They knew where bank accounts were kept.
Yet they were not ready to spring their trap.
They were building against the day when they
would spring from ambush in perhaps half
dozen cities simultaneously but not until after
they had located the source of imported supply.
Nor could they develop this all-important
fact merely by questioning those with whom
they now traded on such easy terms The first
tenet of the dope peddler's code is, mo ques-
tions asked" When A sells a package to B,
pays cash, turns on his heels and walks
away. Should he neively ask, Where does
this stuff come from?" he might be put down
in little book.
Next time came upon one of the heavy
weight lookout men who everywhere about
the distributing centers, he would say casually
to the pug: Our little bright-eyed friend B,
wants to know where the stuff comes FRONT"
Theneeforth B would be under closer watch
by the dope ring protective agency than a sus-
pected murderer under the eyes Of the police.
And If B turnd out to be Fed" he might be
dropped in his tracks without trace at almost
any minute Of the day or night.
Manning and Define were wise enough at
least to know what not to do.
Indeed, as it turned out. they were wiser than
that. For after studiouSly reviewing their case
one night in a hotel room, tracing back step by
step every development which led to their
present situation-when they were poised above
one Of the greatest distributing machines in
history-they hit upon tentative scheme to
put the keystone into their amazing structure
They succeeded by one of the cleverest pieces of
detective work in American criminology
The job was so simple that it would never
have served as Van Dine plot-and 1t was SO
good. and so cleverly executed, that it worked
in real life and led to the indictment of 90
persons.
From the numerous packages of evidence
purchased from the distributors at total cost
which now exceeded $4,000, chemists of the
Narcotic Bureau in Washington were able 10
identify the drugs as the produce of Turkish
factories, long known to have operated in the
native quarter Of Constantinople This SIM

Crabtree handed her roll of bills and sat
back, with his engine running while she dis
appeared up the steps and into the house. An
hour later they were back in Brooklyn, the pur-
chase divided. Crabtree went to the Federal
Building.
In another week Crabtree had been presented
to Tony by the woman. He was, according to
the legend Of the world in which he moved
with such great profit to himself, the son of
an italian marquis. He maintained an elab-
crate home on Long island. The Twenty-third
street establishment was a sort of business and
social center. Games were operated but the
house rake only covered costs

that anyone who approached the crate close
enough to examine the markings should be
seized and arrested
Meanwhile, Department of Justice agents
obtained the name Of the shipper from the
steamship company, turned the inquiry over
to the State Department for investigation by
diplomatic agents in Turkey and thereby
established by cable, without ever having
touched the crate Hoboken pier, that it
contained a half-million dollar shipment of
coEtraband narcotics.
The sudden impounding of this shipment
caused wholesale prices to stiffen appreciably
within week. The steady flow of supply had
been checked-and Uncle Sam was sitting on
the pipe line which, had popped above ground
for just an instant on Hoboken pier.
When prices began to skyrocket Define
played his best card. He refused to pay the
advance to his regular sources without positive
assurances that there was some reason for it.

defiantly in Swinford's apartment one night
when the new situation had been limited.
It's real this time" said an independent

agreed, and after few minutes of idle chatter
on the situation he departed.

ment sitting down on the pier. Scared to send
down for 1t. But plenty glad to take advantage
OF little piece in the newspapers to put the
screws on everybody. He's great big fat

Crabtree's brain was racing. He saw new
opening and seized it before the woman could
finish another sentence in her nervous TRADE.

Yes, and you're the kind of worms that bull

men assumed for the time that the smugglers
were shipping in their dope by the direct route
Easyl Check every cargo on every vessel
which has touched any Turkish port. But that
disclosed that drugs come in as dried eggs"
Oriental mushrooms" "spongeS." To exam
Inc ever lot in single cargo is physically i'm
possible.
HERE it was that Anslinger and Manning
ventured their boldest stroke. Through the
ship news reporters who constantly guard Man
hattans wharves, the Feds allowed the story
to leak" that Government men were on the
lookout for large shipment of narcotics from
Turkeyl
papers one day and in two more on the second
day 1t was very light story intimating
merely that Government agents believe that
current stocks OF outlawed drugs are slipping
into tive country from Turkish factories"
There was no hint of the four months in
vestigation which had already revealed the dis
tributng rings reaching from coast to coast.
no suggestion that single importer was sup
plying more drugs to half a dozen rings than
were being consumed in all the legitimate
SclenClnc channels in the country It was n
long shot thus to warn the trade that the
FEDS were watching a hot trail But It
worked.
The theory of this bold gesture was this:
When the drug importers read the news story,
they would decide to let their next incoming
consignment rest on the docks a while. until
the Government men should cool bit. And
so it was
When the steamer Inoko docked at Hoboken
few days later, her cargo was quickly taken
on the pier by swarm OF trucks which ran
In like ants from all points of the compass
Three days after the Inoko dropped anchor
her mountain of boxes, bags and crates had
been gulped down the NAV of American COM
merce and the bottom was preparing for an
other voyage.
But one great box of dairy machinery" re-
NAMED on the wharf. 1t was addressed to the
"Italiano Trading Co., Ltd. New York"
Through cooperation with the customs officers
at Hoboken, the narcotic agents arranged to
allow the crate to remain unmoved indefinitely
Planting his men at strategic points around
their pier, some as longshoremen, others as
customs inspectors. and still others as carpen-
tiers engaged in light repairs, Manning ordered

DR.. Paccard was so exhausted that he sank
in the snow. But Balmat felt his strength
come back to him in his exultation His first
act was to turn toward Chamonix and wave his
hat at the end of his baton then to look
eagerly through his glass at the market place
There they were, cluster of dots showing
that the whole village was there to see. Bal
mat was satisfied; he was the monarch of
Mont Blanc, receiving the due homage OF his
subjects.
Then, as the doctor revived, they turned to
examine the prospect spread below them For
nall an hour they gazed. Then they realized
that 1t was o'clock and that less than three
hours Of daylight were left them in which to
reach the shelter Of the lower slopes.
With another wave to their neighbors in
the valley they started down. Soon Dr. Pac-
card was again near the end of his physical
reserves. Night was already falling around
them when they came to the dificult crevasses

The next day messenger was sent On TOT
Geneva to tell the great news to De Saussure.
The excitement and delight of the latter were
boundless. He instantly resolved that he, too,
would reach.the summit and, without losing
moment, he plunged into preparations.
Within a few days he was in Chamonix,
where he poured out his congratulations ON

obligation of his promised reward With Bal.
mat he laid plans for a new attempt, and orr
ganized large party of guides. But the rain
and snow came on, the climbing season slipped
away. and De SausSure was forced to defer HIS
expedition to the next year. In August, 1897,
with large party he at last succeeded IN
reaching the goal toward which he had been
looking for more than a quarter of a century.

7 was in poor health for many
years. My entire system seemed to
be weak and ailing. The simplest
foods caused me misery and I be-
came so bloated after meals that
my heart action was affected. For
four months l could not lie down
and was forced TO sit erect, even at
night. My liver was sluggish and
my kidneys gave me great deal Of
trouble. Finally my feet and limbs
became so swollen that 1 could not

treatments without benefit until a

WEATHER MAN
CAN'T FORETELL
COLD WINTER
No Method of Predicting
Intensity This Soon,
Says Arlington.
BY ARCH sTEINEL

II you can dream accurately
which way the wind blows while
asleep In an alright room; prog
nosticate to the pound the amount
Of honey to be raised in Indiana in
1881; guess the pin-feathers on a
broiler, and never miss a bridge
hnesse, then you may be able to tell
US whether Indiana will have cold
OF warm winter.
Weather bureau officials can't!
"Forecasting that far ahead Is
like guessing the fall of Indian dice
out of a box at a cigar stand" de-
clared j. H. Arlington, chief Of the
United States government weather
bureau in indianapolis.
Fifty-Fifty Chance
Persons with turn for the caba-
Iistic, or who foretell the weather
with the old platitude, "hot summer
then cold winter" may be right this
year, and then again they may be
wrong, Arlington said.
Mature feels no responsibility in
balancing off the intensity of one
season against the intensity Of an
other" he said. at is said that
nature balances seasonal extremes,
but sometimes we've got to wait a
long time for the balancing"
Five Rain Inches Behind
Nor does rainfall determine our
average winter temperature. For
instance, in 1878 we had 28.99 inches
of rain during the summer, with an
average winter temperature fol-
lowing this rain of 38.5 degrees.
Normal rainfall for the summer
months is 11.31 inches.
This year we're behind five inches
In rainfall and our temperature
ranges 1T degrees higher daily up
TO Aug. 81.
ITO show the wide variance in
forecasting weather by rainfall IN
the year Of 1882 we had a sum-
mer rainy season Of 1923 inches,
against a 28.4 degrees average tenn
perature for the following winter,
Check these figures against the
above heavy rains in 1875 and ex-
tremely warm winter and one sees
there's no telling what nature will
do

PARCEL POST MAY AID
FARM PRODUCE SALES
Pamphlets Tell HOY to Prepare for
Shipping, Give Rates.

BIZ ScYipps-Hotodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Maybe
the postal service will help in farm
relief.
At least, the department Of agri-
culture recently has made available
a pamphlet telling farmers how to
sell their produce by parcel post.
Instructions on how to prepare
such produce for shipping, rates,
and other details are given.
1t is explained that the parcel
post method of merchandising farm
products has not been used extern
sivelv, but the booklet gives promise
til. IN the future the postman may
cooperate more in farm relief.
