Government,- State and city officials early
today mado four raids with a.utomatc
precision which resulted In the selzuro
of J5000 worth ot cocaine, morphine,
opium and heroin, tho largest amount yet
sozed by those enforcing the Harrison act
In this city, and In the' arrest of live pris
oners, one of whom Is a woman.
Tho raids, which wera made at a time
when things seemed peaceful and quiet,
besides belnij- the most Important yet un
dertaken, are likely to bo far reaching In
.their results. i
Philadelphia, It was learned, Is regarded
by Government authorities as the hot
bed of tho Illegal "dope" tradlc throughout
the wholo, country, and expert chemists
and "dope" experts nreTh this city from
San Francisco, Chicago and Kansas City,
to co-operate In the Government crusade
to stamp It out, ,
It ls understood that one or more
physicians nro to be Implicated as a direct
result of today's raid. By the wholesale
Ailing of prescriptions they have made It
possible for a tew privileged "dope" ped
dlers, Xo effect almost a monopoly of the
Illegal Iralllc.
Those arrested were: Robert Martin
and Thomas Itowan, of 246 North 10th
street; John Sing, 911 Haco street ; Joseph
Doyle, of Summer and 13th streets, and
May Dalton, ot 1315 Quarry street. The
prisoners were taken to the Federal
Building today, and 'will be arraigned be
fore' United States Commissioner Howard
M. Long. They spent . tho night In. the
11th and Winter streets police Btatlon.
Martin was held under ?S50O ball for
court. Itowan also was held for court
under $100. Doyle was held for court
under 1600 hall. Sing and May Dalton,
the girl, .were held under J 500 bait each
for further hearings.
The raid at, 246 North 10th street was
by far the most Important of the four. It
was filled with thrills, which were cli
maxed only by the rich "dope" haul made
there. In all nearly $6000 worth was
taken. It filled three suitcases, a score of
large and smajr packages, complete lay
outs, needles, quills, toys, sniffers and
minute scales, such as are used by expert
dope peddlers, and which' are said to be
marvels of human Ingenuity.

FnANKLIN FIELD, May 6.
Straw hats by the thousand dotted this
arena today for the Penn-IIarvard base
ball game, the I'enn-Dartmouth dual track
meet and the Penn-Swarthmore lacrosse
game.
Dy twos and threes, by tens and
twenties, by hundreds and hundreds they
came, filling the tiers of 'seats. They
blazed vhlte In the sun around the
oval. '.hey sparkled and scintillated.
Triumphantly they proclaimed that today
was Straw Hat Day. Henceforth, until
the fogs of autumn descend upon the I
uruwii cm in, jci iiu man wear if nai save
it be or straw,
What mattered It If the Dartmouth and
the Ited and lllue track, heroes grappled
In Penn's first dual meet of the season?
What mattered It If the fast-fleldlng Har
vard baseball nine, wearing the laurels
of last year's Intercollegiate champions,
opened a cannonade against Old Penn
with their bludgeons, while the great
Mahan, with Whitney and Qarrltt, basked
in the admiring gaze of the Crimson fol
lowers? It was Straw Hat Day and all
eyes were upon the straw hats.
And malevolent looks were caet at the
derbies and soft hats of winter. More
than that, from Penn students' throats
barked the war cry. "Get that hat !" and
the crunch of derblgs, dying miserable
deaths, arose on every hand. Destruction
glared from the eyes of the self-appointed
hat censors, and destruction was abroad
In the land. Like the head-hunting Pyaks,
the hat-hunters gloated over the carnage.
He who had $3 or $2 or $1 50, or even
11 wore a straw hat today. He who had
walked up Chestnut street this morning
with- brown felt headgear quickly under
went the necessary metamorphosis before
he showed his face on Franklin Field.
There were sennets. Canton splits, Milan
and Porto Illcan; there were sawtooth
and cable-edges, and pineapple braids and
fancy weaves; from this spot gleamed a
yellow Leghorn; from, that modestly
blushed a, brownish Bangkok.
There was one yedda, hat of tubular
straw of the vintage ot 1811. its wearer
had, for some weeks, neglected his barber
and his tailor, If he had one, presumably
was starving. But It was a straw bat
Persona smothered la heavy winter

CANADA LIFTS EMBARGO AGAINST U. S. CATTLE
An edict that, it Is believed, will have a. far-reaching effect on unsettled cattl

tions of the Importations of cattla and by-products from "this country into Canada.
One of the reasons for the bar hitherto in force against United States cattle vas
the foot-and-mouth disease prevalent In cattle States; another was tho attack
on tho "Beef Trust" by the British Government, which alleged unwarranted price
increases following the war. The order was taken as an Indication of recent
scarcity ot came in t'anaoa. Large exportatlons to Canada may increase meat
