DRAGGED AWAY
BY POLICE AND
SHERIFF

SHEPHERDSTOWN, w. Va,
Feb. with an American flag
flying from the top of the last
big cedar tree on her property
and her arms wound about the
trunk, Miss Serena K. cambridge
made O gallant but futile stand to
save the tree from destruction at
the hands of State agents. They
cut the tree under the State law
which provides for destruction of
cedars as a preventative against
cedar rust in apples.
Before the choppers could cut
the tree Mis- cambridge was pro-
tecting it was necessary for State
Trooper Roger. Sheriff M. S. r.
Moler and Patrolman Robert
Shipley to pull her away from the
tree and carry her off.
Braved Their Axes
All day Miss cambridge had
been interfering with the cutting,
1t was charged. She was twice
taken in charge by the officers,
once for interfering with the men
employed as agents Of the State.
Her method of interference was
direct and certain. She merely
went to the tree that was being
cut and placed herself between
the notch being cut and the axes.
This attitude was varied by other
tactics, which included taking
tools and throwing them into the
Potomac River. it was said,
Miss cambridge, within the past
few days. purchased the property
on which the cutting was being
done. She produced ownership
papers in a Justices court, but
with the completion of the cutting
yesterday the choppers believe the
war waged by Miss cambridge to
save cedars is ended.
Had to Garry Her
On her first arrest she was
taken before Justice Moler here,
who saw that punishment was
futile. When arrested she re.
fused to- follow the officers to
town. She made no resistance,
simply sitting still on the ground.
The officers finally carried her
to the car and took her to Shep-
herdstown, but released her. Later
she was back at the battlefield,
trying in vain to halt the cutting.

PROTEST FIN {
To R|TCH|E

TAKOMA, PARK, Md. Feb. 7.
A vigorous protest will be made
to Governor Ritchie by Mrs.
Charles w. Thompson, of Ethan
Allen Avenue, Takoma Park. be-
cause of $1250 fine levied
against her son, John, by Judge
Wilson, in police court here, Mrs.
Thompson declared today.
John was arrested Wednesday
by Sergeant Burdine, of the Mont
gomery county police, charged
with driving without an oper-
ator's permit. He appeared at a
hearing the same night before
Judge Wilson and was fined.
Terming the fine "exorbitant,"
Mrs. Thompson said she was writ
ing to the governor, because it
is impossible to get justice in this
town" She had protested to
Judge Wilson, she said, but gave
up when the jurist threatened
her with arrest for contempt If
court because of her vehemence.
Three more citizens of Takoma
Park paid fines last night for
driving cars carrying District OF
Columbia tags. They are George
M. White. Chestnut Avenue; Har-
ley B. Buckingham, Takoma Ave
nue., and Clarence L. Busch, Cleve-
land Avenue. Bruno A. Brock,
Ridge Avenue, was dismissed
when arraigned on the same
charge.

INSURED TAXED
TWICE, CHARGE

Life insurance policyholders are
being subjected to double taxa
ion throughout the nation. the
70. S. Chamber of Commerce
charged yesterday.
Out of every $24 raised by
taxes on premiums. the States
are spending only 81 to maintain
their various insurance depart
'mentS. The remaining $23 is
used for general revenue purposes
for which the policyholder al
ready has been taxed, according
to a survey conducted by the
chamber.
State taxes on insurance are on
a flat percentage basis, it was
pointed out. The amount of in
Surance taken out has increased
enormously, while the tax rate
has remained stationary. Thus
the revenue has increased to
more than 20 times the amount
needed to administer the State
insurance departments, it was
stated.
Insurance tax receipts in all
the States last year totaled $685.
1891, while total expenditures
for insurance departments were
only $3,956,708, the chamber
found.

LEAGUE ADOPTS
PLAN To CURB
" DRUG. EVIL
By JAMES T. WILLIAMS, JR.

BY JAMES T. WILLIAMS, JR.
Copyright. 1880. by Universal Service. Inc.
GENEVA, Feb. T. The sub
committee Of the League of Ma
tions' advisory committee on traf.
fic in opium and other danger
Gus drugs completed and ap-
proved its report last night, and
will distribute it today.
The report outlines q plan
giving effect to the assembly'S
resolution calling upon the ad-
visory committee to submit plans
for limitation Of narcotic manu-
facture.
Production Ignored
The assemblys resolution did
not authorize the committee to
submit plans for the direct con.
troll Of production, which Is why
no mention Of that Is included
in the report. The report says:
ANY plan for the limitation
Of the manufacture Of drugs
depends for success as much
on the support Of the, non.
manufacturing countries, or q
great majority Of them, aS on
the adhesion Of the manufac.
turing countries.
"The subcommittee felt that
It was entitled to proceed ON
the assumption that any work.
able plan will receive the sup
port Of the communicating
countries.
"True, one Of the most Inn
pOrtant manufacturing cOun-
trieS-the United StateS-is not
officially represented on the
advisory committee, but the
subcommittee feels assured that
any workable plan for the
limitation Of manufacture will
receive the sympathetic con-
sideration Of the United States.
United States Impedes Traffic
"It must also be borne in
mind that the present policy Of
the United States places very
severe restrictions on the ex.
port of drugs, with the result
that drug manufacturers in
that country do not supply. ex.
cept to q small extent, the
world market,
"In the general discussion of
the advisory committee three
fundamental points were indi-
Gated:
81. The fixatlon Of the total
amount Of drugs to be manufac-
tured annually.
"2. The ALLEGATION Of this
amount between the manufac-
turing countries, and
"3. The distribution Of this
amount so as to ensure each
consuming country that it viii
receive the amount required
for its medical and scientific
needs"
Illicit Trade Hit
Production to supply the illici
traffic would. so far as can b
estimated, be excluded. EacI
government in each manufaG
turing country is to undertak
to enforce the quota allocated
Each manufacturing country
to make the amount required 70
medical and scientific needs an,
is to have its quota fixed Of
that basis.
Even In countries with q
modern system OF medicine the
use Of drugs may vary to .
considerable extent; one coun.
try may have use for more
cOdeine and less morphine,
while another will be the other
way around. A large part Of
the population Of the world is
without a plan Of any kind"
France and Germany may n
serve approval of the report: tn
attitude of Germany is uncel
tain. The United States is no
committed and will remain s.
until the Governments observer
