j. S. WILL FIGHT
NARCOTICS ALONE
Uniform AnaIyzing Method
to Be First Step in
Curbing Traffic.
Sy the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Dissatisfied with the results of in
ternational efforts to control the mar
cotic traits, the United States is strik-
ing out alone to combat illicit trade.
This was made known today by Dr..
H. J. Wollner, Treasury consulting
chemist, who revealed that the first
step would be the devising Of uniform
means Of analyzing narcotics to deter
mine their exact content.
After several international confer
ences Wollner said there appeared TO
be no standard method of analyzing
narcotics-the varying methods used
by different countries making it i'm
possible for one nation to gauge ac-
curately the volume of a seizure in
another. Thus, he said, the amount
moving in Illicit traffic was not known.
Wollner said that for some time he
had been working with a committee
of chief chemists of representative
American drug manufacturers and i'm
porters and scientific societies.
He said this committee was evaluat-
ing all the known methods of analyz-
ing narcotics, as well as all the
methods used in controlling smuggling.
From this information he hopes to
salvage the good points" in the vari-
Gus systems. which will be augmented
by the development of new methods
which are expected to be created from
his committees study.
The results of the study will be
placed at the disposal of all law en-
forcement bodies in this country. Woll-
ner said. SO the campaign will be
standardized on all domestic fronts.
The study will deal specifically with
morphine, codeine, opium and cocaine,
Wollner said.

MARK WEEKS.
TRAFF|CDRIVE
III Accidents allied
for 7 Days Against
Average of 100

Police ended their first week
Of campaigning against traffic
violators this morning at 8 a. m.
The score was 1928 arrests,
315 of which, including 81 speed.
ers, were made in the last "a hours
Of the drive.
In the field Of accident pre-
vention the campaign was not
overly impressive. For the seven
days I'll accidents were reported.
This figure showed a decline from
the average, but not so much of
decline as had been expected.
The normal weekly average is
about 100 accidents.
Fifty-nine persons were injured
while the drive was on, but only
two seriously. These were Joseph
K. Galloway, colored, 6, of the
100 block I st. N. w., who was
hurt near his home last Tuesday,
and Norman Webster, 8, colored,
of the 1900 block R st. N. w.,
who was seriously injured last
night by taxicab.
Highways Watched
With traffic conditions in the
congested areas appreciably bet
tered, Superintendent Of Police
Ernest w. Brown advised against
excessive speeding in outlying Sec
tionS.
To this end. Superintendent
Brown today ordered police to
watch all arterial highways in and
out of Washington in an effort to
cut down the toll of serious acct
dents which occur ON the outskirts
of the District every weekend Ac-
cording to Major Brown, the haste
of WaShingtonians to get to and
from nearby resorts over Satur-
day and Sunday is the basic
reason for the weekend miShaps.
There were only two traffic
accidents requiring hospital
treatment yesterday. One was
that of Major Alfred v. Dalrym"
pile, So, of the 37O0 block Con-
necticut Ave. N. w., taken to
Emergency Hospital after the car
he was driving rammed a retain.
ing wall at Thirty-sixth and
Yuma Streets Northwest.
Norman Webster, 3, colored,
of the 1900 block r st. N. W.,
who was seriously injured when
struck by a taxicab in front of
his home, vas treated at Emery.
ency Hospital for possible frac-
ture of the skull. The driver,
police said, was Lyndon L. Rize,
%, of the 2700 block Thirteenth
st. N. w., released in custody of
his attorney.

SIGNS DEMAND
REAL MEN ON
P. U.C.'
4 Pickets Start Off
Protest.; No Trouble
Anticipated

Taxicab drivers picketed the
District Building in protest against
the new rate schedule ordered by
the Public Utilities Commission
today.
There was no interference from
police.
After threatening for three days
to start the picketing, the picket
ers finally appeared at GAS this
morning.
Four cab drivers started march.
ing up and down in front of the
building, carrying signs which
read:
Commissioners EIgen and
Keech Double Crossed the Cab
Drivers"
1--WE Demand a Decent Rate,
Fair to the Public-Fair to the
Drivers"
Later two additional signs were
brought down, reading:
"The Cab Drivers Want Real
Men for P. U. C. Commits
sioners."
"The Taxicab Drivers De-
mand the Removal Of the Pub
lie Utilities Commissioners for
Following the orders of the
Cab-Selling, Cab-Renting Rack
eteers."
FOUR-HOUR SHIFT
Adolphe Hohensee, business
agent for the cab drivers union,
said the pickets would work four
hour shifts and the picketing
would be kept up indefinitely. He
said he anticipated no trouble
and expected no police interfer-
ence.
One policeman appeared shortly
after the picketers arrived and
took a post in front of the build
ing, but said nothing to the men.
Today's picketing and the plans
of the drivers to seek court action
overriding the P. U. c. do not a..
feet the cab-riding public at the
moment. For the present rates

Here to Stay
YOU can ride today and will
be riding for some time, according

zones, making Washington the

ALLEN IGNORES
PROPAGANDA
CHARGES
Denies Tale Soldiers
Home Is Under
Speech Ban

Saying, in effect, that someone
had been making mountains out
of molehills, Commissioner Allen
today characterized as of no mo-
ment the report that veterans at
the District Temporary Home for
Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines had
adopted and were preaching the
doctrines of Senator Huey Long.
He also repudiated a newspaper
report that Thomas ludlow, super
intendent Of the home, had re-
fused to allow freedom of speech
among the inmates when it came
to discussion of public affairs.
He admitted that "share-the-
wealth" propaganda had been
mailed out from the institution
last year, but that the practice
had been promptly vetoed.
Saying that residents Of the
home had no right to use it as
2 propaganda center" Commits
Sioner Allen added that what
ever they did or said outside was
of no concern to anyone but
themselves.
Upon learning that Mr.. Hud-
low had attempted to spike bonus
agitation among the inmates last
spring. by posting notices to the
effect that the names of anyone
overheard making derogatory re-
marks about any Federal or Dis
trict official should be reported
to him for disciplinary action,
Commissioner Allen said that no
regulation of the home author
lied such action and that it
would not be tolerated.

Ken Murray
Says:

The French police certainly
wasted no time in having Uncle
Sam arrest Bertrand Niedecker
on charges of embezzling &c.
100000 from his Paris bank.
Maybe he was only being
patriotic and trying to collect
the war debt.
Aside from the fact that it
was run by a foreigner, those
French depositOrs should have
become suspicious by the very
name Of the institutiOn-"Trav-
eIerS Bank"
Like the u. S., the French
government hasn't been very
successful with her Fighter
than-air" program She only
collected $3.50 from an Amer.
lean girl, who did a bubble
dance" but lost $6,OOO,OOO
