WOULD CRUSH TRAFFIC

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11.-Judge Harry
8. McDevitt told the Grand Jury in an
address in Quarter Sessions Court to-
day that there were 10000 drug addicts
In Philadelphia and that they were sup
piled with narcotics by at least ! 900
dealers and agents.
Unless this traffic is crushed" de-
clared Judge McDevitt ut will soon
assume such ramifications that II will
be impossible to either eradicate the
source or stamp out the tributaries. 1t
is Incumbent upon you to give close
attention to the diligent effort now
being made to stamp out the Illicit
traffic in drugs so prevalent In this and
neighboring communities. 1t has as
sumed unprecedented proportions and
II menaces the health and safety of the
entire city"
The Grand Jury will act on indict-
ments being prepared by the district
attorneys office against drug peddlers
arrested on bench warrants issued by
Judge Monaghan in his crusade against
the traffic, as we'll as those against per-
sons arrested in the police roundup of
drug users.
Six of the alleged dealers to-day OBJ
tanned rules in the State Supreme Court
compelling Judge Monaghan, the district
attorney and the clerk of Quarter Ses-
sions Court to show cause why all the
proceedings against them should not be
certified to the higher tribunal. A rule
also was allowed asking the same three
correspondents to show cause why a writ
OF habeas corpus for the reduction OF
bail or discharge of the prisoners should
not be granted. An answer to the petit
ton OF the defendants will be filed later
In the week.

The fact that human genius has not
turned more frequently and resolutely to
the horse for inspiration presents
peculiar literary phenomenon. The an
clients regarded the horse as of divine
origin and attempted to express kinship
by the creation of the Centaur. No myth
was complete without its equine heroes
Neptune rode over the sea in a chariot
drawn by steeds with golden names and
brazen hOofs. PhPbus drove the golden
chariot of the sun with three white horses.

can do justice to the thoroughbred. To
quote Bret Harte:
II love my God the first of all.
Then Him that perished on the cross,
And next my wife, and then 1 fall
Down on my knees and love the
horse"
One can almost understand how the
Emperor Caligula came TO appoint his
favorite horse Incitatus a Roman consul.
No doubt the horse was more intelligent
than the disspated dandies of the Roman
court. Also one can sympathize with the
gentleman from Kentucky who on being
shown the equestrian statue of George
Washington said: "Ah. yes-and what was
the breeding of the horse?"
There is a pretty legend connected with
the ancestry of the racehorse. 1t appears
that during the time of Mohammed his
followers while crossing the desert suffered
greatly from the lack of water. Finally a

The modern racetrack is a world to it

will find plenty of evil if he looks for il:
