SECRET DRUG RING
SMUGGLERS ACTIVE IN LONDON. LONDON, October 17. A new and secretly organised drug traffic organisation has been creates in England, with a mysterious inner circle whose agents are principally sailors. London is its centre owing tc the ease of smuggling drugs in the Thames. The gang is cleverly organised and completely eclipses the rudimentary methods of the late notorious “Brilliant” Chang and his Chinatown gang, when Poplar was the centre of the East End drug traffic.
Two Che'lseia girls repeatedly smuggle French silk into Putney after crossing the Channel by motor-boat. It woulc he still easier to smuggle cocaine. The only way to combat the menace ie more and faster Customs launches i v the Thames estuary.
