SAYS HIS
BILL WILL STAND
CONTINUED from First Pagc)
looks on the proposed litigation as in
tended for purposes of delay.
President, Delays Signature.

Delay in the signing by President
Wilson OF the Kenyon bill, which was
expected today, has given rise TO nuner-
Gus rumOrs that the measure will be
vetoed and sent back to Congress to
be redrafted.
An eleventh hour discovery that the
bill contains a Joker" one rumor says,
has been made by the Department of
Justice.
At the department Of Justice the
statement was made that the bill was
sent 10 the White House in the routine
way Definite information concerning
whether the President would OF would
not sign the bill could not be obtained
at the Executive Offices Of the White
House this morning.
That a fight will he made on the val
idity Of the bill seems sure. Attorney
Robert ]. Miller, representing several
owners, has announced that he will con-
test the cOnsutuuOnality Of the meas
ure on the ground that 1t would dis
possess his clients without due process
Of law.
Attorney Miller declares that he has
been instructed TO carry the matter to
the Supreme Court Of the United States
Such litigation probably would last
over year. During this time the re-
sorts could continue operation.
That provision of the Kenyon law that
evidence of the general reputation Of
the place against which an Injunction
Is asked shall be admissible will be one
point Of the measure attacked, accord
ing 1" Attorney Miller.
Another object of attack. he saws. will
be the fact that the bill does not pro-
vide that the person asking for an in
Junction file a bond TO show good faith.
nAother point is that property rights
are to be affected without a trial by
jury, and, If contempt proceedings are
brought, both fine and Imprisonment
are possible.
More than loo inmates Of the red
light district have left Washington
since the bill passed Congress and many
more are preparing to leave, according
TO police estimates. Almost without
exception, these women have SIO0 each

Many of the women have hopes since

WORDING PRESCRIPTIONS.
Why Some Physicians Use Indecipher-
able RierogIyphics.

Everybody knows how hard the av-
erage physicians prescription is to
read. 1t is usually such an illegible
scrawl that one wonders how the
druggist is able to decipher it and
compound the right drug
The illegibility of prescriptions is
surprising in view of the fact that
physicians are educated men and
should be able to handle pen with
more facility than primary school
boy. So much depends, too, on the
proper compounding of a prescription
that one would suppose every physic-
ian would find some ways of making
his directions impossible to misunder-
stand
To add to tbs q fiIculty, the pre-
scription is usually scrawled in. Latin
and no two physicians use exactly
the same terms for expressing any
one idea.
1t has lately been suggested that
the doctors carelessness is not al
ways the reason why many prescrip-
tions are so hard to decipher and are
phrased in such cryptic terms.
writer in one of the drug trade
papers charges that there are un-
scrupulous physicians who purposely
make their prescriptions impossible
to be read by any one except some
favored druggist who shares his prof
its with them.
To turn as much business as posi-
BILE to q drug store in which he was
financially interested one physician
made a practice of giving. many pre-
sCriptions calling in Latin for twelve
ounces of water On the line below
he would write: "Decoque ad remain
entiam-6 ounces" This meant to
boil the decoction until half of it
had evaporated
If the patient took this prescription
to any other druggist than the ply
sician's confederate the senseless
boiling was usually ignored and he
got twelve ounces of water, or Some
other harmless liquid, instead of six.
This gave the physician the desired
TO suggest that his pet
apothecary was the only one likely
to fill his prescriptions properly.
There are numerous other methods
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-07-14

OF wording a prescription with such
unusual and entirely unnecessary
learning that only the elect can make
head or tail out OF it. This is an in
genious plan, for it attains the de-
sired end without violating the letter
OF the professions ethical laws.
Another ingenious scheme was de-
vised by physician who had built
up a good practice in a small town
and was anxious to turn all the bust
ress he could to a store which, al
though conducted in another's name,
he owned. In ali his prescriptions
he wrote the quantities in metric
units.
AS hi was the only drug store in
town at that time having metric
weights and measures he enjoyed a
corner" on every prescription until
his competitors awoke to what was
going on and provided themselves
with similar weights.-New York Am

EARNEST WORK

DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS
ALIKE ARE ANXIOUS TO COM.
PLETE TASK ON TRUST BILLS
As SPEEDILY AS POSSIBLE

Washington, d. c., July 13-The
senate will undertake trust legislation
in earnest this week. Democrats and
republicans alike are anxious to com.
piete their task as speedily as thor.
oueh consideration of the three pro
posed measures will permit.
Administration leaders have pre-
dicted it will take at least five or six
weeks to pass the bills. Republican
leaders declare it will require more
time If the measures are considered
separately. Some democrats also
hold this view and there is said to be
rapidly growing sentiment for con
solidating the bills.
1t is expected the interstate trade
commission bill, already before the
senate, will be disposed of first. The
Judiciary committee expects to re-
port the revised Clayton bill Tues
day or Wednesday and the interstate
commerce committee hopes to have
the railroad securities measure ready
by the same time.
Both Bills Altered.
Changes in hoth the Clayton oil
and the railroad securities measure

and conference action is in prospect

ARGUMENT ON GAMBLING LAW
Reasons Why It Should Not Be Re-
pealed Are Sent to Voters.

pealed Are Sent to Voters.
Oklahoma City, Okla, July 13.-
Under the law of Oklahoma, argl
ments are made for and against in
itiated and referred laws as they are
submitted to the people to be voted
on. At the coming August election
the voters will he called upon to de
eide whether or not they want the
anti-race track gambling law that was
passed by the 1913 legislature and
which has been suspended through
the referendum. The argument III ia
vor of the law was prepared by Caulp
bell Russell and Fred S. Caldwell
As it appears in the state pamphlet
that is being sent by the election
board to the voters the argument is
as follows:
Senate Bill No. so, passed by the
last legislature, IS an excellent ami.
race track gambling bill, the opera.
ton of which will abolish from the
state race track gambling and pool
selling or turf exchange nuisancos,
whereby races run out of the stare
are gambled upon. 1t IS a well
known fact that race track gambling
is one of the most seductive forms Of
gambling. In Oklahoma City alone
the defalcations of public officers and
private employees during the last
three years, which have heen directly
traced to race track gambling
amounts to more than seventy-6ve
thousand dollars ($15 100)
"The gamblers, and chiefly the race
track gamblers, financed this rccel en-
DUN petition No. ~, ar are now filr-
nishing the money for the ca.lpa!en
being made in support of this state
question No. 81, whereby they seek
to accomplish the repeal of this splen-
aid legislative enactment
This act was passed by decisive
majority vote in both houses of The
legislature and was signed by Gov
Cruce. Where are you going to stand
Mr.. Voter, for common decency and
the public welfare by upholding the
hands of Governor Cruce and the leg

and debased ideal which is one of
the principal causes contributing 10
the state of anarchy and depravity
now prevailing in the Republic of
Mexico, by casting your vote for the
gamblers?
"The gambler is to society what
the chinch bug and grasshopper are
to the growing grain-a parasite and
a leech. The gambler makes of
professional man a vagabond; Of
merchant, a bankrupt; of a public
employer or trusted employe a de-
faulter. He cares for nothing but
dirty gold. He produces nothing but
crime, depravity and degradation.
"The patriotic man, the self-re-
specting man, the home-loving man

bier, but will, in answer to state
