Fl have received many complaints from.
the public, from newspapers and from
physicians OF the manners In which a
large number Of druggists within the
eastern district Of New York and pre-
sumably IN other sections of New York
city have been dispensing whisky for
medicinal purposes said Ross.
The complaints are Of two classes ::
Those which speak Of excessive charges
made by druggists for whisky sold on
prescription and those which speak Of
the most inferior quality Of whisky sold.

my own observation I believe that this
is situation which the government
should do all IN It's power to relieve"

BOOKS TO DOWN

Librarians Plan to Put Read

of Millions.
TEACH HIGH IDEALS

NEW YORK. Feb 21.-Believing that
the surest, safest and quickest way to
give the deathblow to bolshevism and red
aotivities in the United States is by ed
Heation, principally along lines of Amer
icanism," ten of the~highest ranking IL
brary authorities in the United States
met in the Park Avenue hotel and
launched a campaign which. it is pre-
dicted, will reach to the heart of every
home in America before 1t is completed.
Thousands of books viii be sent to per
sons who now read little, and literature
supply stations will be established In
Industrial centers that will counteract
the work of the red flag bearers.
The work is to be carried on under
auspices of the American Library asso-
citation, and is the outgrowth Of a meet
ing held in Chicago recently, when nom
nations were fled for the ten library
superintendent in all parts of the United
States who were to act as regional su
perintendents in the enlarged program
under way.
The campaign is to be known as the
Books for Everybody Campaign" with
the slogan, Good Books Make Good
Citizens" All public libraries and pri-
vate institutions with membership in
the American Library association, num-
herring about 400, will cooperate. with
view to instructing persons who read
little or not at all, and those who read
literature detrimental to good citizenship.
1t is intended to supply books that will
not only teach the readers constructive
measures in their work and industries
but books that will forward the spirit
of Americanism.
In mining settlements and cities where
industrial unrest and bOlshevism have
thrfved most, the greatest efforts will be
nut forth. Also the system OF circulat-
ing literature for the country's blind
viii be improved.
Joseph L. wheeler, chief librarian Of
the Youngstown (O) library. said:
"There are approximately 1900. 600
foreign born in the United States. about
100000 of whom do not read or speak
the English language The great ma
jOrity of foreign born, in this country,
know little or nothing of American his
tory, traditions or ideals. They have
been entirely dependent upon books and
periodicals in their own language"
Mr.. Wheeler said the libraries under
the new campaign would devote much
time and energy TO educating the foreign
born as to the books and periodicals
they should read.

COURT SCORES
SLEUTHS' PLAN
Declares Detectives Provoked
Crime Which Trapped Girls.

NEW YORK. Feb. 21-CharacterlzIng
the record of the case as scandalous and
shocking to the sense of decency, Judge
William H Wadhams in Part I Of the
court of general sessions reversed the
conviction of Emily Hoffman, convicted
before Magistrate Francis Y. Mancuso Of
vagrancy. In an opinion directing the
discharge Of the defendant Judge wad-
hams delivered scathing criticism of
police methods and directed Assistant
District Attorney James Z. Smith to
make an Investigation to determine BY
what authority the ci+y's money is being
spent to pay the expenses of policemen
engaged in melting the commission OF
crime. He also directed the clerk to de-
liver a copy Of his opinion to the police
commissioner
The conviction was obtained on the
testimony OF Detectives Fred Sorger and
Hilbert Wheelright. who managed to
strike up an acquaintance with Miss
Hoffman and a companion with whom
she lived at lis West Iinety- fourth street
and Invited The two girls to Healy's.
afterward accompanying them to their
apartment.
After quoting the testimony Of Wheel
right, Judge Wadhams said: at ap-
pears from the evidence that instead Of
the defendant being on trial, the Of
fcer should be on trial. It is the officer
who solicited the defendant, by calling
her on the telephone, by taking her to
Healy's, by there plying her with drinks
antil o'clock in the morning.
This method of proceeding is known
on previous occasions pointed out the
distinction between the legitimate tran
and the provocation Of crime. In the
case of legitimate trap, the police.
learning that crime is about to be
committed, arrange the witnesses shall be
present in order that the evidence may
be obtained to convict independently of
any fnducement Of procurement on the
part Of the police.
This is not such a case In this case
the crime is induced, procured and pro-
voked by the police, who deliberately
undertake to effect the commission of the
crime"
After pointing out that such methods
opened the door to wholesale fraud and
blackmail, Judge Wadhams continued:
1.-THE record before me is a scandalous
record. It shocks the sense of decency.
We have a body Of policemen in this
community who are faithfully perform
ing their work, a courageous and diligent
body Of men. The. acts of policemen
such as in this case brings the whole
police force into disrepute The first
duty of the law is to be lawful and not
to procure the violation Of law. The
officers own conduct is such as abso-
lutely to destroy the credit of his testi-
mony. It is obvious that his conduct
makes him unworthy Of belief under
oath. The taxpayers money is not to
be used for violations Of the law"
