Albany.-Satisfied that there is no chance of corralling the «soventy-six- votes necessary to pass the repeal of the Mullan-Gage act, the Democratic Benate Codes Committe is accused of trying to nullify the Mullan-Gege act by preventhig prosecutions under it. For some time that committee has had in its possession the bill Intro- duced by Assemblyman F. Trubse Da- vison, which passed the Assembly, prohibiting the double penalty for vio- lation of the Federal and State pro-. hibition acts. The Davisor bill would exempt a man from being tried twice for the same offense, if convicted in the Federal courts. > - Considerable mystery has attached to the failure of the Senate Codes Committee to report the bill, as there has been no opposition to it. How- ever, Mr. Davison said that the propo- sition had been made to him that he consent to an amondment to his bill, which would prohibit any one being tried under the Mullen-Gago act un- less he had been tried and acquitted in Federal Court. \Of course, that would merely mean the nullification of the Mullan-Gage act, and, of course, I will not consent to such an amendment,\ sald Assem- blyman Davison. . The motion to discharge th6 Assem- bly Excise Committee from further consideration of the Dunnigan bill, repealing the Mullan-Gage act was made by Assemblyman Cuyvillier. Mr. CuvilHer concedes that the likelihood of getting seventy-six votes for his motion is decidedly remote. It is for that reason, be explained, that ho has added the bill which would direct sheriffs to, at least once a month, search every farm house and buildings connected with farms for the presence of beverages containing more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol. L \I want to show these farmers who have hard clder in their cellars, and who are so anxious to have our city homes: invaded by the police that they, too, can be reached under the law,\ explained Assemblyman Cuvil- ler. \If the assemblymen from these farm districts are shown that they, too, can be subject to legislation, they will hesitate about inflicting hard- ships on people in the cities.\ & 'To End Drug_EviH In a special message to the Logis: lature Governor Smith called upon that body to enact legislation that would remedy the drug evil, as well as the growing need for more medical ald in rural communities. The Governor told thé lawmakers that he believed the belief was preva- lent \that the use of narcotle drugs is much more general than It really is.\ He also noted that It was \gratl- fying that the present control of the evil in New York City Indicates that so far as the criminal addict is con- cerned, the average ago has Increasod from twenty-two years to about twon- ty-nine years, This would seem to Indicate that during the period of the last six years, when there has bbe some form of control, the younger group is not so apparent among the criminal addicts. 'The percentage ta- ble also shows clearly that only about 11 per cont of the criminal addicts are femalos. Discussing the need of more physi- clans in the rural districts, the Gov- ernor said that statistics show that although the decrease it the number of physicians in rural ities was necompanled by a decrease in population In such localities, \the two are not proportionate.\ He told of his conferences with the physicians of the State in February and suggested that steps be taken so that when county supervisors not having first or second class cities un: dertake pibllc health work and make appropriations for {t the State should appropriate \dollar for dollar\. for such work or for the construction of community hospitals in rural districts. Would Help Farm Sections The message, In part, follows:\ \gickness Is no respecter of geogra- phical locations, and tragle conditions prevail in the more sparsely populat- ed areas of the State, where, especial ly in the winter months, {t is dificult for physicians to go, Pneumonia, influ- enza, maternity, contagious diseases take their toll under pitiful circum- stantes in Torm homses, while the city dweller, however poor or unfortunate, has hospitals and nursing services at hand, and never need experience the suffering caused by the lack of ade quate medical and nursing care that now falls to the lot of some parts of our farm population. \Personal poverty is not the cause. Inaccessibility in winter months, the | physician asked to see three or four ; patients, with widely scattered Rreas between each home, meaning long | drives over roads almost impassable I with snow and fee, and a dwindling farm population, insufcient to sup port a physician, are the generally prevailing causes. \Statistics gathered by the State Department of Health would Indicate that the number of physicians is de creasing in rural districts, as is also the population, but the two are not WOW and it is admitted on sides that It is necessary to find some method for securing and retain Ind adequate medical service. \Bmall community hospitals to serve rural districts where a phys clan would have the advantage of be- Ing able to take care of saveral pa- tents at a time and thus avold the long rides in the winter over dificult roads to scattered homes are looked upon as a helpful solution af the teed. Such small bospitals would provide & laboratory sed other facliities that would sttmulate the Interest of the physican and asset in attracting hi to remai= in sach communities.

Scores Sensational Papers \Agitating the community and in- creasingly forcing Itself upon our at- tention is the narcotic drug evil I am convinced that part of the agita: tion on thjs subject is due to the sen- sationalism of certain types of news- papers and magazines. Lurid, sensa- tlonal' articles, Intended to inflame the imagination of young people and to make the whole subject mysterious ly and morbidly attractive, have led to the prevalence of a belief that the use of narcotic drugs is much more general than It is really, \At the same medical conference the subject was discussed and based particularly on recommendations by the committee appointed at that con- ference and by other groups called in to advise me, I am transmitting to you legislation which I think will most the situation as it exists at the present time and enable us to go forward gradually to the aequisitioq of a body of information concerning the subject as It affects this Stfte. We will then be able to apply more constructive remedies as the situa- tion clarifics. Enright Sues Cuviiller Attorneys for Police Commissioner Richard E. Enright, of New York City, filed suit against Assomblyman Louls A. Cuyvillier, to recover $100, 000 for alloged slander because of the statements made In the Assembly by Mr. Cuvilller that Enright stood in with the bootleggers, was a grafter and ought to bo behind the bars. Assemblyman Cuviliier declared the sult was a joke. He bad no money, be sald, and he was exercising his constitutional privilege as a member of the Assembly when he spoke his mind about the police commissioner. He sald he would move for the dis- missal of the action, although he might as well ignorg It. The ever, alert David Hirsfifeld, Commissioner of Accounts, immedi- ately started an Inquiry \Into the Cuvillier charges\ and succeeded In establishing by the testimony of for- mer Inspector Thomas V. Underhill that Commissioner Enright was dili gent and upright in enforcing the prohibition law and that Assembly. man Cuvillier, by reputation, \most of the.time or very frequently is un- der the influence of fiquor.\ Republicans Ask Inquiry Republican members of the Assem- bly. resolved not to let slip such an opportunity, introduced a bill through Assemblyman Joseph Steinberg call- ing upon the Democratic governor, Al Smith, to Investigate the charges made by the Democratic assembly: man, Louis Cuvillier, against the Dem- ocratle Police Commissioner of NeW York, Richard E.

With the organization of the Maine Potato Growers\ Co-operative Associa- tion just completed, there has been taken the first step in 'marketing the nation's 350,000,000-bushel potato crop entirely through farmer's co-operative selling qrganizations commonly di rééted and controlled by one central body. Sixty per cont of the farmers who ready have accepted membership and signed contracts with the Maine asso- clation. They have agreed to send every bushel raised on their farms to the'! warehouses of the association for sale by It. A group of potato grow- ers met in Rochester a fow days ago and undertook the organization of a similar co-operative association among the farmers of New York State. The active work of organization will begin after the present growing season and the association is expected to be ready to begin selling by the time the 1924 crop is out of the ground. With the 1924 crop it 1g also ex- pected that associations modeled on the same Hnes will be ready to func- tion in New Jersey, Virginia, Minneso- ta, Michigan, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Idaho, Colorado and Utah. 2222. All of these growers' co-pperative associations will be linked up in a central body, which will direct the sales pollcy, the details of marketing, regulate the flow of the potatoes to market and designate the markets to which they are to go and generally= control the distribution so as to equal- Ize prices and conditions every where as a protection for the farmer. The Maine association and the groups being organized in other pota to producing states are all modeled after the Sapiro plan on which sim lar co-operation in tobacco, cotton, rice and other lines of farm produce have been built ring the last two or three years. Their object is, of course, to Increase the return on his crop to the farmer but as Aaron sa- piro, organizer of the California Frult Exchange and father of the plan ex- plained, not necessarily at the ex pense of the consumer. 'The speci- lators and middlemen.are the especial targets of the co-operatives. It was to Mr. Sapiro's office here that G. Herbert Foss, secretary of the Maine Association and Edward WW. Martin, county agent of Arcostock County, came with word that the or- ganization had already signed up sixty per cent of the potato farmers in that state, 'They described the conditions which had brought the conservative \Down asters\ into the new |co-0p- erative scheme, conditions which are said to be typical of the situation In which the potato farmers throughout the country have found themselves during the last three years and which have forced them to look about for some way out. Like growers everywhere, the Maine farmers found themselves unable to grow sufficiently large crops to supply the demand during the war years and the year Immedfately following the armistice. Potatoes kept mounting In price unt!l In 1919 they were selling for $8 and $9 a barrel on the farm and the wholesalers were getting $18 and $20 a barrel in New York and other large Eastern cities. There was a good profit to be made In growing potatoes at that price, auvery good profit, and more acreago was planted. So the 1919 crop, instead of producing the average yleld for the state of between 20,000,000 and 25,000,000 bushels actually jumped to about 37, 000,000 bushels. a NINE DEAD IN JAP 5CHOO®.
