TO CURE COCAINE CURSE
Congress Urged to Protect American
Homes.

~S''G 80 S1N ~ 'OA1&A - NNi
Homes.
Calling upon congress for a form
of tariff protection that will guard
all American homes from ravages of
the cocaine habit. thousands of med
zeal men, philanthropic workers and
the principal drug houses in this city
are today supporting the reeommen.
dation OF the American Health Lea
que for federal controlof the deadly
drug. Only by placing a prohibitory
duty upon the foreign cocaine with
whichwhich the Illegal distributors
are 10Y supplied in defiance of all
state laws can the growth of drug
dives throughout the country be
checked. the leaders of the movement
declare. From every section of the
land reports have been received to-
day showing that the people are ready
TO demand of their representatives, in
Washington this relief from the vice
and crime that is spreading uncheck-
ed with the free supply of cocaine
from abroad.
Only fifty per cent of the CO.
caine consumed in the United States
last year was devoted to legitimate
uses, experts are prepared TO show
congress. while the other half of the
total sales of this drug was coyertly
supplied to the dens of the dope
fiend' which are rapidly increasing.
While the American manufacturers
and wholesalers are refusing to
pander TO the increasing demands
of the Illicit cocaine distributors and
can be held accountable by state and
local authorities for their sales, and
solutely nc hold can DE taken on the
underground supply OF the drug from
abroad it is shown. Coca leaves from
which the drug victim may extract
a form of cocaine with which to
meet their craving are now free of
duty and easily available, it is also
pointed Il
Backed by philanthropiie organic
ations and individuals throughout the
country. the leaders of this movement
have already presented to the fin
ance committed Of the senate at Wash
ington the peoples claims for pro
lection against the inroads of the CO
caine curse. A prohibitory tariff of
$50 an ounce on the foreign supply
of the drug is being urged as well
as a duty of five cents a pound on
the coca leaves, which viii give Uncle
Sam a hold upon their distribution.
It is also proposed 10 place an inter
nal revenue tax upon this drug and
TO require its manufacturers to be
bonded and licensed by the govern
ment. The placing of a special rev.
enue stamp on every package of co
caine, with the record required to be
kept of its quantity and purchaser the
authorities declare, will result in the
speedy restriction of the Illegal traf-
fic in the drug.
That the senate leaders have up to
the time refused to consider their
claims. on the ground that they were
mot concerned with the nations NOR
ais" was asserted today by leaders
of this crusade against the cocaine
evil. When the people of every part
Of the country are alive to this
chance TO check the spreading drug
plague. however, every one of their
representatives at Washington will
be urged to its immediate consider
alton, il is believed.

TWO BULLDOGS
KILLED A COW
Chased Her Until Exhausted and Then
Inflicted Wounds Which
Caused Death.

MACOMB, Sept. 10.-Bull dog feroc-
ity in all its Unsuitable brutality was
exemplif1ed in it's worst phase, when
two bull dogs belonging to Chance
Gulich, of this city, attacked a COW
belonging to the Willis Inman dairy
farm, and as no one was near to IN.
terfere, chased her until she was ex-
hausted, and then hauling her to the
ground, vented their savagery to it's
fullest measure, death coming as re-
lief from the agony of the awful
wounds inflicted The dogs were
thought to be securely tied at his
home, but in some manner they had
gotten away and wandered to the In
man dairy farm, which is located
southwest of Macomb near the city
limits. They chased the cattle herd
over the pasture and it is supposed
the COW killed was the first to be-
come exhausted and was therefore the
victim of the bull dogs blood thirst.
The almost unbelievable strength of
the dogs was evidenced by the fact
that after downing the COW, which
was an extra large and strong one.
they dragged her over quite large
area of ground and finally, presumably
in an effort to hide the body, dragged
it to Kill Jordan.

it is the fault of the nerves

Three Tough Tramps Make Attempt
at Washington Street In
Burlington to Hold up
Rock Island
ONE FELLOW ARRESTED
Gag Did Not Work and Police Were
Notified-conductor and Fire
man Failed to Scare at
Threats.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Three tough
tramps attempted to hold up the con
ductor and the brakeman of the Rock
Island way freight at the foot OF
Washington street, last evening. They
approached Conductor Sanford as he
was about to enter the caboose, and
began operations by begging for a
quarter. The railroad man had no
quarters to throw away, and briefly
told them so, whereupon one of the
gang pulled revolver and pointed it
at the Conductor and ordered him to
give up. But Conductor Sanford had
sized UP the gang and came to the con-
clusion that there would be nothing
worse than the bluff. He laughed and
climbed into the caboose, walked
through the car, got off at the other
end and went in search of a.police-
man.
While he was out, the gang tried the
same game on Brakeman Saunders.
He also was familiar with the genus
hobo and did not scare worth a cent
and retained whatever cash he had in
his possession. And then the trio
made haste to disappear in the dark
ness
officers Harrison and Despair had
been notified, and while Officer Har-
rison worked northward, searching the
yards and investigating the interior OF
box cars, Officer Despair went south
and at Valley and Front streets he
found a man hiding behind a box car.
The stranger did not look good to him
and he was unable or unwilling to give
account of himself Despair ordered
the fellow to hold up his hands.
What for?' was the surly answer.
I'll show you in half second if you
don't put them up" Despair replied,
with wicked wiggle of his revolver
muzzle. Up went the hands of the
hobo, and Despair searched him.
finding tough-looking, long bladed
sheath knife on him.
The fellow was taken to the station
where he was inclined to be trouble
some, but was tanned in a very few
seconds and became quite meek and
humble Nothing was found upon him
and he was thrown into a cell for fu-
ture investigation. The search for the
other two was continued to late
hour but no trace of them could be DIS
covered. The prisoner at the station
was unarmed. If he had the gun he
managed to hide it before the officer
got his tracks.
The orders in regard to tramps and
suspicious strangers are pretty strict
and no doubt they will be enforced to
