ADULTERATING DRUGS.
Druggists in Division to Be Tried for
Various Offenses.

Efforts on the part of the officers who
do duty in the Division" to break up the
sale of drugs, which are responsible for the
wrecking of many lives and the breaking
down of many constitutions, have resulted
In the filing of papers in the Police Court
against DR.. William P. Phelps, who keeps
drug store at 18th and streets north
west, and Julian S. Rowland, a registered
clerk, working in that store.
The information and warrants were sworn
out by Detective C. w. Proctor Officer
William Mcdonnell of the first precinct
station worked up the case.
Complaint came to the officers from resi-
dents of the Division that this drug store
was selling adulterated drugs. According
to their assertions to the police, patrons of
the store sell jewelry, clothing, etc, there,
getting In return cocaine. Usually these
articles are redeemed later.
Three charges are placed against DR.
Phelps He is charged with being an I'M
licensed pawnbroker, with adulterating CO.
caine and with not registering sales of CO.
caine. Rowland, the registered clerk, is
charged with adulterating cocaine.
In searching for witnesses for the case
some of the pitiful results of the use of the
drugs were found. In one case house
was visited and the officer found a girl on
the floor. She thought she was cleaning
the carpet, but instead of using a broom
she had a stick, poking pieces of dirt to-
gether IN a pile. In another case they
found woman the arch of whose nose
was practically eaten away by the use of
cocaine by snuffiing 1t up her nose. These
are only examples. 1t is stated that fifteen
witnesses Will testify against the druggist
and his clerk.
When the case came up In the Police
Court this morning the defendants demand
ed jury trial DR.. Phelps gave bond for
800 and Rowland gave bond for 800 for
their appearance In the Police Court when

After Buried Treasures.

About five years ago three-masted
schooner laden with a valuable cargo of
railway supplies, on her way to a South
American port, was lost on the coast of
North Carolina, near Chfcamicomco, and
all hope of regaining her cargo was long
ago abandoned. Recently, however, Capt.
John Wheaton of Washington, n. c., made
several visits to the wreck in diving suit,
and he has ascertained that when east
winds blow the tidal action cuts the sand
from the wreck, leaving the cargo exposed.
1t is now proposed to make an effort to sal
wage the cargo of the vessel. which. if in
good condition, is worth considerable money.
On the wrecked schooner are ten locomo-
tive engines complete, 200 tons of rails and
a large quantity of machinery.
