ling the drugs, so that if any narcotic
is ever found on their premises, hid
den away or forgotten, they will be
protected
Richmond will never have a serious
narcotic problem, they say, because,
besides the stringent laws, the city is
much too small to harbor drug-users
or agents. 1t is like big family, any
thing which happens Is known and
such traffic would be detected and
stamped out in a few months
The large cities and the slums, es-
pecially in the south, are the places
where the drug habit is serious and
the traffic is to be watched, according
to these druggists. Men who have
drug stores here and in other towns,
says that the morals of Richmond are
much higher than in many other
places. and that they could if they
wished pull off" things in these other
cities which they could not do in Rich
mond.
But as to replacement of the liquor
habit by the drug habit, there is no
possibility, declare the druggists
Liquor will always be easier to get
than narcotics, and the latter habit
has no chance to get started in Rich
mond.

NARCOTIC PROBLEM NOT ANTICIPATED
IN RICHMOND, SAY LOCAL DRUGGISTS

Richmond persons are not resorting
to drugs as substitute for liquor, be-
cause the drug laws are so much
tighter than anti-liquor legislation that
it III practically impossible to obtain
drugs here. for illegal purposes, say
druggists.
Richmond never has had serious
trouble with the users of narcotics,
and there is less right now than ever
in history, say these druggists.
Four or five years ago narcotics
were much more easily obtained in
Richmond than since, and there were
a few chronic users Since that time
tional laws have gone into effect, and
those who used drugs either moved
away or took a cure.
After the laws made it difficult to
obtain narcotics, drug users here re-
sorted to paregoric, which has slight
narcotic effect In order to meet this
tendency, Earegoric was put on the
restricted list by the government, and
now it is only to be obtained by a
physicians certificate.
Sale Records Required
Under the law, both doctors and
druggists have to render a strict &C.
count of every grain of narcotics
which they purchase and sell, or pre-
scribe. Records must be kept subject
to the inspection of state or federal
authorities, for a period of at least
two years.
Because of this red tape, most Of
the drug stores in Richmond have
ceased to handle any kind of narcotics

taken out narcotic licenses have only
very small stock Some of the

EARL HAMITES
OF 1874 HERE
NEXT TUESDAY
Old Students and Alumni Day
at College Event of Com
mencement Week.

Plans to make the Alumni and Old
Students Day at Earlham one of the
biggest events of the commencement
week are nearing completion, accord
ing to statement by DR. Homer Nor
ris, president of the Alumni associa-
ton this morning. The day set for
the occasion is Tuesday. June 10.
At this time all the classes and stu
dents will hold a reunion at the col
lege. 1t is planned to have this day
become annual day of the school year
and probably will be held the day be-
fore commencement. Next year the
classes that have graduated at an in
terval -ot four years beginning with
the graduating class of 1920 will be
present on this day. BY this schedule
each class that has graduated from
the college will hold reunion at the
Alma Mater every four years.
Seek Closer Relations.
The main purpose of the day Is to
keep the alumni and old students in
closer relation with the college and
to maintain their interest in the well
fare of Earlham. To do this it is ar
ranged to entertain all the guests on
the college campus during the day,
the meals being served either in the
campus and accommodations for lodg-
ing will be made in the two dorni-
tories. The oldest class to meet this
year is the class of 1874, of which
there are only five members living
However. word has been received
from each of the members stating that
they expect to be present at the re
union. OF the class of 10, six of the
nine living members will visit the
scene of their college days on this oc
casion. The class of 1914 announced
that it will be represented by at least
twenty-five old Earlhamites.
The special attraction of the day
will be the address given by Carl Ack
erman, II, of Richmond at 1920 in
the morning on Chase Stage. Mr.. Ack
erman is one oil Earlhams most cele
brated graduates. His subject has moi
been announced yet, but probably will
be on some question of world politics
or about some of his experiences II

John Corsak, serving life sentence

William L. Bennett, who tried the
case in 1909. The letter contained
the promise of Judge Bennett to sup

served ten years Of the sentence.
Judge B. F. Gaffney of this city said
that Corsak had treasured this hope
and had patiently waited until the ten
years had been served before asking
for clemency. Rev. Lucyan Bojnow-

was a Russian, and that nationality
was hated by Poles, also appeared in

Executive Secretary John Buckley

account of the judge having, heard the
case while sitting in the supreme
court when the appeal to the. court of
errors was made by counsel for the
PerettaS.
In arguing for his clients, Judge

said. had found a motive in a previous

testimony of the dead mans sister.
Judge futile said that the description

fit that of his clients. In summing up
Judge futile placed stress on the lack
of evidence that would convict the
brothers and send them to their

in view of the fact that the men are
