Court In the case of Jin Fuoy Moy, a
Chinese doctor, of Pittsburgh It declared
tintonstttotlonal section 8 ot the act, there
by ripping out the .most efficient weapon of
Government agents against the "dope" ring
Because ot this decision it was necessary
to release many who had been sent to
prison. It wns no Jonger a crime to have
drugs In one's possession unless It was
proved that the defendant was a. dealer In
them.
"FIENDS" WIN AC5A1N
But a worso blow was soon to fall. A
few dayB later Judge Thompson, of tin
United States District Court. In disposing
o the Case of Thomas Ilowan and "Bob"
Martin, accused of being dealers In mor
phine and heroin, ruled that mere posses
sion was not even presumptive evidence of
crime. This destroyed almost the last
weapon ot Internal officers and the police
against the "dopo syndicate." It placed
them Jn the position thRt In order to ob
tain convictions they would have to pro
duce In court nctual evidence of sales. And
It Is very dlfllcult to prove a clandestine
sale.
In the case of Bowan and Martin more
than fifteen hundred dollars' worth of drugs
and drug outfits were exhibited before the
court.
District Attorney Kano argued that such
a. largo amount of drugs as was found In a
room maintained by Bowan and Martin
was presumptive evidence that the de
fendant were dealers In ruling that pos
session was not even presumptive proof of
a crime, Judge Thompson pointed out that
ho evidence of sales had been presented In
the case. On theso grounds ho Instructed
Ihe Jury to bring In a verdict of not guilty.
Under this ruling. Mr. Kane was com
pelled to Immediately nolle prosse more than
forty cases, several of which were similar to
that of the Bowan and Martin Rise. The
ruling of the t'nlted Stales District Court
caused a ripple of unholy Joy tu run through
the Tenderloin
Slnco the.so court decisions, police otllclnls
have Informed the writer, crime has In
creased to on alarming extent In this city.
Some of the hold-ups und lobberics of tho
most daring character have been traced to
"fiends." Tho spread of the drug evil among
tho sailors at the navy yard has been so
alarming that It has been made the sub
ject of nn Investigation by Federal Inspect
ors from Washington. Tho crippling of the

Captain Tate, of the City Hall Detective
Bureau, "was one of the worst things that
could have happened to l'hllndclphla.
urugg arc manufacturers ot criminals. An
Increase In crime could only be expected
after tho decisions limiting the efficiency
of the Harrison net The moot honest man
In the world would become a crook and 11
fiend under the Influence of narcotic drugs."
Lieutenant of Detectives Wood said:
"lately I have found that the majority
of men wo arrest for crimes are Mope'
users. Hold-up men, sneaktlilevcs, pick
pockets and shoplifters are all uslg the
stuff. Narcotic drugs clvu them a fai..
- nerve, and they take a 'shot' before they
V commit a crime."
Detective O'Connor said that fully 80 per
cent of the crlm nals arrested in this city
were "dopo" fiends.
"Formerly criminals stole so that they
could spend a few weeks of sporting life
with wine and women. Now they steal so
that they can keep supplied with narcotic
drugs."
Warden McKcnty, of the Kastern Peni
tentiary, said:
"We receive criminals hero from 3D coun
ties, and I have noticed of ate that drugs
was responsible for tho departure of many
of them Into n life of crime."
ASK CLERGY TO ACT
Such a wave of crime has followed wide
spread heroin and cocaine usage among
young men In South Philadelphia thai the
Madonna Roman Catholic Club of St.-Paul's
Catholic Church, Tentli and Christian
streets, has decided to call a conference of
clergymen of nil denominations in an effort
to stamp out tho "dope" evil In that section
of the city.
F. D. Springer, a merchant at 1G2G Tasker
street, said that the "dope" scourge hud be
come a menaco to South Philadelphia, "Un
scrupulous physicians in thin section are
writing thousands of prescriptions for young
dope' flend3 and unscrupulous druggltts are
filling them."
Lieutenant Noon, of the Fifteenth Street
and Snyder avenue station, showed the
writer" a drawer full of drugs and drug out-
u muui ma uetecuves and policemen had
confiscated from young "dope" fiends.
The only way I can get at the problem."
he said, "is to arrest them as disorderly
Fersons. This 1 am doing. I have In
structed my men to pull them In from tho
street corners. We arrested five yesterday
and sent them away. This Is all we fc.m do.
The courts have ruled that ft is not a crime
toJiavo druss In one's possession."
Since July of last year three sailors at
tached to the United States naval station
at League Island have perished from mir
cot c drug overdosing. Tho deaths brought
forth evidence that many ot the sallore on
the battleships stationed at League Island
were drug addicts, and had picked up the
habit In -Philadelphia Tenderloin. '
In the last eight weeks the places of six
wholesale drug concerns have been entered
and narcotic drugs valued at sevorul thou
sand dollars Htnlen. Internal revenue offi
cers and the police say that they are con
fident that the robberies were perpetrated
by young "dope" fiends. One of the place)
robbed was that of the wholesale drug store

Against this unexpected turn in the cham

Upset and fell down on his own putting, a
department of his game which Is usually
very bound.
The entire gallery, with the exception of
a few stragglers, took up the trail of the
Marston-Gardner match to see these two
giants of the golfing world after each
other's scalp, after the 12 months of brood
ing that botli have done over the match last
year which made Gardner champion and
mrew .-uarston in ine aiscara again.
Both had Infected left forefingers, which
m.tde their shots waver a trifle. Marston
chose not to bandage his digit, but simply
ccvered It with a section of tupe.
The gallery remarked many times on the
close resemblance the two gol' itars bear
to each other. Their features are very
similar and both have the same kind of
curly chestnut hair. They are both over
six feet In height, of cleanly built propor
tions and both were star athletes in their
schooldays. Gardner was Yale's premier
pole vuulter at oje time, while Marston
captained football, hockey and baseball
teams when he got his learning from text
books. They are both powerful hitting
golfers and know the game thoroughly.
On the first hole Marston missed his sec
ond putt and Gardner was 1 up. On the
second Marston landed in the rough, but
made a beautiful approach dead to the pin,
A misted putt lost him the chance to even
up Gardner's hole. Both men got Into dif-
nculty in the third. Marston went out ot
bounds, but by a fine approach he halved
the hole, Short putts in the fourth results

MOTHER'S PLEA TO LEAVE CASES
FAILED; PLAGUE PHYSICIAN DEAD
Doctor Peck Turned Deaf Ear to Offers and Prayers.
Stayed by Children Until Death Came
The pleadings of a worried mother and
an offer of a good salaried position with
a big corporation failed to lure away Dr.
Earl C. Peck, assistant chief resident phy
sician at the Philadelphia Hospital for Con
tagious Diseases, whose funeral probably
will be held tomorrow He died yesterday
from Infantile paralysis, the dlseake he en
deavored to check and which claimed him as
a victim after he had undermined his con
stitution In working over the 300 little
victims at the hospital. The body will be
buried here, and as Boon as cold weather
sets In It will be shipped to his home at
Newtown. Conn,
Friends of the young physician aid to
day that he seemed fated to die from In
fantile paralysis, as he Ignorpd powerful
forces which sought to draw him away
frpm the hospital.
Dr. E. I Bauer, of the staff of the Ger
man Hospital, Poctor Peck's best friend n
this city, today told of the Influences which
worked in va. n to prevent him from taking
up hU work In the Municipal Hospital.
The first great force was exerted by Doc
tor Pecft'e mother peveral months ago when
the young physician was contemplating
taking up the work In the Municipal Hospl
tal. Doctor Peck' mother had gone from
her home n Newtown to New York to un
dergo a serious operat'on. Her son was at
her bedside for several days following the
operation. Even before Mrs. Peck fully
regained her strength she pleaded with her
con to glv up bis idea of taking up the
-work of contagious diseases.
"Don't do it, Earf." she begged. "I baye
a, premonition that something wllj happen
to' you. if you do, It U dangeroua work
and I would rather have you do something
else."
Doctor Feck was touched by hla mother's
pleading, but b could not break away from
the .fascination, which "contagious work"
is said to bold for the young physician.
"I will talk it over with you. mother,
when you get well." he replied. He came
back to Philadelphia and his mother never
saw bun alive again.
Just prior to going Into the Municipal
Hospital poctor Pk i offered a. posi
tion as physician with tba American Bridge

If every child In Philadelphia were as
thoughtful ns these three little girls and
three llttlo boys, every suflcier from In

Tho children held a stieet carnival all

and asked the advice of his friend, Doctor
Bauer.
"What would ou do. doctor?" he asked.
"I told him," bald Doator Bau,er, "that
I would go to Pencoyd because there was
more of a future there. He pondered for
a little while, and then the fascination for
contagious work" got him again, and he
declined the offer from Pencoyd.
"Doctor Peck was afraid of the Infantile
paralysis plague. He told me so a short
time before he was stricken. Soon after the
epidemic started he said to me:
" This disease is unknown to us, and it Is
slaying Innocents with deadly precision
The mystery which cloaks the operation of
the disease adds to the horror of It. I used
to have no more fear of Jt than I have of
scarlet fever, but J have changed my view
I both fear and respect this disease, and I
shall take every precaution against It.'
"And Doctor Peck did take tyery prtcau.

he used antispetlc washes two or three

of the medical profesiion. All of bis
