Or. BAXTER GUILTY.;
MAY GET A YEAR
Physician at Workhouse
Convicted as Trafficker in
Drugs with Prisoners.
CAUGHT IN TRAP
BY WOMAN SPY
He Was Remanded to the
Tombs Until July 8 for
Sentence.

DR.. Charles F. Baxter, resident
physician at the workhouse on Black
wells Island, until his arrest early this
month on a charge of selling drugs to
prisoners, was convicted yesterday in
Special Sessions. He was remanded TO
the Tombs without bail until July g.,
when he will be sentenced. The maxi
mum penalty is one year in prison and
a fine of $500.
Miss Susan Daniels obtained the evil
dence against Baxter. She was sem
fenced to the workhouse on May 26,
ostensibly on a charge of disorderly
conduct, to determine the truth Of the
rumors that had reached Commissioner
Davis that prisoners could buy drugs
from the prison dispensary.
Soon after arriving at the prison
Miss Daniels was sent to the hospital
for treatment, and she asked Baxter
for some morphine. She told him at
this time that she was not addicted to
the use of drugs, but on the following
day, as he was passing her bed, she
slipped a note into his hand informing
him that she had the morphine habit,
and asking for "one-eighth Of a grain
three times a day." Inside of the
note were two marked dollar bills, 1t
was said.
The next day, Baxter, while on his
morning rounds, threw small square
of gauze on her bed. The gauze, 1t is
alleged, contained some white powder
ard FIVE morphine tablets. That night
Baxter came TO her and asked how she
felt.
Miss Daniels replied that the drug

felt better. She said that he told
her that he intended to be away for
several days, but that she would be
taken care Of. On June l, when he
returned. Miss Daniels said she gave
him So in marked money for more
morphine.
In the effort TO disprove the evidence
presented by Assistant District Attor-
new Wilmot. the defence called Jennie
Hill, an alleged morphine user, who is
serving a term for disrderly conduct.
She testified that she was being perse-
cuted because she would not testify
against Baxter, and that she had given
the morphine to Miss Daniels. She SAID
that she had been promised reduction
of her sentence if she would TESTIFY
against Baxter and that she was kept
in a padded cell for five days when she
refused.
Mr.. Wilmot produced a letter she had
written to her mother asking for slZ;
The woman admitted that she wanted
the money for Baxter "as gift
At the same time that Miss Daniels
was committed to the prison Harry A.
Dittlebaum, chemist, was working in
the prison pharmacy as an investigator,
under the name of "Dr. Harris" DR.;
Elliot Katz, of the workhouse medical
staff, who assigned Miss Daniels to the
hospital ward, was also aware OF the
investigation, and aided by acting as an
intermediary between the Department
of Correct on and Miss Daniels.

SIR E. GREY LAUDS
PRESIDENT WILSON
British Foreign Secretary Says
Tolls Settlement Not Re-
suit of Bargain.

London, June 29.-The repeal of the
act exempting American coastwise
shipping from payment of tolls for
passage through the Panama Canal
was the subject of highly interesting
rortion OF a speech by Sir Edward
Grey. the British Foreign Secretary, in
the House of Commons to-day. Sir
Edward was replying after a general
debate on the appropriations for the
Foreign Office, and he paid high COM
pliments to President Wilson and the
motives underlying his action.
The Foreign Secretary remarked that
while a settlement had been reached
it had not been entirely free from mis-
representation which might have in II
the seed OF future mischief. He added:
at is due to the President of the
United States and to ourselves that
should so far as possible clear away
that instrumentation. IL was stated
in some quarters that the settlement
was the result of bargaining or diplo-
matte pressure. Since President Will
son came into Office no correspondence
has passed, and il ought to be realized
in the United States that any line
President Wilson has taken was not
because il was our line, but his own.
president Wilson's attitude was not
the result of any diplomatic communi-
cation since he has come into power
and il must have been the result Of
papers already published TO all the
world.
at has not been done TO please us
or in the interests of good relations
but believe from a much greater mo-
tive-the feeling that government
which is to use its influence among the
nations TO make relations better must
never when the occasion arises finch
or quail from interpreting treaty
lights in strictly fair spirit"

Fox Hills Golfers Angry with
Man Who Saws He Owns Land

Employees Of the Fox Hills Golf Club,
Of Stapleton. Staten Island, tore down
late last night the fence which Thomas
Hayes, of 225 West 126th ST., had had
built across the course the preceding
night. A force Of Hayes's employees
watched the proceedings, and reserves
from the Stapleton station were rushed
ever to prevent trouble.
Hayes claims ownership of six lots
of the Vanderbilt estate, leased to the
club for the last seven years for a
golf course, through deed which
dates back to 1909.
He had his men dig the holes for the
posts on Sunday. George W. SaAcke,
New York broker, noticing them, had
Hayes arrested for conducting work
on Sunday, and yesterday Magistrate
Marsh held him in $500 bail.
Hayes had a wagon driven across
one of the holes and left there. This
wagon also was removed.
