Attorney at New York Tells of Investigating Alleged Inter- national Ring. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 15.—Charles H. Tuttle, United States attorney, disclosed yesterday that, as a result of the seizure here on two ships of two trunks con- taining narcotics valued at $400,000, his office has been investigating an alleged international ring said to have been smuggling narcotics into this country. Mr. Tuttle said that the reason Jacob Blum, an American, was held at South- ampton, England, on perjury and forgery charges, made by the United States department, was that Blum whose real name, he said, is John Bell, was indicted here in connection with the wholesale smuggling of narcotics.
