MONEY LACKING TO
ENFORCE DRUG LAW
Commissioner. Herrick Has
Only Tuo Men in State.

Walter r. Herrick. Commissioner Of
the State Department Of Narcotic Drug
Control. has only two Investigators to
cover the entire State of New York and
keep watch upon the agents Of the drug
traffic.
There should be twenty of them at
least" declared Mr.. Herrick yesterday.
Besides that my clerical force was cut
to a fifth of its original size on July
in spite of the fact that we were then
registering every doctor and pharmacist
in the State. know where we can
corral a coterie of the biggest of the
cocaine and heroin peddlers and eventu-
ally we shall do It But I could do II
at once IL we had three or four hundred
dollars to spend"
Mr.. Herrick says private physicians
In all parts of the State are compelled
to prescribe for addicts only by means
OF the yellow dosage cards. But. he
admits, due to the lack of money he is
dependent solely upon the professional
honor of doctors and that he has not
adequate means to make sure that the
Whitney bill Is being adered to In all
sections.
Relatively" he declared, there Is
more peddling Of narcotic drugs upstate
than in New York. We know also that
large quantities OF narcotics are being
struggled into the State from Canada"

The lake is being dragged for the girls
body.
Decker. who boards at the Harris
home. returned alone late Sunday night
and told the girls parents that she had
gone to a sanitarium In Pompton, where
she Is employed. When Miss Harris
failed to return Monday. her father be-
came alarmed and after ascertaining
that she had not returned to the sani-
tarium he had Decked arrested.
After FIRST denying that he knew what
had happened to the girl, Decker finally
said to Chief Of Police Charles Magee
OF Wayne Township that the canoe had
gone over the dam. He and Miss Harris
were thrown out. he said. and he sue
ceeded in saving himself only after

He did not see the girl again.
Decker Is excited and appears to be
under heavy strain. He repeats con-
tinually In his cell: ct did not kill her.
Detectives found the canoe yesterday
on the shore of the Ramapo River be-
low the dam. II Is damaged. but not

was any one In It when II went over the
dam. Decker shows no marks or bruises
such as would be caused by the ac-
cident he described, but there are
scratches on his nose and wrist.

stein and her home at 1925 Prospect
place, Brooklyn. In her boys disguise
the girl dashed into the Pennsylvania

The trim Mt OF her suit and her fair

the train a man very much excited ran
up and asked II good looking boy had
bought a ticket lately.
