NEW ANTI dope" LAW
IS IN EFFECT TODAY
More Than Three Thousand Regis.
trations in District of
Columbia.
List Of Prescribed Drugs Not Yet
Complete, But VIII Be
Long One.

Under the provisions Of tho new anti
narcotic law. which went into effect
throughout the United States today. only
certain well defined classes of persons
will be permitted to sell or prescribe mar
cotics Of all kinds. including opium, NOR
phine. cocaine and compounds contain
ing these ingredients. Those who may
legally prescribe or dispense narcotics or
compounds containing them include physi-
clans, dentists, retail and wholesale drug
gists, veterinarians, osteopaths and per-
sons in a few other kindred occupations.
Persons permitted by the new law to
prescribe or sell narcotics are required
to register their names and addresses
The total registration in tho District OF
Columbia up to today was s,o5s individu-
ais and concerns!
$4,000 Stamps Issued.
Approximately $4,000 license tax
stamps have been sent to the collectors
of internal revenue in the sixty-three
collection districts Of the United States,
this number being supposed to repre-
sent the prospective actual registra-
tion. with small reserve stock.
Some physicians are inquiring of tho
administrators of the anti-narcotic law
what amount Of dope" they can dis
pense at one time to one Individual and
be clear of suspicion of their purposes
One inquirer told of "dope-fiend,' u
patient, and asked II he might issue
to him a prescription for 500 one
fourth grain tablets of cocaine. In view
of the fact that this Is a quantity that
should last the average drug-habit VIC
tim a couple of months. 1t is pointed
out the possession of 1t would be apt to
excite suspicion. And, If charged with
offending under the law, it would be up
to the defendant to prove that he did
not have the drug in his possession for
unlawful purposes.
List Is Long One.
Although the internal revenue bu-
reau has not yet been able to compile a
list of the drugs and preparations
which are under the ban of the anti
narcotic law. 1t is estimated that there
are more than 1000 different prepara-
tions. Drug manufacturers have been
called upon to submit lists of prepara-
tions made by them which contain
opium or coca leaves, their salts. de-
rivatives or preparations.
Cocaine. morphine, opium. heroin and
codein in various forms are the most
important general forms of the banned
narcotics: but there are many compo-
remedies or specific "dopes" for the
fend. that come under the inventory.
And such we'll known domestic reme-
dies as Dover powders phenacetine
paregoric and many headache cures are
blacklisted.

CHICAGO, March Wheat prices
made sensational downward plunge
today as a result of news that fifteen
miles of the Dardanelles had already
been forced. and that apparently the
release of vast stores of Russian grain
was only a question of short time
possibly not more than fortnight. Nc
attention was given to the fact that
the Liverpool market showed an ad-

DAC|A'S CASE BEFORE
FRENCH PRIZE COURTS
United States to Enter Protest if
Validity Of Flag Transfer Is
Not Recognized.

Question Of the validity of transfer
Of flag after the outbreak Of hostilities
IL now before the prize courts of France
for adjudication as result of the
seizure of the American steamer Dacia,
formerly a Hamburg American liner,
by French cruiser. which took the
Dacia to Brest-
No move will be made by the United
States government until the French
prize courts render a decision. If this
fails to recognize the validity of the
transfer. a protest will be entered.
Differences Of View.
Whereas the practice of England. it
has been contended by officials of the
American government, conforms pretty
much to the doctrines of the United
States. many transfers having been
recognized in the past. the claim has
been set up in various quarters during
the present war that France has ira
ditional and unalterable opposition to
any transfers of registry whatsoever
during war.
Officials of the State Department and
senators who have argued the point
in Congress have pointed out however
that, while this doctrine has been pro
claimed by France since the time of
Louis XVI. the practice of the French
admiralty has been different, and that
in many cases France actually has
acquiesced in the right of a vessel to
change its registry after the outbreak
of hostilities
The steamship Brindilla. which trans
ferred from German to American reg
istry. recently was taken to a French
port and subsequently released. In this
case the ownership of the vessel was
continuously American, and Great Brit
ain had already announced that such
transfers would not be questioned.
Declaration Of United States.
When cases arose between the United
States and France in 1856 che Wash
ington government. controverting the
statement that a traditional French
doctrine prevented her from recogniz-
ing transfers Of flag, said in its diplo-
matte correspondence with the Ameri-
can minister at Paris:
However long may be the period
during which this doctrine has formed
part of the municipal code of France,
1t is manifestly not in harmony with
her maritime policy, and it is con-
hdently believed by this government
that France will not assert it. not only
against the practice of other nations,
but against the authority of her most
enlightened writer's on public law

THE ARREST OF HUERTA.

Suppose the Governor OF Texas were
to issue papers for the delivery OF
Huerta to the Villa aEentse Huerta
is at present on bail in United states
court He is in charge of Federal
officers. II an arrangement were to be
made. however, by which the Federal
authorities would turn Huerta over to
State officers and these surrender him
20 villa. would not such action be
equivalent 10 recognition OF Villa by
the United States? IL the State De-
partment were itself to surrender him,
that would be an Official recognition
beyond doubt. But suppose this gov
eminent does not recognize the re-
quest Of Villa on the ground that ne
Is not the proper authority. Would
that not be an indirect recognition of
Carranza? And being bound by a
treaty vita Mexico, can we refuse to
fulfill our treaty with some represen-
tative Of that country?
Huerta refuses to eliminate himself
as possible source of trouble, and
there is great difficulty in eliminating
him.
