20 ARE NABBED AS LEADERS IN SWEEPING RAIDS Millions Involved in Deals of Separate Combines, Say U. S. Officials. LARGE SEIZURES MADE 4,000 Ounces of Dope Are Discovered Billed as ‘Machinery.’ Bu United Pri*s WASHINGTON, July 29.—Smashing of five international narcotic rings and the arrest of twenty ring leaders who have been transacting an illegal business estimated at several million dollars annually, was announced today by the treasury department. The rings have been importing morphine and heroin from Turkey into New York and have shipped it through the east, treasury officials said. The investigation by treasury agents covered two months and was described as “one hundred per cent efficient” in breaking up the international combination. The most important of the five rings, the treasury said, was headed by Tony Laptino, son of an Italian nobleman, who operated from Long Island and was known a* Black Tony of the East. Single shipments of his organization, activities of which rival a fictional narrative, have been valued at million dollars, according to Harry J. Anslinger, acting chief of the narcotic bureau. Prominent Italian Another important ring, the treasury said, reached down to Norfolk, Va., and was headed by “Boss” Vessasce, wh*. Anslinger said, is prominent in Italian circles in Norfolk. Another ring was headed by Sam Ferera of New York, who was arrested in Washington Saturday. Two companions were arrested with him. They had sixty'ounces of heroin in their possession when arrested. J. F. Swinford, alias J. A. Kincaid. of New Ycrk, was arrested as the leader Af another ring. When trapped, Swinforrl was preparing to make a large morphine shipment to the Pacific coast, treasury officials said. Others arrested included L. J. Williams of New York, and Frankie Fields, who was said to have been operating as an independent drug peddler in Wilmington, Delaware. Seize 4,000 Ounces Arrests of the ring leaders was preceded by the seizure Saturday of 4,000 ounces from the steamer Inako, of the Black Diamond line. The narcotics had been billed as electrical machinery by agents of the ring abroad. The two-month investigation was directed by J. H. Manning, narcotic agent of New York, assisted by J. B. Greeson of headquarters here. Treasury agents working on the case resorted to all sorts of ruses to run the ring down. Three agents obtained admission to the ranks of the dope smugglers and obtained detailed information about their operations. To a Washington detective, R. A. Sanders, goes the credit for the “tip off” which led to uncovering the widespread activities of the ring and the roundup and arrest announced today. Treasury officials believe the narcotic organizations have been operating on a vast scale for some years, shipping their drugs into this country by devious methods and in the liners of all nations. The specimens usually were billed as ordinary merchandises and in New York were replaced by the goods described in the bill of lading. This substitution In New York was done when the narcotics were transferred by truck from vessels to trains for shipment elsewhere. Higherups Sought Bu United Press NEW YORK. July 29.—Federal Attorney Charles H. Tuttle announced today that $15,000 had been spent to collect evidence for what he called the “biggest narcotic raid in the history of the United States.” He said the small peddlers had been ignored and that for the last three months, agents, disguised as underworld characters, had been gathering evidence. Tuttle said the total number of persons arrested on the eastern saaboard was twentysix, including two women.

Archie is alleged to have met Frank Saturday afternoon and engaged in a quarrel. Although there were no witnesses, Sheriff Rouse believed today the quarrel ended in the fatal shooting.

quality and reductions for the last year shown are from 10 to almost 50 per cent. These reductions, however, business men point out, do not represent the true decrease in retail prices. Many items have been sinking in price for the last three to five years and in some cases prices are down below the 1912 and 1913 levels, business men declare. Velvet and silk dresses are 20 to 25 per cent lower than a year ago and furs are from 20 to 40 per cent cheaper than at any time in the last twenty years. Table linens are one-third the price they were during the war. Business men today warned the conditions which make the present low price levels possible are shifting and indications are that business, on the upgrade, will effect a rebound in retail prices that may make many regret failure to make purchases at current levels. Statements by a number of merchants follow: Harry Kahn, Treasurer National Furniture Company Furniture prices are at low ebb, both from the wholesale and retail standpoint. The price cutting which struck this line the latter part of 1929 has continued utnil now there is indication of an upturn.” Ralph S. Norwood, Vice-President L. Strauss & Co.—Fabrics used in men's clothing at 10 to 12 per cent cheaper than last year and the finished clothing, of good workmanship, is 10 to 15 per cent cheaper No further reductions are in sight. Philip Holzner, Rink’s Cloak House—Fur prices, especially the price of .quality furs, are cheaper than in ten years. The raw skin market is down and prices of finished garments and articles show reductions of 20 to 25 per cent. Silk markets are lower and the buyer is being given far more for the money in winter cloaks than in many years. Leo Traugott, Secretary of the Fair Store—Prices have declined 10 to 50 per cent. Men’s clothing generally is down to price levels of 1912 and every mill is operating at a loss. Silk hosiery is cheaper than in 1912. We are selling silk hosiery today at retail prices below wholesale prices of 1912. C. W. Gay, Vice-President of Pettis Dry Goods Company—A store list was compiled recently, showing prices reduced 10 to as high as 40 per cent from last year. Indicating the economies awaiting buyers. Louis Wolf, president, H. P. Wasson & Co.—The careful buyer will find that reductions in prices of merchandise have been passed on to the public by the retailers. Outstanding examples are in furniture, radios, furs, carpets and clothing. R. C. Block, treasurer, William H. Block Company—The careful buying housewife is recognizing the values offered today and we are finding an increase in business developing as the public realizes the extreme low prices which prevail. Purchases made now surely will prove profitable. Lower prices on raw products naturally have reflected themselves in the present-day markets and purchases made by merchants, of course, have been at lower price levels.
