mitted at it's next meeting.

similar to dwellings,; that reserVa-
tions occupied by statues ana
memorials take the name OF Inc

that the names of streams, Ior>s
and historic points be given 10
adjacent parks when possible ana
that all areas he designated AS
parks, squares trlangles or clrcle9'
according to their dimensions.
Under these provisions East ana
West Potomac Parks would become
simply Potomac Park, and ROCK
Greek. Potomac Parkway would be-
come Rock Creek Parkway.
The commission also plans TO
annoint n committee to study the
sewer situation in greater washing
ton and to make plans for CO.

A short time later she ad-

ATTEMPTS To SETTLE
CRIMINAL ACTION BY
CASHPAY|NENT

= F
lords, show that nearly q 81, 900
in checks and cash were paid
by Miss Rubens to DR.. Citron
between September 81 and .Oc-
tober 25, 1928. Several checks
given in payment for these
professional services have been
held up at the bank.
6. Twenty-four of the pre-.
scriptions were written in the
name of Mrs. Ricardo Cortez,
Miss Ruben's legal name.
"These the doctor has filled
himself and then sold the mar
cotics to her for $780," a por-
ton of the State report on the
case reads.
Doctors Files
Although the reports on file
in San Francisco state that
DIR. Citron "has been selling
narcotics to Miss Alma Rubens
in the last few months (hav.
ing sold her some $1,3O0), the
doctors own records list the
debts" as "office calls, :"
"office visits" and "night
visits, at $25, $50 and $75
each.
Two Of these visits, one list.
ed on the 14th and one on the
18th Of October, carry nota-
tions "2 RX" and charges Of
$125 and 500, respectively.
The $125 charge is accom-
panied by a notation g. .Ntal

Couldn't Explain
Under date Of December Z,
1928, the State inspectors re-
port sent to San Francisco
offices declares:
"The doctor (Citron) told
Federal Narcotic Agent Mon
roy and Inspector Hugh Lene-
han, of the State board Of
pharmacy, that he never saw
(the relative in whose name
prescriptions were issued) and
that he had prescribed for her
twice, as noted in the bin, but
could not explain how there
were five prescriptions for
her. +"
Search Of the records at the
office of the State board Of
medical examiners in San Fran
cisco discloses an earlier re-
port, under date Of November
13, in which William A. Byrne,
assistant special agent, states !:
CDR. Citron admits selling
the narcotics and at present
the case is about to be COM
promised for $500.
Compromise Offer
Several weeks later, when
the Examiner began its inves-
tigation, Federal agents admit
ted that offers in compromise
had been made and that the
sum then under discussion had
been raised to $4,000. The
negotiations for cash settle
ment Of these alleged viola
tions Of the Harrison Narcotic
Act are said to have reached
a point where attorneys rep
resenting DR.. Citron conferred
with Federal and State agents
handling the case.
This, in brief, is a cross-see-
ton Of the charge against DR..
Citron by the State officials.

ported above is accepted by

these prescriptions you say are
forged seem to correspond to
the dates of house and office
visits you have listed in your
own books, with charges Of
$50 Or more a visit" DR.. Cit
ron was asked.
"Some prescriptions were
given by me to Miss Rubens
in good faith, and for ailments
/ thought she had. When ]
discovered that she was an
addict, l became suspicious
and dropped the case, he
answered.
Then DIR. Citron admitted
that .overtures looking toward
a compromise with the Fed
eral Government were dis
cussed with him. He also ad-
mitted that on one occasion
he did so to a drug store and
filled his own prescription
for the film actress.
She tainted
"That was one morning
when she tainted in my office.
She came there early in the
morning and called me from
my home. She was on the
floor, kicking, screaming and
in q terrible condition. /

store-in fact / walked a long
distance to find drug store,
and gave her the medicine be-
cause in my professional judg-
ment ] felt she needed it, u
DR.. Citron explained.
"But, doctor, if all those
prescriptions were forged, how
do you account for the charges
Of $50 and more for each visit
and for the fact that there
appear to be as many pre-
scriptions as the number of
visits recorded in your own
books I" the physician was
asked.
''Hard Case"
Il charged Miss Rubens
for the visits. She was a
hard case. She never called
me unless it was at all sorts
OF early hours. One or two
in the morning. She was a
hard case, and the charges
reflect that condition." he re.
piled.
These statements DR.. Citror
made early in the day.
Later, after consulting his
attorneys, he called the Exam.
iner and stated inasmuch as
no formal charge had beer
made and no accusation filed
against him in any court, be
would stand on his rights as

The Examiner has made
every effort to obtain Df. Cit,
