NEW YORK, September %.

NEW YORK, September %.
Charlie Chaplin has come to
New York to make his first
serious effort at drama.
The funny man who would
rather play Hamlet than create
laughs, has written and direct
ed a tragic moving picture. He
could not play it himself, for
the public would not take him
seriously. So he did the next
best thing.
He raised Edna Purviance,
his co-star in many comedies
the girl at whom he tossed
custard pies and whom he slap
ped with barrel staves-to the
role of tragical heroine. He
is serious by proxy.
Chaplin is making final ar
rangements for the opening of
1.-The Woman of Paris Mon

dream, the realization of serious
Complexes which arose while
making comedies. It is the

man commits suicide and the

DRUGS IN MEDICINE
BLAMED FOR DEATH
Patent Mixture Believed
Fatal to Two Marines at
QuantiC0.
INQUIRY Is UNDER WAY
Autopsy Reveals Trace of Some
Form of Narcotic in Body of
One Man.
INQUIRY is UNDER WAY

Some sort of patent medicine con-
tanning dangerous drug is believed
by officials at Quantico. Va, to have
two members Of the United States
Marine Corps there Saturday night.
Investigation now under way at
Quantico. instituted by Brig. Gen. S.
ID. Butler, in comand of the reserva-
ton, so far tends to show that Pri-
vate James S. Hartuett, Fifth Regi-
mcnt, and First Sergt. Francis j. Mall
10y. Tenth Regiment, had indulged
In pick ups. as the medicine was
known in camp.
Belief inclined at first to the theory
that the men, who were among a
group of seven taken to the dispens-
airy in serious condition Saturday
night, had been the victims of pols-
onous bootleg liquor, containing wood
alcohol
Think Death Due to Narcotic.
Officials at tile post said today that
condition of the body of Harnett
seems to show that the death was
due TO some sort of narcotic, probab-
lE contained in the patent medicine
referred to. Autopsy on the body OF
Malloy has not been completed. but

his death through the same causes.
Use of the so-called pick ups by
the men at Quantico is not new
thing. it was revealed today. those
at the reservation recalling the
death of Private Stetson several
months ago, his decease having been
due to the use of medicine with its
deadly dosage of narcotic.
Last week a shipment of bootleg
liquor came to a civilian near the
reservation. il was declared by OFF,
GERS. and it is believed that this has
been circulated among the marines,
but those in command were positive
in their statement today that the
deaths of the two soldiers was not
due to wood alcohol poisoning.
Not Due to Wood Alcohol.
by no means was the death of
Harnett due to wood alcohol" de-
clared Maj. Henry y. Manney, chief
of staff at Quantico, today. THAT
was our first opinion, but We have a
different view now"
a federal marshal at Alexandria
has a warrant out for one civilian
resident of Quantico in connection
with the sale of bootleg liquor to the
soldiers and watch is being kept
suspected of dispensing "hootch" to
the soldiers.
Vigorous use of the stomach pump
at the dispensary at Quantico Sat-
urday night probably saved the lives
of the other five soldiers taken into
custody with Hartnett and Malloy.
The patients were still in the dis
pensary today, but appeared to be
well on the road to recovery.
