AGAIN THE COCAINE SELLERS.
Diaboiical Habit Spreading Among
Children.

1t is hard to conceive of a punish
ment adequate for such an offense as
that of selling cocaine to young boys.
The discovery yesterday of two young
sters in Westmount who peddled it in
small quantities to the unfortunate
children who have been taught to use
it, in order that some constituencies
dealer in drugs may make his 800
per cent. out of the stuff for which
they crave, has called public atten-
lion to the existence of this particu-
lar development of common vice,
but it adds nothing to the knowledge
already in the possession of the po-
lice.
Few people realize the extent to
which the use of such drugs as NOR
phine and cocaine has developed in
Montreal in the last dozen years, and
fewer still appreciate how largely it
is being spread through boys of from
u to IS learning from companions
the habit of ''snufing cocaine There
years ago the police broke up a sys-
tenn of dispensing the drugto seasoned
users in the public schools through its
sale in little shops, such as spring up
around every school house, but they
failed to cut to the roots OF the
traffic which is the only way which
can be expected to effectually repress
1.-THE sending to the penitentiary OF
any druggist directly or Indirectly
connected with the illicit sale of this
most dangerous and insidious OF
poisons. Since that time there have
been sporadic exposures of the traffic,
and an increasing number of heart
breaking discoveries in homes in all
sections OF the city that some boy.
in whom had been centred the hopes
and plans of the family, was a con-
frmed cocaine-user and fast on his
way to that moral, intellectual and
physical degeneracy which is the
final result OF the habit.
Teaching the cocaine habit to
boy is. in many cases, worse than
numbering him. Unless something
or someone checks him in the early
stages OF its use. it means the kill
ing of first his morals, then his mind
and then his body; it means that he
becomes a source of infection to his
companions and that the market,
by which the purveyor of the drug
makes his profits, is likely to develop
in many directions where he himself
would not dare to venture. Any
druggist who hands box of cocaine
without word to two 15-year-old
BOYS who ask for it is morally guilty
of whatever consequences follow the
sale. If our criminal code does not
impose a penalty equal to the meas
ure of such offending, there is moth
ing more urgently required at the
first possible opportunity than an
amendment which will cover this par
ticular crime. In the meantime, the
best that can be done will be to eX-
pose the offenders as far and as wide
" as possible and to impose such poor
penalties as are at the disposal of the
courts. Star.

COTTON MEN FACE PROBLEM.
New Bill of Lading Restrictions
IncOnVenient.

New Orleans, August 31.-With
the close of the season tonight
Southern cotton men are standing
face to face with what may prove
serious problem if they are forced 20
move the coming crop under condl-
tions which are radically different
from those which have prevailed in
the past.
This siuation was brought about by
the action of the British bankers IN
declaring that in the future American
banks will have to guarantee cotton
bills of lading before they Will be
honored across the water. This be-
ing impossible, conference of Amer
lean and British bankers has been
arraigned for early next week in Lon
don and the outcome of this confer
cree is now of paramount interest
in Southern cotton circles, sur
passing even the season-end statis-
tics.
Have Some Hope.
The hopes of the Southern cotton
men rest largely on the recent action
taken by the Southeastern Freight
association and the Southwestern
Tariff committee, representing rail-
roads covering the entire cotton belt.
These roads have agreed upon a bill
of lading certificate plan which the
cotton men believe should satisfy the
British bankers.
According to this plan, only all
original bill of lading is to be signed.
As many duplicates as necessary may
be made, but all these will be stamp
ed copy, not negotiable
The original bill is to be stamped
by the railroad at the time it is at
tached to the certificate bearing the
agents signature. The stamping IS
to be done in such manner that one
rart of the impression is shown on
the original bill and the remaining
part on the certificate.
Additional Safeguard.
AS an additional safesuard the
marks or labels an3 signs Of identl-
fcation on the co.son bales must be
written in ink. The bills of lading
must be issued in connective num-
bers and the certificates also must
be numbered consecuIively, SO that
in all cases the numbers will cor
respond.
Through bills of ladfng on export
shipments will be issued only from
concentrating points. No local agent
is allowed to issue through bill OF
lading. The cotton must go to con-
centrating point according to the rail-
road officials in order that the rail-
road can certify in the instrument
furnished the seller of the cotton that
the bales are in the railroads pos
session. Being in the warehouses OF
the railroads the cotton can con-
structively, be termed in the posses
sion of the railroad and certiication
may be made by the agent, his chief
clerk or the person duly authorized
to sign through bills of lading.

COMMERCIAL DUCKPIN
LEAGUE AVERAGES

BY some clever rolling last Tuesday
night the Woodward g. Lothrop team. lead
ers In the Commercial Duckpin League,
scored three victories over its nearest
competitors. the William Hahn aegrega-
ton. The victories in these three contests
made a gain in the percentage of the
Woodward & Lothrop team of seventeen
points. while it caused much damage to
the shoe dealers. The Washington To-

three to the Palais Royal five last Friday
night, is now but few points In the
rear of the Hahn team. The latter team
has 1857 for It's percentage, while the

unable to roll game equal to that of
its opponents last week, and lost three
more games. as stated above.

surance team continues to roll a strong
game. His three games against the
Parker-Bridget team last week were 1903,

DISTRICT DUCKPIN
LEAGUE AVERAGES

Monday night the Runners and Eu-
rekas begin the third series, all games to
be rolled at the Royal. As four of the
teams are punched and each has a look
in for first place. and as each team
has twenty-seven games yet to roll, all
on neutral alleys, renewed interest and
life should be a noticeable feature in
each of the remaining contests. 1t is
to be hoped that no team. no matter
what position they hold. will lose in
terest owing to their poor standing and
forfeit any of the remaining games, as
this undoubtedly gives some teams an ad-
vantage. So far this year the Resolutes
and Arlingtons have each had three
games forfeited to them. Throughout
the past week the boys showed poor
form in their rolling. Only seven games
out of the thirty-rolled were 500 or bet
ter. Michaud rolled the highest inui-
vidual set. a total Of $40. Pickett's was
next best with 1913. HALEY and Roberts
each had 327. The figures below do not
include the strikes and spares made
last week by Belmonts and Garrisons:

BY their consistent bowling the Giants

into consideration that the Shoemakers
and the Tigers have been doing the best

Helmerichs playing has been the stellar
feature of the majority of the leaders

proved himself to be an invaluable man.
In forty-two games he has spilled the
pins for an average OF 104-G,
leading his nearest competitors by three

The Tigers still have large margin of
two hundred and more points over its

Nationals outfit has the honor of rolling

this record he toppled 152 pins. The sec

Through it's continuous uphill fgh'

quint of the Colonial Bowling League
has lowered the big lead that the Pill
grims held in this league since the open

percentage OF .156, having won thirty
four games out of forty-five. This team

if it were going to make it run

and dropped game after game, until II

column and is being hard pressed for the

The Manhattan team has made II very
hard for the leaders, having done some
excellent pin topping during the past
six weeks and jumped from fourth posi-
ton to second place by winning seven

night and won every one by large scores.

against the leaders when it meets
lead the league. With Knox. Jacobsen,
Ricketts, and Hammer bowling in their
good form it will certainly land the
position for which 1t seeks.
The Pioneers. champions of last year
and who are now occupying. third place,
will have to show a vast Improvement
over their recent bowling la order to
keep pace with the two leading teams.
The Iroquois quint, which up to December
- had only won one game. has also
shown a good Improvement in its team
work by landing ten games out of
twenty-four. but still remains in the cell
lar position.
In the team average the Pilgrims again
