Cl&cfcgb, Sejlt. 2 Cocaine, freely
dealt out to its victims over the lron-In-boards
and cldthes-hdrses of os
tensible laundries and the brass and
I lacquer of professed Oriental curto
shops throughout Chicago's west side
district, at the sacrificed of the most
Bacred - mementoes and treasured
trinkets ef wives and mothers, Is one
of the "respectable methods" of pur
veying the drug, brought to the pub
lic eye through tbe disclosures of the
Clirler commission.' 'Publishing
thelf preliminary findings for the,
commission in the September num
ber of Everyday Life, John Day, and
Charles W, Collins, special investi
gators, write concerning the efforts of
the Chicago police of the vest side
district to conduct a systematic cru
. sade against the dealers in cocaine:
-'After. hfecklng ,' the ' drug ' store
trade f hey 'found that the fiends were
still getting. 'coke' in lajge quanti
ties,' and then close1' watching of the
furtive victims brought' totheir at-'
tention the den of 'Jim Hing'., To
th. casual passer-by It appeared to
be. a harmless Chinese laundry, and
in lull view, through .the front win
dow were 'the paraphernalia of Mr.
Hing's ostensible trade. But his real
business was conducted in the room
behind a partition and it had earned
for him the sobriquet of 'The Rocke
feller of Dope But purveying co
catae to the inhnbitantS of the thickly
populated region; he had gained
thousands of worse, than tainted dol
lars. .
"So one night tbe signal on the se
cret electric bell at Hing's door" was
given as usual, by a chronic dope
fiend, but behind him stood two de
tectives, and watching the rear was
a patrol wagon load of policemen.
The place was carried with a quick
rushes soon as the door was opened
for the 'stool pigeon' of tha police.
and Hing, with, a loathly tribe of
-'dopes', who had assembled for a
happy cocaine party, were hauled
away. ? - .
"Out of that den the police car
ried two ,of. Hing's ; laundry sacks
. fllted-with" various "kinds' of 'dope',
me : innocent-looking bottle of co
caine: being in the majority, A mov
ing van was needed, however, to car
ry away air of the other evidence of
the.- Infernal traffic'- that Hing 'had
been Carrying on for many monthrf.
The !ace was literally cluttered
with small household 'objects, clocks,
vases, bric-a-brac, rugs, pieces of
furniture and Jewelry that had been
brought there in exchange for a ra
tion of cocaine, too recently for Hing
to sell.
"And in that collection were 20
wedding rings.
"When Hing was tried the wife of
a smuli tailor, who lived near-by, was
one of tbe witnesses, and told a sig
nificant story. She said:
" 'When my husband learned I was
using the stuff, ho wouldn't let me
have any' money. Then I began to
take things from tho house and give
them Ho - the Chinaman for coke.
Once I traded my pocketbook, muf
fler, and our.clock for 25 cents worth.
Then I traded him my wedding ring.
I have been doing that for more than
a,' year, and so have biuny other women.'".-:

the judge, holding up u small gold

sire any longer, and then gave it to
Hing for cocaine. It was my baby's.'
"She was broken-hearted, yes but
when she left the witness stand she
attempted to steal one of the bottles
of cocaine placed upon the judge's
desk as exhibits. To round out her
history, it may be added that th
breaking up of Hing's drug trust did
.1,
not . cure her of her vice; .that her
huBband finally deserted her, her baby
was taken away by the juvenile court
and placed in an institution where it
would get good treatment; and that
she herself disappeared, swallowed
up in the Nowhere of cocaine.
"Another glimpse of the nightmare
was seen recently in the municipal
courts of Chicago. Before -the judge,
charged with disorderly conduct, ap
peared a man half stupefied with
drugs. He was dressed in the filthy
rags of a battered tramp, yet in his
possession were two diamonds, a
gold watch, and a deposit book from
the Franklin Bank of New York,
showing a balance of $1,200. With
the cocaine-fiend's insouciance he
stated that he had been wealthy and
had spent most of his money in ten
years addiction to the drug.
" 'I'm on my way from New York
to Denver,' he said merrily, 'and. if
I ever get there I expect to go up
into the . mountains, where there isn't
any cocaine. I was full of good in
tentions when I left New York; but
now I'in full of coke. Let me read
you all about it judge. I keep a
dlarK a kind of dope book, you See.'
Interested in the case the magistrate
permitted him to read part of his
record of enslavement. ' The last two
jottings he had made Were: 'Got up
at 9 a. m. Ate breakfast and start
ed out. Got drahm of cocaine near
Twenty-second and State streets for
$2. Blowing up strong when I went
into a faint.' 'Been asleep
since 3 a. m. day before yesterday.
Medicine came all right, also . two
crystals in a pack. All fixed for a
seal. Keeling fine.'
"Th;s jargon will have to be trans
lated, for part of Jt is in- the vernac
ular of the fiends. He bought a heavy
dose of cocaine at a dope-den kept by
a negro, well-known -to the police of
Chicago, and Indulged In It so free
ly that the 'blowing-up' or 'floating'
or delirium, . ended in complete un
consciousness. ' This debauch was fol
lowed by a sleep of a6 hours or more.
The -"medicine', to which he refers
was doubtless some patent drug-cure,
all of which contain disguised mor
phine as ' a counter-stimulant. The
'two crystals' are obscure, but prob
ably mean some form of cocaine crys
tals. 'AH fixed for . a seal', means
that he had arranged to purchase one
Of the sealed bottles, containing half
an ounce of pure cocaine hydrochlo
rate, which are as much of a luxury
to the "coke' fiend as an automobile j
is to the normal man. '
. '''This victim-' was discharged, be
cause of his. promises to go west and
reform, and bb' he left the1 court, he
gay ty- remarked to the judge: : 'For
today I'll write In tho diary: Pinched
for using cocaine. Got off without
being fined. Preparing to start for
mountains of Colorado;' '
-i" he continues his wanderings,
liugging tho dream of reformation to
biff-heart. But itwill take some in

i K:-; .
Chicago-; ' Sept 1 Women's need
for the postal savings banks system
which 'President : Taft now proposes
to create per party pledges, but which
Speaker Cannon has defiantly .sought
to smother again by naming a Bos
ton banker. Congressman John W.
Weeks, for the chairmanship of the
house -committee on postof flees and
postroads 'despite declarations of
state federations "of women's clubs
and other organizations the country
over, has "been analyzed by the finan
cial expert, Isaac F. Marcosson; in the
Woman's World" for September, who
says: : "No organized; incentive to
saying could be more potent or ac
cessible than postal savings."
. In explanation for the hostility of
the Aldrlch-Cannon power' in cong
ress to the measure now pending in
the Carter bill, Marcosson says
"One reason why the postal bank sys
tem has not come into use Is that
many savings banks oppose it. Their
opposition Is quite absurd, for the
reason that postal banks would get
the average woman everywhere in
the habit of saving her money and
putting it on deposit. This would be
done with small sums. When she
gets a larger sum she would in
stinctively put it in a real bank, for
the simple reason that the bank
would pay a higher interest than Un
cle Sam." Also a limit of $500 s
fixed by the Carter bill as' the. maxi
mum a depositor can leave in Uncle
Sam's keeping.
It does not require much of an
effort to point out the advantages of
postal savings banks for women and
men", Mr. Marcosson continues. No
matter where, you live or what, you
do, it follows that at some time each
week you have occasion to use the
mails. There Is a very close link be
tween the postoffice and the people.
In rural districts the postoffice is the
meeting plaee for the whole commun
ity, and the village postmaster is the
guide, the philosopher, and friend of
everybody. The rural free delivery
carrier is not only a wandering news
paper, but the confident of every per
son he serves. ' To make these postof
fice officials who come into such in
timate and constant contact with the
people they serve act as savings
agents and savings reminders would
tend to popularize savings and bring
the opportunity to save to the front
door each day of the year.
; "Now the importance of such a
system to the average woman who
stays at home is simply this: She
may have more' money for her imme
diate personal and family needs than
she really spends, but without a spur
to saving she will spend all of it. If
the postman who comes to her front
door every day and rings the bell
says to her: 'Have you any money to
deposit today, she Is very liable to
begin to save in" self-defense. Wo
men are proud aMput money matters.
When the. housewife knows that her
neighbor has a savings account and is
adding to it each, week, she realizes
that the postman may have more res
pect for her. There Is nothing that
so much wins respect in this world as
the knowledge that you have money.
Hence the woman who does not save
and has no postal account will doubt
less begin one at once.
"For the woman who works it has
the same significance, if. she is a
clerk -ta a store, or is employed as a
stenographer, she has occasion to buy
stamp either in a branch postoffice
or elsewhere. If this branch office is
a small: savings bank she will have a
daily reminder that here Is a chance
to start a competency, and if she is
the right sort of woman she will do
it. I, could go on and give countless
examples of the. need of the- postal
savings bank,' but one will suffice to
show the costly results to the United
States of not having them.
''Not long ago arf Italian woman
went to a branch postoffice in one
of. the congested districts of New
York and. bought a postoffice money
order payable to herself and good for
a year. v-- ,
