DRAFT OF A BILL.
Commissioners Hope to Eliminate
Traffic in Drugs.

The Commissioners today transmitted to
Chairman Gallinger of the Senate District
committee the draft of a bill to amend the
act of Congress regulating the practice OF
pharmacy and sale of poisons in the Dis
trict. The act, although comparatively new
having only been in operation since last
May has been found faulty and in need OF
more stringent provisions, as it has failed
to stamp out promscuous traffic in cocaine
and other drugs by unreliable persons.
The Commissioners amendment is the re-
suit of a recommendation made by Commits
sioner West. 1t provides that 1t shall be
unlawful for any person, other than regis
tered druggist physician, dentist or vete-
rinaran, to have In his possession. except as
provided in the act, any substance or prep
aration named in the act, except upon
prescription of a physician, and then only
when the same Is inclosed in a bottle or
other package bearing the name of the phy-
stefan prescribing the same and the name
of the person for whom it is prescribed
The draft Is intended to amend section IL OF
the act.
In their explanatory letter accompanying
the bill the Commissioners state that a
number Of persons have been arrested In
this jurisdiction with cocaine in their pos
session. and in one case the prisoner car
ried a book with the body cut out in the
center and filled with the drug, but 1t could
not be used as evidence of the unlawful
consumption of the drug is increasing and
the public's interests require that efficient
and drastic measures should be adopted to
prevent its unlawful disposition ana use;
The Commissioners are officially informed
that provision similar to the proposed
amendment is in force in many other juris-
dictions.
According to information furnished the
Commissioners recently by the superintend-
ent of police the cocaine habit in the Dis
trict has grown to an alarming extent with
| in the past year, in spite Of the good inten-
lions of the new law. The situation is at
tributed to the leniency of the laws regard
| ing drugs in the bordering states-Maryland
and Virginia. The superintendent of police
in a recent report stated that seldom a
night passes that some one Is not arrested
while in a crazed condition from the effects
| of cocaine. He is satisfied that the local
druggists are doing their utmost to carry
out the law and that the locke fends" are
being supplied with the drug by persons
smuggling it from the bordering states.

NO LAY OFF AT NAVY YARD.
Employees Feel More Secure in Their
Positions

OF the more than 5000 men who are
employed in the navy yard. quite a num-
Der have felt uneasy of late owing to a
rumor that there was likely to be whole
sale lay-off, owing to lack of funds, but
upon investigation the rumor can be said
to be groundless. Instead of a lay-off, it
is stated, there are prospects that work is
assured for two years to come, on account
of the armament that will be required for
the new ships of the navy which were but
recently authorized by Congress.
In the north and south gunshops there
are two shifts of men, who work eight
hours each, the first from am. to pm.
and the second from pm. till IL midnight.
Like conditions exist in the east and west
gun carriage, the secondary mount, the
cartridge case and the breech mechanism
shops. There is therefore said to be plenty
of work ahead, and with the new bat
teries which are to be installed aboard the
Oregon and several others which are or
dered to the respective navy yards for re-
pairs, the outlook is bright for permanent
work to the employees Of the Washington
navy yard.
