NARCOTIC RING
LEADERS HUNTED
AnsIinger Links Capture of
13 With Honduran Revo-
Iutionary Plot.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Treasury agents today were con-
tinuing a search for three members Of
a narcotics ring uncovered in New
Orleans with the arrest of 13 men
linked by Commissioner of Narcotics
Harry J. Anslinger with a revolutionary
plot against the Honduran government
and the assassination of Dr. Francisco
Sanchez, director of public health in
Honduras.
The commissioner said the arrests
were made In a series of Saturday
night raids and constituted "the most
important capture Of the year." About
$4,000 worth of heroin was seized.
Planned to Buy Arms.
Investigations begun by his agents
last March Anslinger said, disclosed
that the proceeds from the sale of the
heroin was to be used for the purchase
of guns for the opposition party in
Honduras He said these arms were
to be shipped before the next elections
in the South American republic.
Anslinger said that a short time
officer. was killed for refusing to is
sue a certificate for the release of
these narcotics"
This assassination has been traced
to the ring" he said.
The commissioner described the mar
cotics seized as part of a legitimate
shipment from France to the Hon
duran government several years ago.
He was unable to say in detail how
and when 1t was smuggled into the
United States after Sanchez's death,
but emphasized that his agents had
traced its movements definitely to the
captured ring
Recently, Anslinger said, his agents
arrested Henrique Coindet of Hon.
duras in New Orleans, with a supply
of narcotics.
The commissioner said the arrests
and seizure of the contraband were
accomplished by only four agents
working under the personal direction
OF j. B. Greeson, the New Orleans
supervisor.
Used Two Fast Yachts.
Anslinger said equipment employed
by the narcotics ring consisted of at
least two fast yachts, one of which
was capable of making Is knots, with
a cruising radius of $500 miles.
Actual contact with Honduras, he
said, was made with small speed boats
which landed at obscure islands ad-
joining Honduras. The heroin was
dropped overheard in the marshes
around New Orleans, concealed in in
fated rubber bags, and later picked up.
The commissioner said those ar
rested claimed New Orleans as their
home, were comparatively young men,
and gave these names to the agents:
Earl Strange Nicholas Mena Allan.
Edward Shapiro two who called them
selves John Doe" Vincent Pecoraro,
Red" Watson. Courro, alias Jose
Galero; Anthony Jurick, Nick Sansone.
Joe Segretti, Sam Carrolla and Sam
Alonza. He said they were in the
Federal Prison in New Orleans and will
be arraigned for violation Of the Har-
rison narcotics act.
Anslinger said those being sought are
Alfred Rama, Baldo Pausina and a
man known as D'AuguStine.

officer said. that military observers
are welcomed only when there is
something some great power wants to
display-and the Italians are not in
the position Of showing off. just at
present. The conflict here is between
first class power and fifth class
power-betWeen an army equipped
with every modern device and an
army that has precious little except
native skill and crude weapons to give
it comfort"
In such cases, as when the United
States Army fought the cohorts OF
Aguinaldo. and when the British
fought the Beers, there was never
any great desire on the part of the
stronger forces to let the whole world
know what they were doing.
Times Have Changed.
1t all goes back to what the powers
at war want. In 1904, when Japan
fought the Russians, it is pointed out
that they welcomed the other armies
of the world to send military observers.
Since that time-and the World
War-life has changed.
So far as the Italian Army is con-
cerned, America probably knows more
about its equipment and f1exibility
than any other nation-for America
has had an air and military observer
in Rome these past l8 years. So it
was learned from high authority.
While our military attache at Rome
was not invited to go along to Ethi-
opia with the fighting Italians he
has, nevertheless, had vantage point
during the period Of preparation.

PROTEST ON SHIP
BAN IS UNLIKELY
II Duce Is Said to Have
Weighed Loss to Liners
in War Cost.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The State Department has received
no indication, either from the Amer
lean Embassy in Rome or the Italian
Embassy here, that the Italian gov
ernment intends to protest against the
proclamation of President Roosevelt
warning American citizens not to
travel on Italian ships except at their
own risk
In responsible quarters it was stated
today that it was unlikely that Premier
Mussolini would raise this question,
either formally or informally.
President Roosevelt has acted. IN
issuing this proclamation, strictly
within the neutrality act as passed
by Congress.
Section Outlined.
Section of that act provides that
whenever during a war in which
the United States is neutral the
President shall find that the main
tenance of peace between the United
States and foreign nations or the pro-
lection of the lives of citizens of the
CllIlCN SldISo ANHN@AAS N'<N
American citizens should refrain from
travelling as passengers on the vessels
of any belligerent nation, ne shall
SO proclaim. and thereafter no citizen
of the United States shall travel on
any vessel of any belligerent nation
except at his own risk. ~
This section of the neutrality act
is well known to the Italian govern
ment and such a proclamation, it is
stated, was fully expected by Mus
solini. 1t is one Of those measures
which he realizes are inevitable and
which have been taken into consid-
Grafton and discounted when he de-
cided to daunt the League of Nations
and wage war against Ethiopia.
Ready to Pay Price.
Mussolini, it is said in well-informed
quarters, knows what kind of penal
ties will be inflicted on Italy and is
willing to accept these mild sanctions
as price for the conquest of Ethiopia.
There is no doubt that the Italian
transatlantic lines will suffer as a
consequence of the Presidents proc
lamation in the same manner Italian
trade will suffer from the severance
Of trade relations with the nations
members of the League.
Yesterdays proclamation has heart
ened Geneva because the neutrality
act does not make it compulsory on
the President to issue this proclama-
tion. There are no Ethiopian men of
war anywhere in the world and EN-
peror Selassie cannot interfere with
Italian shipping.
British Factor Weighed.
But, it is said in responsible quar-
tiers, President Roosevelt wanted to
take all possible precautions in the
face of any imaginable emergency.
By ordering soon after he decided
that Italy was belligerent the appli-
cation Of section 6 of the neutral
ity act he thought of the possibility
of Great Britain putting into effect
a blockade of Italy. In such a case,
there is no doubt that the lives and
the property of American citizens
travelling on ships flying the Italian
flag would be endangered
In order to avoid a repetition of
the situation which existed during
the World War between the years
1914-19l8, section of the neutrality
act has been put into force at once.

Series Notes
Reported Loss of Tigers
Trunks Causes Near
Calamity.
~ a staff Correspondent Of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent OF The Star.
DETROIT, October IA near
clamity befell the Detroit Tigers early
this morning when their equipment
trunks being shipped from Chicago
were reported lost en- route.
In addition to their road uniforms,
sweatshirts and shoes, the trunks con-
tanned the Tigers gloves and favorite
bats. and the loss might have been
serious factor in the series. The
trunks, however, were located this
morning and rushed to the park, to
the unrestrained Joy of the Bengal.
The pre-game ceremonies aren't the
same now, with Comedian Al Schacht
of the Red Sox off on a Mexican tour
with team of American Leaguers.
With his battered top hat and
tails" Schacht was terrifically popu-
lar with Detroit fans before the first
two games of the series. as he clowned
and helped to ease the tension Of
both players and spectators.
Hank Greenberg again failed to take
his batting practice today. Instead he
sat on the dressing table in the club
house and had his sprained left wrist
bandaged by Trainer Denny Carroll.
Manager Cochrane, anxiously watch
ing him, was dubious as to his ability
to play.
Fred Lindstrom, the regular Cub
center fielder, who sustained fracture
Of finger last Saturday, worked out
in the outfield today and caught fly
balls with his usual dexterity. Indy
has trouble gripping bat though.
Doubt that Lon Warneke would be
available to pitch even in a relief role
tomorrow into the event of a seventh
game grew today when Warneke's
wrenched shoulder muscle was report
ed sore as ever.
Umpire George Moriarty. whose run
In with the Cubs last Friday may
cause him trouble, returned to Detroit
last night on the Cubs special train
and not with the Tiger delegation.
