tnej hoped "Pitchy would
turn up in His old hnunts. From the
hour he lied nil the known marts of the
drug traffic have been searched nnd

Oeorge Hllss, driver of the van in
which "Pitch" was to have been taken
from Moynmcnsing Prison to the House

police say he Is one of the most active
peddlers of drugs downtown, working
always below the "deud lines," nnd

through his attorney to get his trial
postponed from time to time. The first
trinl date set for him wns Februnry 7.
This wns set back week by week until
he was tried March -1.
Though he had ?4000 worth of drugs, I

SPRING, THAT'S ALL!
Poets, Brooks, Meadows, Blue Sky,
Sunshine, Dreams
The world Is full of spring poets to'
dny. The most eloquent of their free
verses js: "Gee! This is some !
weather!" Hut their hearts are metrl
cal and sing madrigals and odes.
And deep within every man is a de
sire to go and fish. This is true also
of people who never knew rod nnd line
and don't care for fish or fishing any
how. With some of them the desire Is
merely to have n thinking part in the
fish drama and to be n part of the'
scenery. They hnve no difficulty In
visualizing the scenery purling brook,
green meadow, budding trees, bright
sun, blue sky over which white fleecy
clouds scurry. The drenm drnmn hns
lots of atmosphere and it is permeated
with tho scent of the awnkenlng earth
carried on a fresh sweet breeze.
Yes, ma'am ! As we remnrked before,
this ls some weather. And there isn't
one of us wdio isn't willing to ndmit that
spring fever is worth having and
worth Indulging, If there is hulf a
chnnce.
Tlie hottest March 11 was In 1S1W
