH SMOKESCREEN
EQUIPMENT is BAGGED
Two of Trio Escape After Chase
on Marlboro Pike, Near
District Line.

Sergt. George M. Little and his liquor
squad bagged a car equipped with
Smoke-Screen, five alleged boOtleggerS,
and withdrew considerable amount OF
liquor from the Christmas trade in a
series of arrests during their nights
vigil
With Pvt. Manning and Baum of
the eighth precinct, they waited in an
r street garage from midnight to 4
o'clock this morning before the suspect
ed car reported equipped with smoke
screen, made its appearance. Joseph
Edwards, alias "Hippy Lee" colored, 80
years old, of the 400 block of P street,
and James Jackson, colored, 1400 block
Of Eleventh street, occupied the car.

Both men were held on charges of
illegal possession Of a Smoke-Screen
equipage and Edwards on an additional
charge of driving without a permit. In
ability to get his drivers permit re-
stored he told the police, made him
return to the bootlegging business.
Search of their car, however, revealed
no liquor.
1t had been reported that smaller
car had been accompanying Edwards
machine, and sure enough, this put in
an appearance. Alfonso Baylor, 80
years old, 500 block of Florida avenue,
and John H johnson, 1400 block OF

rested on charges of illegal possession
and transportation of intoxicantS.

home of Edwards, where, 1t was re-
ported, they found Is cases containing
l56 quarts of corn liquor. An add
tional charge of illegal possession was
lodged against Edwards.
Earlier in the evening the liquor
squad gave chase to an automobile on
the Marlboro pike near the DlStrlct
line At Alabama avenue and Sixth
street the speeding car stopped and its
three occupants leaped from 1t. In
the darkness two of the colored men
escaped, but Walter Brady Ward, IS,
of the 900 block of Forty-f1fth street
northeast, was caught. He was held
on a charge Of possession and trans
porting.
