Minor wrote several pamphlets in Dis
seldorf and had them printed there,
some of them reaching the British
areas. 1t is asserted that the pamph-
lets were of radical tendencies.
While Minor was arrested at the re-
quest of the British, it was with the
understanding that he would be turned
over to the American military authori-
ties by the French and would, in turn,
be placed in custody of the British.
1t is said here that the British have
notified American army officers that
they do not desire to take further &C.
ton in Minors case.
In regard to his imprisonment, the
Intelligence Section of the Third Army

thorities at Coblenz. The charges

yet been divulged by the Intelligence
Section of the Army of Occupation -
Nine men of mixed nationalities are
being tried at Cologne by British
military commission in connection with
charges growing out of the spreading
of propaganda in the British occupied
area.

Passaic Officials
Ask State and u. S.
To End Drops Sale
DR.. John N. Ryan Says Use
of Patented Preparation
With High Narcotic Con.
tents May Become Serious

PASSAIC, N. j., June 14.-Dr John
N. Ryan, city health officer, appealed
to-day to Federal and state authorities
for regulation of the sale of Hoff-
mann's Anodyne, United States Phar-
macopeia preparation which has at
tanned a widespread use among mill
workers who use 1t as narcotic,
The medicine can be purchased in
any drug store. 1t is standard prep
aration containing 81 per cent alcohol,
80 per cent ether and 3 per cent ethe-
real OIL. 1t is known to the public
as "Hoffmann's Drops" and because
of its large alcoholic content, its use
has gradually increased in the East
Side or Dundee section of Passaic. 1t
retails for about so cents an ounce.
and in the drug stores of the East
Side small bottles can be had for 10
cents.
The Board of Health has opposed its
sale, except by doctors prescription,
and a resolution suggesting immediate
control OF its sale was forwarded to
the State Department of Health at
Trenton.
Following all investigation by the
health authorities, Dr. Ryan sent
letter to Collector of Internal Reeve
nue. Charles V. Duffy, at Newark. =
copy of the letter, which called atten-
ton to the promiscuous sale of the
drug and its ingredients. also was sent
to Dr. Jacob c. Price, director of the
State Department of Health 1t was
supplemental to the action taken by
the Board of Health.
The inquiry began when Miss Alma
Smith, principal Of Public School No
2. complained to Dr.. Ryan that some
pupils appeared to be "doped." An
investigation was made, and it was
found that the students were children
of those addicted to the drops" Its
use among school children, however,
mad reached no more than one or two
pupils. DR.. Ryan said.
Health authorities fear that the use
of preparations which contain alcohol
and other stimulants, and which can
be purchased freely at drug stores
will cause serious trouble when bone
dry regulations prevail. He explained
the use of the drug.
The drug is prescribed by doctors
in cases of stomach trouble, and the
dosage is less than a half teaspoonful
mixed with water" Mr.. Ryan said
at might serve as substitute mar
cotic if taken in larger quantities,
though it would be expensive"

This is absolutely false, and Ettinger
knows it.
"There has been s45.oOO,O00 appro-
priated by the present Board Of Esti-
mate and Apportionment for the public
schools of the city, and out of that
there will be sufficient to pay the few
attendants necessary, the cost of which
is less than $1,000, to look after the
swimming pools for the summer.
"Ettinger had no trouble in finding
money out of the s45.000,000 to start
new activities so that his friends could
get high salaried jobs and increases
in salary for other Ettinger favorites.

to mislead the public is not the proper
person to be superintendent of the

Whe Sought to Blow Up
Palmer House Is known

William J. Flynn, head of the Bureau
of Investigation Of the Department of
Justice, announced last night he would
make an arrest in connection with the
bomb soutrages of June 2 within the
next week.
LAS result of a conference at
Washington few days ago." said Mr..
Flynn, some entirely new clews and
facts on the bomb plot have been
turned up that are giving our case a
very hopeful aspect. There will be an
arrest within week"
Mr.. Flynn intimated that officials of
the Department of Justice are about to
establish the identity Of the man killed
IN an attempt to blow up the home of
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer
at Washington. 1t was minated. too,
that the person about to be arrested
is believed to know something about
the explosions throughout the country.
From Police Headquarters came the
news that the manufacturer of the
paper used by "The Fighting Anarch-
lists" IN printing the pink circulars
headed plain Words" picked up in the
vicinity of all of the explosions, has
been found. The paper was made by
the American Writing Paper Company,
with factory at Holyoke, Mass, and
a local office at d Park Row.
Expert printers have told the police
that the circulars were printed on an
old-fashioned foot press, that the type
is of an oldtime make and probably
was discarded by some shop. Super
intendent Offley, of the local Depart
ment of Justice headquarters, said
that, because of the wide distribution
OF the paper, it would be daicslt to
locate the printer of the circulars.

Misuse of Army
Uniform to Bring
Severe Penalties
Enright and Naval Comman.
dant Complain and Magis-
trate McAdoo Promises
Vigorous Prosecution

Answering a letter from Police Com
missioner Enright complaining of leni-
ency in police courts toward frauds in
military uniform, Chief Magistrate Nc
Adoo said yesterday he had directed
all city magistrates to deal severely
with former service men who use the
uniform to further lllegitimate pur-
poses.
Commissioner Enright's letter, writ
ten to Mayor Hylan, quotes the COM
plants of the navy intelligence officer
here, who says a serious condition has
been created, and he declares the
ultra conservative policy" heretofore
pursued by the magistrates is entirely
responsible.
Mayor Hylan transmitted the En-
right letter to Chief Magistrate Nc
Adoo, and in reply the chief magis-
trate told the Mayor he agreed with
the Police Commissioners statement
that abuses of the uniform by swim
dlers will continue for years unless
they are vigorously dealt with now.
The Enright letter, after setting that
the complaint had been received
through the commandant of the Third
Naval District. continues:
The naval intelligence officer, H. O.
Rlttenhouse, calls attention to the
large number and serious character of
offences committed by impostors. He
calls attention to the fact that many
men given undesirable or dishonorable
discharges from the army and navy
and provided with civilian clothing at
the same time continue to wear the
uniform and perpetrate all manner of
thefts and frauds upon charitable or
carnations and upon parents or rela-
tives of other soldiers and sailors.
"ln conclusion Commander Ritten-
house calls attention to Inc fact that
these men, regardless of the fact that
they are still in uniform, are subjects
for the civil authorities. He deplores
therefore the extremely light and
wholly disproportionate sentences that
are imposed upon offenders Of this
class by the civil courts.
"Your attention is drawn to this
matter, as it illustrates another phase
of the evil which the ultra conserva-
tive policy of the courts of this city
is responsible for. think it
most urgent that the courts should be
advised of the seriousness of this
menace"

Brooklyn is fine place to live in, it
is quiet and it's prison meals are good,
Gordon Fawcett Handy told the turn
key at the Raymond Street Jail yester-
day. Handy goes to trial in the Kings
County Court on June 23, charged with
double killing in connection with the
$4,000 East Brooklyn Savings Bank
robbery. An important piece of evil
dence to be produced by the prosecu-
ton will be q confession signed by the
defendant.
"He is polite and acts just like q
born gent" said turnkey. "He says to
me only this morning, Say, I'm sorry
to throw so many cigarette butts on the
floor, but you people have failed to
supply us with gold, or even silver
ash trays"
Too Tired to Exercise
The turnkey added that Handy re-
fused to accept the privilege of a morn
ing stroll in the prison yard, preferring
to remain in his cell, as he was wearied
by lis long journey from Tacoma
Handy slept from 5 o'clock on Friday
evening to 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
He missed good breakfast, the turn
key said, but was cured by Brooklyn's
restful atmosphere Of insomnia of eight
months duration.
Frank x. McCaffry, who will defend
Handy, had half hour talk with his
client. Mr.. McCaffry said he was i'm
pressed by Hamby's gentlemanly bear
ing, but would make no other com
ment. 1t is understood that Handy s
defense might be augmented by coun-
sci employed by friends.
Handy evinced his first show of
i'll will toward anyone when he men
toned Edward Mccullough, who identi-
fed him, in an interview with County
Clerk Kelly, of Kings Court.
"Why, that rat was saved onlv
through his wife and child" Hambv
snapped, "He identified me first and
saw me afterward."

your life? ?"

If the quarrel between Bob Davis and
myself had not occurred. was Just
edging off for Shanghai when the quar-
rel came, and here l am"
In explaining how he happened to
live with Davis in Tacoma, he said:
Il guess you don't know what q
thlef's lay is. There are some who,
after they nave served a term in
prison, seek out some country place,
generally suburb of city, and marry
and settle down. They keep in touch,
however, with some of those thew met
in prison. Some day one of these Jail
friends pulls off another job and then
comes the stunt lodging the police. He
sends word to the friend in the country
that he has made haul and is going
to seek the shelter of his home.
The home of the reformed man be-
comes what is called the lay of the
thief. He remaining there until the
excitement has blown over and then
goes abroad again"
Handy said he thought detectives in
general and New York City detectives
in particular are boobs. He made an
exception of Detective William Roddy,
who brought him from Tacoma. He
said Roddy is quick witted and
intelligent"
