Narcotics Given SchoolChildren, Dineen Charges Judge Sees Influence of “For eign Power"’ in Dope Ped dling—Police Make Big Raid. The finger of a foreign power is visible in a gigantic campaign to make Americana nation of drug ad dicts, charged Municipal Judge Frank Dineen yesterday. He Bald that dope was being peddled to school chil dren free of charge and that more stress is being laid on prohibition en forcement than is accorded to more alarming conditions. “The dope traffic among high school students was first called to my attention," raid the judge, "about three weeks ago, when a mother com plained of the condition of her son which was not caused by any physical ailment. ‘‘Spotter Is I'sed." "We have Information that dope parties have been in progress for some ADVERTISEMENT. Just the moment you apply Mentho Sulphur to an Itching, burning or broken out skin, the itching stops and healing begins, says a noted skin specialist. This sulphur preparation, mnde into a pleasant cold cream, gives such a quick relief, even to fiery i czema. that nothing has ever been found to take its place. Sccause of its germ destroying properties, it quickly subdues the liching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leaving a cleur, smooth skin in place of ugly erup tions, rash, pimples or roughness. You do not have to wait for im provement. It quickly shows. You can get a little jar of Ttowles Mentho Bulphur at any drug store. time past, but so clever are the young addicts that the boy we have had in the school to secure information as to the source has been unable to bring | about the revelations we had hoped 1 for.” Judge Dineen expressed satisfaction over the sermon preached by Rev. R. .\f. Brown Sunday at Dietz Memorial church. Big Dope Maul. Charles York, alleged dope seller, was arrested yesterday afternoon at 714 North Eighteenth street by Detec tives Trapp and Munch in what po lice say is one of the biggest dope hauls ever staged in Omaha. The dope set confiscated by the po lice contained <306 cocaine tablets, a ■ half ounce of cocaine in a bottle, 75 ■ morphine tablets, a can containing a half-ounce of morphine, one hypo dermic needle, one spoon, and a knife used in cracking tablets. The value of the set, at retail prices, is esti mated at $900. — Two girls. Hazel O'Neil. 1711 Cali fornia street, and Mildred Weatlier field, who recently escaped the county hospital, also were arrested in the raid. York has been arrested several times in the last year, charged with being implicated in drug traffic, but was freed each time on account of lack of sufficient evidence.

She returned to i Pueblo yesterday. Today, she has her baby, but she had to fight to ob tain it, and she fled before the police who were summoned, reached the scene. Tlie police did not learn her name. nor the name of the family which had the baby, being content with the statements of the neighbors that the haby belonged to the woman, although the foster parents did not wisli to give it up.
