After communica- tion with the Government of Niear- agua, it was found that the consig- nee was not the owner of a legally inscribed establishement for the sale of durgs, and that the consignment addressed to him contained more opium than the medical practition- ers of Nicaragua would have con- Leumed in th ordinary course in 15 years. Criminal Cunning A particularly interesting seizure was made at Southampton. A ship- ment of a mixture labelled *"lubri- nole" excited suspicion. On apaly- sis this was found to be morphia mixed with some unctuous suv- stnace, from which it could later easily be recovered by chemical pro- cess. A new artifice of the drug traffickers was thus revealed. The shipment was from France to the Far East through Canada. Full particulars were communi- cated to the League, which already has records of many ingenious tricks--of the drug being passed from place to place in the lining of hats ,in hollow walking-sticks, in the stuffing of chairs, in chocolates, and 80 on.
