Govt. Presses Md. Race Horse Drug Probe
ST|MULANTS
OFTEN GIVEN
HORSES

Federal narcotic agents at Bal
timore are continuing their inves-
tigation of the drugging Of horses
at Maryland race tracks, but the
arrest of DR.. Guy H. Dennis,
Havre de Grace veterinarian, in
connection with the drugging Of
a horse at Laurel, is the only one
expected in Maryland.
This assertion was made yeSter-
day by Harry Anslinger, United
States commissioner Of narcotics,
shortly after DR.. Dennis had
pleaded guilty in Baltimore to a
charge of issuing a prescription
illegally.
Released on Bail
The plea of guilty was entered
by the veterinarian before Louis j.
Burger, United States commits
sioner. He was releasd in $1,000
bail for temperance Wednesday.
Commissioner Burger said he
scheduled the further hearing be-
cause the defendant wished to
make a statement explaining why
he issued the prescription.
The investigation so far has re-
vealed that drugs we're admins
tered to horses at the Bowie, Havre
de Grace, and Pimlico tracks last
spring, according to Mr.. AnSlinger.
Law in Case Cited
He added. however. that no ar
rests were contemplated in con-
nection with these drugstore"
races, as it has not been estab-
lished that the Harrison narcotic
act had been violated.
This act, it was explained,
covered the unauthorized issuance
of prescriptions, the possession
and sale of narcotics not in origi-
nal stamped packages and similar
offenses, but did not have any,
thing to do with the administering
Of drugs to horses.
The Maryland investigation-as
well as those being made at New
Orleans, Chicago and other places
throughout the United States
was discussed at a meeting in Mr..
Anslinger's office here, attended
by John o. Williams, of the Bu-
reau of Animal Husbandry, De-
partment of Agriculture, and
Harry Stringer, secretary of the
National Thoroughbred Associa-
ton.
Specific Charge Made
The specific charge against DR..
Dennis was that he issued a pre-
Scription for a drug to be used by
Marcus Cooper, negro horse
trainer and owner, who is said by
Federal officials to have used the
preparation on horse called
Golden Rock-which ran last in
the first race at Laurel Octo-
ber 13.
Cooper, according to Simon E.
Sobeloff, United States district at
torney, has admitted using the
drugs he got on the prescription
to give to plug"
Following Cooper's admission, a
warrant was procured by Joseph
Bransky and Boyd Martin, mar
cotic agents, and was served Tues
day on, DR.. Dennis.

crossed up, let the ball roll until
it crossed the foul mark near the
third base sack. Ruth followed by
hoisting to Dave Harris in right.
Chapman's speed as a base run
ner stood him in excellent stead
in the Yanks' second when he
travelled all the way from first to
third on Lazzeri's slow infield
single. This bit enabled the YankS
to score a run a moment later as
Dickey's single dropped over
Cronin's head safely.
Weaver did some nice pitching
to retire the Yanks without a run
in the fourth. Gehrig opened
the frame with a double. Chap
man flied to Harris, but Lazzeri
beat out a slow roller to Bluege,
Gehrig going to third. Here,
Dickey, took a third strike while
Crosetti ended the inning by
grounding to Cronin.
Bluege barely missed getting a
home run in the Griffs' fifth
when, with Schultz on second as
a result of his walk and Kuhels
sacrifice, he shot a drive towards
the leftfield stands that was foul
only by inches. Not to be out
done Ossie followed by slugging
single to left which scored
Schultz with the tying run at
that stage.

Without question, he is the best

If the pitching is any good at

AS a whole, Washington's in

Now don't faint, but here's the
answer: "A card game" An
other of those supersitions, but
ball players will get 'em and be-
lieve in them until the very end
of time.
Waged for Weeks
It seems in this instance this
card game has been going on
between Goose Goslin and Gen.
Alvin Crowder during the past
two or three weeks. And every
time they've had time to engage
in a game, the Griffs have always
been triumphant that day on the
ball field.
1--WE didn't get in one Of our
card games on Monday, the
first day we hit New York."
CrOwder confessed in the club
house after yesterdays final
contest of the series with the
Yanks. Therefore, we dropped
a double header. But Tuesday
we did play and we won. We
played again yesterday and we
won again."
Card game, superstition or what
not, the GriffS won from the
Yanks again yesterday and by
doing so were able to leave Got
nam three games in first place,
the same advantage as when they
arrived in New York last Monday.
Ruth Tries Fast One
Maybe there's something in the
cards after all. Crowder and
Goslin believe so anyhow.
"Old Man" Ruth almost pulled
a fast one in the first inning
With j. Sewell on base as a result
of his single, the Bambino pushed
down the prettiest bunt you ever
would want to see, but Bluege,

"ALTHOUGH betting men all

The Governor and other adj

they expect early action on
their plan to reduce the county

them from the gasoline tax
funds and asserted that they
believe opposition to having
the funds administered by the

LAME DUCK SESSIONS
ELIMINATED


The United States has finally
eliminated the flame duck"
sessions of Congress by ratifi-
cation of the goth Amendment.
The Twentieth Amendment.
is now written into the Con-
stitution declaring that after
this year both the President
and the newly chosen Congress
shall take Office the January
following November's election,
and that the old short session
which so long has clogged the
political machinery with it's in
effectiveness, shall be held no
more. The present one is the
last.
Thirty-six States of the
Union ratified the amendment
in less than onetenth the time
it took to convince Congress
that the Country demanded
abolition of this numbering an
tiquity.
Missouri completed the rati-
fication, selling the distinction
of being the thirty-sixth ap-
proving state.
Presidents heretofore have
been elected for a term of a full
four years. Mr.. Roosevelt, by
the ratification of the Twentie-
tn Amendment to the Constitu-
tion, suffers a loss of forty
three days. He will take Office
on March 4 next, but his term
will expire, not on March 4,
1887, but on January 20 of that
year. Thereafter the complete
four-year period will be re-
stored.
The Twentieth Amendment
ties up the Inauguration of flu
ture Presidents with the organ
izations of future Congress.
Thus the election of 1896 will
embrace Congress as we'll as
the Presidency. The terms of
members of the Congress then
chosen will begin on January
3, 1887, seventeen days before
the Inauguration of the Presi-
dent. Everything is changed
from the 4th of March to the
3rd and goth of January. How
ever, Congress is affected by
the Amendment two years
sooner than the President.
The next Congressional cleo
ton will occur in November,
1884. The Congressional term
will begin on January 8, 1885.

GOVERNMENT COST s77.5s A
YEAR PER CAPITA

The average citizen who
paid $68.27 in taxes in 1922
paid $77.53 in taxes in 1881,
according to authoritative fig
ures published by a subcom-
mittee of the House Ways and
Means Committee. Further
more, each member of the
average family paid $77.53-it
was not restricted to the bread
winner alone.
If the family was the normal
American family of five, then
the average tax in 1881 reach
ed the considerable sum of
$387.65. People with larger
incomes of course paid more,
the figures show, with proper
tionate increases for each adj
ditional member of their fam
lily. This was the average per
capita cost of government in
the United States-not only
federal government, but state,
county, city and local govern
ment.
Some of these taxes came in
a lump sum, and the taxpayer
probably protested them; some
of them were sales taxes, like
that on every gallon of gasO-
line bought, and the taxpayer
paid them unprotestingly,
while other taxes we're con-
cealed, and the citizen never
knew he paid them.
Such are some of the figures
collected and submitted TO the
House subcommittee in a
searching survey. described by
Representative Fred M. Vinson
CD, of Kentucky, as ''the most
comprehensive tax study ever
compiled"
The figures show that taxes
in the aggregate have not come
down but have increased in the
business decline, at least up to
1881, and that because of the
increased purchasing power OF
the dollar, the burden imposed
is really much heavier than
previously.
Federal taxes in 81 brought
in $2,428, 100000, or $19.77
per capita from the public;
state taxes, $1,967 900, 900, or
1892 per capita; county tax
es, 1858, 100000, or $3.50; city
taxes, $2,97S, 100000 or $24.26;
local taxes, $1,1S8,0O0,00O OF
1898 per capita.
