Restoring DRUG
Victims TO HEALTH
DR.. Hancker Says Dope
FiendS" in State Are
Not Numerous
PRAISES THE NEW
HARRISON LAW

Dr. William II. Hancker. suporin-
tendent of the Delaware State Hos
pital for the Insane, at Farnhurst. un-
der whose care three people addicted
to the drug habit were treated re-
Gently, in speaking of the Harrison
Drug Act, says that under the new
law the drug traffic In this state viii
soon be wiped out Since the new
law went into effect. Dr. Hanckor
says several drug patients from down
State points were treated at Farm
hurst and all were dismissed as cured.
II was also learned that applications
had been received from drug victims
i'm this city had also applied az Farm
hurst for treatment but they were re-
fused admission, not being insane.
These are being treated by local ply
sicians.
Dr. Hancker stated that the proper
ton Of the drug evil in Delaware has
been greatly exaggerated. and he cX-
pressed the belief that there arc not
nearly as many dope" hends in the
bial' 40 has utNu ltINAANNs hN vi Nn
traffic and the number of drug users
Is something it is hard TO lay finger
on, and the hest evidence of the free
dom of Delaware from the evil is
shown by the very small percentage
of fends that have applied TO the hos
pitfalls and physicians for treatment
since the Harrison anti-narcotic law
became active When a slave TO drug
has become firmly addicted to the use
of a certain kind of drug and his sup
ply is suddenly shut off. there is
bound to be a reaction, in which the
victim becomes temporarily insane
and needs urgent medical attention.
As few of such cases have come to
light in this State. the only conclusion
to be drawn is that the number of
users Is small or else there is an un-
known source of supply which en-
ables the victims to continue their
doped existence.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April "a
A committee, representing about 25O
members of the Order of Sparta, yes
terday asked Common Pleas Court No.
5. here. that receiver be appointed
for the fraternity upon the ground
that it is "both decadent and insolv-
ent." and that "the only income the
order must depend upon is the assess
ments. constantly swelling in amount,
from "A dwindling membership
The complainants, all of whom have
belonged to the order for more than
twenty-five years. are J. r. Taylor,
Henry A. Newbold, David B. Hallinger
and David Baird, ex-sheriff of Camden
county, n. J. In the bill filed by
Emanuel Furth, as counsel. it is point
ed out that the assets of the order on
January 1915. amounted to 166,S9S.-
20. but this includes $107. 7.723.20 which
represents nothing except the privi-
lege of deducting this amount from
death benefit certificates when they
become due and payable after death
of the members, leaving actual net as
sets of $50 175.
Against this sum. il was further eX-
plained, there has accrued up to Janu-
airy / last a liability for prior deaths
amounting to s42.500 and a total in
surance liability outstanding of more
than $4,7OO.000 The only income the
order must depend upon for the pay
ment for this liability is the assess
ments complained Of
In January last, it is said the Great
Senate of the order directed that mem
bers of p or more years standing
should, after April p of this year. pay
an assessment in cash af Sl3.3S per
month; and upon the failure to pay same
should be suspended, and if they failed
TO pay the assessment after period of
30 days would be expelled from the or
ganization. This ruling, il was con
tended, was in violation of an agree
ment made in 1907, which provided that
the payment of assessments for death
benefits by members for a period of ~
years consecutively thereafter. should
exempt them from the payment of any
further assessments for death hcnciits
Il then was agreed the assessments
chargoable TO these members should be-
paid out Of a permanent fund"
II is said in the bill that the order
now consists of about 2OO0 members.
some 1900 of whom range in age from
so to S4 years, and notwithstanding
that the order pays TO the recon-
mender of new member IS more than
the order receives for admission into
membership, there were less than %
new members admitted during the en-
tire year OF 1914 The cOmplainants
said they have made repeated requests
to the executive officers of the order
10 obtain information of its present
financial condition; assert that it is
even worse than the charges now
being made. and that the only informa-
ton that they can obtain is the admis-
sion by the officers that the order is
busted and that there is no hope for
the future.
In addition to asking for the re-
ceiver. the Court also is requested to
enjoin the expelling of any member
who declines to pay the assessment
due on April 25. No date has been
fixed for a hearing.
