Hair-of-the-Dog Idea
Leads Dry Sleuth
To Huge Still

NEW YORK, May 18.-Chief
of Detectives Harry B. Crook,
of Monmouth County, shifted
as he passed four dog houses
on the farm of Ernet Junghaus
on Colts Neck Rd., in Atlantic
township. N. j. Stopping oppo
site the kennels, he observed:
my! MY! A very bad case Of
alcOhOlitOSis, indeed! 1 fear
these dogs have been sampling
a hair of the dog that bit
them"
He peered into the dog houses.
He was surprised to find the
animals all sober and with no
hang-overdog look. But he
noted the dog houses covered
vents and traced them to an
underground still, with a 500.
gallon capacity. Then he az

DODGED
IN TARIFF TILT

The tariff issue, was reversed
yesterday when Senator Goldsbcr.
ough R). Of Maryland, charged
that Democratic votes helped in
corporate many high rates in the
Smoot- -Hawley bill.
In a statement issued through
the Republican national commit
tee, Goldsborough charged Sena-
tor Cordell Hull Cd, of Tennes-
see, with advocating a general
downward revision of the tariff.
He added:
There were 526 Democratic
votes cast to increase the rates
in the present law over the
rates in the FOrdney.Mc Cum
Der bill.
"On two occasions the Demo-
Gratis who now howl so bitterly
about the iniquitOuS rates in
the SmOOt- Hawley act had the
opportunity to vote in favor of
revision of the agricultural
rates alone, and on both Occa-
siOns Democratic votes spiked
the sO-called 'iniquitOus rates
- into the bill"
Senator GoldSborough also re-
piled to Senator HulPs attack
upon the Tariff Commission by
pointing out that the commission
was created under the Democratic
administration of Woodrow Will

Single Persian Port Sending
is Tons Of Opium Yearly;
Addiction Grows in Egypt
BY WINIFRED BLACK
Copyright. 1881, by Universal
Service, Incl

GENEVA, May 1S.-What's the
use. of making all this fuss about
dope?
Read the new report of the
League of Nations Advisory Com.
mittee on the opium traffic, and
you may possibly get a faint idea
Of what is back of the narcotic
conference in Geneva this month.
Here's one of the things that
report tells in calm, careful Eng
lish, with every figure verified.
From one single port of Bushire,
In Persia, Is tons of opium went
out to New York in one single
year.
All Sent Legally
That's the opium that was pre-
pared and sent out "legitimately"
and sent to New York alone, mind
you. Nobody has printed the num-
ber of tons of this, deadly poison
sent out to other American ports
In the last year. Boston, New Or
leans, San Francisco and Seattle
what about them? Nobody knows
officially-yet.
And this dope is all sent legally
and openly. What about the rest
of the poison that leaks into
America by a thousand secret
channels.
Remember that one ton Of
opium and morphine is enough
for all the legitimate uses Of
medicine for one year.
From Other Places
And this is just Persia talking,
remember that. They make opium
in Turkey, and in India, and the
Straits Settlements, too-what be-
comes of all that?
The Egyptians are being flooded
with European and Persian and
Turkish morphine and haSheeSh,
and South American cocaine.
Russell Pasha declares that Tur-
key is sending enormous quanti-
ties of smuggled hasheesh and
heroin into Egypt, and the addic-
tion there is growing every day.

MOSES BACKS BINGHAM
IN NEW TAX PROPOSAL
But New Hampshire Senator Be
lieves Congress Will Reject
Any Such Plan Now.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CONCORD. N. H, April 8.-Senator
George H. Moses of New Hampshire
yesterday voiced approval of the pro-
posal of Senator Hiram Bingham of
Connecticut to levy taxes that will make
all citizens contribute to meet the ex-
pense of Government. However. he saw
little likelihood of its acceptance by
Congress.
Moses said he believed Bingham was
fundamentally right, adding: II have
always believed every person should
contribute a little to the support of
the Government. I have advocated
sales tax. A person ape 20 uuy pre-
sumably is able to pay tax and under
the system l have advocated whoever
makes the most extensive purchases
would pay the largest tax This dis
cussion is wholly academic, however,
for in the present temper of Congress
neither the sales tax 1 have in nliTsa
nor the taxes that Bingham favors
would have the smallest chance of get
ting approval
Bingham proposed what he termed
nuisance tax to make every citizen con-
tribute to Government support on the
theory such contribution would make
the demands on public treasury fewer.
