Chinese in Underworld.
Portland's Chinatown is in an up
roar. A bitter campaign to locate
illicit drug dispensers is in progress.
Five alleged dispensers or possessors
of opium, heroin, morphine, cocaine
or other noxious drugs have been ar-

rested in the past few days, and
veiled intimations are forthcoming
from the internal revenue office that
a number of other arrests may be
anticipated.
' What puzzles the Chinese is the un
canny manner in which the arresting
officers have located caches of drugs,
or have obtained quantities of the
drug a. bare few minutes after it had
been hidden away, presumably safely.
In view of the arrest of Jim Sing,
after a 60-mile chase, the Qhinese are
confident that the authorities have
'pipe-line" right in the heart of the
nest of drug' dealers. As to this, In
spectors Wood and Ofterdal, Patrol
men Morelock and Morris and Austin
F. Flegel, the deputy district attorney
who is prosecuting the cases, are as
uncommunicative as one of the ar
rested Chinese.
Death Threatened Betrayer.
Americanized Chinese prophesy con
fidentially that should the orientals
locate the individual they are confi
dent "are betraying them, his life
would be worth little.
The drug trade in Portland today
approximates $4,000,000 a year, and
there are at least 4000 regular druir
addicts, declares Mr. Flegel.
we are absolutely determined to
end the entire traffic," he said yester
day after he had demanded a mini
mum bail of S5000 in the case of Sing,
the Chinese who was arrested near
Donald.
'Almost any day It Is possible to
watch the opium or morphine traffic
in full swing, but even with marked
money, carefully arranged purchasers
ana all the other paraphernalia it is
almost impossible to connect the ac
tual selling.
To arrest the salesman would ac
complish nothing. He is merely one
of a dozen runners for a retailer, who
again buys from the agent of the
head of the ring.'
Sales Range to 920 Day.
Each of the 4000 habitues is buying
from one to 27 grains a day. at a cost
of from one to. J 20. it is declared.
There are only two ways the aver
age purchaser can obtain the money,
the officers say: be criminals or en
gage in the retail sale of the drugs
themselves.
Most of the drugs come from Can
ada and, it is asserted, are smuggled
by Pullman car employes. The drugs
are made in this country and exported
to Canada at $25 an' ounce. This is
permissible under the Harrison nar
cotics law. The ounce retails in Port
land for $480. while in addition, it is
adulterated to the extent of 25 per
cent, thus increasing the illicit profits.
The current prices retail on North
Fourth street are: tl a grain and 13
in quarter-dram or four-,grain pack
ages.
"We have found," said Mr. Flegel,
"that a limited number of purchasers
are shady physicians, some are even
well known business men, although

the great bulk of purchasers are of a

And the terrible feature is that the
drug incites crime, kills ambition and
sooner or later results in complete
moral ruin and degradation."

ana uiegel declares that as soon as
they are released they go back
to peddling drugs or renew their
business connections with the ring
leaders.
The recent arrests include Sing,
against whom a charge of possessing
narcotics hae been placed as a hold
ing charge; Chuey Sinn, who, it is
declared, is an influential Chinese
merchant who has a drug organiza
tion: faa.m Lang, declared to be the
agent of a wealthy drug importer,

Mrs. Chin was before Commissioner
Drake yesterday and asserted th
three cans of opium found in her
home were left there by her cousin
three days ago, but she "could not
remember the cousin's name."
Officers are still seeking a Chinese,
who, they say. did the shooting in
the midnight chase Saturday.
War to End la Promised.
"I recently eent one boy to the
state hospital who was -taking 27
grains of morphine a day," said
Flegel. "This poor lad has not slept
for nearly three weeks. He has bee
kept absolutely from the drug, for
medical practice shows that such
means are the only ones to save an
addict.
"The United States attorney's office
will not halt this crusade until we
have absolutely broken up this traf
fic. We intend to locate every lead.er.
There are several of them. It
useless to obtain the petty peddlers
they are but pawns in a wide-spread
net.
"These people, with their white ac
complices, are literally debauching
Portland men. and women, youths and
girls, and the government will not
call a halt until these people are
saved from, themselves. The only
way to do this is to smash the entire
traffic."-
Apple Shipments Delayed.
HOOD RIVER, Or.. May 17. (Spe
cial.) Because purchasers, for whom
the fruit has been held in storage
here, have been unable to receive, it,
apple shipments have been held up

announces that the last of the 1919
crop will not be shipped before the
middle of the week. Nine cars of ap
ples remained in refrigeration at the

cial.) The flrst Hood River rose was
picked by Mrs. S. E. Bartmess from
her garden yesterday. The rose was
of the Caroline Testout, variety. Hood
River roses are late this year as a
result of the December freeze, which
killed bushes back- below the snow
line. New growth, however, will fur
nish a profusion of roses ..for the
