FIVE DRUG ARRESTS
MAY END ROBBEEIES
Prisoners Accused Of Selling
Cocaine 10 Bows Who Stole.

police station.
Principals Of East Side schools, who
reported 10 Inspector O'Buen that
pupils in their charge we're plainly adj
dicted TO the use OF drugs, put the
police on a trail recently which led
them to believe that the numerous
petty thefts Of clothing had something
to do with the increasing use of mar
cotics by small boys. Investigation,
the police said. revealed that the four
shopkeepers arrested last night sold
cocaine TO juvenile customers. De
sirous Of learning where they got the

81 Homes for Children
Commended by Board

Eighty-four homes for children have
been inspected by the Health Depart
ment and found TO be in satisfactory
condition.
"As result Of our survey" said Dr.
Emerson. 81, 433 recommendations were
made by the inspectors Of the Bureau
Of Child Hygiene, and OF these 664 were
promptly complied with. The other.
were mostly OF structural nature
which required time TO modify.
$50 far as the children themselves
were concerned, SO per cent showed
some physical defects. The treatment
OF these defects by the institutions was
very satisfactory, two-thirds being en-
tirely remedied. Altogether, the condi-
tions disclosed by the survey were most
satisfactory. and the institutions
showed great willingness 20 comply
with the recommendation made by the
Health Department"

Investigation of Convicted
Murderer's Suicide in
Prison Is Begun.
NEGLECT OF DUTY
EVIDENCE SOUGHT
Court Orders District Attorney
TO Give List Of Witnesses to
OsbOrne's Counsel.

Or George W Kirchwey, who a little
more than a month ago became warden
Of Sing Sing IN the absence OF Thomas
Mott Osborne, Is nov the subject Of
investigation b. the Westchester Coun-
~ Grand Jury. That body yesterday
began taking testimony calculated n
show that he has been guilty Of neglect
Of duty. and that as a result Of this
neglect Antonio Leggio, a convicted
murderer. cheated tho electric chair by
hanging himself.
The witness called To testify 70 the
conduct Of III prison under Dean
Kirchvey was Spencer Miller. deputy
warden and his secretary. Miller vas
questioned at length by District Attor-
ney Weeks. and in the course OF his
examination was accused OF attempting
TO cover up defects in the management
OF the prison. Reports which reached
the outside Indicated that the deputy
warden and the jurors were having a
lively time Of IL.
Earlier in the day Justice Norschau-
ser ordered Mr. Weeks 20 furnish
George Gordon Battle with list of the
witnesses who are 10 be called in the
perjury case against Thomas Mott o.
borne. The District Attorney in oppos-
ing the granting OF the order said there
vas no law governing such a proceed
ing, whereupon the court announced
that no harm would come 10 the public
we're the desired information supplied.
"If there is no law" said the court.
then ! will make some new law"
1t is understood that in the trial on
tho perjury charge District Attorney
Weeks will seek 10 present all the evil
dence given by convicts 20 the effect
that the warden IL guilty OF personal
immortality. II was on the evidence
given BY these corvicts that the indict-
ment charging immortality was based
and TO which Mr. Osborn, has thus far
been denied the privilege Of pleading.
The advantage TO the District Attor-
ney IN presenting this evidence In the
course Of the perjury trial Is that il
would not have 20 be corroborated as
would he required we're the case on
trial the one in which immortality is
charged So far as the public is con-
cerned, the attack upon the reputation
OF the warden would be as complete as
though II had been made in the trial Of
the immortality indictment.
The theory on which this evidence
may be presented IL that Il shows q
motive for the alleged perjury. The
state charges that Mr. Osborne said
there was but one case OF immortality in
the prison. By putting IN evidence
