Committee Investigating hi New
York Prisons Iteports Decrease.
ALBANY, Sept. 13,-That there Is com
paratively llttlo smuggling of drugs nnd
other contraband art class being carried
on In the various state prisons nt tho
present tlmo Is the conclusion reached by
n special committee of the Senate Com
missions which has been Investigating' tha
drug trafllc In Ping Sing, Clinton, Auburn
and Qrent Meadow prisons.
The commlttco attributes the falling off
In tho trafllc to teccnt investigations,
publicity and to special caro exercised by
the prison officials.
Tho report concludes by declaring that
"there la no reason why the smuggling of
di'llg Into n prison should not be stopped,
except in line Instances. The question Is
one uf efficient administration."
WAR AND CANAL OPEfi
AUSTRALIA'S TRADE GATES
Foreign Commerce ExpertVSeea Op
portunity for the United States,
Tho colncldcnco of tho wir and the
opening of tho Panama Camil gives tho
United States a. chance to doublo Its
trade with Australia and New Zealand
according to Dr. Albert A. Snowden, for
clgn trado commissioner for the National
Association of Manufacturers. The na
tions of Germany, Franco, Austria, Bel
glum, Italy, Holland and Switzerland,
which In 1912 supplied Australia with
goods worth $67.47,M0 and Now Zealand
with goods worth $5, IR9.0SO, nra practi
cally provontcd by mobilizations or actual
military operations from producing com
modities for export.
Doctor Snovvdon says that tho United
States can fill practically nil of Aus
tralia's standing order at an acceptable
price. United States exports to Australia
nnd New Zealand In 1012 nmotinted to
JCI.OOIMO. Ho does not think that In tho
expansion movement Great llrltaJn .need
be feared. Tho mother country has nl
wavs stood first on tho colony's books,
but British factories In wartime, ho be
lieves, will havo nil they can do to keop
that position.

Mr. Flnkeldoy Is a physical director at

not wishing to go to councils another
