NARCOTIC RAIDS TRAP 9; DOPE CACHEISFOUND Police Believe Cocaine Ring Leaders Among Those* Now in Custody. Six women and three men, all Negroes, were held by police today after raids by police and federal narcotic agents Monday night on two alleged headquarters of the ring of rings which are supplying Indiwiapoli* underworld Negroes with supplies of cocaines. Patrolman Lee (Plez) Oliver, aided by Sergeant Oral Chitwood, staged one of the raids, arresting William Dunbar, 31, Negro, known as “Dapper Dan,” in his quarters at 640 Indiana avenue, where the officers said they found an elaborately furnished cocaine den. • The five women, who were to have been guests at a cocaine party in Dunbar’s quarters, were arrested when they appeared there at 3:30 a. m. One of the women was dressed as a man. Four of the women admitted they came there for “splorcs,” as the cocaine capsules are called. Oliver has been attempting to trap Dunbar, who he believed to be a high-class dope peddler, since October. Monday night he received a tip there was to be a “splore” party at Dunbar’s place. With Chitwood he lay in wait and when Dunbar, nattily dressed, appeared at/3 a. m., rushed in after him. They found themselves in a dingy, shabby room and no dope. As they searched, the five women came in. After questioning, they admitted they w r ere seeking cocaine and pointed out a second room adjoining the shabbily furnished room. Police broke down a door and found themselves in an elaborately furnished room, apparently fitted up as a cocaine den. Heavy draper-* ies hung on the walls. There were rich Oriental rugs, incense burners and other furnishings about, and several couches. In a package under a table, the officers said they found eight cocaine capsules which they believe Dunbar had brought in for his evening supply. Two hundred cocaine ' capsules, said to retail at 75 cents apiece, were found in the other raid made by E. A. McHugh, federal narcotics officer, and Sergeant Walter White, at 1019 North Illinois street, they reported. Those arrested were Mrs. Sally Hughes, 38, and William Haywood, 37, who five at the Illinois street place, and Floyd Alexander, 132914 North Senate avenue. McHugh declared that a woman agent had bought cocaine at the house with marked money.

Death Takes Famous English Beauty

‘Jersey Lily’ Figured in Libel Action Against Gladstone Critic. By United Press LONDON, Feb. 12. Lady de Bathe, the former Lily Langtry, famous English beauty, died today of heart disease, the Evening News said in a dispatclf from Monte Carlo, Monaco. Lillie Langtry was born in 1852, the daughter of the Rev. W. C. Le Breton, dean of Jersey, England. In 1874, she married Edward Langtry. For many years she was considered one of the most beautiful women in England and she was called the “Jersey Lily.” In 1881, two years after the death of her husband, she definitely went on the, stage and appeared in London and America, always under her own management. She married Sir Hugo De Bathe in 1899. Lady De Bathe was a figure in the libel action brought in London courts in 1927 by Captain Peter Wright against Viscount Gladstone which was a cause cslebre involving the good repute of William Ewart Gladstone, one of England’s greatest prime ministers. Captain Wright in his book “Portraits and Criticisms” charged that Gladstone was a hypocrite in matters of sex. Viscount Gladstone, son of the statesman, wrote to Wright, calling him a liar and coward for slandering the dead. Lady De Bathe Wrongly “repudiated” Wright’s charge that she had been unduly intimate with Gladstone. A verdict was returned by the jury in the case in favor of the defendant, and the verdict carried a statement upholding the statesman’s moral character.
