STOP COKE" CASES
FOR WANT OF LAW
Impossible to Require Chemical
Analysis Of Drug by Health
Official.

There Is no statue or ordinance
which can cornpei any official TO
make a chemical analysis of cocaine
that may be taken from persons sns=
pected of selling the drug. and as a
result there may be a sudden halt
in the prosecution OF at least two
negro women who are now suspected
of selling the poison.
DR. J. NJ Whitfield, chemist of
tho board of health. refused Satur-
day morning to make analyses of
three packages of cocaine taken
from Annie Hatcher, and. moreover,
told Justice Crutchfield who sent
the packages to him. that such a
duty did not officially belong to the
health department.. and that mas
much as the State auditor had de-
clined to pay bills for previous
analyses, and there was no such fund
set aside by the city, he would he
obliged to refuse the courts order to
make any kind of an analysis.
These packages were sent to me
this morning by YOU" explained DE-.
Whitfield. II requested at once to
be excused as there Is no remunera-
ton for the work. There IS no fund
out of which the fee for the analy-
made no appropriation. AS chemist
for the board of health, ] did such
work for long time, and when
the bill for services rendered was
presented to tho auditor. it was re-
fused upon the ground that there
was no such contingency expense ac-
ffkrwfsn has fatteti
to provide foi such an emergency"
Police Commissioner Gordon was in
court and said that he would per-
sonaily guarantee the payment of the
I fee for the making of the analyses.
He also told the court that he would
take the matter up Officially. in order
that a fund could be created for just
such cases The package Of cocaine
were thereupon turned over TO DIR,
Whitfield again, who VIII determine
whether or not the powder is the gem
uine deadly drug.
Commemorative Attorney Minetree
/ Folkes referred to the fact that the
Hartman act, which made the sale
of cocaine Il felony and not a misde-
meanor. had not provided for any
| analytical test. although the Legis-
lature had been asked to incorporate
such clause in the measure.
Or WhtttfeIf's position in court Sat
urday was one that was taken purely
| to bring the matter up officially and
to demonstrate that conviction could
not lie unless the coke" taken from
defendant was proved 10 be the
drug by a chemist.
Police Commissioner Gordon, pa
rentheffcaIIy. said that there was no
more reason for forcing the officials
or tf1gE ri Of Health n make an
analysis than It was TO compel a po-
liceman TO do duty at the fire sta
lions.
The charge against the negro wo-
man was continued until March 16,
along with the case against Annie Ma
son, another negro woman. against
whom the police think they have suf-
fcient evidence for a conviction. but
who Is now in the city jail.

SECRET ARY DICKINSON
TALKS RACE QUESTION
Holds Negro Problem More Seri-

NEW HAVEN, CONN. March g.
New Haven citizens are taking to
heart te-day. the views of Secretary
OF War Dickinson on the negro ques-
ton in the South expressed before
the annual banquet of the Yale
Southern Club last evening. His de-
claration that the negro question is
to-day more serious, generaiiy speak
ing, than was the slavery issue in
1861 was sufficiently radical to suit
even the ultra-radieals at the ban
quet.
las a result of the concurrent &C
ton of the North and the South, .
said Secretary Dickinson, we have
a condition arising from the civil
war which, under another form, is
Just as portentious as that of sia~~
cry. question which Will be worse
In its outcome unless we use more
wisdom and forbearance than we
did in dealing with slavery.
"As the slavery question became
more intense and acute, because the
slaves were confined to one section,
So the negro question Incomes mere
different because of the Overlooking
mass of negroes forced to remain in
the South"
