DRUGGISTS PRESCRIPTIONS
A Coroner's Jury Advises an Investigation
and Safeguards.
Result of an Inquest Over the Body
of a Child who Was Not At
tended by n Physician.

An inquest was held at the sixth precinct
station house this morning by DIR. l.. w.
Glazebrook, the deputy coroner to inquire
into the death of Bernetta Warfield, a
negro child six months old. The baby died
Sunday, and its mother stated to the
authorities at the time that she had given
the child a prescription prepared by a.
Efchhorn, a druggist at LIST and X streets
northwest. Not improving, the child was
again taken to the drug store and pre-
scribed for by the druggist.
The jury empaneled this morning by the
deputy coroner consisted of Alfred s. Will
sen, c. w. Cuthbertson, Otto Hattworth,
Henry Wills, Joseph Daley and r. b.
Boyle. jr. After hearing a number of wit
nesses, the Jury returned verdict to the
effect that the child came to her death as
a result of malnutrition, land further,
that from the evidence, she received i'm
proper food and medical attention, the only
such care having been given by a druggist
not a registered physician, the said medi-
cine having been given by druggist with
out a proper and thorough examination, or
without q knowledge of the childs condi-
ton"
Continuing, the jurys verdict reads: I'VE
do not consider that the said medicine was
in any way responsible for the said death.
We further recommend that the indiscrimi-
nate prescribing by druggists and their
clerks be more carefully investigated by
the proper authorities"

Aims Of q New Organization. With
Headquarters Here.

Headquarters Here.
A meeting of the executive committee of
the American Antitrust League was held
last evening at the league headquarters,

The purpose of the organization is to

ence of trusts and combines. According to
the circular setting forth the aims, the
system which is to be followed In the fight
against trusts is as follows:
Full reports of the organization of new
trusts and of the operations of those al
ready IN existence, together with copies of
existing antitrust laws and any new legis-
lation proposed against them: as full re-
ports as possible of court decisions and
trials or labor troubles involving a con-
hict between the people and any of the
trusts. These reports shall also include
a record of the official conduct of all ma
ionai, state and municipal officers, both
legislative, executive and judicial, such as
will show just the kind of public service
the people may in future expect from such
public officers during the pending struggle
to rescue this nation from the grasp of the
trust eligarchy.''
Although the president of the league will

headquarters viii be In this city.
