1913 ADDICTS SEEK
DRUG HELP IN DAY
Mother Gives Narcotic to
Baby Ito Quiet Brat"

Three hundred and ninety-eight drug
addicts visited the narcotic clinic of the
Health Department at 1i5 Worth street
yesterday. There appeared in the line
soon after its doors were thrown open n
young mother with year old child In
her arms. When she had passed the
window where the drug Is dispensed she
was observed by one of the attendants
wetting her finger and placing some o,
the powdered narcotic on the childs
lips.
The attendant demonstrated with her,
Regarding him with scorn she shrieked.
Can you tell me anything else / can
do to keep the brat from crying"
Another applicant for prescription
was turned away without receiving any
of the drug because he was apparently
much besotted with liquor. He was de-
clared by DIR. S. Dana Hubbard to have
been the first alcoholic case to appear at
the clinic since its opening.
The work that is being done by the
clinic was inspected yesterday by Walter
II. Herrlck, chairman. and Senator
George II. Whitney, deputy chairman, of
the State Narcotic Commission. Prof
Irving Fisher of Yale was also a visitor
at the bureau.
Statistics based upon histories taken
from PA drug addicts show, according
to DIR. Hubbard. that most OF them are
engaged in unskilled occupations. THIRTY
four different pursuits are represented
and at least 20 per cent. of the addicts
are engaged in transportation work
-Four physicians, one newspaper man and
school teacher are among the number.

CRAIG CALLS PARK
MEASURE WICKED"
Comptroller Fauors Sale of
Pershing Square Property.

Comptroller Craig yesterday charac-
terized as wicked" the bill held up In
the Senate on Thursday that would have
paved the way for the establishment of
park on the site of the old Grand Union
Hotel. at Forty-eacond street and Park
avenue. He declared that 1t ought not
to pass and he believed that Mayor Hylan
felt as he did about 1t, although the
Mayor was induced to sign an ordinance
passed by the Board of Aldermen some
erty as Pershing Square.
According to Comptroller Craig, the
Board of Aldermen In passing the ordi-
nance did so under the impression that
1t referred simply to the street area in
front of the GRAND Central Terminal.
When the 'Joker'' was discovered the
Board Of Estimate killed its concurring
resolution.
The city paid s3577, 900 for the prop
erty TO get the sub-surface easments for
the purposes Of the Lexington avenue
subway. With interest the outlay of
the city has been more than $4,000. 900.
Unless the bill, which had been quietly
slipped along in Albany almost to pass
age. becomes law the city may not
use the site, acquired for transit pur-
poses, for a park but must sell It and
use the proceeds for other rapid transit
work.
Comptroller Craig and other city ONT
Gals say that the suggestion TO honor
Gen. Pershing Is most laudable, but that
In the present state Of thee ity's finances
1t cannot AFFORD to lay aside so much
money for that purpose.
