Campaign Against Evaders
Of the Draft Law

a campaign to apprehend and punish
several thousand draft evaders who
fed from New York after the passage
CT the Selective Service act will be
started here next week. This an
nouncement was made yesterday by
Ben A. Mathews, Assistant United
States Attorney. who returned from
Washington where he conferred with
executive officers Of the Department of
Justice.
The only obstacle in the way of an
immediate round up is the procure
ment of the records of the draft boards
which 70 now stored in the War De-
partr Building in Washington.
These Will be available next week and
then agents of the Department of
Justice will start to make arrests.
There is a total of about 1000 draft
evaders from this district" said Mr.
Mathews. "Many Of them are return
ing now that peace approaches. Many
went to Mexico and South America
merchant ships.
Legally the war is not over and
even when it is declared concluded
these men, especially those who ran
away because they had no valid excuse
for declining service, will not find the
Department of Justice stacking in its
efforts to punish them"
There are between 250.000 and 300,-
900 slackers at large in and out of the

City, u. S. and State
To Join in Drug War
Mayor to Appoint Committee to
Seek Cooperation in Cru
SADIE Against Evil

Following a conference at the City
Hall on drug addicts. Mayor Hylan an
nounced yesterday that within few
days he will appoint committee to
confer with the Federal and state mar
cotic commissions with view to con-
trolling the sale of habiu-forming
drugs.
DIR. Royal S. Copeland, Health Com,
missioner, declared he believed there
were between 100000 and 100000 drug
addicts in this city. He said $500
ounces of habit-forming drugs were
sold in December at a profit of $50 an
ounce.
To meet the present unsatisfactory
situation, DR.. Copeland made the fol-
lowing recommendations:
First-To establish a definition of
what constitutes a drug adct;
Second-To compel all who come ur-
der this class to be registered and
identified;
Third-To make it a misdemeanon
for physicians to prescribe or druggists
to sell to any one without this identifi-
cation;
Fourth-To make the mere sale of
narcotics a misdemeanor; and
Fifth-New regulations by the State
Narcotic Commission or amendments to
the sanitary code
DR.. M. S. Gregory, of Bellevue Hos
pltal, said, in his opinion DR.. Cope
lands estimate was too high. The
proper way to solve the problem, he
said, was to control the source of SUP
ply. he declared physicians could get
aiong with small amount of morphine.
and they did not need heroin at all.

Judges Agree To Be
EASY on Victims
Of Rent Profteers
Members of MunicipalBenc
Seek Solution of Housing
Problem; New Laws Are
Sought from Extra Session

Municipal justices at a special meet
ing yesterday tried to work out solu-
tion of New York's rent profiteering
problem.
One proposal was that the Federal
government or the state make loans
to enable more houses to be built. The
justices were agreed that the only real
solution OF the problem is more houses.
and thai Governor Smith should call
p special session of the Legislature to
take up the rent question. 1t was
urged that Senate and Assembly hous-
ing committees begin an investigation
of the situation and have a solution
ready for the Legislature about the
middle of June.
Judge Jacob Panken, Socialist, pro-
posed that the city build houses and
rent them at cost. He also suggested
IA commission, similar to the Public
Service Commission, which would have
power to regulate rents. He argued
that New York apartments were of
public utility nature and that there
should be commission to tell the
landlords what they could and could not
charge tenants. Judge Panken fur
ther proposed that rents III effect May
l should prevail throughout the year
ard that landlords be compelled to post
IN Railways the rental price of all
apartments
Judge Harry Robitzek asserted that
a5 per cent of New York landlords we're
just; that only small part of them
we're profiteers. For this latter class
he suggested public blacklist, so that
the town might know who's who among
the landlords. He asked for law
which would let judges consider the
reasonableness of an eviction case. AS
it is now, he pointed out, the law is
all in the profiteer's favor.
AS the meeting broke up the justices
agreed to continue giving tenants every
possible advantage, such as postpone
ments in eviction cases.
The Mayors committee is prepared to
insts OTIS. if needed to-day, in the
Met t churches offered by the joint
cent committee of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Captain Charles A.
Goldsmith. Of the Mayors committee,
said families might move into some of
these churches this afternoon, since
May /, may be made by city marshals
to-day. There are about fifty evic-
tions to be made in the Brownsville
section, score in The Bronx and a
number in Brooklyn.
The marshals have been asked to
notify the Mayors committee of evicted
tenants unable to secure shelter.
These will be sent to the churches.
City Marshal J. ]. Haggerty has one
eviction case on his list for to-day
that of Antonio Varrichecco, street
sweeper. living at 276 East 173d Street,
with his ten children,
II will not evict that man if | lose
my marshal's license for it," Haggerty
told the committee.
In Brooklyn yesterday tenants rose
against one landlord. William Max
had gone to the roof of his building
at 548 Powell Street. Stones began
dropping on and about him. He be
tenants. AS he began to retreat one
tenant made a direct hit with a pail
of water.

Appeal Cabled From Allan

diets Upheaval on July I
if Bill Goes Into Effect
SpecinI Correaron5 DO.


ATLANTIC CITY, May 7.-Speaking
for approximately $4,000 saloonkeep-
ers in the United States, the National
Retail Liquor Dealers Association, in
annual convention here, framed a long
petition. which was cabled to President
Wilson in Paris, pleading for the re-
call of the war prohibition order of
July l.
Political upheavals were predicted
for cities as soon as the people had
the opportunity to express at the polls
resentment of the victory Of the anti
saloonists at Washington and in state
President Wilson in Paris reads, in
part
Whereas, the financial assets of
more than $4,000 retail liquor dealers
are seriously menaced by the posi-
bility of wartime prohibition being
enforced on and after July /, 1919,
entailing a monetary loss appalling
in it's magnitude, thereby dealing to
legitimate national commercial en-
terprise an uncalled-for dcathblow,
notwiths standing that demonstrative
sentiment of public character pres
ages no desire on the part of vast
majority OIL our cltlZenTy LnaC Sucn
an injustice be perpetrated, owing to
the fact that the future Of our coun-
try and our allies has now been made
practically safe; and
"Whereas, if this drastic and vicious
wartime measure is enforced on the
date mentioned, an inexcusable injus-
tice upon the part of the government
will have been enacted against $4,000
of its business men that has no paral-
lei in the civilized worlds history; and
Whereas, we have valid reasons to
believe that with the present unsettled
labor situation of the country, menac-
ing the manufacturing and commercial
future of the nations reconstruction,
this multiplying sentiment of discon-
tent will be further augmented by
glutting the labor market with an ad-
ditional army of over two million peo-
pie engaged in the liquor industry
a fact:
Therefore, be it resolved that the
retail liquor dealers of the United
States appeal to the President of the
United States. Woodrow Wilson, to
seriously consider the advisability of
exercising the power vested in him as
President to legally provide against
the enforcement of this appalling, un-
fair and uncalled for wartime prohbi-
tion.
