Mr. he Witt, but take Issue with you

BLOWS EXCHANGED
 IN GOLF ARGUMENT
Senator Robinson and DT, Mitch.
 ell in One Round Exhibition

Washington, June 20--Two versions Were floating over Washington today of fiG: light between Senator Jo- seph T. Robinson of Arkansas. demo- cratic leader in the senate, and Dr. Joseph r. Mitchell, surgeon, which occurred yesterday on the golf links Of the Chevy. Chase club.
 Tine clash Was brief and in it's cou1se Dr. Mitchell was struck once and fell to the ground. Senators Thomas J, Walsh of Montana, An drieus Jones of New Mexico. and John E. kenirick of Wyoming, were playing with Senator Robinson, while Edward Clifford. former assistant sec retary of the treasury and his son ac- companied Dr. Mitchell.
 Those who took the part of Senator Robinson said the trouble occurred after the Mitchell party ha been held up from coming through inc green on the twelfth hole. on which the senator ial foursone was playing. At that time Senator Walsh was searching for a lost ball. X member of the Mitchell party. it was said, called for permis- sion to pass through and it was granted. On the way to the next tee,
New Britain herald., 1924-06-20

some sharp words were passed on the subject of golf etiquette,
 When the thirteenth tee was reach cd, the feeling had progressed to such an extent that the two men came to blows.
 Cliffords version Was that the threesome, in which he was playing, was held up by the foursome ahead. and that he had stepped Up to tell Senator kendrick that no offense had been intended, when Senator Robin son and Dr. Mitchell came together He added that he held Dr. Mitchell while Senator Walsh took charge of Senator Robinson, when it was nec- cssary 10 separate the combatants. Play then was continued.
 There was d disagreement over the incident immediately preceding the actual physical clash. Some of inc witnesses said Dr. Mitchell had made q remark when play was about to be resumed and the argument Was about to be settled peaceably. Dr. Mitchells friends said this was not the case. Clifford was quoted as having said that Senator Robinson complained that the threCsome's conduct had been "insolcnt,"
 Dr. Mitchell last night said he had no comment to make, while Senator Robinson said the incident was fo }, regretted. At the club offices it was said no report of the encounter had I, ,ached the officials

SENATOR IS
 ANXIOUS ID PAY UP
Thinks France Should Settle Debt
 to America

| Paris, June 20.--General TaEiflieh, senator from Alsace, believes France should hasten settlement of her debt to America. Writing in I'lntormation today, he declares:
 Instead of persisting in our cqui- vocal attitude of debtors hardly in q hurry to settle their scores, we should without delay engage in pourparlcrs for payment. Our willingness to pay should manifest it self in tangible fashion, by starsing an account in our budget, for example, entitled 'rclm- burGemcnt of our war debt to the United States which we would credit with certain sums, however small they might be.
 An accord being thus realized Tn principle. it is not doubtful That America would grant us consideration in payment for the future and nor atorium for the present To France 5 probity America will always reply with generosity. Therefore let us give the world, and Germany particularly, ar example of our rectitude In husl- ness. We shall be that much strong CT in exacting strict application or 'ne experts' plan from Germany.

The report states that under the
laws it is practically impossible for
physicians to treat successfully opiate
addicts, except in few comparatively
normal cases.
The majority of physicians. says the
report, are afraid of the law in drug
addiction cases. and, in elf-protec-
ton, decline to treat them. This con-
dition is forcing many addicts to
whatever treatment they may get at
the hands of the peddler and the
smuggler.
There is vast difference, the re-
port says. between the addiCtS to
opium, its salts and derivates, and CO.
caine, which. while a habit-forminS
drug. is an Indulgence and not a dis

LOS ANGELES, April l6.-There are
approximately 100000 drug addicts
n the United States. That is practi-
cally l per cent of the entire popula-
ZION, or Il per cent of the adult pop
ulation. But despite this fact, the
drug evil is not showing unusual
growth.
These are the high spots of the re-
port on a drug survey just completed
