CARRANzISTAS IN CONTROL.

FL PASO, Tex, Jan. i.-Refugees ar
irving here from Santa Rosalia. La Bo-
quilla, Jimenez and Parral said Carranza
troops held the railroad line and surround
ing country between Chihuahua City and
Santa Rosalia. This contradicts previous
reports given ont by Villa partsans here,
saving that Villa was between Santa Ro-
saha and Chihuahua City with his main
column and had driven the de facto out
posts toward the state capital.
These refugees left Chihuahua City Sun
day, arriving there by coach from Santa
Rosalia. They reported seeing two trains
of de facto troops leaving the railway sta
tion for the south and said two other
trains, one Of which was occupied by Gen
eral Murguia and his staff, were under
steam at the station ready to leave Sunday
night They also reported Carranza troops
moving south from Santa Rosalia when
they left there on December 2S for the
border.

VILLAS PLUMBER CAPTURED.

FL PASO. Tex, Jan. An official re-
port received here by Andres Garcia, IN
spector general of Carranza cansulates.
from General Francisco Murgua III Chi
huahua City. announcing the capture of q
large quantity of war munitions in cache
at Terreros. twenty miles south of the
town of Guerrero, in Western Chihuahua,
was the first admission by the Carranza
government that Francisco Villa had sue
ceeded in obtaining large quantity of
ammunition and arms in Chihuahua City
during has occupation of that place.

mel shells, $4,000 rounds of rifle cartridges,
400 rifles, eight cannon. numbef or ma
chine guns, hand grenades. uniforms and

he captured Chihuahua City and was sent
10 Terreros on q number of special trains

it at $50 cars of plunder, including auto
mobiles, wagons, uniforms, blankets, shoes

WOULD EMPOWER
PRESIDENT NAME
DRUG COMMITTEE
BODY WOULD INVESTIGATE WHOLE
SUBJECT FEDERAL REGULATION
OF NARCOTIC PROBLEM.
CHARLES. B. TOWNS SUGGESTS WAY
TO INTERNATIONAL ACTION
AGAINST HABIT VICES.

WASHINGTON, ID. G.. Jan. An con-
nection with proposed amendments TO the
Harrison Narcotic Law which are To be
considered bv congress. Charles b. Towns
Of New York, an authority on anti-drug
legislation, urges that congress empower
President Wilson 10 appoint a committee
to investigate the whole subject of federal
responsibility in the solution of the habit
forming drug problem. DevotIng twen-
ty-page pamphlet to 'the information Of
congress" Mr.. Towns declares that the
findings of such federal committee would
help the various states 10 arrive at a uni
form solution of the drug problem, and
''would establish a Legislative, medical and
sociological precedent that would give
this country for the first time the primacy
il ought 10 have IN asking other countries
to join with us once and for all IL ter
minating this evil"
"My findings have shown" said Mr..
Towns, "that not more than ten per cent of
those afflicted with the drug habit are en-
titled to use drugs continuously because of
physical disability. We are sacrificing
ninety per cent of those who could be well
and normal without the drug to alleviate
suffering of some few incurable persons"
Among many loopholes in the present
laws. Mr. Towns pointed ont that a drug
taker or any other person purporting TO be
n drug taker can at present have Just as
many physicians prescribing narcotic for
him as he may see fit to have, and he may
demand Just a. much Of the drug as he
chooses to take.
"The doctor does not have TO find out
whether or not the patient is a confirmed
drug -taker: he can take the mans word
for il and prescribe just what the patient
asks for. A few such patients could
practically corner almost the entire habit
forming drug market and. if they wanted
10 do so. could establish themselves in the
| ha bit forming drug business"
After pointing out the extent to which
many so-caled patent medicines and "pro-
pretaries' ARE responsible for the growth
of drug addiction, Mr. Towns suggested
that one solution of the drug problem might
he 10 restrict the manufacture, sale, pre-
scribing and administering of opiates
strictly to crude opium. to laudanum and
paregoric, and to hold the physician to a
strict accounting of all these he personal
ly prescribes or administers.
1--WE can dispense even with morphine
and all of the opium alkaloids," he said.
'T can go back to the time in the South
when there was an old rosewood medicine
chest with ball of opium and vial of
paregoric. and these easily met every pos
sibIe need where oprates were considered
necessary to alleviate pain. The medical
profession would not be inconvenenced in
the slightest degree by such restriction
and il would at once eliminate every un-
favorable hazard that has grown out OF
the use of habit forming drugs for medical
prescriptions"
