OFFICIALS TO FIGHT ALLEGED 'DRUG RING' City and County to Work To gether to Save Addicts. DRUGGISTS FACE CHARGES Evidence Said to Have Been .Se cured as to Illegal Sales of Narcotics to TJsers. Evidence now In the hand's- of city and county officials indicates that a searching investigation now being con. ducted inthe sale and use of drugs in Portland may produce startling dis closures before it has reached a con clusion. Intimation that a mild sensation might be sprung shortly was given yesterday by Acting Municipal Judge Deich, who, as deputy district attorney, is' taking an active part in the probe. It is said that one or more Portland druggists are now under surveillance. Investigations thus far have proved, said Judge Deich, that the use of co caine, morphine, opium and kindred drugs is more prevalent in Portland today than ever before in the history of the city. Orjcmnfj.rd Gangr Reported. The probe has likewise brought to light the existence of an organized gang of drug addicts and dTUg pur veyors in Portland. Present conditions, he says, are ' appalling, and stringent measures must be taken at once in order effectively to curb the ever-increasing traffic An agent of the department of jus tice, investigating enforcement . of the Harrison anti-narcotic law. was in the city over a month ago, and turned over to local authorities much of the evi dence that he secured. This evidence, it is said, brought about the investiga tion by city and county officers. "During the 10 years I have been a prosecutor in the criminal courts of this city I never saw such an alarming drug situation as exists at the present time," said Mr. Deich. "Our investi gations have been going on for several weeks, and we are now succeeding In breaking up this nest of drug addicts." Following a conference yesterday with Dr. George Parrish. city health officer. Judge Deich announced that the city will take upon itself the work of seeking to rehabilitate those drug addicts who may possibly be cured. Every drug addict brought into court during the time Judge Reich is on the bench will receive a 90-day sentence, during which he will undergo treat ment from Dr. Parrish.- Treatments Are Started. Two such addicts received sentences yesterday with the understanding that they would be released sooner if Dr. Parrish thought they had been cured.

MORRISON and FOURTH BY LEONE CASS BAER. GUY BATES POST calls this an age I of profiteering. "No one is a more loyal American than I," he said, "I was born in Seattle and am an Amer ican of the west. But at the risk of being interned I eay fearlessly that several someones are draining us dry. "Will you tell me why a bushel of potatoes costs three or "lour times as much as it did a half dozen years ago? The answer the farmer makes is 'Well, my help to dig the potatoes charge me more.' "Why?" I ask. "Well," he . say, "shoes alone cost him three times as much." "Why?" I pursue the question, and they explain that leather costs more and the western plains are thick with discarded as useless cowhides decay ing in the sun. They say it costs more to tan leather and the bark on the trees is just as it always was. Na ture is the same producing agent year in and year out. A bushel of potatoes is a bushel of potatoes from any field. Profiteers Are Accused. "Yet you pay a dozen times its worth nowadays. Why are cotton lisle box such as I used to get excellent serv ice from raised six times the old price and not fit for a second wearing after one visit to the laundry?" Mr. Post, usually the gentlest and most charming of stage men, fixed a baleful and accusing eye on the profit eers he was mentally visualizing. ''Can't congress" I began. "Congress," said Mr. Post, "has much to do besides work the legislative treadmill for our benefit. Each con gressman has about 20,000 pounds of garden seed to distribute each year and that's a lot of work. It is all the more labor because he must do the seedlets up in little paper bags and ad dress each one to some constituent who is heart sick and ill from the need of sweet Williams, rutabaga or phlox. To some sad toil-worn old woman, who wonders why the price of butter soars or round steak costs five times what it formerly did, a package of varie gated zinna seed must be a great help. "Just recently congress has been ter ribly busy solving the problem of re ducing the high cost of gold. Naturally such a grave question has engaged the attention of the most erudite scientists of the bureau of standards, a branch of the government which is purely scientific. They have concluded- their labors and have filed their roport Really the problem turned out to be quite simple in the bands of these pro found thinkers. "Gold, they tell us, is the standard of monev value all over the world, and therefore the producers cannot raise the price of this commodity as the tailors have raised the price of a suit, or the milkman boosted milk, or the price of mosquito netting soared. No, they say, gold must stay fixed in price. Importation of Labor Rapped. "So someone has thought of a plan simple and efficacious, to reduce the cost of operating gold, by firing all the hired help and import a mess of illiterate coolies, give 'em a handful of rice a day and work them to the limit of human .endurance. Sometimes it isn't any wonder at all to me that Eu ropeans regard America as a mort great struggling business conducted without honor or ideals. H. C. L. is rapidly developing in me a strain of bolshevism. - Mr. Post has a beautiful plan. It is to plav Hamlet. "I have always held my own ideas of Hamlet's character, he said. "Hamlet was a poet, an ar tist to his heart's core, and he suffered untold anguishes of soul, even physical anguish, in his plan to avenge the death of his loved sire. I shall en deavor to portray that Hamlet. If we S,'J t "''SV33: -I i ' 1 .

"We have learned that they band to seiner ana steal this stuff, and then send one of their number out to peddle it to pawnshops and residences." he said. "They then pool their money and send one of the gang after the 'dope' ana later divide it. We know to a cer talnty of several such instances."

When Mr. Post ends his engagement at the Heilig tonight he will take a five weeks vacation, proceeding direct ly to San Francisco, where his charming wife, Adele Ritchie, is awaiting him. Together they are going to have a happy playtime before he resumes his tour in September. Another . 9ll,d'e"- Starts ; Great T ' iJJJT yV TODAY i Show . Matinees ;ssvt GiJj ' When 1, - f -rl'iV' .
