HABIT FORMED IN CELLS

Judge Edward Swami. an authority ON
laws regarding habit forming drugs, said
yesterday that. contrary to the general
belief the new amendment to the public
health laws. known as tho anti-nArcotic
drug act. does not provide that persons
arrested for its violation be confined
"separate and apart from other prisoners
while awaiting trial"
The new act does not even prov idc that
prisoners shall bc confined in that man
ner after conviction. Judge Swami says,
except certain class. of which. he pre-
diets. in the whole United States there
will not be twelve such convictions in a
year"
All prisoners In the city prison await
ing trial ar presumed to Ice innocent
until the contrary Is shown" he said.
and they are only detained for the pur-
pose OF making sure Of their presence at
the trial
THE statute does not provide that even
after conviction they shall bc confined
separate and apart from Other prisoners
except certain class. viz. tn hlbitutl
user Of the drug who has been so ad-
Judged by Magistrate and committed to
hospital for treatment and who. after
his commitment to the hospital. IN charged

provision is made that IL a physician,
dentist. veterinarian. pharmacist, or reg
istered nurse. is proved to be addicted
10 the use of any narcotic habit forming
drug his license shall be revoked
for one year and until he shall fully

The new law does not affect the exist
ing antl-cocainc law. but makes IL a
crime to possess Illegally or use choral
opium. or any of its salts alkaloids or
derivatives or any compound or prepara-
ton of any Of them which includes heroin.

Judge Swami says the public "a mis-
taken in the Interpretation of the law
because the act has not been printed in
book form and lacks any considerable
circulation.

in New York to-day.
MY mind is perfect blank" he said
tonight in response to a volley of ques-
lions regarding his plans. Don't ask
me any questions / don't know what |
shall do"
The America had a trial tonight. The
peculiar shaped propellers designed by
Prof. Olmstead OF Buffalo were on. but
neither Mr. Curtiss nor Lieut. Porte
thought they gave greater thrust than the
ordinary Curtiss propelers. They will be
tried again tomorrow. The tail OF the
seaplane was slightly damaged getting
her into the water to-day
The America made two flights this
morning laundering up and down the
lake forty feet above the water at 90
miles an hour by stop watch. Her total
weight was 4.232 pounds, including use
full load OF 1899. The air was s;ill and
the lake like glass.
Il. DOUGLASS Thomas. one OF the Amer
icas designers, stood in the cockpit with
stop watch and got the time in flights
between two points mile apart She
covered the mile in just sixty seconds,
running at four-hfths speed. and she
came or the water easily. The trials
were satisfactory
she planed at thirty miles an hour"
Lieut. Porte said. Il believe she would
fly with a load of 5000 pounds, for she
certainly has the power in the air. The
only trouble is getting her to plane on the
water. knowledge of aeroplaning is
nothing TO a knowledge OF water planning.
and 1t seems to me that We don't know
much about water planning"
No Scientific Data
All OF the experimenting with the
America has been TO get her TO plane
along tho water with a load. which she
must do before she actually gets into the
air. There is no scientific data on water
planning. and there are no experts TO whom
MI curtiss and Lieut.. Porte can turn
for advice. Such a great weight az the
America. nearly three tons. has never been
lifted from the water before.
The question has also been asked fire.
quently why the America has never had 1.
real flight She has never flown further
than two miles or higher than forty feet,
and she has never been in the air
longer than three minutes at single
jump. The main reason FOR this is that
Lake keuka is not more than mile
wide, with hills arising high on either side
1t is estimated that 1t will take more
than a mile to turn the America under
favorable conditions and here the wind
currents are treacherous. And, further
Mr.. Curtss has always maintained that
II a machine flies minute she will fly
until the motors stop. and that all the
effects Of dying can he had at a low
altitude
There is no question in the minds Of
her aviator and her builder but that the
America will ny all right with a heavy
load.
shes shear with load" George
Hallett said Tonight.
