Jan. 20—in one of the biggest "Human Hauls" in Har lem history "G" men swooped down on an alleged dope ri: g this week. and frightening almost as many more .n: > leaving town according to a Thursday indictment. The ring is charged with importing close to 100 grand in narcotics ir.to this country and either distributing or causing it to be distributed in New York. The "G" men had trailed the alleged dope ring for several months even though no arrests were made until this week. Among those arrested was a stew ard on the ship "Santa Maria.” a Grace line steamship by the r.anv of Carlos Curbclo. 338 W. Nine teenth street. Curbclo was picked up just after the boat docked Thurs day bearing prominent passengers including Secretary of State Cordell Hull, returning from ..ima, Peru.

The government is said to have gotten its information by havi: g a member of the squad pose as a bum and dope addict To rr. i\c..r t!.e ‘ g'-t it.ta tr several time'-, once for stealing an automobile. However it has turned According to information leaking out certain members of the gang were reluctart to deal with the G-man-bum at the outset but after subsequent arrests dec.ded he must be alright Anyway th*= government man thinks he has enough informa tion to convict some of the prisoners taken in the raids that date back Among the charges made by prosecution will be that young school children were used to peddle dope in various forms to their com rades. The state will likely seek to prove that dope has been traced from the gang through the hands of* youngsters to tk* parties they wanted to rcrch. The government had allegedly found information that the drugs came from Peru and other ports tfh the West Coa«t of **outh America and just how much value was placed upon it once in this country.
