After March 1 no mor opium will go to tJ Philippines.

Banks were supported by this trade and pub licly known as opium banks. '. Dr. Wilbur K. Crafts says If nothing else has been accomplished this year by ttin International Reform Bureau, of which he Is superintendent, this victory Is enough for a year's work.

This. Dr. Crafts said, affects Immediately our coast, for the Paclflo governs the trade of these Islands, which are Inhabited by the best class or natives, who are easily susceptible to the evils of liquor and who are rapidly becoming poverty-stricken, so that there will be no trade for other articles. Hawaii needs like attention. President Roosevelt has taken up the cause eight times. Liquor finds read ier aale In the Islands of the sea, and opium In China. I Xiooal work to Do.

(United Pma Leased Wire.) Chicago, Sept., 14. -In the criminal ! court the curtain will be raised Monday one ono of the weirdest criminal dramas ever staged when Frank J. Constantlne 1 plays the role of defendant on trial for 1 his life for the murder of Mrs. Arthur Gentry. One day about eighteen months ago Mrs. Gentry, a beautiful woman, whose husband Is engaged in the printing busi ness, staggered from her north side home with her throat cut from ear to ear. 81ie dropped dead without uttering a word concerning- the cause of the tragedy.-. Frank Constantlne boarded at th Gentry home and was there at the time the woman met her death. He success- fully eluded the police for weeks and finally was' captured In New Lork. The prosecution will contend that he. com mitted the murder, while Constantino and his .lawyers will offer evidence tend- i lng to prove that the woman killed herv en luiiuwing- i quarrel wit n oer Hus band. Mingled with the facts on the side of the defense Is a mystery Involv ing a telephone conversation upon, which Constantlne relies In the hope of prov ing his contention of sulelde. A stenographer employed In Oehtrv's office, It Is claimed by the defense, wltl f take the stand and swear that Just be- ! fore Mrs. Gentry's, death she called her i husband to the telephone and they quar reled over a theatre engagement. Constantlne, who was in the presence ! of Mrs. Gentry at the other end of the wire, will testify that after Mrs. Gentry j jiung up me receiver sne cnea ana con tinued to weep after she entered her room. Upon this testimony the defense ex pects to prove that It was a case of sui cide, not murder. Although the prosecutor, who will trv to send the defendant to the gallows, i claims he has sufficient evidence to convict, he has So far failed to point out a motive for the murder of Mrs. Gentry. Constantlne says he rushed from the city because he feared clroum stantlal evidence might b,e strong enough to cause his arrest.'' I The battle for and against the life of the defendant promise's to be a hot one. TRUANCY OFFICERS FOR UMATILLA (Special Dlnpitrb to The Joorntl ) Pendleton, Or.. Sept 14.
