CUSTOMS MAN INVOLVED
Inspector McArthur, Who Is Missing,
and Mysterious "Henry Well
man" Mentioned as Mem
bers of Opium Ring.
SEATTLE, Wash.. May 16. Charlie
Louie and James A. Ralston, acoused
of conspiracy to smussrle opium, were
acquitted by a Jury In the United States
District Court today after a trial last
lng three days. -
Ralston, who was arrested in Port
land March 2 with a trunk In his pos
session containing: 17600 worth of
opium, will be taken to Portland to
stand trial there on a charge of smuggling-.
The jury was out five hours.
During the trial testimony was given
that Ralston, when arrested, charged
that customs officers In Seattle were
crooked" and on the stand Ralston
said some of the customs men were in
the opium ring, but mentioned no
names. Ralston admitted carrying
large quantities of opium from Seattle
to other cities in the Northwest, but
said he bad nothing to do with bring
ing the opium into this country, this
being done by a mysterious Henry
Wellman, who was his employer.
Customs Inspector Involved.
The Government alleged that Louie
was Ralston's principal, but this Ral
ston and Louie denied, both testifying
that their friendship was the result of
visits to race tracks together.
The name of Earl MacArthur, a cus
toms inspector, who disappeared a
week before the trial began, was fre
quently brought Into the case by the
Government, the District Attorney al
leging that MacArthur and Louie were
on intimate terms and producing wit
nesses to show that MacArthur had
passed the opium trunk, found In Port
land when Ralston was arrested.
Assistant District Attorney Sullivan
was greatly surprised by the verdict,
but made no comment.
Ralston dented that he knew Cus
toms' Inspector MacArthur or had
fixed" him. He asserted that all the
manipulations of the opium ring had
been conducted by Henry Wellman, a
mysterious person whose address was
608 New York block. Wellman, he said.
had been responsible, for the fixing of
the customs' men.
Trade on Wholesale Scale.
"It was - our custom," Ralston said,
"to send out samples of .small lots of
opium, taken from big consignments.
These samples would be considered by
the customer Just like other merchan
dise samples, and If they were up to
grade orders for large shipments would
follow. We never retailed the drug.
Wellman told me that all the stuff
coming into Seattle was imported di
rect from China, and that all of the
large lots came that way.
"I don't know anything about the
business between here and Canada. 1
never made any trip to Canada. Well
man said that when the stuff arrived
it would be passed by inspectors and
then brought off the boats. Most of
it came on the Chinese steamers, al
though considerable came on the Blue
Funnel Line. Some of it would be un
loaded at Seattle and some at Tacoma.
Louie's Connection Dented.
"Charlies Louie was not connected
with it so far as I knew. He was mere
ly an old friend of mine. The opium
when it arrived In Seattle would be
brought off the vessels and secreted
in various places, some times in my
room. I had in my room a number of
opium jackets, with pockets running
around the sides. Whenever a big con
signment of opium came in a bunch of
Chinese would call and get the Jackets.
With them they brought- the opium
ashore.
"Wellman gave me a letter to a Chi
nese in Astoria, Or., three months be
fore I made the trip to Portland. He
said he might want to change his or
ders some time and have me make a
trip there."
United States Attorney Sullivan, In
his address to the Jury declared that
the mysterious Wellman was no other
than Louie himself.

Beautiful
BUST
GUARANTEED
in 30 days
I have helped thousands
of women to obtain perfect
development through a simple
I means by which any woman can
easily enlarge her bust to tne ex
act size and firmness desired.
IV.
If
Free to Readers of Portland Oregonian
Thousands of women are today the
possessors of beautiful busts and per
fect forms as the result of an accidental
discovery made more than two years
ago by Madame Margarette Merlaln,
whose fame has now spread to nearly
every part of the world. While taking
a new prescription for building up her
health, Madame Merlaln suddenly
noticed that her bust was growing from
almost nothing to a very large size;
in fact, her bust measure increased six
inches in 30 days.
Physicians and chemists to whom the
matter was reported arranged to try
the new treatment she had used on ten
other women without busts. The results
obtained within a few days truly aston
lshed the sages of medicine and science,
and in a few weeks each of the ten
women had obtained a most marvelous
enlargement of the bust. Next It was
tried on 50 women without busts, and
the same marvelous enlargement was
obtained.
Madame Merlaln is herself a living
example of the great power of her re
markable discovery. By many she Is
considered to have the most beautiful
bust and most perfect form of any
woman in Europe. But best of all this
wonderful discovery not only succeeded
In her own case and in those where spe
cial tests were made, but it seems to
have worked even more astonishing
results in the cases of others, even
after ordinary pills, massage, wooden
cups and various advertised prepara
tions had all been tried withouf the
slightest results.
Mi Helen Marion Buckett, of 100
C'bolmeley Road, Reading, write:
Since using the Venus-Carnis treat
ment my bust has developed in all four
inches, an improvement for which I
am extremely thankful."'
Madame de Zisbrovsky, of Paris, says:
My bust was flat and soft, and, thanks
to your marvelous treatment, I now
have a bust, nrm and well-developed,
which is the admiration of all. I am
all the more grateful to you as; I had
already tried several other remedies
which had all been without the least
results."
Madame Dixon, of Cannes, says: "The
great holjows in my neck, which were
my despair, have completely disap
peared. My bust has become firm and
considerably larger, and I am now able
to wear low-necked gowns without
shame and humiliation."
Mrs. McGre, of Colwyn Bay, Wales,
says: "My breasts, which were a short
time ago quite flat and undeveloped,
are now, I am proud to say, round and
just as large and firm as I desire to
have them. I also feci much brighter
and better than before."
Madame Dlstrleh, of Lrlpslg, Ger
many, writes: I am entirely satisfied,
and I never imagined that such results
would be possible, because for several
years I have been ill and was con
stantly following treatments of one
kind or another. I have not only ob
tained a beautifully-curved form and
firm flesh, but my general health has
been greatly Improved.
Dr. folonnny, of the Faculty of Medi
cine of PnrlN, declares: No matter
whether a woman be young or old, nor
what her condition of health may bo, I
firmly believe that in the Venus-Carnis
treatment she has an infallible method
for developing and beautifying her
bust."
Dr. Domenlco Scunclo, of Praia Sin
nlta, Italy, states: "1 beg to confirm -my
previous letters concerning the
Venus-Carnig treatment, and I have
pleasure In informing you that my
patient has used this treatment and is
very satisfied with the really marvel
lous results that she has obtained. I
can therefore conscientiously state that
this treatment Is excellent, and that it
can in no way De comparea to otners
of Its kind claiming to give the same
results."
