CHINESE AND FAT MEN
HOLD LEAD IN HONESTY
CHICAGO, July 9.—The average
man is honest, though profiteering
and crime is unusually prevalent,
Dr. Wiliam B, Forbush, head of a
national surety company and presi
dent of the National Honesty
Bureau, told about it in a public
address.
"The Chinese race is the most
honest in the world. Fat men
are more/ honest than lean; mar
ried men are more honest than
single; old men more honest than
young men, and women more hon
est than men.

PRESCRIPTION
CONTROL
Favorable Judgment
Based Upon Drug Restric
tions Decision.
•
In asking the United States Su
preme Court to uphold the right of
Congress to fix the number of
liquor prescriptions which physi
cians may issue, the Government
expects to base its appeal on pre
vious decisions which favor restric
tions upon the use of opiates and
drugs, it was learned here today.
Both in direct decisions and by
inference, the Supreme Court has
already sustained the limitations
established by the. Harrison anti
narcotic act on the quantity of
drugs reputable physicians may
prescribe. Officials of the Depart,
ment of Justice believe that a
precedent has been thus establish
ed that will result in the reversal
of the Federal district court in
Montana, which ruled that it wag
a violation of the Fifth Amend
ment to the Constitution for Con
gress to tell physicians how much
liquor they could let their-patients
have.
His defense in the lower courts
was use of the drugs in question
being recognized as necessary and
proper remedies and lawful the
quantity used must be left to the
discretion of the legitimate and
reputable physician. This amount,
he contended, would depend on the
extent *of practice of each physician
and the method of treatment em
ployed. The Government argued
its right to control the quantity of
drugs, charged Dr. Miller with ex
cessive use and with misuse of the
drugs, and secured his conviction.
The United States Supreme Court
refused to review the action of the
lower court, denied the appeal
brought by Dr. Miller, and permit
ted the conviction to stand.
The prohibition laws, like the
Harrison narcotic act, recognize the
legitimate use of liquors for me
dicinal purposes, but the enforce
ment agenices in each case sought
to prevent abuses in legitimate use
by restrictions on physicians. In
the case of prohibition these restric
tive regulations were written into
law by Congress when it passed the
Campbell-Willis act. This states the
number of prescriptions a physician
may have for issuance, and the
maximum quantity of liquor to be
given a patient in a given period.
At the last term of the Supreme
Court, Dr. Simon Miller, of Vicks
burg, Miss., convicted of having an
excessive quantity of drugs for use
in his practice, appealed to the
highest court for review and re
versal of judgment. Dr. Miller
challenged the right of the Govern
ment to control him in the legiti
mate practice of his profession by
limiting the quantity of drugs he
should use.

the Argonne," who reached Buffalo

and, when the former President

BEAR MOUNTAIN. N. Y.. July 9.
—The higher type of Government is
only possible where the higher type
of citizenship exists. Assistant Sec- 1
retary of the Navy Theodore Roose
velt declared here today in an ad
dress before executives of the Boy
Scouts of America.
“Our country is a republic based
upon an ideal of equality of oppor
tunity for all.” Roosevelt said.
“There is one way, and one w.iy
only that we can maintain this
Government and develop it to its
proper fruition, and that is by build
ing’ up the future generations
morallv. mentally and physically, to
an even finer type”
Defending the preparedness plans
of the Government, Roosevelt said
they were made with a view to
minimizing war.
"We know what war means,” he
declared. "We are not hypocritical
and we don’t say that there will
be no more wars in the future. We
wish that were true, but we know
it is not. We do believe that in
the future wars we may have, this
country will be just
"Wo want men in this country
who will never declare war lightly,
who will use every legitimate en
deavor to prevent war, but who,
nevertheless, will face war rather
than dishonor, and who, when they
face war, . will handle themselves
as their forbears have handled
themselves through five Victorious
righteous wars”

'Love Was Motive for Killing of
Dorothy Kauffman, Police
Now Believe.
By International News Berries.
' SCARSDALE, N Y.. July 9.— New
mystery today curtained the ap
parently unsolvabie "motive” behind
the murder of pretty twenty-one
. year-old Dorothy Kauffman, Men
t nonite girl, stabbed to death at the
country estate of Magrude Craig
head here.
"Did the murderer —a rejected
suitor, perhaps a religious fanatic
seek some letter or document in
Miss Kauffman's possession?”
Sheriff George Werner, in charge
of the investigation, asked this ques
tion today.
Imprint Is Found.
The bloody imprint of a thumb,
clearly marked on the Jid of a sta
tionary box in which Miss Kauffman
treasured love messages couched in
deeply religious language, gave rise
to the new theory.
The box lid was found beneath the
bed in the room where Miss Kauff
man had been stabbed to death.
The box, with its love messages,
was in Miss Kauffman’s trunk.
Miss Kauffman was known in
the Scarsdale district as a girl who
never cared for men. Yet, in her
treasure box, Werner found not
only love notes, but the writings
of the girl herself—sentimental
verse, and essays on subjects deal
ing with love. ,
A mysterious "Roy” appears to
have been closest to the girl’s
heart. Most of her love poems
are written around this man. One,
reads, in part:
"But Roy dear is so loving and
kind,
"That ’Mary’ really doesn’t mind,
"Hand in hand, arm in arm they
go
"Sweethearts cooing like doves—
" Don’t tell me Roy can’t love.”
Another phase of the inquiry has
directed Werner to seek the reason
why Miss Kauffman serving as
principal of the school at Shell
town, Md., gave up her position to
become a servant.
The girl told friends here that
“disagreeable conditions” had caused
her to give up her position.
Seek Mysterious Man.
It was learned today that a mys
terious man had visited Miss Kauff
man at the Craighead home daily.
He said the man came from "The
South.” He told several persons in
Scarsdale and was "stopping in
New York.”
While authorities are seeking to
run down these leads they have not
abandoned the original theory that
the girl may have been slain by a
negro, although Miss Kauffman was
not attacked, nor was anything of
value taken from the Craighead
home. '
Five men—four negroes and one
white youth—taken into custody
since the murder—have all been
absolved of the crime.
THOOPSMUGHT
FOR Sfllltf
INORIENT
Only Recruits of Proven Char
acter Wanted Because of
Drug Danger.
The army is now seeking recruits
for the Fifteenth infantry, stationed
at Tientsin, China, it was stated at
the War Department today.
As this regiment is quartered in
close proximity to troops of Great
Britain and Japan, and the unit of
the United States Marine Corps on
duty at the American Legation in
Peking, recruits must undergo an
unusually rigid examination before
they are accepted.
Because of the ease with which
intoxicants and habit-forming drugs
, are obtained in the Orient the War
Department has directed the ac
ceptance of only veterans whose
previous records were excellent or
recruits with good education and
sound moral balance.
Recent disturbances in China have
also made it necessary for the United
States to be extremely careful of
the type of soldiers who are sta
tioned there to look after American
interests.
