BLAME PLACED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth of Drug Habit in United State,
Alleged to Be Due to Opiates
Ordered in Prescriptions.

That SO per cent. Of all the COCAINE
and morphine manufactured in THU
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi
clans prescriptions is the, startling
statement made by DR.. L. f. Keller
Chief of the Division Of Drugs, Depart
ment Of Agriculture. This statement
concerning the appalling growth OF
drug addiction in the United States,
was made by DR.. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study Of Alcohol and
Narcotics.
DR.. Keller Is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent. in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men were no discriminating
enough in their use Of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients, he
said, is creating thousands Of drug
users every year.
1T is a cry sad thing to say that
u physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor. estate
laws are not saving the public from
the grip Of the drug habit, and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss Of
the morphine and cocaine fiend.
The worst of it is that the impor.
tation of opium into the country is
becoming larger and larger year by
year. l have heard it said on reliable
authority that 90 per cent. of the Co
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is Used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc.
tors Prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb-
1er's address, DR.. J. A. Patterson, at
Grand Rapids, Michigan, in a public
statement said that 10 out of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.

Practically non Of Senator Bailey's

principle OF the initiative and referen-

as the initiative and referendum
would establish is in conflict with the
representative principle on which the
republic is founded"

and independence" declared Senator
Bailey, rejected a direct democracy

grip Of a terrific wind and rain storm,
which worked havoc with shipping
and cut OF the cities Of Norfolk and
Newport News. All land wires lead
ing out of the cities were destroyed.
Before the last two went down a tele-

that the waters of the James river
surged up into the lower parts of the
city with the violence of a small tidal
wave.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Writs of superse

ted States court Of appeals In the case
of thirty-two Of the thirty-three labor
leaders convicted of a dynamite plot
All will be released On bonds. That
Of Frank M. Ryan a placed at $7O..
600. The bonds were made on a basis
Of $4,000 for each year Of the term
to which the men had been SEN
fenced.
In fixing the bonds Judge Baker re-
viewed the evidence and the argu-
ments in the case and stated that the
bonds should be large enough to make
the persons furnishing them very
much concerned in getting the men
into court when they are wanted.
The charge is not one In which ex-
tradition may be resorted to, he said.
II the men should once get out OF the
country, he declared 1t doubtful II
they could be compelled to return or
IL the government could punish them.
Only thirty-two Of the thirty-three
committed men were specifically rep
resented, although all were mentioned
in the petition. Herbert s. Hockin Of
Indianapolis had expressed a willing
ness to serve his sentence and not
ask an appeal.
Attorneys for the 33 convicted labor
leaders at once took steps to provide
suitable bonds for their clients.
The bonds for the 80 e as fixed
by the court, aggregate $1,070.OO0.
Immediately following the decision
of the court of appeals the point was
raised by whom the bonds should be
approved. 1t was agreed by the court
the attorneys that Federal Judge
Anderson in the district court at In
d%.anapolis should be the judge to ap
prove the bonds.
