Chicago, Aug. 12.—Regulation of kabit-forming drugs is called “a fail- ure and a scandal” by the Council of Health and Public Instruction of the American Medical association. The council is now studying the narcotic situation in the creaulzed'| effort of the medical profession to trect abuses of the Harrison law. Dr. Frederick H. Green, secretary ot the Council on Health and Public Instruction, showed me the council's report to the American Medical as- sociation on the Narcotic situation. Law Not Working. It shows conclusively that the Har- rison anti-narcotic law isn’t function- “Ten times'|'as much opium as is veeded for medical purposes is legal- ly imported into this country every year.” said Dr. Green. “What be- comes of the’ other nine-tenths?)

Traffic Increasing. The illicit traffic in opium, mor- phine, heroin and cocaine, according to Dr. Green’s report, has increased rather than decreased through efforts to enforce the Harrison law; has brought exhortation’ of unfortunate victims and enormous profits for traf- fickers; and has led to blackmail and official corruption. rt ¥ Without counting? smuggling en-} ough’ opium is consumed in the Unit- ed.

FORGER MAKES BASY COIN BY ~NEW SWINDLE Police and County Officials Are on Lookout for Repeti- tion of Method Fargo, 'N. D., Aug. 12.—Police and county officials as well as operators of detective agencies hired by bank- ing associations to work on the case, are baffled in their attempts to ar- rest a man about 30 to 35 years of age, who has forged numerous Am- erican xpress money orders in Fargo and at points in Minnesota. Three forgeries netted the oper- ator $300 in his operations on Far- go'banks, according to word given out this afternoon at the secretary’s oftice of the North Dakota Bankers association.’ “The money orders in denominations of $100 each were passed ‘during July. Authorities .be- lieve he' has ‘left the state and wir- ed: a: description of the swindler to the police ‘of the surrounding cities. Plan Is New One The scheme of the operation, ac- one. The opevator presents a gen- uine American ‘Express company’s travelers’ check for $10 on which he signs his name. lis signature corresponds with that made by the purchaser of the check and on the strength of this identification the check is cashed. i He then produces an American xpress company’s money order for $100, and, as his identity has been established, after a fashion, by the travelers’ check, the money is paid on the $100 order, which proves to be one of a bunch which were stol- en. The fraudulent money orders which have been passed in Fargo, were written on: C, O. D. money or- der blanks. This means that an or- der has been jssued in payment for returns on the collection of a C. O. D. shipment. These orders should never be presented by a stranger and if one is presented by a persol| unknown, .authorities say that the stranger- should be required to pro- duce original shipping receipt.
