Protests Made Here
By Doctors Lessen
"Legalized Liquor

AUSTIN, July 20.-Protests Of the
Texas medical convention at
Brownsville failed to abolish the le-
gallzed drug store saloon, but are
reflected in a sharp decline in the
number Of doctors who will issue
whisky Prescriptions, records of the
Dean law enforcement bureau dis
close.
Approximately 200 doctors who
ksSt year took out permits to dis
pense liquor this year have refused
to continue their share in the bust
ness of dispensing legalized liquor,
the records show.
Last year for the first half Of
the year, 3,496 permits were taken
out, including all kinds, while so
Tar this year only 3,756 permits
have been issued.
These are not subdivided by kinds,
but the overwhelming majority are
physicians permits to prescribe Ii
quor. This shows d decline of ap-
proXimately seven per cent in the
number of doctors who prescribe IL
Quor.
1928 Figures
For the first half of 1923, on
which the c~omptroller's department
has tabulated its figures, 1886 per-
mits were to physicians, and 817 to
drug stores. The rest were to
whole salers, hospitals, laboratories
and manufacturing institutions US
ing alcohol.
At the same ratio, this year about
1900 doctors throughout Texas have
renewed their right to write whis-
ky prescriptions.
Limited by the Volstead law to
400 one-pint prescriptions a year,
this would mean that this year, 49,
900 gallons of whisky may be dis
pensed to sick people, or people
who convince their doctors they are
sick.
AS compared with this, last year,
a total of 129 800 gallons was dis
pensed. Figuring one pint per
jag this would mean a difference
of $4,000 "drunks" per year in the
state.
Uniform Decline
The comptroller's department has
not subdivided its permit records
by counties or cities, and 1t cam
not be ascertained where the sharp
est decline in doctors taking out
of permits has occurred. Apparent
ly it is nearly uniform v the
state, with a greater decline ratio
in smaller towns than in the larger
cities, it was intimated.
The state law does not limit. the
number nor the frequency Of liquor
permits; but this is controlled by
the Volstead law, doctors being linn
tied to 100 one-pint prescriptions
per quarter, and individual patti
ents" prohibited from receiving Ii
Quor prescriptions more frequently
than every 10 days.
Under this law, a man may le-
gaTly buy and drink 81 gallons of
whisky a year. if he can manage
to keep sick all the year around.

Neff to Announce
AS Candidate For
Governor In 1880

AUSTIN, July 20.-P)-Former
Governor Pat Nj. Neff of Waco will
soon announce his candidacy for
governor subject to the 1880 pri-
maries, r. B. Walthall, chairman Of
the board of control and former pri-
vate secretary to Neff. said today.
You may quote me as saying
Governor Neff will make the same
intensive campaign he made in
1920" Walthall stated. He is going
to offer himself again because he
has been importuned to do so by
many friends and because he feels
he cal be elected.
1T had been said that Governor
Neff would run if former United
States Senator Earle 3. Mavfield
offered as a candidate. There is not
anything to that. Governor Neff
will run regardless"
Walthall, who had said he in
tended to become a candidate for
lieutenant governor, said he would
likely devote his time to Governor
Neff's campaign instead Of seeking
office himself.
Walthali's term on the board of
control will soon end and he does
not expect to be reappointed, he
said.
Il have heard it said that Gov
ernor Moody will appoint John F.
Wallace Of league. chairman of the
house appropriations committee"
Walthall stated.

CHICAGO, July 20.-(PHigh-hat
gangsters here soon will be fighting
two super" detective bureaus that
science is setting up to strange
them.
Cunning gangster minds will be
matching wits against all the cool,
inciSiVe scientists Of two great uni
versities-the University of Chicago
and Northwestern. 1t will be a bat
tie Of the machine gun against the
laboratory.
Establishment Of these big shot"
detective agencies one at each
school, can be traced directly to the
bloody st. Valentines day on
North Clark street when seven men
met staccato death. Public horror
mounted swiftly and a jury of lead
ing business men probed the kill
ings.
Out Of their inquiry grew first
the crime bureau at Northwestern.
The University Of Chicago followed
at once, attacking the problem from
another angle.
Burt A. Massee, one of Chicago's
business leaders, was foreman Of the
coroner's jury and has been the
most active in organizing the crime
school at Northwestern. He OBJ
tanned an endowment Of $500, 900
for it from business men. 1t has
been pledged full cooperation by
police and the coroner.
The bureau plans no idle study
to stuff library archives.
1t will be primarily a place of
investigation" says Dean John H.
Wigmore Of the university's law
school.
Its aim will be to gather evil
dence and have it presented to court
and jury by men who have stand
ing IN their professions and who's
testimony will be taken seriously"
MaSSee explains. They will be men
VINO are under no political DONNA
ton and who cannot be bought.
The trouble now is that police
do not get scientific evidence. Much
evidence is obliterated when a DO
lceman arrives on the scene. De-
tectlVeS can be trained in the bu-
reau and the entire department in
Structed IN preserving evidence"
