HEADS Or THE GANG TAKEN Unveiling the Omaha "dope trust,' oolice detectives last nieht seixed more than (1,000 worth of cocaine. morphine cubes, and raw opium when they broke into a room in Mrs. C !'.ider'i rooming house at 1617 Chicago street and arrested William Spady negro pugilist, and Frank Housky, a well known figure of Omaha's sub merged life. Following swiftly on the arrest of Housky and Spady came the arrest of Dave Giliasky, a drag clerk. Gilinsky and Hoosky, police say, are the "master minds" of the Omaha organi zation which has been doling out drags to local addicts, and reaping enormous profits. Other arrests in connection with the case were: Frank Ledford. 606 North Sixteenth street: George Telford, Brunswick hotel; Marie bkraner, colored, of i3 North Thirteenth street, and Louis Blanston, colored, of the same address. Agents fcr the Tnwt. Police say that Ledford and Telford are agents for Housky and Gilinsky and that tlx others are addicts to drug habits who were being furnished with "dope." In the room on Chicago street was found a suitcase containing a set of fine pharmacist's scales, a pot of gum opium, which Spady, who is said to be "cook" for the outfit, had reduced to liquid state for convenience in sell ing in small quantities. The total value of the contraband is said to be at least $1,000. In the room also wss found a note, which is now in possession of gov ernment officials. This note read: "Dave send me some cubes, some pis tols and two cans of mud." The sig nature was a telephone number which the police said is "Douglas 5580." This is the number of the phone at Mrs. Rider's place. Cash Found in Cans. Four cans of money, all in small change, quarters, halves and dimes, were also found. This totaled nearly $200 and is said to represent the amount taken in at "headquarters" during the day. To establish connection between the numerous robberies of drug stores, and the prisoners now in jail, is the next step of the police work. The be lief is, however, that the "dope" handled by the gang caught last night was shipped here from Chicago. Harry Bnford Shines Ajin. Patrol Chauffeur Harry Buford landed the tip that started the investi gation into dope activities, and he figured in the arrests which were made with the assistance of Detectives Cunningham, Sutton, Brinkman and Unger. All of the prisoners were being held for the federal authorities, as violators of the Harrkon anti-drug law, which prescribes an equa' penalty for having the stuff in one's possession, or for selling it Bankers Will Investigate Ownership of Certificate Mr. and (rs. Mike Ferrero of St Paul, stopping at the Hotel Lange, were arrested last night by Detective Frank Murphy on request of St Paul, Minn., authorities, who said that they had attempted to collect on a stolen certificate of deposit calling for $600. The attempt at collection was made through the First National bank of Omaha, and when the stolen certi ficate, about which they had already been warned, turned up, the bankers telegraphed to St. Paul.
