The misery and degradation, as well
as the plainly evident danger 10 the
community from the victims of this drug
habit. led The Tribune to follow UP It's
first investigation Of the most evident
and immediate sources Of the cocaine
supply-the street sellers-with an IN
auiry into the source from which these
deadly retailers got their supplies.
All the information pointed to the
fact that these drug dealers had pro-
tected themselves under the very law
which was aimed TO check their traf1ic
in vice. because that law provided that
possession Of cocaine in fake form was
legal If the drug possessor held a ply
sicians prescription. An upper West
Side doctor. without any noticeable
practice or other visible means Of sup
port. was maintaining himself In lux
ury because Of his ability TO sign those
necessary prescriptions, which fur

lay IN new legislation. and when the
facts gathered by The Tribune were

cocaine by cadets" and court records
showed that many of New York's most
brazenly active "gangmen' were con-
! firmed cocaine users.
Acting in concert with Assistant Dis

! Mr.. Whitman's staff, a bill was drafted
/ which aimed TO check up every grain
| Of cocaine manufactured or imported

be traced accurately by the health or
police authorities.
/ The bill made further provisions
which covered the possibility OF an I'M
/ principled physician or druggist. dent
/ ist or veterinarian seeking to mis-
handle this deadly drug under the
cloak Of alleged professional RESPONSE
bility, and was finally taken up by AS
semblyman James j. Walker, Of the 9TH
Assembly District, Manhattan.

Assembly on January 80 and the first
public hearing before the Assembly
Codes Committee came up on Febru-

trict Attorney Delehanty and Mr..
Walker made the main arguments for

COUNCIL WILL
D. K. CONTRACT
ORCITY PLANT
Nothing Can Intervene Now to
Block Approval of the $780,
900 Agreement. j

Chief among all matters coming
UP in the General Council Monday
is the crematory contract With the
June apportionment sheet carrying
the $26O.O0o crematory appropriation
out of the way, nothing can inter-
vene to prevent the Councils ap-
proving the contract
The contract like the budget win
go to the Mayor for approval or veto.
The first contract draft was unsat-
isfactory to Mayor Woodward, but
efforts have been made by the law
yers to make the second draft con-
form to his ideas.
This new crematory must be IN.
dependent of the first one, which was
held up by the courts" the Mayor
said. II am under injunction and
am going to steer shy of anything in
conflict with that court decision"
Councilman C. L. Ashleys segre-
cation ordinance, designed to prevent
negroes settling in white neighbor-
hoods, will be returned from the Po-
lice Committee with unanimous
recommendation for passage II
provides that the majority Of resi-
dents in any block may by petition
TO the Building Inspector declare the
block white or negro.
Councilman Ashley designedly
framed the measure to act with equal
rigor on white and negro commune
ties so the charge of race discrimina-
ton could not be invoked against its
constitutionality. It does not at
tempt to Danish negroes who already
have taken up their abode among
white neighbors, being intended sole
ly TO maintain the status quo and
prevent future negro aggression.
Licenses of the near beer saloons,
10 Of them, must be approved by the
Council Monday or the proprietors
must go out Of business July /. These
licenses were considered by the Po-
lice Committee Saturday. After near
ly two hours consideration, the COM
mittee decided to approve them.
Several applications for near-beeP
licenses outside the present zone were
received, but the committee declined
even to consider them.
Neither the Forsyth underpass nor
the projected bond issue is expected
to come up before the Council Both
subjects have been given to commit
tees composed of Aldermen, Council
men and citizens.
The underpass committee is watt
ing to hear from President John w,
Thomas of the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis Railroad, while
the bond investigating committee has
been unable to scare up a quorum.
A second attempt to get together will
be made Monday.
