H1BERN1ANs coMPL1MENTED
Good Templar Lodge Adopts Com
mandatory Resolutions.

A meeting of Star of Hope Lodge, No.
q, I. o. G. T., was held last evening at
643 Louisiana avenue northwest. There
was a large attendance and four candi-
dates were initiated. Under the new busi-
ness of the lodge attention was directed
to the interview with Mr.. p. T. Moran.
national director of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians, which appeared in Sundays
Star, and as result of the discussion
which ensued a resolution was unani-
mously adopted setting forth:
THAT the members Of Star Of Hope
Lodge, International Order of Good Tenn
plars, have noted with qualification and
pleasure the position taken by Mr.. P. T.
Moran one Of the national directors of the
A. o. H. Gas outlined in Sundays Starr, in
disclaiming all connection between the
Ancient Order of Hibernians and the anti
temperance forces of the District"
1t was further resolved to forward copies
to Mr.. Moran and to Mr.. P. T. Haltigan
Of the National Hibernian.
Arising from the line of argument which
resulted in the above resolution. another
motion was made and carried without a
dissenting voice that the delegates of the
| lodge to the coming national convention be
instructed to secure the appointment OF
committees composed Of Good Templars

of Senator Beveridge's suggestion Of a
800, OOO. 900 limit. 1t was these men
with swollen fortunes that had subsi-
died the press and brought odium even
on the church Of God, he said, and the
remedy lay in revoking the privileges
that made the swollen fortunes possible
and compelling rich men to earn what
they got.
In closing, Mr.. Bryan said that only
an appeal to the conscience Of the PEG,
pie could accomplish these ends he had
in view. TN the name Of the people
who have been victimized: in the name
of the people who have been democrat
lied" he said. I'VE make that appeal
and I believe the appeal will not be In
vain Today the democrats are ready
to apply the principles Of Thomas Jef.
ferson. and today we enter the ngnt
against a divided party-the stand
patters and the reformers."
Predicts Victory.
Then. proclaiming the fact that the
issues in the coming campaign would
be what the democrats had always
fought for, he said:
Il believe we can win victory. and
that we will win a victory. and democ-
racy will dominate in this country Tor
a century to come"
Mr. Bryan was introduced by Angus
tus Thomas, the playwright. who made
a speech on local self-government, and
gave as a party cry, Back to the Con-
stitution"

PHARMACY LAW.
Five Cases of Alleged Violation
Filed in Court.

FILED In court.
Violation Of the pharmacy law Is al
legged in five cases filed in the Police Court
today. Detective Vanzant appears in the
records as the prosecuting witness. 1t
ls understood. however. that other wit
nesses will be produced when the cases
are called for trial.
them are:
DR.. James Morgan Barber 91s E street,
prescribing preparations containing CO.
caine. morphine and opium to a person
who is an habitual user Of the drugs.
DR.. Fish Elgin, 1898 Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. prescribing preparations containing
cocaine to a person addicted to its use.
Marie KloczewskL proprietress Of a
drug store at 9th and e streets. selling
cocaine without q written prescription of
a licensed physician.
George w. Thomas, clerk in the store at
9th and e streets, same charge.
Arthur Welland. manager Of the store
at 9th and E streets, same charge.
When the defendants were arraigned In
the Police Court today each pleaded not
guilty and demanded jury trial.
The charges against the two physicians
are said to be unusual. The investiga-
lions which led to the filing of the
charges was begun by Detective Vanzant
when, 1t Is alleged. he discovered that
drug stores were filling large number
Of prescriptions for cocaine, morphine and
other drugs.
On account Of the large quantities OF
drugs prescribed, 1t is explained. the in
vestigation was started. The law pro-
hibits the giving of prescriptions for
physicians in question, 1t Is said, main
tain that the prescriptions they gave were
In the line Of their general practice. They
deny that they have violated the law.

Has Been Misquoted.
For Tariff Revision Now,

Running the whole gamut. Mr.. Bryan
spoke for tariff revision. not after the
next election, but now. He was glad
the President had taken up the ques-
ton. but he was sure the republicans
would never remedy the tariff evil. as,
after an election, 1t would be flying
in the face of the verdict Of the peo-
pie"
Next he spoke Of the necessity Of ar
duration in labor difficulties, and then

NEW LIGHTNING LORE

Fear of lightning received the heat

recently taken by Clark University
Yet an investigation lately made by
the weather bureau shows that an
average of only eight hundred Ameri-
cans are being killed by lightning Il
year. The average Yankees chnnc1
OF heing slain by thunderbolt this
summer Is. therefore, about one in
100000. He Is ten times more likely
TO be burned or Rcalded to death and
nearly four times more likely 10 be
shot to death.
Danger from lightning is largely a
matter OF locality. however. The
weather bureau has compiled n chart
OF thunderstorm frequencies. which
shows that the belt of most numer.
ous vlsltatIons includes all of Florida

lower edge OF Georgia and the south.
