McDevltt Mid; "I had warned Ilendrlck
told Mm something of the misery h
h causing, He appeared to be shocked.
With apparent sincerity he nil: "Well. If
Hurt !a how the matter stands, I will never
writ another prescription. 1 am done vllh
h sort of business.'
u "When I walked out of his Inner office
I saw (wo young dope fiends. Ilendrlck
aid, 'Nothing doinr. hoys; you will ret no
tnoro proscriptions here.' A few days latr
I, found Ilendrlck was not sincere. Soon
after his Interview with me he wrote these
(inscriptions for heroin,"
Hire McDevltt exhibited ten prescriptions,
written by Doctor Ilendrlck. Commissioner
Jioiig said ho regarded the case a most
serious one and held the physician In $1000
nan ror court
McDevltt told the writer there were (If
r teen or twenty physicians In Philadelphia
doing n land orTice" business writing; nar
cotic drug prescriptions . for drug addicts
under the guise of curing them.
Now, as to the reduction treatment which
Is used by the ! D, Dopesters" as an ex
cuse to dispense hablt-fnrmlhg drugs. Dr.
Horatio C. Wood, Jr., chairman of the nar
cotic drug committee of the Philadelphia
County Medical Society, In testifying re
cently ns an expert, said the reduction
treatment was only successful when ap
plied by competent physicians In Institu
tions which have every provision for the
care of drug addicts. Jto offered this testi
mony ta the case of Dr. William B. Hoi
comb, Serentecnth street below Oxford, who
was hocused of writing prescriptions by the
wholesale.
SHREWD "REDUCTION" THICK
McDevltt explained the ramifications-ot
the reduction treatment A drug addict
calls cm a doctor and tells htm that he
wishes to be cured of the heroin habit
The addict will always say his dally dose
Is larger than It actually is, so that he can
accumulate a supply ahead or get supplies
for friends.
For Instance, we will say thatthe dally
dose of the mah Is ten grains 6f heroin.
He tells the "SL D. dopeiter" that his dose
Is twenty grains, and on that basis the
physician begins the "reduction treatment."
The flrei day the physlclnn gives his "pa
tient" nineteen and three-quarters grains,
the second day nineteen and one-half
grains, und so on until he has him down to
his actual dally dose of ten grains. Then
the patient goes to another doctor and re
peats the performance: McDevltt has found
fiends" who took the "reduction treat
ment" from tw6 or three physicians at the
same time. In this manner they obtained
a large supply of- "dope" for fellow addicts.
The Harrison act provides that a proper
ly registered physician may write prescrip
tions for narcotic drugs It the purpose of
these prescriptions Is within the legitimate
purposes of his practice. Dut the law
specifies that these prescriptions must not
contain more than two grains of opium,
one grain of morphine or an eighth of a
grain of heroin. Some of the prescriptions
written by Doctor Ilendrlck and filled by
the druggists, Toplan and Bayllnson, con
tained from fifteen to twenty grains of
heroin, according to McDevltt
internal revenue officers reqenjly found a
physician who had a class of boys nineteen
and twenty years pld who are taking the
"reduction" treatment' The physician re
ferred fondly to them as his "boys' bri
gade." When an. "11. D. Dopester" Is placed
on trial he always makes the defense lhat
he made a sincere effort to cure his "'pa
tients" by the reduction method. Included
among his witnesses are always some of his
victims. They swear that they were on the
road to a quick "cure" when the "treat
ment" was stopped by the arrest of the
physician. Tho "dope" fiend has only one
.mission In llfer-to obtain his dally supply
of "dope." lis will Swear his very life
away to protect 'and save from Jail his
doctor.
Revenue -officers have found that the tna--Jorlty,
jot "M. D. Dopesters" are ,dfrug
addicts. This explains why they have deJ
parted from the high Ideals of the medical
profession. A physician recently taken
Into custody was formerly one of the most
successful and highly respected practition
ers In the city. Uut addiction to morphine
dragged him down till ha became a drug
dispenser, with a dingy office on th . edge
of the Tenderloin.
McDevltt Investigated a drug store that
had filled nearly 4000 "dope" prescriptions
In a few weeks. Another had filled 2000 In
eight weeks.
THE DOPE PEDDLETtS
Great quantities of narcotic drugs fcre
distributed by peddlers In the' employ of the
"dope" syndicate. Take the caje of "Joe"
Hart, erstwhile proprietor of-one of the
parcotlo drug stations maintained by the
syndicate In this city. He was convicted
In the United States District Court last
March for having dispensed morphine,
heroin and cocaine and Is serving a sen
tence.
Among drug addicts Hart was known as
the "Dope King." Ha maintained a house on
Watts street below Vine. In this house
were many ingenious hiding places. When
, the place was raided thirty-nine packagts
ot morphine were found In a zlno tray
which slid Into one of the walls of a
bedroom. The opening In the wall was
covered by wall paper and the place was
further concealed by a picture bearing a
religious exhortation. There was uiro a
considerable quantity of heroin hidden In a
Bible. v The center of the book had been'xut
out to make room tot tho drug.
Hart supplied peddlers who had regular
routes. Eight or tea called at his h6us
vary day and received their "goods"
Through these peddlers Hart averaged 300
or $400 profit dally. He obtained a great
deal of his "dope" supply from Canada and
Mexico via tho smuggling route of the
"dope syndicate," which uses even coffins to
carry In the drugs.
,Klng Drown, who s also In Jail, was
another notorious dealer. Brown ran a
"station" In Providence court He had his
supply concealed back of electrlo bellsr In
caret closets, in laundry bags and under a
aiming noor. in oruer to slide back the
eor it was -necessary for Internal renue
eAcera to press a spring In another room.
Brown supplied ten or twelve peddlers, who
traered at) parts of the city, destroying
Umi health and corrupting the morals of hun
dreds of men. and women, tirls and bpys,
Dick Bansom, who Is serving a sentence,
was a peddler. He had what Is known In

Since last April a man's face, pressed
periodically against the wlndownane of the
dainty bedroom of three pretty sisters, the
Misses Anna, May and Theresa Miller, at
1512 Porter street, has frightened the girls.
The word "shoo" had no effect on him;
neither did a couple of feminine missiles.
So when the girls returned from work- Into
last evening, as usual, the face peered In
at them. May, garbed In n nightdress cov
ered by a bathrobe, conquered her timidity
sufficiently to rush for the alley, where the
man was seen. Theresa, slower of foot,
followed.
The man darted down the dark alley
and had almost succeeded In escaping when
May sprinted and caught him. He was still
struggling when Theresa arrived and be
tween the two they held him until Patrol
man Mute, of the Fifteenth street and Sny
der avenue station, arrived on tho scene.
Magistrate Brtggs sentenced the man,
who gave his name as Charles Dantmore,
of Thlrty-i econd and Market streets, to
thirty days In the county prison when he
heard the story this morning.

defect I have Is a slightly underdeveloped
left leg from my kneo down."
Tho enlistment of this volunteer caused
more than ordinary satisfaction among
health officials, who were touched by the
offer, coming, as It did, from a girl.
"There Is genuine chivalry In her offer."
one official said, "It undoubtedly will save
more than ono life. Many little victims
could be saved and many more spared be
ing crippled for life If other volunteers
would como forward."
SOLDIER OFFERS BLOOD
Another offer of blood was made today
by Allen Abbott, 44 years old, a former
T'nlted States regular soldier, living nt
Twelfth and Green streets. Abbott, who Is
a Chlcagoan, read the city health author
ities appeal In the Evening Ledoeii. His
blood will yield the "normal serum." as he
never contracted Infantile paralysis. The
"normal serum" Is also used In the treat
ment, 'To tell the truth. I've never been sick
with anything." said Abbott, who has a
good coating of tan from his eight years
of service In the Philippines and else
where. Two deaths and four new cases of the
malady were reported today, raising the
totals to 634 cases and 191 deaths.
The deaths:
SADIE KKANICEL, 13 years. 2410 South Frank
lin street.
MA1IEI, HROWN, 2 years, 3179 Susden'a row.
The Frankel case was reported today.
Other new cases:

A ban on the entry of all children under
sixteen years of age was announced-today
by Ocean City, N. J., which followed the
precaution taken August 21 by Beach
Haven and other Long Branch resorts. No
health certificates will be accepted, accord
ing to the notice, which was signed by T.
Lee Adams. Ocean City health officer.
Contributions to the Infantile paralysis
fund of the emergency aid committee, 1428
Walnut street, are gathering momentum
as the urgent need for treatment for the
rapidly growing number of convalescent
victims Is realized more and more by the
public. Where the first days of the cam
paign three weeks ago yielded from 1200
to M00 dally, now the dally contribution
soars above $1000. Today up to noon the
mall brought 11020, raising the total fund
to I10.8S1.22.
Two new cases were reported In Camden
today. The patients are Harry Griffin, 27
months, 2019 Federal street and Elmer S.
Leary, 31 months, 21 Marlton avenue.
A vigorous .campaign agalnBt garbage
p'ekers who sell to children the bits of
refuse they salvage from market and gro
cery garbage resulted today In the arrest
of an old woman, who was held by Magis
trate Coward In default of money for a
fine. The campaign la directed by James
F. McCrudden, chief of the Division of
Housing and Sanitation.
So urgent Is considered the need for
blood from persons who have recovered
from the disease that an advertisement was
Inserted In a newspaper today offering $100
per ounco of blood taken from a healthy
person -recovered from the plague. The
advertisement waa Inserted anonymously.
In care of the newspaper.
"The great pity of it Is that we have not
enough of the immunizing serum," jrald
Dr. Theodore Le Boutllller. who has charge
of the treatment at the Philadelphia Hos
pital for Contagious Diseases. "In emer
gencies we give patients who have received
an Injection ot Immunity serum a second
dose of normal serum from the blood ot
persons who have not had the disease. We
sate the Immunity serum for the worst
cases, and In every case where It has been
administered we can note Improvement"
