The humane necessity of devising
some method of caring for non-crim-
nal drug addicts outside Of penal inst-
tutions is urged by Or. Ernest S.
Bishop in his annual report as consult
ing physician to the New York State
Prison Commission, made public yes
terday. DR.. Bishop is one of the fore
most authorities IN the United States
on the narcotic drug problem.
Besides recommending that non
criminal addicts be cared for outside
Of and away from the influence OF
prisons Dr. Bishop in his report pro
poses that the Prison Commission ar
range for non partisan review Of the
subject for the purpose of making pos
siolc improvement OF methods of han
ding and treatment within the prisons.
Along these two lines, in my opin-
ion he reported. Ole the immed lately

Dr. Bishops report was incorporated
in the report of John $. Kennedy,

Or. Bishops two recomm endations be
approved and an Investigation Of the
whole narcotic drug situation be un-
dertaken. Commissioner Kennedy re
ported:
THE whole situation as to the han
ding and treatment Of drug addicts in
New York City is q deplorable one The
treatment OF the criminal addict is
certainly not effective. as is shown by

HAY PRICE is ON INCREASE.

A steady advance in hay prices dur
ing October is reported by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The average price of No. timothy,
as reported by ten of the larger mar
kcts to the United States Department
of Agriculture advanced about 75c per
. ton, while the average price of alfalfa
at the principal markets advnced $2.25
per ton.
Scarcity of cars is given as the
principal market factor; the advance
on timothy was attributed more to
the scarcity of good hay in the mar
kets than by an increased demnad.
The surplus to be marketed was re-
ported to be larger than last year and
the demand from consuming sections
less because of the large quantities
of local forage available.
The marketable surplus OF alfalfa
was estimated to be less than for
the previous year, while the drouth
in certain sections of the West and
Southwest created demand OF suffi-
cicnt volume to have absorbed al
ready most of the market hay in near
bv territory Emergency rates e9 al
to 50 per cent of the regular rates
have been made by certain railroads
on hay for Texas and New Mexico
This will make possible the movement
of hay from Colorado. Utah and W.yo
