EVENING LEDGERr-PHILiU)ELPHIiV. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. 191tt. HI f the, narcotic drwgs Known "to the medical wrid. A former chlf deputy In th Internal "'WW Department said that It dIMioneat "" 11 w1tr or mnger ot h In rue pill concern ould throw largo quantities of narcotla ruga Into Illegal channel! by very slm Jh subterfuge.

Two minmw of the factory cnn very easily arrana to put In less than one-elghth of train and have a, large balance of mor- ?"lM left over each week for Illicit tramc. hla subterfuge It often practised. QinLS LED INTO HABIT Many of the employee of drug-manufacturer concerns are drug addicts, made so by conetant association with "dope." In one plant devoted to the manufacture of pill containing morphine many of the Kins employed there are either morphine or heroin "fiends," These unfortunates have become such devotees of the drug that when they atop work on Saturday they ar obliged to take home enough dope to last them over Sunday. Foremen of tlio plant have taken advan tage of the plight of the young women to prey upon their morals. Theie foremen tefused to dolo out to the girls their Hunday -ppIy of drugs until they have consented r ,M departure from the moral path. vupiain v j .Norton, or. me voiuniers ef America told the writer Mat ho believed that Philadelphia was the greatest "dope" distributing center In the Kant. "In our Refuge for O rla. at 91 1 Spring street, hardiy a day passes but what we see the effect of the 'dope tramc upon the young wmen of the city. Cvlts are using lierqln and cocaine to eiislo young women for the white slave frame Thy keep th girls who nre worklnir for them naMaded with dally distribution of 'dope." Mrs Jane Itlppln, supervising probation officer ot Quarter Sessions Court. She told the writer that sho had found that fully two-thirds of these women were drug ad dicts. This testimony Is further strength ened by condition disclosed borore the July Grand Jury, which Investigated the July IE raid In the Tenderloin Witnesses testified that large quantities of narcotic drugs were, found In disorderly htuses raided by the police. Doctors Joseph Melver and Oeorge K. Price, who treated 147 "fiends" at the Philadelphia Hospital, make the following report In regard to these cases: "Forty-three of the cases were females and the majority of these were unfortunate women , some few of the men were or had been cadet. A number were notorious crooks and thieves." D. Clarence Olbboncy, of the Law and Order Society, who conducted the July 15 raid, told the writer of the part Chinatown Is playing In spreading the drug scourge In Philadelphia. "purine the Investigation prior to the raid," he said, "two of my Investigators found J7 young girls In a Chinese opium den la Chinatown. All were under the in fluence of opium. Not one of these girls appeared to be over 21 years old. "it has become a common sight now to ea young girls fish in their handbags on the street and sniff heroin or cocaine. I be lieve that the Harrison act should be per fected so as to nip In the bud this frightful drug scourge. If fathers and mothers could aee conditions as they are they would rise up and demand that something be done. It Is frightful -to see these young men and women with bloodless faces and shaking hands creeping about our streets." Social workers, who have a closer view of the secret worklngB of Chinatown than either the policeman or Internal revenue offi cer, say the lure of opium smoking attracts men and womea of higher walks of life to Chinatown. A social worker said he knew that women of social standing made regular vlsts to obscure dens In Chinatown to "hit the pipe." "Some of them," he said, "ride to the edge of the Tenderloin In their automobiles. Then, heavily veiled, they walk into China town. A number of women of humbler sta tion In life are virtually slaves of China men. Many ot the Chinamen In Chinatown have white wives, and It was the lure of the opium pipe that degraded these women." CASK OF TlTHEk WILSON In a small rural community near Potts rllle. Pa., lived a 17-year-old girl whom we will call Ethel Wilson. Ethel was a pretty girl and had all of the freshness and vigor of the country- She was the oldest of eight children. Her father was injured while working In the fields, and the family Income stopped. Ethel bravely responded to the crisis. She volunteered to go to Philadel phia and seek a Job, She made the rounds ot the stores, but soon found her lack of experience barred her. When evening came she Was a tired, discouraged girl. She was racked with -V homesickness, and she wished from the bottom of her heart that she was back home The hols and bustle ot the un sympathetlo city wearied and bewildered her Her stock of money was small, and she was faced with th necessity of seeking cheap lodging for the night She unwit tingly took lodgings in the Tenderloin. The next day she mado the rounds of th em ployment offices, seeking work as a domes tic. Her lack of references proved a seri ous handicap. No one had any work for her. Worn out and footsore, h again wandered Into the Tenderloin 8he went Into a cheap restnurant for a cup of coffee and a sandwich. This restaurant was a favorite meeting place for "dope1' fiends, who Included cadet and women bf the underworld. The bloom and freshness of the Country girt quickly attracted the attention of the wolves. Seated at a table near Ethel was a woman, flashily dressed. She saw that the girl was discouraged She flashed Kthel a friendly smile. It was the first sign of rlendllness that Ethel had seen since She arrived In l'hllailelnhl Inn riav hrnr It brought a great lump Into her throat and tears Into her eyes. "Now, little kid, tell me all about It; jou'ie had some hard knocks, I know, and maybe It will mske you 'eel better If you tell me all about It. Perhaps I csn help you" i Elliel, bctm-een sobs, poured out her story, Tito woman was quick to apply the rem edy" of the Tenderloin to the case. "Here, kid," she said: "you stop crying nnd tako thli; It will mnke you feel better" Sho gae Ethel a little package of heroin powder and told her how to sniff It up he-noa E'hl followed Instructions. The effect was magical, Her depression was swept nway, The worla became bright again. "Now, come with me," said the woman. Trustfully Ethel went. She was taken to a "heroin party," In n short time heroin murdered the morals of this little girl from the country. It made her nn easy prey for the cadets who attended the party. A few days later Colonel Alice V. Hcrron, of the Volunteers of America, found the girl wandering, dated Sho took her to the Ilerugo for Cllrh at 911 Spring street. Ethel remained at the Ttefus-a for two h weeks, where she was under the especial care or amjor Hattle Hopkins, who has saved scores of young women who have been caught In the Rnarcs of the Tenderloin. At the end of the two weeks Ethel nil re turned to her mother. On her soul was left a scar which a llfetlmo will not erase. The heroin, or "snow party." w hlch pushed Ethel Wilson down tho moral ladder Is a recent ltinoatlon of the drug evil In this City. It has proved a great boon to the "dope syndicate" In creating hundreds or new customers among young men and women, according (o Internal revenue officers. The "heroin party" has made the call of tho vice district doubly Insistent during the past few months. It Is but n "social phase" of the Philadelphia drug scourge. After the manner of alcohol addicts, heroin fiends hae discovered that there Is a. strong ele ment o( enjoyment In sitting about tables In the rear of cheap restaUfrfrfn and saloons sniffing heroin In company. Social workers ray that many young men of good families who have gone, Into the Tenderloin on "slum ming trips" have taken their first sniff of heroin at a "snow party." Physicians unite in saying that one sniff of heroin Is sum dent to upset the morals of the aerage person. CASE OF JENNY BROWN Jennie Ilrown, 18. worked In a 'laundry, Her wages amounted to 18 a week. She was the solo support of a widowed mother. She was not a cry strong girl. The hours were long In the laundry and the work would hae taxed the strength of a stronger wo man. Jonnle began to hae seere head aches and backaches. It was misery for her to work In the hot, Bteamlng atmos phere. Then one day another girl In the laundry said to Jenn'e: "Why don't you try some of this powder? I used to suffer like you do. but I got rid of It by using this stuff." It was heroin powder, but Jennie had never heard of It before. She, thought that It was harmless because her fellow-worker was using It. So she sniffed th.e powder and the effect was so swift that sho tried It again. She soon became a confirmed addict and becamo a regular customer of narcotic drug peddlers. A few weeks later Jennie lost her Job and drifted to the Ten derloin. She was picked up by Major Hattle Hopkins. Major Hopkins reclaimed the girl after many weeks of careful work.

TO STAMP OUT "DOPE" TRADE Internal Revenue Bureau and Investigators Join to Halt Growing Traffic Say White Slavers Are in It WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. In a new effort to stamp out commercialized vice, the Bu reau of Internal Revenue and the Federal Bureau of Imestlgatlon have Joined forces and ore launching a sweeping Investigation, natlon-wfde In scope, It was announced here today. The experience of both bureaus working Independently has shown that the white slave traffic and dealing In forbidden habit-forming drugs are businesses almost Invariably carried on by the same coteries of criminals. White sUvers are drug addicts to a large extent, anil, furthermore, they use hahlt- tormlng drugs In obtaining victims for their tramc, the Independent Imestlgatlons of the two bureau have conclusively shown. The campaign against white slavers In New York city was largely responsible for bringing about the new concerted ictlon of the Federal bureaus. Taking valuable clues from Prosecutor Swann's Investiga tions in New York, the Federal agents plan to scour the country In an effort to reduce the vicious traffic. Contrary to popular belief, the white slave traffic throughout the country hos not fallen off, but. If anything, has Increased during recent years, according to the Bui reau of Investigation. An average of one new case a day la reported, It is stated. ISot all of these turn out to be cases In volving commercialized vice, but many of them do, according to the officials. Evidence gathered by the two bureaus will be compared, and If the facts procured on one charge are Insufficient to bring about conviction the other set of facts will be used. By Joining forces In this manner t Is believed a long step will be taken In suppressing vice. CHARLES F. WEBER DEAD Noted Watchmaker and Old Resident Succumbs Charles F.
