ALMOST FORGOT
THE DEFENDANT
Lawys6 Get a wrangling
and Client Was Almost
Left Unheard.

Legal battles ragged for more than
two hours yesterday afternoon before
Justice Conway when Lonek Boltek,
an Austrian. was tried on charge Of
violating the Yost law by owning Ger
tain whiskey that was brought into
the state. So much contradictory evil
dence was given In the case that JUS
tice Conway wanted the night to
PASS before he gave his decision In
the case.
At noon today Justice Conway de-
cided to sentence Boltek to work on
the county roads for two months. A
fine Of 800 was also imposed. Beksic
several weeks ago gave bond to ap-
pear before the grand jury. Attorney
L. c. Musgrave represented BeksIc
and Attorney French McCray was
counsel for Boltek.
The case was bitterly contested and
tie attorneys clashed frequently and
there was plenty of goat-getting dur
ing the trial. In the excitement that
bristled serious oversight was only
remedied at the last moment by the
Justices order-that of putting Boil
TEX on the stand to testify in his own
defense. Even at times one of the
lawyers got SC excited that he used
naughty words"

DRUGGISTS REFUSE AID
IN ANTI-HEROIN CRUSADE
Philadelphia Leads Move to
Keep Pharmaceutical Chem
lists From Acting
ATLANTIC CITY. n. j.. June 10.

ATLANTIC CITY, y. j., June 10.
A vigorous flibuster, led by Charles
Henry, Of Philadelphia, a past president OF
the National Retail druggists Association,
and r. g. Stofer, Of Norwich, y. Y, today
caused the American Association Of Pharm-
aceutcal Chemists to shelve a recommenda-
tion of the board of directors to approve
the plea of II. X. Mulford, of Philadelphia,
for legislation forbidding the use Of heron
in medicinal preparations. Mr.. Mulford
presented his plea Monday, when II was
warmly indorsed.
Henry said he believed the opponents Of
heroin were working along money lines and
maintained that so far as drug manu-
facturers and druggists were concerned
there had been little to justify the annoy
anCe and inconvenience to which the trade
had been subjected on the score of narcotics,
Another plea against action on the COM
mittees recommendation was that there
cannot be any ant-narcotic legislation at
this session Of Congress. B. +. Halliday,
secretary of the National Wholesale Drug
gists' Association, said the tremendous In
crease in the use of heroin was due TO
drastic enforcement Of the law against
cocaine. Henry replied that the use OF
cocaine is effectively controlled in Phla-
dclphia
