PARIS, Feb. Whispering prop

familiar during the war was believed
today to be responsible for the chang

growing that German agents are SOW

There have been several significant
developments in this connection.
When the President arrived in France

likely that an effort will be made to
clear up the atmosphere generally be-

CHAIN LAWLESS
ACTSBLAMED:ON
use NARCOTICS
POLICE, PHYSICIANS AND DRUG.
GiSTS RE-READ HARRISON
LAW TO GET FACTS.
DRUGGISTS CLAIM DIFFICULTY
Possible for Doper to Secure Sew
eraI Prescriptions from Different
Physicians and Have Them Filled
At Different Stores.

/ -
The chain of lawless acts in Co.
lumbia recently, which is attributed
chiefly to the presence here of num-
erous dope fiends and dope" boot
leggers making their way between the
two big industrial plants at Muscle
Shoals and Hadleys Bend, has caus-
Ell careful re-reading of the state
ana federal antinarcotic laws by
police officers, druggists and physi-
clans with a view to putting stop
to the traffic and making this city
an unpleasant place for these human
derelicts.
Within recent weeks acts of lawless
ness that it is believed are traceable
to these thansients were:
Robbery of Black Drug Co. store
in which $125 worth of narcotics and
needles and SIS in cash were stolen.
Passing of bad check and theft of
$40 from Maury Undertaking Co, by
man posing as returned soldier who
also beat board bill at a recent hotel.
Believed also to be a doper.
Attack on Mrs. Howard Perry at the
home of her father, DR.. W E. Martin,
ON South Main street, by an unknown
intruder, believed to have been a dope
fiend.
Arrest of several pairs of dopers on
the streets, all of whom claimed to
have been travelling between the two
industrial plants.
These events have given the police
much concern and City Marshal Nc
Lean has issued an order that all
strangers without evidence of having
business here shall be locked up or
caused to move on without delay.
Speaking from the viewpoint of the
druggist, prominent drug store pro-
prietor in Columbia stated this morn
ing that he found it difficult to adhere
to the spirit Of the anti-narcotic law
because so many regularly issued pres
criptions by accredited local physi-
clans were presented He made no
complaint against the physicians, but
said that he could not refuse to fill
such prescriptions when they COM
piled, as far as he could observe, with
the letter of the law. He said that it
was possible for these transient fiends
to come into Columbia, secure several
prescriptions from different physi-
clans and have each one filled at
different drug store, thus supplying
himself with much larger quantity
of narcotics than it is the intention
of the law that one person should
have.
The Harrison anti-narcotic law re-
quires that every person dealing in or
manufacturing narcotics shall register
with the internal revenue office.'
These orders must be preserved for
two years. Narcotics sold or dispensed
must be upon written prescription
from physician and these prescrip-
tions must be kept on file for two
years. The state law regulating the
sale of narcotics conforms largely
with the Harrison federal law.
