OPIUM CANNOT
BE IMPORTED
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8. Acting
In pursuance of a tacit undemand
ing said to have been reached be
tween President Roosevelt and mem
bers of the International opium com
mission, Or. H. W. Wiley, chief food
and drug Inspector of the depart
ment of agriculture, Issued an order
to Collector of Port Frederick 8.
Stratton yesterday to prohibit the
Importation of smoking opium at
San Francisco and other ports of the
Pacific coast.
No more sweeping order affecting
the commerce of the port of San
Francisco has been issued in 20
years. Figures of the customs house
show that the duty on opium has ap
proximated nearly $1,000,000 a
year. As much as $500,000 has been
paid in duty ou a single shipment,
and opium valued between $300,000
and $400,000 Is now on Us way from
China.
Under the new order Collector
Stratton will not permit these ship
ments to land, and Chinatown has
begun to retrench Itself against the
opium famine that It now feels Is
Inevitable.
Imperii! Envoy Crusader.
The presence In this country of
Tang Shao YI, the special envoy who
passed through San Francisco en
route to Washington a week ago to
return thanks for the remission of
the Boxer indemnity, Is believed to
have accelerated the Issuance of the
order by Inspector , Wiley. Tang,
who was educated In the United
States, Is one of the most relentless
crusaders against the use of opium
in the Chinese empire, and has been
responsible for the promulgation of
many Imperial edicts to curb traffic
in the drug.
President Roosevelt has been
known to be In aggressive sympathy
with the propaganda of the Interna
tional opium commission. When Dr.
Hamilton Wright, chairman of the
American delegation to the congress
that is to meet at Shanghai next Jan
uary, passed through San Francisco
last October he obtained from Chas.
B. Whllden, secretary of the state
board of pharmacy, a report on the
use and sale of smoking opium In
California. This report showed that
during the 12 months previous to
last August 3500 pounds of opium
were sold through California dealers
for medicinal purposes and 35,000
ounce of morphine and its compo
nent salts.
Smoking Drugs Excluded.
The new order directs Collector
Stratton to reject all smoking opium
and all other opium containing less
than 9 per cent of morphia.
It Is said there are only 85,000
pounds of opium now In the bonded
warehouses of San Francisco, and
that amount, with 8000 pounds
drawn from the government ware
houses yesterday, represents the
complete stock of the drug In Cali
fornia. Opium Is brought to San Francisco
from Nacao, the Portuguese colony,
not far from Hongkong. It Is Im
ported ostensibly for Chinese con
sumption, but as the Chinese are not
permitted to Import it In their own
names the shipments are handled by
the brokerage firm of Swayne, Hoyt
& Co. The new order will mean the
loss of thousands of dollars annual
ly to this firm.
Imported opium sells for $12 a
pound. It Is worth about $6 a
pound, and $6 a pound Is collected
on It In duty.

MRS. WARDWELL DEAD.
Letter Wife uf tlie Late General
Wardwell.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Dec. 4.
Mrs. J. C. Wardwell, the leper wife
of General Wardwell, whose case cre
ated such a stir In this community
and In Arizona, died this morning of
leprosy In the county hospital. Since
her return from Arizona and the
death of her husband, Mrs. Ward
well has grown steadily worse and
her death has been expected for some
time.
Her case was the most tragic and
ta the same time one of the most
pitiable of Its kind ever recorded.
Mrs. Wardwell, who resided with
her husband at Sawtelle, was arrest
ed originally on the streets of this
city because of her peculiar actions
and a subsequent examination prov
ed her to be a victim of leprosy.
Her aged husband refused to leave
her, notwithstanding the deadly na
ture of her affliction, and remained
with her In the county hospital. They
were finally given passports to
Tombstone, Ariz., whence they had
come originally. Here, after being
exiled to a lonely spot outside of the
city. General Wardwell died of can
cer and worry over the unfortunate
plight of himself and wife.
Falling to Interest the federal au
thorities In the case, the Tombstone
officials finally placed Mrs. Ward-
well In a locked stateroom on a train
and sent her to Los Angeles. Ar
riving here, she was again turned
over to the county authorities and
has since been cared for by them.
General Wardwell was a veteran
of the civil and Mexican wars and
was known to be an Intrepid soldier.

CHILDREN FIGHT WIDOW.
Context Hlllt to S-t Aside Millionaire
Traction King's Will.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4. The children
of Charlea T. Yerkes will resist any
attempt of the millionaire's widow.
Mary Adelaide Yerkca-Mlzner, to
break his will. The admission of
Executor I,otiis S. Owsley that Mrs.
Mlzner would seek to set aside the
document to obtain her dower rights
was followed by a statement that
Charles E. Yerkes of Chlrago and
Mrs. Bessie L. Rondlnella of Phila
delphia will fight her suit.
The will contains a special stipu
lation that the widow shall aign a
waiver of her dower rights. It di
vides the 115,000,000 estate Into
four parts, after making numerous
bequests, and leaves one-fourth to
each of the children, and the re
maining two parts to Mrs. Yerkes
Mlzner during ber lite. It la also
provided that the widow shall re
ceive $200,000 outright and like
amounts are given to a son and a
daughter.
"The difficulty of disposing of the
estate," Mr. Owsley said, "grows out
of the fact that Mrs. Yerkes la plan
ning to demand her dower Instead
of accepting what the will allows
her."
ADVERTISING MATTER GALORE.
Over Five Tons of Oregon AdvertiM-

PORTLAND, Or., Dec. S. Ovrr
five tons of advertising n.atter about
Oregon were shipped by the passen
ger department of the Harrlman
lines from Portland yestorday, bound

and many of the principal cities of
Europe. In the shipment were M
cases weighing 200 pounds each.
making the shipment amount to 11,
400 pounds of Oregon advertising
matter.
The booklets and advertising
pamphlets are sent out at this time
largely because of the travel next
summer. The winter months are
conceded to be the best time to dis
tribute booklets on the Pacific coaBt
because the trips made by most trav
elers to the coast are conceived and
planned for between Christmas and
the spring months. Toe advertising
work being done for Oregon at pres
ent Is on the largest scale In the his

MELIIA AND THE NEWSBOY.
Prima Donna Sends Letter of Thanks
and 2S Check.
LONDON, Dec. 4. History has
repeated Itself. Sir Walter Raleigh
once placed his velvet cloak down
in a muddy street that Queen Eliza
beth might keep her feet dry. In
the same way Charles Pollock laid
his bundle of papers on the footpath
from a carriage to a Belfast hotel
that Mme. Melba might perform the
same feat. The other day Master
Pollock, who Is 10, received from
the prima donna the following let
ter: "Rltt Hotel, Piccadilly.
'Dear Boy I was mnch touched
by your chivalrous thought for me
in Belfast the other day. and I shall
always remember It with great
pleasure.
"I am glad to hear you are a
steady, Industrious boy, a comfort to
your mother, and I know you will
grow up a brave, honorable man, for
you have already given evidence of
the possession of exceptional quali
ties. You readily sacrificed your lit
tle bundle to make an easy path for
me. and I hope your path through
life may be made easy and bright
by the kindness of others.
'I Inclose a check for $25 to buy
you some small gift that will remind
you of how I appreciate your
thoughtfulness. Faithfully yours.
"NELLIE MELBA."
Altogether It Is certain that the
"modern Raleigh," as young Pollock
has been called, will find the eve
ning papers he gallantly sacrificed
for the great singer's comfort to be
more profitable than any he ever
sold.
William Gibson, of the Gold
smiths' ft Silversmiths' company,
London, who sent a check for $5 for
Pollock, has written stating that If
It was possible to arrange anything
In the matter of the education of the
boy he would be pleased to contrib
ute to the extent of $25 for the first
year.
Arrangements will be made to
have the boy educated and appren
ticed to some trade which he may
select.
