Eugene Parks and his wife, Hat- tie Parks, both colored, were plac- ed under arrest and their houses searched. Opium was found and they will face federal charges.

He also had scales‘ in the trunk, Ma ‘Mope furnished an alibi so he was released. According to Young he did not know the opium was in his trunk but suspects some younger ‘Chinese who are using it put it in his ‘trunk, believing officers would never suspect an old man. The scales, he claims, were used to “weigh my medicine to keep old man alive.” The federal officers have not ‘Coupled with Campaign for P.
