NEW YORK POLICE HEAD URGES
HOME PROTECTION AGAINSr
COCAINE.
American Health League Drug
Plague Spreading.

NEW YORK, June 24.-Declaring
that all the police heads of the coun-
try would be greatly helped if prac
tically prohibitive tariff was placed
on foreign cocaine and internal reve-
nue. restrictions on the domestic sup
ply of the deadly drug, Theodore A.
Bingham, police commissioner of this
CITY has today written Senator Add ich
urging that congress give this protec-
ton to all American homes. The
spread Of the cocaine craze in New
York city has become widespread
and insidious," General Bingham
points out, and already his department
has listed sixty-three drug stores as
suspected of extensive illicit sales -
victims of this drug. If this national
evil is to be checked, it is the opin-
ion of the police head here, congress
must at once follow the recommend
alton of the American Health League
and shut off by a tariff tax the secret
sources Of supply from abroad by
which unprincipled dispensers are at
present able to evade all local laws
and circulate cocaine to rapidly wild
ening circles of drug fiends.
With this plea from New York )
police head, many similar communica
lions from local authorities who must
also fight the cocaine curse are being
received today by the chairman of the
senate finance committee. Philsn-
thropic, medical and charitable organ
izations throughout the country are
Joining the American Health League
to urge that this vital opportunity tn
guard the physical and moral welfare
of every community in the land be-
not neglected by their representative
at Washington. The leaders of this
new movement are asking every GIFT
zen who would protect his home town
from the drug plague to write II
Senator Lodge, who is today calling
the matter to the attention OF inc
Senate.
Startling evidence of the grip which
the cocaine habit has taken upon com
munities in every section of the con
tinent has today been presented u
congress. II is estimated that some
$780, 900 ounces of the powerful drug
were consumed last year in this coun-
try, considerably more than half Of
which is known TO have gone to meet
the cravings of the victims of its dead
1y habit. Though its use is usually
more or less confined to the lower
and more vicious classes, it is record
ed that school children hava been

NOT EASY SAILING.

Granting that we could find a num-
Der of public spirited land holders in
this section who would be willing to
put in enough lands to make a big i'm
migration movement a success, we
would only have overcome the first
difficulty, and not the smallest one
by any means. We would then have
TO begin systematic campaign of
advertising which will take some time
to bring results, for we will have to
convince thousands of people on many
points about tbs country which they
have been Misinformed about. We
have no comprehensive literature
about this section because We have
no data in the proper fern TO pre-
sent to prospective homeseekers, for
we must bear in mind that when we
begin to offer inducements they must
be of such character that Wnen nome
seekers do come. they will find things
Just as we represent them. We know
in a general way what the country
will do but we do not know all that it
is capable of producing and will not
know until we have a greater popula-
ton. With the present chaotic con-
dition of things in this section there
is no practical knowledge of the diff
ferent tracts Of lands and there is no
land holder prepared to say what a
particular garter section is like or
how a man could find it in the oest
way. This is difficulty which does
not confront the real estate men in a
prairie country, but which will be
serious obstacle to be overcome In The
