or, but the habit has grown and the
wreck of lives is becoming apparent
The present law provides that every
sale shall be registered. but as the guam
uty is not recorded. there is no way to
ascertain the increase in consumption,
unless it be through the importation
statistics. In 1901 there was imported
into the United States cocaine valued at
Sl76.94S: in 1902. 1924 704. and for the first
nine months in 1898, $3.50, 600, which would
indicate about $4,000 for the year. The
last hgures represent about 81, 500 ounces.

No Means of Gaugulg
Local Use of Cocaine
Habit on Alarming Increase in the District,
But Health Office Can by Law Record
Only Name and Quality"

Although the cocaine habit is said -
be on an alarming increase in the Dis
trict of Columbia, 1T is impossible for
the Health Department to obtain any
statistics by which might be ascertain
ed the specific amount consumed.
The trouble is in a typographical err
ror in the anti-poison law. which pro-
vides that thu maine and quality" Of
cocaine sold by druggists be registered.
DIR. Woodward this morning pronounced
it obvious that the legislators intended
the law to read name and quantity
for the reason that quality" as IL Is
used. had absolutely no significance.

ROOSEVELT And CLEVELAND
BOTH SIGN AN APPEAL
American Bible Society Asks for Funds
to Enable 1t to Carry on It's Work.

The American Bible Society has is
sued an appeal for funds. II says, in
part:
The American Bible Society for
nearly eighty-eight years has pursued
its single aim OF circulating the Bible
without note or comment IN this and
all lands. For this purpose it has been
concerned in securing transIafions OF
the Scriptures in nearly 100 languages
To have circulated. as Il has done
100000 Bibles. testaments. or portions
thereof. IS 20 have powerfully contrib
utcd to the moral health OF the world
Inasmuch as the work OF the society
is IN danger Of being seriously Grip
pied from lack OF funds. it's appeals for
aid should meet generous response from
all who love American institutions We
owe a debt TO the Bible. which can be
partly paid now by carrying forward
this great undertaking with increased
vfgOT."
The appeal bears the signatures OF
President Roosevelt and former Presi-
dent Cleveland.

GOVERNMENT WINS
IN LAND FRAUDS
Idaho Judge UphOIds Con-
tenti0ns Of United States.
TRIALS WILL FOLLOW
One Hundred Indictments Against Al
legged Boodlers Are to Be Tried.
Pleas in Abatement.

The Department of Justice received
dispatches this morning telling of an
important Government victory in the hig
land cases in Montana, in which gigantic
frauds under the timber and stone act
are alleged, and in which Senator w
A. Clark is indirectly involved.
A decision by Judge Beatty. of the
Idaho district, sitting in the place OF
Judge Knowles, on the Federal district
bench in Montana, upholds the Govern
ment's contention on pleas in abate-
ment affecting more than a hundred in
dictments under the timber and stone
act. and forces those indicted to trial.
Not only is the finding of the court i'm
portant because of it's relation TO the
land cases. but because it opens up the
wav to a decision by the Supreme Court
on questions OF moment with regard to
the grand jury system of the country.
Scores Of Indictments.
There are pending in tirv Federal dis
trict court ia Montana more than a
hun ired indictments growing out Of al
legged fraudulent entries to land. Eleven
Of these are against w. A. Cobban, for
perjury. and FIVE or six against catlin.
his assistant. for the same offense.
The remainder are against about
eighty persons. school teachers and
others. who are charged with making
false ahidavits- After entry. the land
was conveyed to Cobban. and at once
In turn conveyed to Senator Clark
To these indictments the defendants
entered pleas in abatement, In which
il was contended a special assistant at
torney named by the Attorney General
had no right to enter the grand jury
room and either take charge Of or as
sist about the taking of evidence.
Technical Points.
1t was also claimed it was proper
TO bring the proceedings Of the grand
jury room. including the competency OF
testimony offered therein, TO the Judge
Of the court on pleas in abatement in
such manner as TO practically make
the judge an appellate tribunal TO the
grand jury. Many other questions in
volving the sanctity of the grand jury
Eoom were raised. The cases were ar
gued by Judge Burch. Of the Depart
ment of Justice and Special Assistant
Attorney Maynard. The dispatches say
the Government contention has been
sustained at every point.
The Department of Justice and the
Department Of the Interior officials are
greatly pleased with the outcome.
