Augusta received. a visitation from
the storm king. yesterday but the few
fitful and intermittent snow squalls. If
combined in one. would hardly be
worthy to be called storm. Sufficient
snow fell, however. to whiten the
pavements in the city and the bare
hills in valleys in the outlying districts
and the night was the coolest thus far
experienced in this section. this fall
AT 11.30 p. M. the thermometer regis
tered 20 degrees. and from that time
until. early this morning. the mercury
fluctuated about that point.

DOWNFALL OF POE AMENDMENT
Proposed Statute Was OverwheIm-
ingly Defeated In both City and
State Majority Against the TIeas-
ure is 5000.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. S.-Ad,
ditional returns from the Mary
land counties and city precincts
that were not counted last night
confirm the overwhelming defeat
Of the proposed suffrage restriction
amendment to the constitution, but
leave in doubt the state Comptroll-
ership, and only complete returns
will show whether Mccullough,
Republican, or Atkinson Demo
crat, has been elected. Full re-
turns in Baltimore give Atkinson
a majority of 1900, but several
counties are to be heard from yet,
and it will probably be at late
hour tonight before all the official
returns have been completed. The
legislature is also left in doubt by
later returns. The senate is GER
tainly Democratic but the official
count throughout the state must
be completed before the exact com
position of the house of delegates
is known. The legislature elects
the state treasurer and the politics
of that offcial%.as we'll as of the
board Of public works, ofwhich he
will be a member, will depend on
the legislative returns yet to come
in.
The result in the city and re-
turns from all over the state show
that the Poe amendment has been
defeated by over $1,000 majority,
and with it Senator German and
his state Democratic machine has
gone down in defeat. The city
vote is as follows: For Poe amend
mept, 46,845; majority against 90,
$50. The estimated majority
against the amendment in the coun-
ties is 700. The city vote for

WILD SCOPE OF COCAINE HABIT
The Present Law ia Maryland is Said
20 Be Inadequate.

10 LG Et-2NelOate.
In spite Of the law passed by the
last Legislature governing the sale
of cocaine, it is very probable that
further action will be taken this
fall to curb the constantly growing
evil of coke taking, which is
running the lives of thousands of
persons, both white and colored,
in Maryland. The facility with
which the drug can be purchased
and applied to the human consti-
tuition, as well as its terrible hold
upon the system, and the awful
life Of suffering to which it ulti-
mately leads makes cocaine, i'll the
eyes ofmedical men, a danger one
hundred fold greater than the
menace Of the liquor traffic.
DR.. George L. Wilkins, the
physician to the Baltimore city
Jail, said that the law is absolutely
of no avail in prohibiting the sale,
as proven by the cases Of cocaine
friends which come under his care
at the Jail every year.
"There has been absolutely no
lessening of the evil" said DR..
Wilkins, "and some druggists are
selling cocaine as openly as ever.
l consider it disgrace to the state
of Maryland that it seems to be
doing nothing to break up the indis-
eliminating sale of the drug: there
should certainly be passed some
drastic form of law which will sure
ly and effectively break up the
evil. know absolutely, from the
word of patients who came before
me in the Jail, that the stuff is
sold openly by some druggists who
are willing to thus make money
by wrecking the lives Of their fell
loW-creatures. | cannot say that
there has been any increase in the
number Of cocaine patients since
the passage Of the law, but there
is certainly no diminution in their
number.
John E. Stillman, manager the
Strasburg's pharmacy, in the
Union Trust Building, also talks
upon the subject, and substantial
ly backed up DR.. Wilkins state
ment. He said:
The use of cocaine as a habit
is on the increase right here in
Baltimore, and l know what ! am
talking about.
rs it sold surreptitiously? Well,
no it is not necessary to do that;
some drug stores simply sell it
openly. Why, a man can get all
the cocaine he wants right now in
Baltimore from any druggist.
There is law against selling CO.
caine, but the law is constantly be-
ing violated. There seems to be
no more trouble in purchasing CO.
caine in any form or quantity than
there is in buying soda water. The
chief trouble which the authorities
are encountering is the difficulty
of proving the sale on the part of
