needs and capacity for the drugs OF
the habitues.
When the witness was turned over
to Attorneys Mann and Smith, repre-
sentfng the government. they tried to
show that the physician was not fol-
lowing the established methods Of his
profession. Judge Waddill also ques-
toned the witness. asking him II he
did not think it strange that having
had. as he had testified, little prac-
ticer from drug habitues before the
Harrison act went into effect. that he
had issued as many as 735 prescrip-
tions, each for large quantities Of the
drug. to about sixtv-eight patients
in the past six months
The accused physician replied that
he thought it his duty as physician
and his right In the law to write the
prescriptions he had given. DIR. Cor
don took the stand Immediately at
ter DR.. Brooker vacated II.
DIR. Ezekiel on Stand.
Following the testimony OF DR. Cor

drug s1abitues at the City Home. told
the jury that he had a method by
which he could cure the drug habit
in three days He said t.lat he be-
gan to cut in half the supply of the
drug on the second day and no drug
would be allowed the patient on the
third day. He said this was. in his
estima ton, the best meHnod of curing
the habit.
He was put on the stand. along
with other witnesses, to rebut state
ments made by witnesses for the de-
Tense to the effect that The habitue
could be cured only by prescribing
the drug for some time. Dr. Bryce
testified as to other methods OF cur

'NOTH|Ne DEFINITE

Some Announcement viii Ne Made
Tomorrow When o. j. Sands

BIG DEAL is PENDING
Owners Of Fhmous Old Trcdcgar
Works Arc Reticcnt-WiIl Mean
Much to Richmond, 1t Is Believed.
III Schwab Gets Foothold.

Oliver j. Sands, president of the
American National Bank, and one OF
Richmond's most active business men,
Is in New York in connection with
the sale of the Tredegar Iron Works
to the Bethlehem Stee, Company.
Mr.. Sands in company with a num-
Der OF other members OF the Rich
mond Cha OF Commerce, were
hosts recently to several Northen
capitalists who were looking into the
proposition of esta blishing big steel
plant in Richmond. 1t is understood
that the visitors were assured that IL
they would establish large plant
here they would be given site free.
owners Arc Reticcnt.
The progress of the negotiations tor
the taking over of the Tredegar Iron
Works and the Belt Isle plant. both
OF which are under consideration by
the Schwab interests, will probably
not be known until Mr.. Sands re-
turns home tomorrow. At the home
OF Colonel Archer Anderson last night
il was said that both Colonel An
derson and his son, principal owners
of the Tredegar Works. were indis-
posed and unable to see reporters.
Great secrecy has been maintained
regarding the deal, though 1t Is gen.
orally supposed to have been con-
slmmated
4 Big Concern.
According to the Wall Street Jour
nal. the acquisition OF the PennsyI-
vania Steel Company by the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation makes the
Schwab interests--
The largest independent steel concern
IN the world, second only in import
ance to the United States Steel Com
pany. With the Pennsylvania, Beth
lehem will have a great pig iron pro-
duction and enormous iron holdings.
With this great crude production
and the great market created by the
war, the Schwab interests seek greater
facilities. and Rich
mond has been in the eyes OF the
for some time.
1t is expected that some definite
of interest will be
made tomorrow when Mr. Sands re-
turns from New York.
