SUICIDE MANIA AMONG DOPE
VICTIHSJB FEARED TN CITY
Hospital Authorities Keep Close Guard on Drug Pa
tients in Hope of Preventing Unfortunates From
Ending Their Lives.
Extra precautions aro being taken to
day by nurses and attendants of tho
Philadelphia General Hospital to prevent
115 drug victims from ending their
lives. Tho patlent3 are confined in tho
nowly established "drug habit ward."
This ward was organized after tho Har
rison law, forbidding tho trafficking In
heroin nnd other drugs, which went into
effect March t
The extra guard to prevent wholesale
suicides of victims of heroin, cocalno
and opium was decided upon today fol
lowing personal observations mado of the
patients by prominent physicians and
specialists. The physicians said today
that In many cases attempted suicide fol
lows after tho drug patient Is placed
under treatment.
Kvery attendant nnd nurse who Is de
tailed In the newly organized ward has
received Instructions to keep an eyo on
tho drug victims and to carefully seo
that they do not confiscate knives or
other things with which they might make
an attempt on their lives. On retiring In
tha evening every patient is carefully
searched. Often tho mattress In tho cot
occupied by a patient is examined. This
Is dono because recently In hospitals In
New York, where drug victims are being
treated, broken glassesiand knives wero
found. Following an investigation: It
was disclosed that a number of tho
patients had formed a plot among them
selves to cut their wrists.
The suicide mania among drug vlctlrns,
It was said by physicians today, usually
follows nfter the patient lias ben de
prived of his favorite drug. Many of
tho patients who havo placed themselves
under treatment since the Harrison law
went Into effect. Superintendent Seltzer,
of tha Philadelphia General Hospital,
said, havo shown signs of Improvement.
A squad of patients who have Improved
aro known aV "Colony No. 1," and they
hava been Bent to tha Byberry Farm for
further treatment.
Among the 115 drug victims at the
Philadelphia General Hospital SO are men.
Seventy-nvo per cent, of the men are
between ha ages of 13 and The re
maining 25 per cent, ara btw b
ago of (50 and. 60. There are about 35
women patients. Fifty per cent, of tha
women patients are between the ages of
21 and 80. Tha other 60 per cent, average
EO years and over.
Victims of heroin and cocaine are
Booking daily to the Philadelphia, General
Hoepltal. Tha new ward U now taxed
to Its capacity. Superintendent Seltzer
eatd today that It the patienu continue
to come as fast a hey have been with
in tho past few days K wW be necewery

Every boy and girl In Philadelphia's

homo n four-year-old, flaxcti-liulred boy,
who was found lust September by n po
liceman on tho steps of St. Patrick's

Tho child, who apponra to bo unusually

that his namo Is Austin McCleary. Dili
gent search on tho part of the Philadel
phia and New York police has failed to
roveal his address or to dotermlno

For a tlmo early today physicians nnd
members of the family virtually aban
doned hope for tho recovery of tho Ilov.
Sanford M. Nichols, foimerly superin
tendent of tho Camden district of the
New Jersey Conference. Doctor Nichols
is much weaker than at uny tlmo since
he was removed to tho City Hosplta.
Philadelphia specialists have been called
ln consultation. An operation will be
ordered only ns a last resort.
said a youth, today, as he walked up to
the gate-keeper at tho entrance of the
hospital.
"Thoy are coming every day," sald-the
veteran keeper.
Pollco of tho 11th and Winter streets
Station, In whoso district many burglar
ies havo taken place within the last
few months, committed, It Is believed,
by drug victims, said today that tho new
law would probably result In a decrease
In crime.
Special Officer Thomas MacFarland,
who has been detailed ln the Tenderloin
for more than seven years and who
knows the faces of more drug victims
than any policeman in the city, said
today:
"Many of these drug victims, especially
tho men who use cocaine, never commit
a crime until they take a dose of the
drug, or charge themselves. After taking
a charge they become bravo and seem to
have more nerve. I know many cocaine
fiends who would never think of stealing
or committing a burglary until they havo
taken a snuff. Therefore, I believe the
new law will result In a decrease In bur
glaries In our district, many of which
havo been committed by drug fiends. On
tho other hand, I fear that many of theeo
unfortunate persons who won't go to a
hospital for treatment will become moi
rose and make attempts upon their
Jives."
Over at "Tho Arsenal," a little restau
rant at 10th and Winter streets, which
has been raided almost weekly by the po.
Jlco, a group of cocaine fiends sat about
tables today, drinking coffee and eating
cake. They discussed the new law and
spoke about other things.
A reporter of the Kvenino Ledger who
entered the place tried to Interview sev
eral of the women and men.
"What'B the use of agklng questions?"
said a middle-aged man. "The world's
against us." The man said no more.
He walked to the roar of the store, sat
down and burled his face in his hands.
One friend told us a few

UNITARIAN
CHRISTIANITY
True faith does not Imply the avoiding
3f all doubt. The unwillingness to doubt
Is dogmatism. The reat Infidels are those
who fear the spirit of truth. The Intel
lect of tho dogmatic man Is tied by his
faith. The man who trusts In truth and
seeks It may be called an Infidel, but he
Is free and truly religious. His character
ean generally be trusted even more than
the character of one whose faith consists
In belief in outer authority. It Is harder
to be true than to believe In any state
ment of truth. For a fuller expression
of this principle In religion you are In
vited to hear a series of sermons at 8
o'clock the next three Sunday evenings
as follows:
Wrch 14 "The Faith of VnbeJlef."
March SI "The Outcome of the Revival,"
March 88 "Manhood nnd Religion,"
