DRUG F|ENDS ARE
STARTED EARLY
Many Acquire Habit in Cradle
from Certain collie Cures
and Infants Friends.

Washington, May From l.n-0,hD to
i,ro. no persons in the United States are
addicted To- drugs.
So states AN interesting and valuable
pamphlet Just issued 10y tho bureau of
chemistry of tho United States depart
mcmt of agriculture. The pamphlet is
entitled "Hlbit-forming Arents; Their
Ind!s riniuate sale and Use a Menace
to the Public Welfare" 1t is written by
l.. r. Kohor. chief OF division Of drugs
Of the bureau. He contends strongly that
many babies in their cradles contract drug
habits through the administration to them
Of certain so called BABY syrups,"
soothing sYrul,s.' "colic cures" and
"irfauts friends
These Immensely harmful soothers con-
tain opium, morphine. heroin, a deriva-
tive Of morphine. chlorofrou or choral
in some combination. Mr. Kohler writes
Mothers believe that these soothing
remedies are neither harmful nor habit
forming. and therefore give them with
a certain feeling of security. with the
result that in some Instances the baby
is put to sleep never to awake again.
Numerous cases Of this character are on
record.
TN some instances, in which the REM
cdy is free used and the child does
not succumb, there Is DEVELOPED 1t case
of infant drug addiction. AS soon as the
effects OF one dose pass away the child
becomes irritable and rretful, with tho
result that another dose is administered
tho craving is met and the child .s qvieted
a condition which Is analogous IN every
respect to drug addiction among adults
Sometimes these children look plump and
healthy, but as a matter of fact their
flesh is soft and Nabby and they with
stand attacks of illness very poorly"
The writer devoteS much attention tn
| soft drinks and to alleged remedies
for asthma and catarrh which contain
rcocaiue and such drugs. lie adds:
with the exploiting and advertising o.
medicines containing habit forming
agents il is but natural to expect that
drug addiction would result. 1t Is only
surprising that the number OF cases is
not greater. The reasons for this prob
/ ably are. First, that the average iudi-
/ Nidual is Mortified 10 think of becoming

INSURGENTS HAVE
THE BILL BEATEN
Practically Nothing of Taft 5
Railroad Legislation Will Sur
vive Attack in Senate.

Washington, May 3.-President Taft's
railroad legislation will he enasculatcd.
At the close of a protracted conference
of leading regular republican senators
last night, It was apparent that the re-
volt Of the Senate insurgents ad been
virtually successful and that the sections
OF the bill relative TO traffic agreements
and mergers, which Senator Cummins
and other insurgents have been fighting
to amend. will be abandoned
Practically nothing distinctive Of the
original bill will remain. save the sec
tons providing for the creation of a
court Of commerce Even that has had a
perilous time in the House and nobody
tonight is prepared to guarantee that IL
will be enacted
In fact the differences between tho Sem
ate and House are so great that in view
OF the radical action decided unon by
senate leaders last night, it would sur
prise nobody II the entire bill should
fail in conference
So serious became the situation n,
the bill late yesterday that President
Taft himself, at Pittsburg was ad .
vised of the situation over the long
Instance telephone by Senator Aldrich.
Upon the insurgents the adminis-
tration Will endeavor to place the re-
sponsibility for the failure of the
tart railroad legislation To Senator
Aldrfch over the telephone Mr.. Taft
Is SAID to have expressed himself en-
phatically 10 this effect: That he had
initiated the pending measure and had
advocated 1t in the form IN which IT
was reported to the Senate and that
II combination of nsurgent repub-
Leans and democrats rendered II I'M
possible for tho republican majority
to enact the bill. then he felt that the

GREAT OVATION At THE END


In Tho last stages Of his walk into New
York he WAS the object of an ovation
such as has rarely been accorded 20 any In
dividual short of a victorious admiral or
the colonel of "A r.ongh Riders regiment.
From 72nd street down. Broadway from
curb to curb was black with moving
thousands intent upon keeping sight or
the white haired little man amblng along
in his peculiar jerky gait. From Workers
where no had spent Sunday. to the upper
residential section of Manhattan, which
reached at time when most of the pop.
ulation had departed Tor tho days work,
his progress was pathetically unspectacu-
lar. A handful of boys preceded and fol
lowed him with two mounted policemen
md the official automobile with news
paper men bringing up the roar. Here
and there small groups paused to observe
him curiously and women and children
waved encoura cement as he passed.
At l6Sth street. opposite tho American
league base ball pnrh, he received the frs;
concerted cheer of the morning and his
eyes spanked with appreciation. Even
! here. however, his escort was less than q
hundred But 1t grew to twice that num-
Der by the time 125th street was reached
and when the stop for luncheon wa
made a, the Ansonia Hotel at 13rd street
some go had assembled TO watch the
doughty old walker go by.
This early Indifference was more than
made up in the afternoon, however, when
Weston began his walk towards the city
hall.
