Victor MaIstroun drug store, 9th
and e streets, and DIR. IL. VI.
Moser, of the Jones building, Ell.
tered pleas of guilty in Judge
Clifford's court yesterday after
noon and were each fined $3.50
AID costs. Both men immediate.
ly paid over the fines.
DR.. Moser is alleged to have
signed his name to number of
blank prescriptions for cocaine
and other drugs, leaving them at
the Malstrom drug store. When
a cocaine user applied for dope, -
1t is said, his name was filled out
on one of the prescriptions, and
he was sold the drug. In this
way the druggist had a pres
scription blank for every sale of
drug.
The scheme failed when the
prosecutor took girl cocaine
fiend from the county Jail to
Malstrom's store. She pur-
chased cocaine, and when the
druggist was accused of selling
to her, he produced a prescrip-
tion slip, on which her name had
recently been written. :.
Following the fining yesterday
of the men, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Dow has issued a strict warn
ing to other druggists and ply
sicians to be mighty careful of
how they sell dope" or even
harsher measures will be taken
against them.
1t is understood that two Ia
coma drug stores have recently
shipped in Is ounces of NOR
phine, probably the most power
full form of dope" there is. Az
this is an extremely large amount,
far more than any druggist re-
quires in the ordinary course of
business, investigation will oe
made, and other arrests may fol-
low. u
There will be no leniency or
halfway measures with those
convicted of selling drugs illegal
ly, Mr.. Dow stated today. The
fines of $3.50, which Judge Cliff
ford imposed upon Stillwell and
Moser, are the stiffest ever given
here In case of this nature.

SLIGHT ERROR
.HALTS MAYOR
AND HIS BILL

H Because he found a technical
error in Mayor Fawcett's new
salary ordinance, in which the
city attorneys salary is reduced
from $4O0 10 $3.50 per month,
City Attorney stiles today caused
n delay of the ordinance and he
will continue to draw his $500
fer II more days.
The new ordinance repealed
certain former salary ordinances,
IT would have been passed on to
fhird reading today and gone inta
effect at once, but tSiles found
that II did not repeal certain
other ordinances. SO the old or
dinance was tabled today, and a
new one, with half dozen addi-
tional words, was given first
reading. The salary ordinance
will be passed next Wednesday,
and will go into effect 10 days
afterwards.

Joyriding in the city's antomo-
biles must cease.
Mayor Fawcett introduced an
ordinance at today's council meet
ing providing that city automo-
biles cannot be used for "any
purpose other than the business
of the city of Tacoma" and the
ordinance provides II 800 fine
or 3O-day jail sentence for any
city official violating IL.
The ordinance is regarded as
direct slap at Chief of Police
A. p. Loomis, who has used the
police touring car for riding to
and from his home, and for taxi
ing his wife ana family friends
out for rides.
II won't say that the ordinance
is aimed at any one individual"

said Mayor Fawcett In reply to
questions today. But I know
there has been ioyrlding with the
city's automobiles. and we can I
stand for anything like that.
Why, heard the other day OF
two pleasure trips taken to Se-
attic and back in city machine.
This ordinance merely pre-
vents any more of this joyridlng.
The city's automobile were
bought for city use, and not for
pleasure.
II was learned at the city hall
today that Chief LOOMS has
taken a street car to the central
station each day since Mayor
Fawcett took office, and that all
pleasure trips of the police auto
have suddenly been put to an
end.
