DRUGGISTS WOULD HAVE
SHERMAN LAW CHANGED.
National Wholesale Association Declares
Present Act Is Entirely Too Rad
ical in Operation.

DENVER, Oct. S.-According to a
resolution adopted yesterday by the an
nual convention of the National Whole
sale Druggists Association, now in SEES
sion here, the Sherman antitrust law
lis entirely too radical and should be
amended or new legislation enacted to
permit reasonable trade agreements.
The resolution declares the belief OF the
association to be that literal application
of the Sherman law will crate the
greatest possible restraint of trade. al
though that is the condition it is in
tended to prevent.
The association also declares cocaine
to be the most pernicious of all drugs,
ane one of it's members suggested that
sales to retailers be limited to one
ounce at a time, just enough to use IN
prescriptions. The national pure food
law received hearty support.

WANTS MORRIS'S RIGHT TO
DRIVE AUTO TAKEN AWAY.
Request to State Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles to Revoke License.

A. B. Lemassena. commissioner of
motor vehicles, today wrote to J. G. r.
Smith, State Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles, asking that the automobile Ii
cense of DR.. Walter H. Morris, who last
week ran down and killed Marcus j.
Jacobs, a local theatrical manager, be
revoked.
Mr.. Lemassena asks the State COM
missioner to revoke the license on three
counts: that after striking a mar the
machine was not stopped; for exceeding
the speed limit; for being under the in
fuenice of intoxicating drink while run
ming the car.
Mr.. Lemassena said today that there
was no doubt but that the State COM

LIV TIME
FOR LEVEENS
TONIGHT
Demand May Be Made That
President ROSenfeIdt
Resign.

There is apt to be a lively session in
Dassing's Hall, Springfield n Morris
avenues, tonight, when the Leveen
Democratic Association meets. In addi-
ton to the usual routine business DR..
Charles F. Kraemer and Assemblyman
John w. Lane will speak on campaign
issues.
The Leveens, 1t will be remembered,
supported DR.. Kraemer for the nomina-
ton For Board of Works.
The specially interesting feature of
the meeting will probably take place
when President G. l.. Rosenfeldt, in the
regular order of business, will call for
remarks under the head of good and
w~elfaBe.' 1t is understood that some
of the members will ask that the chair
man resign. If this takes place Rosen-
feldt's friends will protest, and the be-
ginning of an interesting debate will be
thus started.
1t is said that Mr.. Rosenfeldts rights
to citizenship will be questioned.
Many members of the association dld
not take kindly to the election of Presi-
dent Rosenfeldt, as was demonstrated
after the meeting at which he was
elected last week. He won u by only
two votes on the forma ballot. he
was twelve below his opponent ON the
previous informal ballot. Alderman
Leveen was among the disappointed
ones, but chief among them was Max
Splitter, one of the organizers and It's
former financial secretary.
..In behalf of the majority of mem
bers in good standing" said Mr.. Spit
ger. ST wish to state that we are not
satisfied with the selection of G.. l..
Rosenfeldt as president. On the infor-
NAL ballot Mr.. Rosenfeldt was twelve
votes behind the candidate who was
the most logical one before the meet
ing. However, on the formal oailot'

two votes to spare.

Office has not been looked on favorably,
but for the sake of harmony 1T was

Tomasi's principal defense was that he
shot Mrs. Congelio in self defense, and
many believe that a verdict of murder in

The court, II is said, also objected to
the county furnishing the defendants
