SIX ARRESTED IN
RAID ON DOPE
[Continued From First Page]
dope of every variety was found by
the officers this morning.
Hidden L'nder Carpets Even
A search under the carpet reveaieS
packs, backs of pictures revealed sev
eral more. Hidden away in drawers,
under mattresses, any place handy
when they felt the effects of the for
mer shots dying out, the stuff was
found.
Last night was a very busy night
for Shuler. He ran in three "street
walkers" about midnight. Three hours
later, he arrested Anthony Penna for
exceeding the speed limit on River
side drive. Penna put up a five-dol
lar forfeit at that time and was al
lowed to go free.
Just a little later, George pulled his
former arrest from the dark closet
when he searched the house.
Plead For Mercy
The crowd was held at the police
station until late this morning. When
the girls heard the rumble of "Black
Maria," the police patrol that was to
bear them to the county jail, all broke
down and Implored the authorities for
mercy. Marie plead that she be given
another chance to leave the town, but'
it was too late. The former chance
had been ignored.
The men prisoners took their fate
nonchalantly until placed in the cells
and the bars grated into place. Penna
had boasted that he was the owner or
a jitney company In Reading and de
clared, "There won't be any trouble
about the bail."
Plead For Drug*
When Chenlworth began to miss the
accustomed "shot" he begged for lust
a little to quiet his nerves. Police
officials had never seen a victim use
heroin and he was given a tiny pinch
on paper. He bent over the "joy dust,"
took one long sniffle and) Immediately
the effect could be noticed.
Both Penna and Chenlworth are
prosperous looking and show no effects
of the use of dope. Ttiorley Is a phy
sical wreck, almost the last stage. Al
though only 22, his sallow features
give him the appearance of a much
older man. Ho is also tubercular, lie
pleads constantly for a clgaret, any
thing to allay the pain of the dying
drugs.

DANIELS CALLS
NEWSPAPERS TO
SUPPRESS NEWS
Patriotic Appeal Is Measure
to Prevent Information on
Ships Getting to Teutons
By Associated Press
Washington, March 10. Following
i.H the statement last night by Secretary
of the Navy Daniels to newspaper
men:
"You have read the statement Is
sued from the White House and now
you know that the President has the
power to arm American merchant
ships making trips on the seas on law
ful errands, and is free to exercise it
at once. I do not think you ought to
ask with what guns they will be armed
or how they will be manned or ex
actly when the power will be exer
cised. The government should be
trusted fully to carry out the policy
announced in the best way.
"I do not think you ought to ask
when the ships will be armed or print
when they will sail. To-day I re
quested every cable company in Am
erica not to send out any news about
ships sailing to or from Europe. The
wireless stations are under the direc
tion of the Navy Department and no
news of sailings will go out by radio.
Voluntary Censorship
"I am going to request you and
every newspaper and every news agen
cy in the United States not to print
any news about the arrival of ships
or when any of them will sail for Eu
ropean ports. There is no power of
censorship in our country. The Presi
dent does not have any authority over
the press. In this time of national
emergency, I feel sure that every
newspaper will accede to the request
not to even give a hint or speculation
of the sailing of American ships. Such
publication might result in the loss of
life. As the reasons are so obvious for
making this request there is. confi
dence in administration circles that
this request wili be complied with by
every paper in the country.
"All patriotic Americans are ready
to make sacrillce for their country in
times of emergency. The press can
render the highest patriotic service by
refraining from printing at this time
what ordinarily they would freely
print.
Might Jeopardize Life
"Inasmuch as it will be impossible
to reach every paper and news agency
directly, I will ask all papers to carry
this request which is made as an ap
peal to patriotism to all journalists
and disseminators of news. The best
news the readers can have is that the
government will protect the rights
of America to the freedom of the seas.
The publication of details can serve no
good purpose and might jeopardize
human life. All readers will surely
applaud the papers In responding to
this appeal."

ing Movement Begun to Block
American Bights
By Associated Press
New York, March 10.—The emerg
ency peace federation began an or
ganized campaign to-day to keep the
United States out of war with Ger
many. Prominent pacifists have been
summoned here to direct the move
ment. More than $4,000 lias been raised
already to meet the costs.
The money was subscribed last night
at a mass meeting. Mrs. J. Sergeant
Cram headed the list of pledges with
SI,OOO. Resolutions were adopted del
- that the country could not al
low itself to be drawn into the war
nor enter upon relations of "veiled hos
tility likely to lead to war." The reso
lutions advocated the appointment of
a "jolne commission" to endeavor to set
tle the questions at Issue between this
country and Germany and urged Presi
dent Wilson to summon all the great?
powers to discuss plans for peace.
A message from William J. Bryan,
read at the meeting, stated Mr. Bryan'3
opinion that "an overwhelming ma
jority" of the American people favor"
keeping Americans off belligerent
ships, and would exclude arms and
ammunition from all American and
neutral ships carrying passengers be
tween the United States and Europe.
Mr. Bryan said he did not believe the
government should arm vessels carry
ing munitions.
