It DOC BUTLER IS
QUITTING MINES,
33 HJF SEDUCE
WASHINGTON. Sept., 30. (/P)~
From a corps famed for its fight
ing soon will come forth a leader
bright with much of its martial
glory.
For on October 1 Smedley D.
Butler .fiery and spectacular ma
jor general of the marines, retires
at the age of 50 after a service of
a third of a century.
Around this slender Quaker
valor has woven shining tales.
His deeds in peace have been
hardly less glamorous than those
in war
His racy, blunt speeches proba
bly have caused him more trou
ble than all the bandits he fought
in Haiti, Nicaragua and China.
His remarks about Benito Mus
solini evoked an apology from the
American government to the Ital
ian premier and a reprimand for
himself from the Secretary of the
Navy. His expressed regret called
off a court martial.
For alleged use of the word
“hell” he was cut off a radio pro
gram.
Pride of the “Devil Dogs”, Gen
eral Butler has won decorations
on widely scattered battlefields.
Two congressional medals of hon
or have been awarded him for
bravery.
“His was a magic name in bat
tle” is the tribute of an associate
to the stormy “Leatherneck” lead
er who embodies for many per
sons all the fighting qualities
which the name marine suggests.
He has the reputation of “pat
tflng his men on the back when
they do the job well” and proba
bly calls more marines by their
first name than any other officer
Gesticulating with a long, bent
forefinger, he carries wit and hu
mor in his deep, measured tones.
Many are the stories told by his
associates of his gallantry. .
They range from the time when
as a young officer in China he
dared shot and shell to rescue a
wounded British soldier until that
not long past day at Quantico
when he leaped from his horse to
carry the pack of a sick man.
Enlisting in the marine corps
shortly after he was 16, by “put
ting up his age a bit” he soon be
came a lieutenant. He was a brig
adier general at 39.
Philadelphia borrowed him dur
ing 1924-25 to act as director of
public safety. He relentlessly
fought bootleggers and politicians
only to be replaced by the mayor
with another man.
Only a war emergency would
induce him to enter public ser
vice again, he says

SHIPMENTS OF NARCOTICS
SEIZED SI FRANCISCO
| SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30. (/P)—
! Narcotic peddlers were out the neat
jsum of $65,000 as the result of the
j seizure of a shipment of opium
from the Dollar Steamship liner,
President McKinley. Two were ar
rested in connection with the seiz
ure.
Police in Los Angeles became
suspicious at seeing a pretty white
girl, Mrs. Hannon, in company
with a Chinese, Joe Chung, in a
restaurant here. The officials wait
ed outside the restaurant and when
they came out they arrested them.
Chung was found to be carrying
a great deal of opium on his per
son. The companionship of the
white woman with the Chinese was
explained by the fact that Chung
supplied Mrs. Harmon with drugs.
