DOPE HABIT SPREADS;
SEE DANGER TO CITY
Evils Alarming Growth En-
tends to Suburbs-Uscd
There Secretly"

GSe Of dope" in this city is spreading
t" such an extent as 90 present one Of
its greatest dangers" Its use is in
crasing not only I'm Philadelphia, but
IN the suburbs. where Il IS being used
more "sccretivcly." Judge j. Whitaker
Thompson, of the United States Dis
triCt Court for the eastern district Of
pennsylvania, made these statements
today in an interview during which he
mado it plain that he regarded the drug
habit as one of tho greatest evils that
exists, especially during the war crisis
through which tho country is now
passing.
lie urged that stringent steps be taken
to stamp out the drug evil, tho effect Of
which, he said. is bound to be exhibited
in future generations.
Use of hcroin, cocaine and other mar
cotic drugs is one of the greatest dang
crS tho community has 10 fear at the
present time" said Judge Thomson.
Judging from my own observation
OF the people who have como before
mo and from information derived from
them II Is safe 10 say that dope has
reached out its claws and secured an
exceptionally firm hold upon our COM
munity. l have seen many young men
and women brought before me in broi-
VII IllN 'oiultiOil. anu j WOulu say
that the cause was the entire breaking
down Of their moral standards through
tho constant use of injurious drugs.
",rhc effect that dope has upon
the individual is that It gives him or
her perverted view of things They
Slever tell the truth and It is only after
considerable questioning that their
testimony can be accepted. Another
thing that always becomes evident is
the fact that in the wearing down of
their will power they lose tho ability
of refrainlng from doing wrong or else
they are absolutely unable to realize
that they have committed an offense.
1T seems that the crafty side of their
natures is sharpened. causing them to
say or do anything TO get drugs, re-
gardlcss of existing moral laws. / have
never seen any exceptions to this.
"In the majority of cases OF persons
who como before me in counterfeiting
cases" Judge Thompson continued. "in
which persons who arc unemployed are
likely to get into-generally large
number are addicts. The reason seems
TO be that the profit from the dope
trade is so great that It causes a very
strong temptation for them to traffic
in it.
''One of the queerest things, however
about users is that no matter how
base or degraded they may be. they
Invariably refuse TO tell where they
procured their stuff This state Of
affairs Is what allows the drug habit
to spread and exist not only in Phila-
delphia but in places surrounding It.
The majority of persons do not realize
that It is in evidence in our suburbs,
because. possibly, the use OF It is done
more secretively there.
Dope is such an insidious habit and
Is manipulated in such stealthy way
that naturally 1t is hard TO stamp out.
If We don't take stringent steps. how
ever, the effect of 1t is bound to be ex-
hibited, more or less. In our coming
generation" ..-'.'

MAN SUING BALDWIN'S
GETS SMALL VERDICT
Only $218,750 Allowed How
ard E. Mitchell, Who Asked
$7,000,000 Commissions

ls After several hours deliberation and
re1nstructions from Judge Carr, the Jury
IN the suit OF Howard T. Mitchell, a
broker, against the Baldwin Locomotive
works. TO recover compensation for his
pervices in negotiating contracts with
the British Government and the de-
fendant for war munitions this after
noon returned a verdict In favor of the
PLAINTIFF for s:1s.750.
" In his original statement Of claim
Mitchell had sought per cent commits
etons on 100000 900 worth of contracts.
~ approximately 100000. During the
Trial. however. many of the contracts on
which he based his claim were elimi-
mated, thus reducing his demands TO less
than sc.oo0,0o0 THIS amount was at
sacked by the defendants, who con-
tended that it was based on contracts
which Mitchell had nothing at all TO do
With. but which were procured through
,. r. Morgan e. Co. the British Govern
ment's representatives in this country
The defense also donled that the
pl4tntin was entitled TO any compensa-
Ton, averring that he was never en-
DlQyed by Baldwin's. and did not have
4ny agency with that firm.
N Mitchell said that when he learned
