DRUG TRAFFIC
TURKISH DETECTIVE’S COUP. [by CABLE PRESS ASSN.—COPYRIGHT.] CONSTANTINOPLE, April 11. What is claimed as the biggest police coup in connection with the illicit drug traffic was achieved through the skill of a Turkish detective. He kept posing as a rich American tourist, living at the best hotel, and spending £3OO per month. Among those arrested are leading businessmen, hotel proprietors, agents for a British firm, a Greek actress, and eighty of the gang’s underlings. Four secret heroin factories have been discovered, capable of supplying a ton of the drug each month. The drug is exported by sea, air and land.
