Police Court have from time to time looked up
the law to find some section under which they

opium joints in this city, but thus far they
have found no section that the courts would
hold applied to such a business. There was q
prosecution under a section of the pharmacy
law, but upon a hearing in the Criminal Court
it was decided that that law did not apply.
Such has been the state Of affairs in the Dis
trict so far as opium joints are concerned. and
so far as Is known there has never been a law
under which the proprietors could be prose-
cuted.
