SON ASKS $4,000 LOAN
FROM FATHERS ESTATE
Lee Hutchins, Who Broke Will,
Would Make His Inheritance
Security.

Lee Hutchins. younger son of Stilson
Hutchins. who filed the petition which
broke the will of his father after a
trial lasting five months, wants to Dor
row 100000 from the estate. An appeal
is pending from the verdict of the jury
breaking the will. and the son asks the
court to authorize William j. Dante,
trustee of the estate. to advance the
money on the security of his interest
in the estate.
Mr.. Hutchins says he needs $4,000 In
his business, and wants to borrow 1t
for five years. His interest cannot be
less than 90 per cent, he advises the
court. and points out that this would
amount to not less than $336.0OO. He
also declares that Mr. Dante has $780,
900 on deposit drawing only 3 per cent,
and he is willing to pay 9 per cent for
the amount sought by him.
Attorneys William G. johnson and
Myer Cohen represent the son.
Last year Justice Gould authorized
Trustee Dante to advance $4,000 to
Mrs. Rose Keeling Hutchins, the widow,
on the security Of her interest In the
estate.

SEEKS ABR0GATION OF
NARCOTIC LAW RULINGS
g. B. Ashley Petitions for Right to
Have Prescriptions Refilled With
out Additional Doctors Bill.

George B. Ashley. through Attorneys
Eugene c. Brokmeyer AND Leonard J,
Mather filed petition today for a writ
of mandamus in the Supreme Court OF
the District of Columbia to compel the
revenue commissioner to abrogate
Treasury decisions 1903. 2213 and 2172
He seeks the right to have a narcotic
prescription reflled without paying an
additional Doctors bill
These decisions were issued by the de-
partment among others. for the enforce
ment of the Harrison narcotic law, and
those first promulgated prohibited the
ref1llfng of prescription calling for a
mixture Of medicinal ingredients con-
tanning narcotic drug In. quantity
exempted by section of the Harrison
act. The drug trade generally objected
to the earlier Treasury decisions. 1t is
stated, on the ground that preparatio
and remedies containing narcotic drug
in quantity exempted by section s of
the act included prescriptions.
Subsequently the department modified
the earlier decisions 50 as to prohibit
the refillfng Of prescription for a
medicinal preparation containing a mar
cotic drug unless such preparation is
prepared IN accordance with the y nlted
States Pharmacopoeia. National For
mulary, or other recognized or estab-
lished formula usually carried in stock
by a druggist and sold without a pre-
scriptfon. provided such preparation is
dispensed in good faith for medicinal
purposes only. The department further
defined preparations and remedies with
in the intent of section of the act to
be ready made compound mixtures pre-
pared in the manner stated.
The petitioner contends that the Sec
rotary of tire Treasury and the internal
revenue commissioner have exceeded
their authority by going beyond the
scope and intent Of the Harrison act.
and further contends that If it should
be held that they have not exceeded
their authority in issuing the Treasury
decisions in question, they have invaded
the police powers of the states and
thereby made both the decisions and the
law unconstitutional.
Petitioner also ayers that the Treas
ury decisions contested discriminate
against the poor man in favor Of the
physician by compelling the former to
pay an additional fee to the physician
every time he wishes to renew a pre-
scription calling for a bona fide medici-
nal preparation containing narcotic
drug in the quantity exempted by sec
ton of the Harrison act
Justice Mccoy cited Secretary McAdoo
and Commissioner Osborn to show
cause. October 6, why writ Of manda-
mus should not issue.

| tanning sB per cent of the population OF
| the country, was from 24SS 70 2.71S. 4
Thus q nve-yeAr increaae Of 77B par
cent-accepting ~ reliable tho figures
compiled by the national automobile
| chamber Of commerce--in number OF
machines has been accompanied by IN
| increase Of S15 per cent in automobile
fatalities: anu one-year increase Of
IS per cent In number OF machines
has been accompanied by an increase
of IL per cent In fatalities.
Perhaps more reliable compare
son, from the statistician's point Of
view, can be made between the In
crease in number OF automobiles In use
and the increase in the rate per 100000
population for deaths caused by them.
This is because, with given number
Of machines in use in given area the
fatalities due to them will tend to be
proportional to the population OF that
area. When the comparison Is made
on this basis, 1t appears that hve-
year increase Of IT'S per cent In number
Of machines has been accompanied by
an increase of 25S per cent-from LIZ
to 4.3 per 100000 population--in the
death rate resulting from automobile
fatalities. Similarly, q one-year In
crease of 3S per cent in number OF
automobiles has taken place along with
an increase of only 10 per cent-from
SO to 4.3 per 100. o00-in the death rate
charged to them.
One cause Of this proportional de-
crease in the destructiveness Of the
automobile Is undoubtedly to be found
in a reduction of average annual mile
age per machine; but, after due weight
is given this factor and suitable mar
gin is allowed for possible error re-
sulting from inaccuracy in the esti-
mated portion of the automobile
statistics. the figures still appear to
furnish ample justification for the con-
clusion that the automobile today Is
being driven with more care and more
regard for public safety than it was a
few years ago.
