WHITMAN URGES
DRUG CURB

NEW YORK, Feb. 19 G.N.S0.
Present State narcotic laws are
inadequate and changes should
be made Immediately while leg
islatures are in session, former
Governor Charles S. Whitman Of
New York told the committees
of the World Conference on
Narcotic Education today.
The fourth annual meeting,
being held here, will continue
for two days.
Model Law Planned
Whitman also urged a model
law" for States on the drug
questions and gave an outline Of
such a law.
The outstanding point made
was that it would provide lighter
penalties for addicts when their
Offenses were only addiction.
Whitman said:
eve don't want to treat the
addict as a criminal. The need
for changes is immediate. De-
lay means stronger entrench-
ment of the drug forces and
the wrecking of lives that can
be saved by quick action"
Whitman voiced criticism Of
State laws which place no re-
strictions on the treatment Of
addicts by physicians.
Get 1t From Doctors
He pointed out that in some
States addicts may be supplied
with drugs by physicians to an
amount that they would take
themselves without medical su.

RoyaIist Cabinet Takes Helm
Amid Calm As King BaIks
Foes, Exposing Weaknesses

MADRID, Feb. 19 G.NSO.
With a cabinet of staunch royal
lists at the helm and King. Al
fonso securely seated on the
throne, Spain today looked for
ward to at least a temporary re-
spite from the political upheavals
which in the last week threatened
to transform the nation from an
absolute monarchy to. limited
one, or even into a republic.
The crisis, precipitated when
tthe Berenguer ministry was
forced to resign because OF the
political impasSe, was solved in
bold manner by the King, who
Outwitted his implacable foes and
grouped about him a mOnarchlSt
coalition government.
King BaIks Radicals
Aware of tottering throne,
Alfonso parried for time while
sounding out the loyalty Of his
armed forces, and, assured OF sup
port in that direction, thwarted
not only opposition hopes but
entrenched him more firmly than
before as sovereign Of Spain. he
gave anti-monarchial elements
every conceivable opportunity to
form a cabinet, thereby exposing
their inability to create a salts
factory government.
Ministry List Revised
A revised list of the new Span
ish ministry, announced yester-
day with two portfolios pending
was given out today by Premier
Aznar.
The cabinet includes the fol-
lowing:
Premier-Admiral Juan Bau-
tiSta AZnar.
Minister of State-COunt De
ROmanOneS.
Secretary of War-Gen. Da-
masO Berenguer.
Minister of Public Works
Juan de la Cierva.

Minister of the InteriOr-Mar-
quis De HOyOn.
Minister of JuStice-MarquiS

Minister of Marine-Admiral
Jose Luis Rivera.
Minister of Education-J
GaScOn Marin.
The new premier, 70-year-old
Admiral Juan Bautista AZnar,
selected and Swore in his minis
try, with the kings approval,
within three hours. The war
ministry's portfolio was handed
to Gen. Damasco Berenguer, thus
giving it the essence of military
support.
The new government promised
to outline its policy before night.
In all probability, its program
will provide for the calling Of

BUTLER TO QUIT
MARINE CORPS

CLEVELAND, Feb. 10 GN.S0.
Mai. Gen. Smedley D. Butler will
give up his commission in the
Marines next fall, it was learned
here today.
The general will ask to be
placed on the retirement list, and
will devote his time to the lecture
platform.
Announcement of General But
ler's intention was made by Louis
j. Alber, manager of a lecture
bureau. Alber stated:
General Butler has been
signed up for the season from
October, 1881, to May, 1892"
He added that the general
would retire only with the con-
sent of the President, however.
Washington officials already
have been notified of Buffers
intention to leave the service and
1t was expected his wishes would
meet with no opposition, Alber
indicated.
Announcement that Maj. Gen.
Smedley D. Butler will retire from
the United States Marine Corps
next autumn came as no surprise
to Washington.
General Butler informed friends
here several weeks ago that, IRE
spective of the outcome of his
"scrape" over the MusSolini Incl
dent, he would retire this year
and devote himself to private pur-
suits.
The colorful Marine also is
credited with political aspirations.
He is said to aspire to a Senatorial
nomination from his native State
Of Pennsylvania.

No Motive For
Mexican Suicide

A Mexican dance and drinking
party ended tragically for Luz Cas-
tillo, 31-year-old Mexican, when he
shot himself through the head with
shotgun Saturday night, dying
instantly.
No reason, other than that the
Mexican had been drinking, could
be found for his act. He was un-
married, and apparently in good
health. His friends. however, in
formed officers that they had con-
sidered him trifle queer.
Castillo was living four and a
half miles west of Imperial. He
was with a large party of Mexicans
who had just returned from a
dance in Brawley.
Getting out of the car after re-
turning from Brawley, Castillo
picked up the shotgun, walked
around the house. and fired the
shot which ended his life. Another
Mexican had just picked up a port
able phonograph preparatory to
playing record. The suicide was
entirely unexpected.
A coroners jury this morning
returned a verdict that the Mexican
died by self inflicted gunshot
wounds. The inquest was held at
IL o'clock this morning. The body
is in Arnold's Undertaking parlors
in Imperial.
