TWO ARRESTED
ON NARCOINC
CHARGES
Metal Worker Accused Of Sec

Guilty Plea.

About an hour after he had
pleaded not guilty in Criminal
Court yesterday on the charge of
possessing narcotics, Robert Joseph
Clancy, thirty years old, 448 X

cupation as a metal worker, was
again arrested on the charge of
selling drugs. He was arrested at
Ninth street and New York avenue
northwest.
Detectives Evans and Sanders and
Internal Revenue Agent Rakusin,
who made the arrest, say that he
sold a small quantity of drugs to
an agent. He is being detained at
the First precinct and will have
a hearing today in the office of
United States Commissioner Mac
Donald, in the MacLachlen build

Joseph Earle Dickerson, twenty
nine years old, 1858 California street

on the charge of having narcotics
in his possession. The drug has

Separate Peace Offer
By French to Turks
Resented BY British
BY F. A. WRAY.
International News Service.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-AngIo- French
accord, which was endangered by
French invasion was again brought
to the breaking point today by news
from Lausanne that the French have
deserted the British and are offer
ing to make a separate peace treaty
with Turkey.
Although the foreign office issued
q statement saying that there had
been no break in the accord of the
British and French over the Near
East it is learned that Premier
Bonar Law is incensed by French
procedure.
The premier is said to believe
that Great Britain is put in the
position where she must retreat"
from her Near East program or
fight the Turks. In the event of
war it probably would be Great
Britain and Greece lined up against
Turkey. Turkey would stand no
chance Of victory, but could put up
stiff guerrilla warfare for a long
time.
For the time being the Anglo
French entente is not working. It
has lapsed, but is not officially
dead. Italy, fearing a general
European conflagration over the
quarrel between London and Paris,

LONDON, Jan. 31.-Great Brit
ain has accepted the American
plan for the payment of the debt
to the United States, it was Of
ficially announced this afternoon.
Pressure by Bankers.
1t is understood that the action
OF the cabinet in accepting the
American terms was due to pressure
from British bankers.
Sir Auckland Geddes, British am
bassador at Washington, has been
instructed to inform the American
Government of Great Britain's ac-
Ceptance.
The session of the cabinet was
brief. Before any official state
ment was issued. both the Central
News and the Exchange Telegraph
had circulated the report that the
British had decided to accept the
American debt terms.
Terms OF Settlement.
These terms, which were revealed
b. Stanley Baldwin British chan
ce1io1 OF the exehelI Ier, and were
exclusively cabled to the United
States by International News Service
last Saturday, provide for 8 per
cent interest rate for ten years. 1t
is mot certain yet whether the rate
will be raised to 3D. per cent or
whether negotiations on interest
rate will be reopened in 1888.

Acceptance by the British cabinet
of the American plan for funding
the 5000 ,000, 900 debt of Great
Britain to the United States will
be followed Immediately by a re-
quest to Congress from President
Harding for liberalization of the

up the debt problems between that
country and the United States"
Now up to Congress.
Smoot said the next move would
be submission to Congress of the
full American plan, with re-
guest that the law be so altered
the plan could be ratified and the
debt negotiations with Great Britain
concluded.
While he would not suggest the
time when the plea for Iiberaliza-

President Is Gratified.
News of the British acceptance
was transmitted to President Hard

President expressed qualification at
the successful termination of the
negotiations, but had no comment
to make.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon,
chairman of the American Debt

pleased at the announcement from
London, but would offer no com.

DR.. Leo L. Stanley, resi-
dent physician of San QUEEN
tin penitentiary near San
Francisco, says that unless
the importation and sale of

the youth of America will be
undermined mentally, ply
sically, and spiritually.
DR.. Stanley is making a
life study of the connection
between narcotics and crime.
He is keeping careful rec

charge and these records
show that SO per cent of the
men committed to prison for
crime began the use of drugs
before they had attained
their maturity.

Of sixty addicts in one study,

Three began at twenty-one, 4

three, 2 at twenty-four, and 2
at twenty-five.
Fourteen had become addicts
in early manhood, between
twenty-five and thirty, and 8 be-
tween thirty and forty.
One of these men took lauda-
mum when he was eight years
old-his parents started him by
giving him paregoric for earache.

years old. The doctor gave it to
