Number Of Dope Users
SPEAKS AT BAPTIST CHURCH

Magistrates are aiding drug peddlers

dope users by their lcnient policy toward
addictS and peddlers arrested by the
police. according to Director OF Public
safety Cortelyou.
Director Cortelyou spoke last night in

h"Stnut street near Fortieth. The
tendency among the members of the
minor judiciary. he said, Is one of
Pnlency, even toward those prisoners
against whom the police have obtained
much evidence.
Director Cortelyou's address was the
second Of series to be given by direc-
tors OF the various city departments in
this church. Last Sunday Ernest L.
Instin, director Of the Department Of
Public Welfare. spoke of the work be-
ing accomplished by his department.

ciSm about the conditions in the Fifth
ward, but since the first Of this year
there have been more drug fiends and
drug peddlers arrested aud more drugs
contiscated in that vicinity than there
were during the last four years. That
should be of considerable satisfaction
to the people Of Philadelphia.
