BLAME PLAC ED ON PHYSICIANS
Growth Of Drug Habit In United States
Alleged to BE Due to 0piates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That 80 per cent. OF all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured In this
country is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. L. F. Kebler,
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.
Or. Kebler 10 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 not discriminating
enough in their use Of opiates. Their
0verindulgence to their patients, he
said. Ii creating thousands Of drug
users every year.
TT is a very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use OF cocaine
and morphine said the doctor. State
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. have heard It said on reliable
authority that SO 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-
Ier's address, DR.. ]. 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.

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer unearthed In Samoa and
Hawaii, BY an Admirer.

It is learned that a number Of new
and relatively important manuscripts
Of Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer Of the great
novelist. who has been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings Of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session Of some Of the many friends
Of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result Of this research has been
the finding Of an essay. said to be
highly poetical in character. written
by the novelist after witnessing vol
cano in action. supposedly either the
famed crater Of Savan or the pit of
Kilauea in Hawaii; piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life, and q
number Of smaller verse compositions.
Still another manuscript, q blank
verse relation Of a well-known legend
Of Maui, OF considerable length, but
unfinished, has also come to light. and
the enthusiastic admirer Of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
Of effort.

Western Facade OF the Famous Cathe-

glare OF the Spanish sunlight, 1t is
marvellous how beautiful is the inte-
rior as it comes streaming through
T50 varicolored windows. The pave
ment is OF variegatetd marble and
around the walls are twenty-three
elaborate chapels.
The greatest artists Of Spain la

that it excites the visitors enthusi-
asm. The choir, for example, Is
decorated with probably the most
elaborate wood carving in the world
Around pavement OF white marble
rise, on three sides. two rows Of seats
for the priests, one above the other.
Their arms, back, feet, headpieces
and ratings are exquisitely carved
into sacred, grotesQue, NEUROLOGICAL
or historical subjects in basrelief.
Ones first impression on entering
the cathedral Is most vivid and inn
posing. Five naves divide the church.
The middle one is Of great height.
and the others beside it seem to bow
their heads and kneel in token OF adj

which is a very rare virtue In Gothic

to the other, with the exception Of q
few arrangements Of the chapels,
which, however, do not interfere with
the harmony Of the general effect.

SAYS HE IS SANE
Millionaire Wants to Control
His Property.
Escaped Asylum IL Years Ago
No Fly Swatter.

New York June John Arm
strong Chaloner, brother of Sheriff
Bob" Chanler, has been offered the
chance to come back to New York
state and prove that he is sane. If
he can do this, his New York con-
servator says, he may have control
over his check book and 81, 900
estate.
ChaIoner was committed by his
relatives to Bloomingdale asylum 16
years ago and confined for four years
in the insane hospital. He managed
to escape and get out of New York.
He fled to his Virginia farm and was
declared sane by jury in that state.
He changed the spelling of his name
and since that time he has kept out
of New York state, contenting himself
with drawing as much money from
his New York property as Thomas T.
Sherman, his committee, was permit
ted by the court to give him. This
amount is $1,000 a year. In an ap-
plication filed today in the supreme
court Chaloner asked for additional
allowance of $4,000 a year. And in
the papers submitted is an affidavit
by Mr.. Sherman declaring that if Mr..
Chaloner will leave his estate at
Merry Mills, Va, come to- New York
and show his capability of managing
his property, his committee Will not
oppose his application or attempt to
prove his insanity.
1t is said Sherman is acting with
the consent of the various members
of the Chanler family.
Chaloner alleges in his application
that he wants his yearly allowance in
creased to supply funds for certain
reforms he wishes to bring about in
the lunacy laws of New York. He has
written a book called "Four Years Be
hind the Bars of Bloomingdale'' to
prove his contention that the lunacy
laws permit frauds on sane persons.
This work and volume of poems en-
titled '-Scorpis'' were submitted to
.
of the writer. One of the poems in
the latter volume reads as follows:
THE THREE FLIES.
Sprightly companions o my dungeon
Who'd ever think a man could like
fly?
But wait until you've got caught in
such a hell
In which I've watched the months
and years roll by.
The three flies do frequently visit me
Within the confines of my COUGHS
Time treats the little rascals tenderly
At their antics-'pon my soul, I'm
laughing yet.
They're married now and lead lives
Clean, wholesome lives. as whole
some beings should,
Which proves that you can civilize a
brute.
They'd buz what I says true, if but
that they could.
Long life to the three little flies"

MUST STAND TRIAL.
Porter Charlton Surrendered to Italy
on Murder Charge.

Washington, June 1O-Porter
Charlton must return to Italy to an
swer the charge of having murdered
his wife in June, 1910, at Lake Como
The supreme court so decided today.
Washington, June 10.-After discuss
ing the insanity plea, Justice Lur-
ton took up the main point in the case,
whether under the treaty of 1873. an
American citizen could be extradited
to Italy for crime committed there,
particularly since Italy will not extra
dite its subjects for crimes here.
Justice Lurton pointed out that
crimes committed in Italy were not
'justiciable in the United States, SO if
extradition were not granted the crimi-
mails would go unpublished. Crimes COM
mitted in the United States, he added,
were justiciable in Italy According to
International law he held the treaty
by reason of Itafy's course had not be-
come void but merely voidable at the
option of the American government.
The executive department having waiv-
ed its right to annuI the treaty. the
Justice concluded, nothing remained for
the court tc do but to enforce it's de-
cision. Charlton has been a prisoner in
the Hudson county, n. J., Jail nearly
three years, while the writ for his ex-
tradition has been general. The SUI
preme courts decision today affirms
the action of former Secretary Knox

HUERTA Will NOT GO.
Regrets Inability to Fight-WilI Get
American Recognition.

Mexico City, June 10.-In an exclusive
interview President Huerta said he
would not be able to go to the front
personally as was reported and as he
longed to do.
He said he expected to have recogni-
ton from the United States govern
ment very soon, giving his reason
for this belief the fact that he had re-
ceived a letter of cOngratulatiOn from
Ambassador Wilson as soon as he had
assumed office. His plan at present, he
said was to concentrate large forces
against Zapata in Morelos and so end
the revolution there. He thought 5000
men would be enough to suppress the
northern rebellion.
When asked if he did not consider
the northern rebellion more important
than that in the south, he said he
believed his best plan was to end the
one in the south first and he was go
ing to hold a council of war at once
to decide the best way of doing so
quickly.
Among those summoned to the coun-
Gil were Mondragon. Felix Diaz and

General AlVirz, Generals Ruelas and
