HARTFORD, July 22.-Bartholdt Hoff-
man tried all yesterday morning to scare
up a little feeling with numerous mugs
Of 2.75 beer. and along about noon he
got so doggoned mad at prohibition that
he decided to go home and mix himself

ing to a recipe given by a friend. He
used this:
One-half pint of ammonia
Four ounces of peppermint
Four ounces of horse IMMINENT

Two Jumps Of sugar.
Four ounces of water.
Hoffman mixed this stun and at 1
o'clock he sat in chair in tho Kitchen
and drank II.
At :O2 he bounded into the living
room of his home, where all the men,
bers OF his family were seated, with
the light OF battle in his eyes and the
family rolling pin in one hand.
. Three minutes after o'clock he
chased his eldest son from the house.
At l :04 o'clock he chased his eldest
daughter from the house.
At ! :05 o'clock he kicked his second
son and threw him out.
At :06 o'clock he chased his second
daughter from the house.
Then he beat his wife before she could
escape, and becoming peevish when she
ran faster than he could he grabbed a
rifle and shot at her but missed.
He refused TO let his family come
into the house again. so Trey notified
the police. and Chief Samuel o. Gordon
came in person TO deal with Hoffman.
The Chief walked calmly into the
house. looked up the stairs. and saw
Hoffman standing at the top pointing
a rife at him.
The Chief quickly jumped into another
room, where he called upon Hoffman to
surrender In the name of the law.
Hoffman told the police that neither
the law nor the police meant anything
in his young life.
Chief Gordon then ran up the stairs.
and Hoffman forgot to shoot. Instead
he threw away his gun and tried to bite.
He did succeed In tearing the Chiefs
coat. but that was all, because Gordon
used very efficacious police methods and
subdued him. horse lininent and all In

was apparently one OF refinement. After
arriving home he 1apsed into q stupor
and his family thought his condition
so serious that they caused him TO be
removed to the hospital. From his condi-

been drinking something quite different
from the average whiskey, but they were
unable to determine the nature of 1t.

DIR. Jewett said ITO get an idea OF exactly
what effect the prohibition law is going
to have upon these people. None OF
them seems TO believe that his supply
will be curtailed altogether, for he thinks
that there win always be certain chan

some kind of a drink when he wants 1t.

we will be In a position to thoroughly

In the habit OF drinking without COM
plant whatever they were able to get.
DR.. Stephen p. Jewett. specialist on
nervous disorders In charge of the psy-
chopathio ward, told q representative of
THE Sun yesterday that all Of the old
habitual drinkers appear to DO getting
their supply with regularity. The only
difference which they see between this
month and the last 10 that the stun Ia Of
far inferior grade and apparently
more harmful.
Referring at random TO records OF ad-
missions during this month and last, Dr.
Jewett gave some figures which tend to
show an increase Of asute alcoholic
cases.
The total number OF acute alcoholic
cases admitted on the four days selected
at random from the hospital register
June -, IL, II and 10 was 81. while the
number for the four corresponding days
In July was 2s, showing an increase Of
I acute cases.
DR.. Jewett stated that the figures
were typical The same records arranged
for q comparison based upon the day OF
the week rather than upon the date of
the month give the following result:
Saturday. June II, acute case; Sat
urday, July 10, 9 acute cases; Thursday,

A comparison with records of some
previous years, DR.. Jewett said. would
give no information of value for the rea-
son that the policy OF the hospital has
changed. Alcoholics OF the type charac-
terized as common drunks have not been
received at Bellevue for long time past
Such cases are committed by magistrates
to the workhouse.
The only kind OF sufferers treated
at the hospital are those whose mental
ity has been affected by drink. whose
nervous system has been broken down,
or who have suffered some serious in

One of these patients admitted within

OPINIONS OF MY OWN

very much reading a fine
article, in reference to our
homeless children. We can't
NOT THE EFFECT
BUT THE CAUSE

remember Just now In Wnlcn
Daper that article was published but much praise
can be given to the whose heart beats fast before
human suffering Of this king not in presence OF the actual
PAIN that naturally moves anybody but IN anticipation OF
the fact suggesting the remedy before it is too late
Yes too many children found all over Porto Rico,
particularly in San Juan roaming about without drec-
ton very much like the derect drifts the currents
of the and just the abandoned ship offers danger
to navigation the vagran YOUTH which is the material
out Of which the criminal is made one OF the greatest
dangers confronting the community. Special establish
mens must be provided for the tender human derelicts
where both home and education can be given them
But we must always keep in mind the effect and the
cause while attenng to the immediate need and supply
ing the peremptory remedy let investigate the origin
and study the best to attack the illness at its very
roots That the sensible way to DO IT. the more humane
the less expensive
Why are these children homeless? Why should we wait
for the child to be without home and then provide him
with it? Furthermore, Could that HOME the family
surroundings the mother care be ever furnished by the
State? These Of the questions that should
put to ourselves Remember the old adage, Zone ounce
of cure is better than one pound OF prevention.
The old method practising charity giving aims to the
street beggar is antiquated, degrading, NO Goods we
should act before it is too late The old reformatory
system by Of as and penitencares is rotten; it
reforms nobody but it brands Infamous anybody We
should always act before is too late and excuse us for
the repetition.
When any one complained before Booker T. Washing
ton about the number Of crimes committed by the negroes
in the South the great educator showed the school statls
tics he simply pointed out to the fact that while in
of the northern states the per capita expenditure forty
dollars per year, less than three dollars spent in the
South for the education of each negro child. And they
speak yet of equal opportunity for all!
When we talk Of education in Porto Rico, whole
mind is concentrated school buildings books and
other material things and the personnel to handle
the teachers But let not forget that the HOME factor
before all that and consequently should require
primarily our attention Remembering Washington, the
best for social backwardness should be the
