City Wide Open for
Sale of Narcotics,
Says Miss Mulhall
Tells of Increased Trade of
Physicians Who Traffic in
Drugs; Blames Abolition
of State Control Bureau

New York is to-day wide-open city
for the sale of cocaine. heroin, NOR
phine and opium, Sara Graham Mulhall,
for the last two years First Deputy
Commissioner of Narcotic Drug Con-
troll, declared at the West Side Y. M.
G. A. yesterday afternoon. She blamed
this condition upon the recent aboli-
tion OF the department with which she
was connected
This was done,' she said, "becausc
of the confusion of proposals and in
terests which followed a reasonable
move in the direction Of economy by
placing drug addiction under the
Health Department. Governor Miller
finally dismissed the problem by doing
away with the existing machinery with
out providingany substitute"
AS an example of the damage which
has already been done by the new law
Miss Mulhall declared that almost all
the sixty-fve physicians trafficking in
drugs whose business had been practi-
cally done away with by the activities
of the department in the last two years
were known to be conducting large
trade to-day. She spoke of one who in
1919 was prescribing $4,000 grains of
hcroin a month, in addition to large
quantities of morphine and cocaine.
A few months ago, she said, he was
prescribing $4,000 grains of morphine
and nothing more. This, she declared,
showed the value of the control which
has now been abolished.

Pastor Declares Sims
Follows Roosevelt Steps
Says He Rejoices in Finding
an American Who Puts
America Eirst

The Rev. DR.. Harry Knight Miller,
pastor of the Hanson Place Methodist
Episcopal Church, Brooklyn, in his SER
mon last night suggested that if any
retiring is to be done as result of
the speeches made by Admiral William
Snowden Sims, Secretary of the Navy
Denby and number of Congressman
"be nominated for that honor"
In his sermon, which was frequently
interrupted by applause, DR.. Miller
asked, as Secretary Denby amazed that
at last some one in government circles
dares follow the example of Theodore
Roosevelt and shame the effete, cow
ardly politicians, who while yelling
America first, put America last, and
who are afraid to rebuke the pestif-
erous traitors who bawl out their illit-
crate and vicious treason?
"If any retiring is to be done | NOM
mate Secretary DENLY for that honor;
or | might suggest a dozen or two Sena-
tors and Congressman who turned
traitor to their country to nurse and
coddle hyphenated voters. I thank God
that one man has the courage of his
convictions to speak out the sentiment
of rs per cent of the people of America
IN opposition to the 25 per cent who
have done all the speaking and made
all the noise"

Gunman Silhouetted,
Robbers Almost Trapped
Witness From House Opposite
Gives Alarm; Bandits Flee
i'm Shower of Bullets

The shadow on a window blind of
hold-up man pointing a revolver, OBJ
served by Floronz Mccarthy, of 2i0
West Eighty y-fourth Street, late Satur-
day night, almost resulted in the cap
ture of a band Of gunmen which held
up and robbed James Anastastio, of 209
West Eighty-fourth Street, opposite the
Mccarthy apartment. The latter, with
party of friends, had been lined up
at the revolvcr's muzzle in his home.
Anastastio, with Thomas Greenway
Herman Schwartz and Belle Conley, an
actress, were playing cards in the din
ing room of Anastastio's fiat. There
was knock at the door. When it was
opened four men entered. They or
dered the card players to stand against
wall. One of the robbers pointed a
revolver at the victims They were re-
lieved of money and jewclry totalling
in value $1,000.
The robber holding the revolver
stood directly in front of window
The blind was down and he was
slhouetted against it. Young Nc
Carthy was in room of his apartment

the street and gave an alarm. Meeting

building, Mccarthy grappled with him

Gleason's office in Poughkeepsie.
1t is his belief that the evidence
tended to strengthen. rather than
weaken the proofs of Guys's legitimacy.
The contradictory testimony of Mary
Kelly and Bernard Kelly about the
letter known as Exhibit B and the gem
eral confusion in Hugh Russells state
ments, coupled with the likelihood that
his previous statements on Mrs. Still
mans alleged admissions about Guys
paternity, will be stricken from the
records, make Mr.. Mack confident chat
his motion will be granted and ver-
dict returned in favor of the child. If
the osteopath's testimony is stricken
out there is nothing on the records di-
rectly damaging to Guy.
With this new development in the
case there is a probability that Mrs.
Stillman may never present her side.
Proceedings conceivably might be halt
ed if favorable decision is made as to
Guy. Mr.. Stillman is known to be re-
luctant to attend the hearings and face
choice if the suit goes on.
AS far as Mrs. Stillman is concerned,
no move will be made at this time, bar
ring the possible collapse of the entire
action. The defense is determined to
offset the statements of the ladder and
keyhole" witnesses. They will produce
witnesses of their own to refute the tes-
timony Of alleged happenings at Grand
Anse and try to prove that the charges
were framed up. After the presentation
Of their side, if the trial goes on, Mr..
Brennan will make the dismissal motion

witnesses have voluntarily come to the
defense of Mrs. Stillman
The report that Mr.. Stillman had set
tied with the mother of three-year-old
Jay Leeds for 100000 was denied yes
terday, but it served to bring a report
from Mrs. StilIman's friends that she
would Sue Florence Lawlor Leeds for
100000 for alienation of Mr.. Stillman's s
affections.
1t was admitted by these friends that
if Mrs. Leeds became a witness for
Mrs. Stillman, the alienation suit
might never be filed.
"If Mrs. Leeds has settled for $780,
900, she will need the money for her
self and son. If she has agreed to 90
to Europe, she could testify for Mrs.
Stillman before she departs. Her 60

Stillman bringing suit against her"

American Line Suffers
BY German Competition

German prejudice in favor of the
partly rehabilitated service of the Ham
burg American Line in conjunction with
the United American Lines is blamed for
the poor showing of the American liner
Minnekahda. which arrived here yester-
day from Hamburg with only seventy
two passengers.
She has capacity for 1900 in the
steerage, and is credited with being the
finest all-steerage vessel now operating
in the transatlantic service. She origi-
nally was with the Atlantic Transport
Line and carried about 200 saloon pas
sengers, livestock and cargo. When the
American Line took her over she was
converted into a de luxe steerage car
rier
Officers of the Minnekahda said the
Hamburg American line is advertising
extensively throughout Germany that it
is back in the trade and is operating
with the United American Lines. The
company urges all Germans or persons
with German sympathies to patronize
this service. This the officers hold re-
sponsible for the discrimination against
the Minnekahda. The American Line
has no German affiliations.
The Minnekahda brought cargo of
5000 tons, including large consignments
of German toys.

Woman Named by Peggy
In Chicago for Revenge
Charlotte johnson, Linked in
Suit With Joyce, Now Married
and Very Indignant
Spccinl Dispatch a The TribMn

CHICAGO, June 19.-Peggy Upton
Archibald Hopkins Joyce she of the vio-
let eyes and alleged hectic love affairs,
may look forward to u warm session if
Judge SABBATH rules she must come here
and submit to cross examination in
her petition to force her husband,
J Stanley Joyce, to pay $4,000
a month alimony and 100000 attorney
and research" fees. The research part
means the quest for other women with
whom Joyce is alleged to have been
friendly and also in finding witnesses
to refute his sensational charges.
Prominent among those who will
greet Peggy will be former Charlotte
Johnson, who is now registered here as
Mrs. Frank Gordon. She was and still
is a dazzling blonde. Joyce is alleged
to have bought her off when he de-
sired to marry Peggy. She is now
married. For time she and her hus-
band lived in Detroit, but later went
to New York, where he is engaged in
the dry goods business.
Mrs. Gordon is out for revenge. She
says she has nothing against Peggy,
but who ever dragged her into the
mess will have to suffer. She is in
fighting trim and means to make it
eXcitingly hot for the persons respon-
sible for digging up her past,
Peggy's lawyers are said to have
found another woman who is declared
to have figured largely in Joyce's af-
fections and on whom he is said to
have squandered large sums of money.
This woman is said to be living in a
far Western city, and it is predicted
she will prove highly important wit
ness for Peggy.
