OFFIGERS MAKE DRUG SEIZURES Stated That 500 Persons Were Deported in Five Years RE ----------. Ottawa, Ont, Feb, 15, -- The Narcotie Division of the Federal Department of Health has been instrumental in having 468 per- sons deported between 1922 and 1927 for offences against the Nar- cotic Drug Act, In 1927 alone, according to the department's an- nual report, more than 400 pounds of oplum were seized as well as morphine, heroin and cocaine in various forms, Scores of opium lamps and pipes and other para- nhernalia of the drug trafic were seized, In the judicial year 10264 there were. 748 convictions under the Drug Act Of these 405 were Chinese, 149 British and Awmeri- can and 79 French citizens. The Narcotic Division gives the de- tails of one of its higgest cases in 1927: "The aetivities of the Narcotic Division were during the last six months of the fiscal year very largely concentrated an on effort, in conjunction with the United States authomties, to break un a ring which for some years had, with headquarters in Montreal, been heavily engaged in illicit traffic hoth to Canadian and Unit- ed States points. No expense was spared in this investigation, and a large number of operatives were employed in watching, 'over a lengthy period, the activities of a considerable number of people. It was finally established that there was a steady and persis- tent traffic to Detroit hy means of sleeping car porters, and ar- rangements were made to estabh- lish their modus operandi, and particularly to get the '"higher- ups." As #8 result operatives suc- ceeded in having both morphine and cocaine delivered to them in Detroit by a sleeping car porter, at a cost of over $1,000, the deals being consummated under condi- tions which rendered the evideice suficieptly eonclusive for subso- quent use in court, A connection was then made with the 'higher- up' in Montreal, who, after two deals had been made through porters, agreed to a personal in- terview, pfter having received $500 by telegram from our oper. ative, In due course the Inter- leading hotel in Montreal, with ops view took place in a room in 8B eratives listening and watching in adjoining rooms and across the hall, Our operative was sub- jected to a close questioning for over two hours before his bona fides were accepted and fipdlly eo deal was arranged. After $1,000 had chapged hands, our operative was, some time later, supplied by means of an intermediary in the employ of the 'bigher up' with two keys, one of which was for @ locker in the Bonaventure Sta- tion in Montreal. Upon the locker being opeped a suit case was found, which was unlocked by means of the second key, and found to contain the narcotics previously paid. for. "A second interview was sub- sequently arranged in apother ho- tel, under precisely the same con- ditions, apd the bag in the lock- er, in this case miso, was full of morphine, heroin, cocaine and bricks of opium previously paid or. ? "During the whole of this per- iod, 8 large amount of shadowing of various people was being car- ried on, and as soon as the case was felt to be complete, simul- | taneous arrests were made, and in due course the 'higher up' re- ceived a sentence of five years, and the (inter sentences of four and two years, and 12 months respectively. At the time of arrest, 8 copsiderable quantity of narcotics was seized, and short- ly afterwards an office downtown was searched, when some 1,400 ounces and 2 large quantity of documents were gether scales, 5 3 « * - N-------------- Splendid value are these in Walnut with Shades silk fringe.
