HOUSES DRUG MEN'S IKE. i \ "Wiley Calls Them "lh>pers" at Pure | So Food Hoard Hearing. Washington, March 21.?Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, appearing to-day as a W private citizen before the pure food ed board in advocacy of a regulation 110 guarding very strictly the use and j \vi sale of opium, morphine, cocaine and j ap other habit-forming drugs, aroused j ag< the anger of drug representatives by | on referring to them as "dopers." A W. heated argument ensued and for a ha moment it looked as if blows might dis be passed. After several interchanges Dr. Wiley consented to withdraw the th< term of "dopers." but said he would tio still insist on calling them "manu- at facturers of poison." 27 "For that," he added, "is what tic you yourselves are willing to have ins these drugs and preparations con- tio taining them called." lar Manufacturer Protests. As snnn as the former chief chem- ^ 0 ist had used the word "dopers," J no. lei J. Hueeny, of St. Louis, a manufachc turer of saccharine, was on his feet, clll' objecting. "We came here." he declared, "to * be given a hearing: we are respectable manufacturers and we do not want to be insulted. I think the board should compel Dr. Wliey to withdraw his remark." of "I refuse to withdraw it," replied 0v< the doctor. tin But after a discussion by several the present, with whom he said he had jihad pleasant relations. Dr. Wiley gjr modified his language. mc Urge Exceptions. Soi The representatives of the drug we manufacturers argued that exception me should be made of preparations con- on taining only small portions of opium, ind morphine, cocaine and other drugs an< named. They held that there were Sm so many of these preparations scat- the tered through small drug stores all be over the country, that it would re- J quire years and be a heavy expense me for the manufacturers to have all tes marked with skull and cross-bones, gai as the regulations of the pure food j ten board would require. j Tei Dr. Wiley declared that the manu- bre facturers who had been making the Sid profits should pay whatever costs* era were necessary to protect the public ati< from the drug habit. ( "May I ask whom you represent?" titi said Mr. Hough, of St. Louis, when the Dr. Wiley appeared. rea "One Private Citizen." the "I represent one private citizen," was the reply; "somthing new at these hearings, but which I hope will be frequent in the future. "As to the drug manufacturers' argument that small quantities of opium, morphine and cocaine are not harmful, it would take a million Coi Hague opium conferences to convince j *n me that the small amounts should | the be allowed. Nothing is better than bo? small doses as a means of fostering tha the drug habit," said Dr. Wiley. Att Dr. A. R. D. Dehme, of Baltimore, bo? representing the National Association of Manufacturers of Medical pro- ?er ducts, recommended that a law be ko? passed placing control of the drugs fur objected to in the hands of the in- tut ternal revenue officers, thus doing qui awav with the necessity of a regula- Pa] tion, which he declared was impracticable and expensive. ter ne} ANOTHER CHANCE FOR BRYAN? tioi His Nomination Not Impossible, BR Think Many Democrats. Wc Washington, March 22.?Many of the wisest of the Democratic mem- ^ bers of congress regard very serious- . ing lv the suggestion that Mr. Bryan may arv be selected for a fourth time by the * Baltimore convention as the party's ^ candidate for president. They do not ^ believe the Nebraskan would refuse me the nomination if it were tendered ato him, in the event no other man now mo in the race could land the prize. At the same time, many who for- , ed merlv supported Mr. Bryan for the nomination express the opinion that ^a] to choose him again would be a bad ^ blunder.
