DR.. T. G. Janeway
Dies in Baltimore
Well Known Professor and
Practitioner Succumbs
to Pneumonia
Especial Correspondence

BALTIMORE, Dec. 27.-Dr. Theodore
Caldwell Janeway. formerly Bard pro-
fessor of medicine of Columbia Uni
versity and since 1914 professor of
medicine OF Johns Hopkins University,
died to-day at his home here of pneu-
monia, after an illness of six days.
Since the United States entered the
war DR.. Janeway had been engaged in
special research work for the govern
ment. He was a major in the medical
officers reserve on duty in Washing
ton.
DR.. Janeway was the son of the late
DR.. Edward Janeway, of New York. one
OF the most eminent physicians Of his
time, AMI was born in 1872 in that city.
lie was graduated from Yale in 1892.
was appointed instructor in bacteri-
ology in Columbia in 1895, was an in
,eTne in st. Luke's Hospital, instructor
and Bellevue College. He had also
filed positions in other New York hos
2itals.
lie WAS instrumental in securing the
close reletion.hip that exists between

N. Y. Centre of Drug Evil,
Whitney Committee Is Told
Legal Police and Medical Experts Testify That Wholesale
Druggists and Doctors Crminally Aid Traffic
Contradiction Marks Day. Session

enstein, physician at the Tombs; Dr..
Walter J. Conley, of the narcotic ward
of the Metropolitan Hospital on Black
wells Island, and Charles Samson, Sec
retary of the Board of Inebriety, who
is in charge of the Warwick Farms in
stitution, where, out of 1917 inmates
received since its establishment in 1914,
825, he said, were victims of various
narcotic drug habits.
DR.. Conley and DR.. Lichenstein de-
clared there were no specific cures for
the drug habit. DR.. Lichenstein fur
ther asserted that the "spit and sweat"
treatment mentioned by several addicts
was entirely wrong in theory. Mr..
Samson was equally positive that there
was a cure, and mentioned the pilocar-
pine treatment. Mr.. Unger also was
sure there was a cure.
Mr.. Samson, after testifying that at
Warwick Farms there were no guards,
said that during the past year eighty
seven patients had absconded. He as
serted this did not reflect upon the
honor system in vogue there, but at
tributed the increase in disappearance
to the fact that a warden borrowed
from the Department OF Charities and
Corrections had insisted on treating the
inmates of the farm as prisoners.
Says Habit Is Decreasing
Mr.. Stanton expressed the belief that
drug addctions had decreased, while
street peddling of drugs, he said, had
been practically wiped out by the re-
cent activities of Federal officials and
Sherb's "dope squad"
But DR.. Lucius Brown, inspector for
the Board Of Health, contended that the
drug habit was spreading in the cities,
although it might be decreasing in the
country.
Mr.. Stanton said addicts were of two
classes-ac accidental, due to administra-
tion of narcotics by physicians during
illness, and contagious, the acquisition
of the habit, like cigarette smoking,
through emulation of friends or chums
and fellow members of gangs.
"The latter are incurable," said Mr..
Stanton. "They seek cures, they have
told me, only so they may experience
again the sensations of acquiring the
habit"
THE criminal doctor is the worst
menace in New York." said Mr.. Vance,
in the course of his testimony, after
declaring that the Harrison law had
reduced the drug evil 80 per cent since
1914. "Some of your drug whole salers
are also criminals. and drug pedlers
have even taken civil service examina-
tions so they can get on the docks TO
steal the narcotics the army is sending
to France"
The committee will meet again to-
day.
New-York tribune., 1917-12-28

Alienists on opposing sides in a
murder trial could hardly differ more
regarding the state Of mird of veal
thy homicide than legal, police and
medical experts did yesterday concern
ing the status of the drug evil when
the Whitney legislative investigating
committee met at City Hall to resume
consideration of the problem as it af-
fects New York City and State.
The only uncontradicted assertions
were these:
That New York is more afflicted by
the drug evil than any other city in
the country; that some of its whole
sale druggists are criminals who evade
both state and national drug statutes /:
that its criminal doctors who peddle
narcotics are more criminal than the
drug cure quacks preying on addcts
in other sections Of the United States /:
that ring actually had been organi-
Zed for the systematic theft of mar
cotics intended TO relieve the agonies
of our wounded soldiers in France /:
that some of the drug-selling doctors
Of the city attend the Whitney COM
mittee hearings TO tout" swindling
cures and sanitariums: that some Of
these have even supplied witnesses,
and that one of them had told a fed
eral agent that he had "treated" 1000
addicts. and had not cured one.
Suggestions Offered
Finally these suggestions were Of
fered to the committee:
BY Judge Cornelius Collins, repre-
senting the magistrates committee on
the drug evil: That the state provide in
stitutional and custodal treatment for
addcts, with probation after discharge
as cured.
BY Edward VI. Stanton, Assistant
United States Attorney: That the dis
tribution of narcotics be confined "a
legally designated central dispensaries
By Albert B. Unger, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney: That treatment of drug
addicts be limited to such physicians
outside of public institutions as may be
specifically licensed under a new stat
ute.
BY Lieutenant d. o. Sherb, Of the
police dope Squad: That the Fed
eral government supervise and control
the manufacture as well as the impor'
tation of narcotic drugs.
By Richard Vance, Federal narcotic
| inspector: That the penalty for Illicit
traffic in drugs be made more severe

Women Sustain u. S.
In War, Says Baker
Secretary Declares America
Would Have to Quit if Cen
tier Sex Withdrew
[SpeciaL CorrespoNden

BALTIMORE, Dec. 27.-Were il not
for the women of America the United
States would have 10 withdraw from
the war until the whole social and
industrial structure" was changed, ac-
cording to Secretary of War Baker in
a letter he sent to-day 20 the Rotary
Club, read at the clubs annual ladies'
entertainment.
Secretary Bakers message was as
follows: 81 have often asked myself
what this war means TO women. And
| have put the emphasis on this war
because wOman's part in many former
wars has been obvious and painful; It
has been a contribution OF loss, con-
tribution of broken hearts, contribu-
tiOn of sacrifices and ministries OF
mercy; but in this war II seems 20 me
that one of the large redeeming hopes
Of the struggle begins to appear in the
waging of this conflict, where the in
tereSts of all our people-men and
womcn-are so inseparably bound to-
get and where the results of our
triumph must be the democratization Of
all OF US alike.
81 have made no careful search in
my own mind on the subject, but
think | may properly say that If all the
women in America would stop do ne the
things they are doing and making the
sacrifices they are making we would
have TO withdraw from the war. We
would a. least have 10 withdraw until
we could bring about an entire reor-
ganization of our social and Industrial
structure; so that one of the demon
strations which this war is making, ore
of the results IT is bringing home, is
that men and women are essentially
partners in the industrial and COM
mercial civilization and that the de-
mocracy which We are struggling TO
establish-the only sort of democracy
which will satisfy anybody's heart and
mind when we emerge from this war
is one which recognizes alike the rights
of all the persons in that democracy"
