1,000,000 DRU Q ADDICTS IN U. S. Many Criminals Found to Be Dope Fiends. YORK. April 27. —There are said to be at least 1.000000 addicts of drills In the United States and thousands of them are to be found In Nei? York. On the police records of dozen of des perate criminals arrested in New Y'ork in the crime wave of the last winter it has been found that they were treated previously for dope addiction or were picked up at some previous time as peddlers. The famous masonic burglar Who was shot and killed last winter at close quarters, after he had fired three bullets at a policeman, possessed two forearms which were positively mottled with the tiny blue pinpricks, each one indicating an injection of dope, self administered. He said on the operating table that he wished to die: be could not bear the thought of going to Sing Sing fnw a long term and the ordeal of undergoing the first pangs of deprivation of drugs. Last-winter a young woman was found in a dying condition in a railroad train upon arrival here. Another girl with her was dead. Both were beaut Tul and well dressed. When the first girl recovered, she told the police -an smarting story of drug enslavement which would have been incredibly to were they not familiar with some of the background of the case, which enabled them to check up and confirm the narrative. The girls hod came of good New York families. Through accidental meetings with dope peddlers they had been Induced to undertake trips between Canada and the United States, carrying each time small but valuable quantities of dope concealed about the clothes. The I closer to bind their slaves to the service, j two peddlers married them. It was typical of the cunning of the ! dope Importer that the girls were In- ! structed to vary their route between the ; Canadian cities and New Y'ork, In order not to m*>6t the same customs Inspectors ! repeatedly. But at last they sampled j their Importation. One died on the train, i The othi% lived to reveal she system ! and will tell the names of the men. Ar- j rests were made. t But arrests are being made every day ! and yet the trade/goes on. There Is apparently no central dope selling or distributing organization in or around New Y'ork. Like bootlegging. It Is any crook's game, and it has become a crowded field of enmmeroe, with a terrible score to answer for In the final reckoning. Police to whom were submitted the disclosures of Charles McCann of the United Press, London bureau, as to an International dope ring in London, said there was no evidence that this ring had anything to do with the New York trade, although the sailors who bring the drug into New York on steamers or the frontier smugglers, who w<>rk through Canada, may have personal connection with agents of the London ring. The Southwest section of the United States receives a large part of Its dope supplies from Mexico, while the Pacific coast Is supplied from the Orient direct. I

WICK CARTER' AUTHOR TAKES • HIS OWN LIFE NEW YORK. April 27—Just as he mystified hundreds of thousands during his life with his Nick Carter detective stories, so also does Frederick Van Ren*eler Dey today puzzle his friends in his death. “I can stand the gaff no longer, so I'm going out." That message was written by the creator of the famous Nick Carter several hours before his lifeless body was found in the hotel here, an automatic pistol by his side. Relatives are unable to explain the message, as they declare Dev’s financial and personal affairs were in the happiest of conditions and his health good. During his activities as an author. Dey is estimated to have written 1.076 stories about Nick Carter, roifghly estimated to total 40,000,000 words.
