DRUGGIST ACCUSED.
Willis L. Smith Charged With Viola
ton Of the Law.

Detective Proctor. who is detailed to
look after violations of the drug law,
swore out a warrant in the Police Court
this morning for the arrest of William
L. Smith, alleging that he is not a regis
tered pharmacist and that he has been
conducting business in the District. Smith
has drug store at 7th and Pomeroy
streets. About two years ago a young
woman bought carbolc acid at the store
and used it for the purpose of suicide.
The incident attracted attention to the
store, but there was nothing unusual about
that particular transaction, as the law
was complied with so far to that sale.
Precinct Detective Herndon was last night
called upon to render Detective Proctor
assistance, and the former had the drug
gist fill prescription and sell him a small
amount Of paregoric. A purchase of car
bolic acid was also made, and then the
druggist was questioned. 1t Is stated that
he claimed there was registered clerk
seated in front of the counter at the time
the prescription was compounded, and that
the latter supervised the work. The de-
tectives found the clerk. whose name was
given, and, while he said he was in the
store at the time state, 1t is alleged he
denied that he had anything to do with
the business. 1t is likely that the case
will reach the Police Court Monday.

CLEANSING MILK CANS.
Commissioners to Adopt Regulation on
the Subject.


c. F. Doane dairyman and bacteriologfst
at the Maryland agricultural experiment
station. College Park. Md. has written to
the District Commissioners stating that he
has been deeply interested in the contem-
plated action on the part of the District
authorities requiring milk dealers to
cleanse the cans in which they receive milk
from the country producers. Mr.. Doane
explains in detail the advantages to be
gained by an immediate rinsing washing
of the cans instead of allowing milk to sour
and ferment in them until they are re-
turned by train to the dairy farm.
The Commissioners have not finally dis
posed of the matter, which was the subject
of hearing day before yesterday, but 1t
is stated on excellent authority that regu-
1ation requiring city dealers to rinse and
keep clean the wholesale cans will surely
be adopted.

split Is the cuartilla, one-fourth of real
The real Is supposed to be 12x cents, worth
about cents gold. so that the split comes
close to the 1-cent piece.

CASTRo's DECISION.
Patiently Awaited at Foreign Office in
London.

LONDON, January 30.-President Castro's
decision regarding the division of the
Venezuelan customs is st1f awaited The
opinion expressed at the German embassy
and indorsed at the foreign office here is
that if the president is as anxious as the
powers to end the difficulty he would agree
to give them the preference demandd.
No protests on the subject of the pref
erence demanded by the allies have been
received here from the other powers. 1t is
said at the foreign Office that friendly in
terchange of opinion between the various
European governments would undoubtedly
disperse any misunderstanding over the al
lies claims.
Recently, it is asserted, France arranged
that her Venezuelan customs grants of 13
per cent should be respected by the allies
This, the foreign Office officials say will
be done; but Ii is pointed out at the foreign
otfice and at the German embassy that as
France has so far received no payments
under the agreement, she will doubtless see
the advisability Of accepting a reduced
amount and increased security
This, it is stated. could be done upon the
80 per cent customs basis, as in six wears
the payment period proposed the claims of
the allies would be more than wiped out.
taking as a basis the average customs re-
ceipts. and the balance remaining would be
applied to the claims Of France and other
countries in the proportion of say 3 Der
cent or the customs, receipts, under the
same guarantee which induced the allies

The fire is said to have been caused by
lightning. which prevailed throughout this
section during the night
The trolley lines in Buffalo. which get
their power from Niagara Falls. were badly
crippled early today, but, by the use Of
storage batteries, a number Of lines were
operated, although only a limited number
OF cars were run. A number of plants in
Buffalo were without light OF power.
AS soon as possible the work Of replacing
the damaged cables was begun. and within
two hours temporary arrangements had
been made with the Niagara Falls Hy-
draulic Power and Manufacturing Company
whereby power was secured for operating
the local and Buffalo trolley line.
Twenty Of the ffty-fve factories at Lock-
