Every section of the country had
its list of dead?mefk and women killed
by the poison sold to them as

men had died there from wood
* alcohol poisoning and called on the j
police of New York to trace the source1
* of the "murder whiskey'' believed to j
have been sent oui of this city in J
large quantities.
All governmental agencies were in- J
stantly aroused to action. The police,
Secree Service, Internal Revenue j
Agents and federal prosecuting officials
united In running down the illi-1

wood alcohol into fortunes.

State to State. The arrests resulted j
from his investigation intgthe deaths!
of more than fifty persons in the Connecticut

Harry Shapiro, of Springfield.
Although several new cases of thef
-? poisoning were reportea toaay in xne|
valley, the number decreased considI
erably ever Friday and Saturday. The'

Nei York, Dec. 28?With six men
in cuiody, alleged ring leaders in a
consipacy to flood New York, New
Jersqf and New England with poisonouj
substitutes for whiskey, federaljattte
and city authorities were
uniti tonight in a various pursuit
of tie purveyers of the poisonous
bevfafes which have caused scores
of diaths end hundreds of cases of
bliifntss and illness. The capture of
at kast a score or more of the poison
disposers is expected according to
th*'federal officials.
fyi the meantime the toll of death
and serious illness caused through
drinking wood alcohol and other illicit
concoctions continued to mount
inWew York and adjacent cities.
| During the day four more deaths were
i recorded, one each from Newark, Elizabeth,
Passaic, and one ffom New
York. In addition, two men and a
wouan w|re picked up unconscious
on New York streets and two men in
ipatsaic in similar condition, all four
jlping critically ill tonight from alcololic
poisoning.
Thoroughly aroused by the ever
growing list of fatalities the authorljties
1ield several conferences during
i the day at which cooperation wa6
jpl^ined between the different federal
Janf municipal departments. Col.
Daniel L. Porter, supervising revenue
agent for New York, who is at the
head of the campaign for the federal
government, declared tonight that
York city is the headquarters
for the country in the Illicit liquor industry
and that it is impossible as yet
to tell how far the ramifications of
the trade extend.
The two most important arrests
made so tar, according to the federal
agents ar^ those of John Romanelli,
a Brooklyii undertaker and Samuel
Saleeby, a Brooklyn druggist, who
are accused M the poison throughout
New England The two men were released
toniglTt op $25,000 bail pending
further examination. >
The remaining four men are Aloph
Panarelll, a fohner saloon keeper,
Carmine Licenziato, Amendi0 Delooma
and Luigl Puca, Italian grocers.
Panarelll has made a statement to the
authorities in regrd to the method
employed for the distribuion of the
liquor in New England/&4 it was
stated tonight he mayAX* witness
for the government.
Two of seven barrel of liquor
which Romanelli is accused of having
sold are said to have beeh bought by
I a Bronx saloon keeper. This man, ac
i cording t0 Colonel Porter,, came to
; Panarelli after the sale and denounced
him for having charged Vim $3,200
for wood alcohol.
Panarelli, who acted as Romanelli's
agent claims, Colonel Porter said,
that he took a sample of the liquor
'to a druggist who confirmed the saloon
keeper's word that it was poison.
He said that he then warned Nathau
Saizberg, a Hartford, Conn., saloon
keeper over the long distance telephone
not to sell any of these barrels
of the liquor he had bought. Saizberg
told him, he^'ontinupd, that he had
sold a barre^ j a dealer in Chicopee,
Mass., and smaller quantities to other
dealers in Hartford but that he
: would try and recover as much of
[the liquor as he could. Later he was
|informed by Saizberg that he had got
back almost all except a half barrel
which had been sold in Chicopee. AfI
ter reading of the deaths from wood
alcohol poisoning in Connecticut and
! Massachusetts, Panarelli went to a
'lawyer and on his advice surrendered
himself to Revenue Agent Dobbs.
A still and ,500 gallons of liquor
were seized tonight in a raid in the

wood alcohol poisoning. He lived in
a Fulton street house where four
others have died from drinking poip[onous
liquor.
Chicopee, Mass., Dec. 29?Five

SUGAR WILL ADVANCE.
Advance Crop Will Bring Twenty
Cents a IJbund.
1 i
New York. Dec. 29?The public
probably will have to pay 20 cents a
pound for the advance crop of 9,000000
pounds of Cuban sugar, now being
delivered and distributed here,
according to a statement today by
Federal Food Administrator Williams.
"This is due to the fact that dealers
here are required to pay a higher
price to the Cubdn producers for the
crop which is in advance of the regular
output," said Mr. Williams. "We 1
can not control the prices charged by 3
Cubans." i
After one other shipment next !
month, it is expected that the regular
1920 crop of Cuban sugar Will com- 1
inence coming into me unuea auuetj and
with the delivery of the regular '
crop, Mr. Williams said, he and his 1
aids would try to keep the price dowu '
to 14 or 15 cents a pound. <

PROHIBITION INCREASED
SHE DRUG ADDICT. j
New York, Dec. 29?Health Commissioner
Royal S. Copeland, upon
reading reports tonight that there ,
have been more than 255 person^kill- j
ed in various cities by drinking wood .
alcohol, declared that in the past few (
weeks thousands of habitual drinkers
in this city alone have turned to .
drugs because their fear of wood ,
alcoholic poisoning.
"In New York city,'' said the com- (
missioner "there are between 100,000
and 200,000 drug addicts. I dare not 1
even roughly estimate the 4 number
throughout the country. The advent
of prohibition has more than doubled
the number nf drug fiends. Prohibi
tlon without governmental control of
the drug trade is ridiculous.
"Back of all this hellish misery
caused by the illicit sale of heroin,
morphine and cocaine, all of them de- 1
rivatives of opium, there is what I
call 'the drug ring.' The headquarters
of the group of men comprising this
ling in New York. For months now
the health department has been secretly
tightening the meshes of a net
about these men and before long I
hope t0 bring them to justice. Who
these men are I am not prepared to
say just now.
"Hundreds or thousands of pounds
of crude opium, grown in India, are
shipped to this country via China.
Here the opinum is manufactured into
its derivatives. There is absolutely
no medical use for heroin. Then-the
morphine, heroin and cocaine is ship-1
ped out of America and smuggled i
back by the way of Mexico and Canada.
It is imperative that there shall
be worked oilt some system of international
control of crude opium. Hhe
* -1 Mt t-i 14 tr.
arug evn win persist so iuu^ cvo u is
possible for American manufacturers
to prepare the opium, ship It away
and then regain control of the drugs
through smuggling.
I'rges Federal Control.
"It is Inqimbent upon the federal
government, upon the heads of other
governments, upon the league of
nations, upon every official body that
can be considered to push some plan 1
for the control of the parcotic- evil. 1
Drugs are so easily concealed; the!
drug bootlegger is rarely caught. The
physician and the health departments
can heal some of these poor victims,
but without strict governmental control
as to prohibit the possibility of
illicit possession of narcotics, the
problem will never be solved. The evil
growing is rotting the wrole social
fabric. It is only the poorest classes
that the health departments can
reach, and even when cure^ the patients
are likely t0 return to the drug
upon the first physical pain, moral
suffering or social disaster."
