DOPE USERS SEEK
CURE AT BLOCKLEY
Thirteen Men and Two Women
Addicted to Cocaine and
Heroin Enter Hospital.

Thirteen men and two women, driven to
seek n cure for the drug habit by the en-
forcement Of the Harrison drug act
which cut off their supply of cocaine and
| heroin, found their way during the night
| to the new drug ward, opened Monday
at BlocIilcy to care for such cases. To-
! day there are 2S men and two women in
the drug ward, tho largest number ever
assembled to take a drug cure at Phila-
dolphla Hospital Most of the victims
were sent to Blockley by Lieutenant
Smiley, Of the Ilth and Winter streets
station in the heart Of the Tenderloin
and the haven of the drug users Since
the drug prohibition went on they have
gone to tho police station in n state OF
pitiable nervousness and begged to be
sent 10 the cure, a part of which is the
administration of diminishing quantities
of cocaine. The sudden stoppagc of the
supply of drugs would be fatal to many
of the habitual "cokers' in the Tender
lOin, they say.
During the early evening five men and
Il woman called at the 18th and Winter
streets station to ask to be allowed to
take the cure. The woman was Annie
Norton, g years old, of 1913 Palmer street.
She had been living in the Tenderloin two
years, she said and took to using drugs
after her husband divorced her and her
only child died.
All those who appeared before Lieuten-
ant Smiley last night said that the Har-
rison act had put the price Of the availa-
bic supply OF drug TO prohibtive heights
and that only persons with money could
buy 1t now. Therefore, they said, the best
thing they could do was to try the Block
ley cure.
Lieutenant Smiley summoned the dis
triCt surgeon DR.. John Egan, who has
been called in to examine drug users since
the Harrison act drove them to seek the
cure DR.. Egan certified that those who
applied at the police station were ad-
dicted to drugs and then produced affi-
davits, which all were required to sign.
These set forth that the signers bound
themselves to remain at Blockley as long
as it was necessary to effect cure.
They signed willingly, though with
shaking fingers, and this morning were
taken to the drug ward. The five men,
the first to apply last night, were Will
liam Meade, 433 North 7th street; Walter
Harris, 92l South 18th street; John
O'Toole, 30 North 9th street; Harry
Bishop, sos Race street, and James Will
liams, 2lI North 9Th street

from the battle front.

husband OF a daughter of NJ. II. Killgal-

her by a series of sensational exploits in

with the fathers dictum. De Beaufort

mills of this city and Chicago by day,
nothing more than a labOrer, and moved

Nearly every Sunday editor in the
country, used pictures of the Count at
one time or another. showing him In
various poses indicating hard labor, al
ways in oyeralls and jumper and always
with a few lines about the romantic
reason for the Counts hard work; his
desire to win the daughter OF the steel

WONDERFUL WAR PICTURES
Evening Ledger's "Movies" Coming to
the Forrest Theatre.

Beginning with next Monday afternoon,
the Forrest Theatre will show the most
remarkable war pictures ever exhibited.
They were taken on the battlefelds of
Europe and have just arrlved-pictures of
bloody carnage-pictures of daring deeds
and brave men.
These moving pictures excel anything
ever before shown to the public. They
breathe the spirit of war: they are the
incarnation of the antlthesis of clvliza-
ton Vividly they portray charges into
the whitening fire of the enemy; wonder
fully they show the stupendous conflict
now raging in Europe.
The shrapnel bursts; there is an
armored train in action; II of Germany's
great 42-centtmetre guns are spewing
forth their hail of death; the trenches are
shown; there is charge of 800 and only
30 return! 1t is the last word in moving
pictures.
The pictures which will be shown every
afternoon at 2 and $3.50 o'clock and every
evening at s and $3.50, viii be brought to
this city by the EVENING LEDGER.
