MORPHINE-SELLBRS.
A Crusade About to Be Started
by WOman's Society.

Another crusade is about to be organized.
This time it will be to effect the enforce
ment of the law that requires druggists to
demand a physicians prescription before
they sell morphine. The persons who will
whip the Illicit traffickers of the deadly
drug into line are no less an organization
than the Woman's Society for the Correc-
ton of Public Abuses.
Mrs. Dr. Winzeu and two ladies called at
the Southern Police Station last night with
the request that an officer be sent to arrest
one Of the dispensers of drugs in the drug
gerry of Mcmillan & Frazer at 107 Seventh
street, rs they had bought a bottle of sui
phate of morphine for so cents without a
request as required by law being presented.
Captain Short uniformed them that the arrest
could not be made on that evidence alone
without there being a warrant issued. They
left in dudgeOn at the delay caused by
law.

had visited a clearinghouse on Jessie street,

was densely crowded long before the APP
pointed hour, and among those present
were good many prominent and representa-
tive citizens.
The cause of this interest, as all news
paper-readers know, was the desire of the
pubic, expressed at a mass-meeting on the
previous night, that Judge Wallace be re-
elected Presiding Judge, in order that the
popular crusade against doodle might be
pushed to successful result.
committee of citizens was appointed on
that occasion to meet with the Judges ana

A SINGULAR STORY
About Two Patients Who Were Sent to the
Agnews ASYLUM.

A singular story concerning two patients
at the County Hospital came to light yester-
day. 1t is: Two aged patients, laborers,
were taken from the City and County Hos
pltal to the offices of the Insanity Commits
siOners in the new City Hall on the 14th
nit. They were registered as Drew and
Nelson and their ages 70 sand IS respectively.
DR.. Healy had treated them for softening of
the brain, but finally concluded that their
minds were unbalanced. SO he testified be-
fore the commission that they we're insane
and fit subjects for lunatic asylum.
After hearing the testimony of the hos
pital attaches Drs. Phelan and Wendele,
the members OF the board present, con-
Guided that the subjects were insane, and
they were sent to the asylum at Agnews
Twenty minutes after arrival at the asylum
old man Drew died. Nelson followed him
TO the grave a week later.
Friends of the deceased declare that
neither was insane and will demand an in
yestigati0n by the proper authorities.

Judge Wallace voted for Judge Coffey,
who in turn voted for Judge Wallace while
Judge Trout voted for Judge Hunt
When the result WAS announced Mr.
Lynch of the committee of citizens was
called in and informed of its nature.
Judge Finn explained that the election OF
successor to Presiding Judge Wallace
rested up0n custom cOlncldent with the
creation OF the court, and that there was no
personal dissatisfaction With Judge wall
ace, but 1t was thought by majority OF the
Judges that a rule based upon good reasons
and so far productive Of good results should
not be departed from; it kept political con-
tentl0n and personal rivalry out OF the
court and preserved the equilibrium OF the
tribunal In electing Judge Trout no DIS
respect whatever was intended 70 the WISH
OF the people EXPRESSED in their resolutions
Judges Slack and CARRIER spoke in the
same vein, indorsing Judge Firms remarks
in full and adding that the people could
place absolute confidence in the ability and
purpose of Judge Trout. assisted by the
Superior Court to do all that lay In the
power of the court to uproot corruption and
bring evil-d0ers to judgment.
WHAT Is WANTED.
+. A. Gibbs, one Of the committee. re-
piled briefly that the peoples appeal TO the
court was the outgrOwth OF their strong de-
sire to have the government purified, and
their confidence In the ability OF Judge
Wallace TO do it. Since the Judges had
seen fit to act otherwise. the people would
be compelled to accept the situation, and
trust in the courage Of the new admlnlstra-
ton to continue the grand work so well be-
gun by the retiring administration.
On motion OF Judge Finn, seconded by
Judges Murphy and Hebbard, the thanks or
the court were rendered Judge Wallace for
his efficient discharge of the duties OF the
Presiding JudgeshiD for the past year.
Judge Wallace replied briefly, and In turn
thanked the court for the eourtesies ex-
tended him, and the cheerful assistance he
had received from his fellow Judges.
The subject next considered was the re-
quest If the Board of Trade in relation to
insolvency proceedings. After long con-
ference the following amendments to Rule
45 were adopted. which are Substantially

Rev. j. a. Rooney, o. p, lectured last
evening at ST. Domnic's Church, corner Of
Bush and Steiner streets, on Retaliation
or Gods Law of Like and Like" The
speaker sought TO prove that Gods law is a
law Of compensation, infallible and certain
and that all human experience teaches that
attempted evasion Of it is an act of folly.
In the course of his remarks the speaker
drew many illustrations from Scripture
ana history TO show that God deals with US
as we deal with him. He cited the destruc-
tion OF many of the ancient cities to show
how Goa mad wreaked a just vengeance

Maggie Brown Dies Suddenly
Peculiar Case.
Her Beauty Causes Downfall-Refuses the Ex
hOrtation of Her Priest-strong Belief
of Malpractice.

Beauty is often found in the lowest slums
which abound in all large cities, and es-
| peelally seaports, but when such is found
! in women there it is generally the cause OF
! their downfall Like a beautiful flower
which has expanded its frail and delicate
petals above mass of reeking fiIth-only to
| be crushed TO death by some brute wallOw-
! ing in the dirt.
Illustrations of this phase of life In all
large cities are given day by day, and the
sad story of w0man's betrayal, her attempt
to get rid of the result Of her fall, and
often the death caused by such acts. This
city has turni shed its quota, and from
| lew facts gathered concerning the body OF q
beautiful girl taken yesterday to the MOrgue,
| 1t would seem that another Of those MUIR
ders, called criminal malpractice, has been
committed, without any possible chance of
the perpetrator being brought to the bar of
Justice to answer for his crime.
BEAUTY AND POVERTY.
In little. lOw-ceiled back room upon the
second floor of 1920 Dupont street, q
teDement-hOuse which, from its every ap-
pearance, denoted its occupants to belong
to the pOverty-strcken class, beautiful
girl died yesterday morning, a few moments
ere the neighboring clock tOlled the hour Of
3. Her death was reported to an under
taker by some relative, and thence it
was reported to the Morgue as case which
possibly needed investigation.
The body was taken to the death-house of
the public, as the Deputy Coroner was I'M
able to get DR.. g. +. Rappin, who had been
called III the night before, to sign the neces-
sary death certificate. 1t was learned that
the girls name was Maggie Brown. She
was IS years of age, and kept house for her
grandfather, Juan Reggin0, a sailors
clearinghouse runner.
Inquiry at the house developed the infOr-
nation that Maggie had been i'll for over
three weeks, that she was SICK for six days
before she summoned a physician, and that

REFUSED TO CONFESS.

and suspected thai something was wrong.
Seeing that she was in a very critical cODdi-
ton they summoned priest. and she was
exh0rted to disclose the facts in con-
fessiOn ii there was anything wrong,
but she refused, saying there was nothing
she knew of to cause the illness from which
she was almost then expiring. The autopsy
disclosed the fact that she had died of peri
tODitis, the supposed cause of which was
malpractice. The inquest will be held to-
day.
