Draft OF BiIi Prepared.

II WAS said yesterday that Charles y.
Towns. who cooperated with State Sena-
tor Boylan In drawing w tho bill and is
an authority on drugs. has made a first
draft OF a new measure which may be
available. II Is planned to learn from
various state and city authorities the
country over what elements, In their judg-
ment. should be included In a Federal law.
Both Judge Swami and Mr.. Coulter
agreed yesterday that the new Boylan law
has worked we'll so far. They particu-
larly commended the activities of the drug
squad under Lieut. Costigan at Police
Headquarters The real difficulty APP
peared to be the ease with which drugs
seem to be obtainsble In Jersey and Con-
necticut.
To accommodate those who may he COM
mitted under the new law fifty beds were
get aside in Bellevue Hospital for pro-
longed treatment OF drug victing, which
does not include the twenty five beds in
Bellevue and the fifty in the hispitals on
Blackwelis Island which can be used for
two weeks treatment Yesterday Mr.
Coulter sent letters TO the Board of Alder
men asking an appropriation Of 100000
to make the farm for inebriates which
the city owns in Orange county near
Warwick Immediately available.
II was pointed out yesterday that gen.
eral legislation Ia the only way TO combat
the drug evil Mr.. Coulter said his in
vestigations had shown that OF $4,000
pounds of opium brought into this country
yearly fully so per cent. is used Height
mately Judge Swami has been informed
that while the Federal regulations hem
in opium with multitude of restrictions
/ the Importation of cocaine is practically
| unrestricted. except by duty. In other
words, Judge Swami has been Informed
/ that any quantity of cocaine can be
brought in without question as to Its in

pare the Way Toward
Federal Legislation.

Those who backed tho Boylan drug
law, which became effective July |. will
start in the fall national movement with
view to Federal legislation restricting
the sale and use OF habit forming drugs.
This was announced yesterday following
a conference between Judge Edward
Swami OF General Sessions Court and
Ernest X. Coulter.
The general plan Is TO work in coopera-
ton with boards OF health and anti-drug
societies in various parts OF the country.
The ultimate purpose Ia to obtain the pas
sage OF a national law which will follow
the outlines of the Boylan bill and enable
the authorities to trace habit forming
drugs from the place OF their manufac
ture to their ultimate consumers.
There Is at present a bill before Con-
gress. the Harrison bill. which aims to
regulate the sale of opium. cocaine and
heroin. Amendments. largely excepting
physicians. druggists and veterinarians
from the provisions Of the act, have de-
stroyed the bills usefulness, In the opn-
ion OF those interested in the movement.
Experience In New York has been that
physicians were the most dangerous dis
pensers OF drugs
