Stars of Turf Start in Rich Stakes To-day Sir Barton Will Meet Pick of Derby Field in Test for 3 Year Olds BALTIMORE, May teen of the very best three-year-olds in training have been named to start in the rich Preakness stakes, at a mile and an eighth, at Pimlico to-morrow afternoon. This richest classic of the Maryland rich as the Kentucky Derby in all save at? tracted unusual interest this year. An added fascination has developed as a result of the unexpected ana generally unsatisfactory running of the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs last Satur? day afternoon. the sensational Derby winner, Com? modore J. K.

L. Ross's good colt Sir Barton, will meet the presumed pick of the Derby Field, as well as many other high-class performers that have shown rare foot in Maryland, but which were not sent West for the richest nurse of the Blue Grass belt. It is true Billy Kelly, the stablemate that ran second to Sir Barton at Churchill Downs, will not face the barrier in the Preakness. He, a gelding, is ineligi? ble. It is likewise true that Under Fire, which hustled Kelly for the Derby place, will not go.

But Eternal, recognized as Juvenile champion in 1918, and Vindex, of the P. Whitney stable, both of which ran so disappointingly in the Kentucky Derby; Dunboyne, Routledge, On, Over There and several other aris? tocrats will be on hand to give Sir Barton an opportunity to prove that his sensational victory of last Satur? day was not a fluke. Existing weather conditions favor a fast track for to-morrow, under which circumstances P. A. Clarke's 1918 Fu? turity winner, Dunboyne, will un? doubtedly go to the post as public choice.

Like Sir Barton, Eternal and Sweep On. Dunboyne will shoulder 126 pounds, but under the impost in his trials he has shown such wonderful foot as to satisfy most everybody he should be up to his best at the weight. Though the good filly, Milkmaid, as well as Sir Barton, will represent Commander Ross, early indications are that the Ross entry will scarce likely be better than third choice with the public. W. R.

Coe has a great repre? sentation both in a.uantity and quality in Over There. Terentia. Sweep On and Natural Bridge. Then there are those who have lost little faith in Eternal, despite his performance in the Derby attributing his failui-e to racing luck or unusually bad track conditions. Eternal, as well as Vindex, will not be overlooked.

The Preakness will be practically as rich in value as was the Kentucky Derby, as $20,000 is to be added to the 53,000 fixture. Toronto Sticks to Lead Bv Defeat of Newark TORONTO.

Justice Collins Suggests Drink Dispensaries Also Liberal Allowance of Alcohol in Patent Medi? cines Is Advocated as an Antidote to Prohibition Fears Drug Evil's Growth Dr. Glueck, of Sing Sing, Agrees With Him in Chari? ties Conference Discussion "Drink dispensaries" and a liberal allowance of alcohol in patent medi? cines were advocated as antidotes to the prohibition law by Cornelius F. Collins, Justice of the Court of Special Sessions, speaking at the tenth annual conference of Charities and Correc? tions at the United Charities Building yesterday.

The subject was "After the Saloon? What?" Judge Collins's pessimism as to the baneful effects of prohibition created a stir in the audience, com- I posed largely of women welfare work- ers. They found a spokesman in Dr. L. I. Harris, however, who jumped to his feet.

"It is most astonishing, most ex traordinary," he exclaimed. "We come here to listen to a discussion of 'After I the and we hear no mention of the facts that after the sa? loon we shall have a lessening of pov? erty, disease and crime." Judge Collins explained by saying that his speech was really in reply to the query, "After the saloon, what evils, if any, must we guard against?" Worse Evil Than Alcoholism The Judge urged that if prohibition were'strictly enforced it would bring a worse evil than alcoholism upon the community in the increased number of drug addicts. "Fanatic interpretation of the law, I which would allow no aicohol at all for beverage purposes," ho said, "would lead to such dire results that we hope the extremists may not have their way. There are many occasions when a phy? sician sees the need of medical stimu? lation; it' by reason of bigoted law? makers he is not allowed to administer alcohol as a stimulant drugs will to be used, and a slight indulgence in drugs is much more likely to cause drug addiciton than is the same pro? portion of alcohol to cause alcoholism. "I foresee that patent medicines, which arc largely a combination of alcohol and drugs, are going to be quite popular after July 1.

"The quantity of drugs allowed in patent medicines is now greater than would be safe if these medicines were to become popular beverages. Legisla? tors should be liberal as to the propor? tion of alcohol in medicines and limit the proportion of drugs. Should Prepare at Once "It will not do to wait until a formidable necessity is upon the com munity. We should prepare at once to see that the laws which aro made i to inforce the prohibition amendment I are regulated by knowledge of social conditions, rather than by fanatical zeal for a reform. "We know that the worst menace to the community is the chronic alcoholic who becomes a drug fiend, and we know that the alcoholic will become a drug addict if he cannot obtain al? cohol.

Therefore it is inconceivable that the state will be so obtuse as to prevei.t physicians prescribing alcohol to chronics. "Perhaps we shall have drink dis? pensaries? Certainly the prescription alcohol should be officially super vis.d. A stated quantity, nough to last for a long period, could per? mitted in this case, which cannot be allowed in the case of drug distribu? tion. "The lawmakers, too, when they come to define need not insist on a limit which precludes the possibility of intoxication. It is to be hoped that they will permit some degree of alconol in liquids for gen eral consumption that will not b.

If wo have a strict, hysterical enforcement of the prohibition law we shall be con? fronted with the danger of drug ad? diction, beside which the evils of al coholism fade into insignificance." Dr. Bernard Glueck, director of the I psychological laboratories at Sing Sing I Prison, who followed Judge Collins, agreed with him as to the perils of drug addiction, and urged that certain beneficent influences of the saloon and the engaging human qualities of the bartender be reorganized into some helpful form of social activity. Franklin Chase Hoyt, presiding jus? tice of the Children's Court, opened the conference. He was followed by Dr.

Royal S. Copeland, Health Com? missioner, who declared the two great? est public health problems were mal? nutrition of children and the drug evil. Dr. Copeland then delivered an at? tack on the Narcotic Commission, which he said was evidently "suffer? ing from narcosis, or sleeping sick? ness," for it had failed to contribute to the solution of the drug evil. "I trust that this conference will take some action," he said, "that will put some dynamite under the state department so we may get some ac? tivity from it.

Your conference can confer no greater public good than this." The evening session was devoted to "War Labor Problems," and the speak? ers were George J. Gillespie, Miss Juliet Stuart Poyntz, B. Edmund Davis, a silk manufacturer of Pateroon, and William 0. Thompson. League to Enforce Dry Law Is Incorporated Purposes of Allied Citizens of America Are Defined by President W.

"Jelly-Jag" Is Doomed, Say Revenue Agenti Eat it solid if you will, but a cock tail's a cocktail. That is the view the internal revenue agent's office the "jelly-jag" concocted by Dr. Joh C.

Root Says Roads Must Be Assured Of a Fair Return Tells Missouri Bankers Fed? eral Incorporation Is Un? necessary and Would Lead to Government Ownership ST. LOUIS, May feature of the afternoon session of the Missouri Bankers' Convention -a to-day was the reading of a letter from Senator Elihu Root, counsel for the National Association of Owners of Railroad Securities, by the president of that as? sociation, S. Davies Warfield. In a discussion of the details of the Warfield "profit sharing" plan for re? turning the carriers to their owners Mr. Root declared that some provision should be made to prevent the con? tinuance of the steady progress toward bankruptcy which characterized the decade before the government took over the operations of the railroads in 1917.

"The whole system of rate regula? tion and the whole business of trans? he continued, "rest upon the necessity that rates for competing roads shall be the same. Yet rates so low aa to prevent the most favorably situated railroads from receiving ex? cessive returns for their service will ruin the bulk of the railroads of the country, while rates so high as to per? mit the bulk of the railroads of the country to live will give to the most favorably situated roads returns that the American people will not stand for. Our present law leaves that difficulty as an insuperable obstacle to fair rate making. "If Congress follows your suggestion and fixes a fair rate of return for the railroads of each rate making district as a whole and requires the rate mak? ing authorities to fix rates which will presumptively yield that rate of re? turn, and then requires that in case any particular, road makes more than fhe prescribed return, the excess shall be taken by the government and dis? posed of equitably as you propose to promote the public interest in trans? portation, there is no reason why rail? road credit should not be reestablished and railroad development proceed promptly, and with it the development of the business of the country." Predicting that they would mean ul- timate government ownership Mr. i Root called unnecessary and mis- chievous plans that would compel Federal incorporation of the railroads, and added: "There is really only one avowed purpose which could be accomplished by that plan and that is to withdraw i the railroads entirely from the juris- diction of the state commissions.

The state commissions ought not to be de- stroyed. The people along the lines of the railroads in the several states ought to have their near home bodies to i which they can go for a redress of grievances against the railroads. They ought not to be compelled to go to Washington for that purpose." In concluding his address Mr. War field said that Mr. Root's analysis showed the utter impracticability of attempting to correct the difficulties i of the railroads by providing machinery based upon securities to be issued by new and larger regional companies.

Thousands in Rush To Send Food to Friends in Germany Announcement That Ship Will Carry Consignments: Meets Quick Response I From Anxious Ones Here i Thousands of Germans and German- Americans throughout the country are I i taking advantage of the announcement made by the American government that persons desiring to send food to friends and relatives in Germany will be per mitted to do so. The provisions will be taken to Hamburg in the steamship Thala of the Balkan-American Express and Navigation Company. The ship will sail May 25. The offices of the company, at 25 Broad Street, are crowded every day with applicants. The company has advertised the sailing of the vessel in many cities of the country and as a result has been swamped with shipments.

Among those who appeared yesterday was a boy in the uniform of the United States army. He called with his sister. They want? ed to send food to brothers in Ger I many. They belong to a family of ten sons and two daughters. Three of the brothers served in the German army and three on this side joined the forces of Uncle Sam.

The boy wore I two sen-ice chevrons. Persons making shipments are asked to give at least two addresses, but so uncertain are many of the shippers whether their relatives are alive or not that they give the addresses of three or four persons. Many of them ask that the food be given to the German government for general distribution if the persons named cannot be found. When the Thala unloads her cargo in Hamburg it will be by a forwarding, concern there. As far as possible, it will be delivered through? out the country on army motor trucks rather than run tho risk of the present uncertain communications on German railways.

Sendera aro cautioned not to include anything but foodstuffs in the cases of shipment, and to make an absolutely correst statement of contents. First Dry Bar ti Has Brass Rail To Fool Thirsty It Looks Like a Saloon, Has a "Barkeep" and Every Appurtenance Ex? cept the Familiar Kick Salvation Army Runs It Experimenters Seek Other Sites, but Proprietors Say, "We'll Keep Selling" Something akin to the excitement and tension that in the past have marked the opening to settlement by the government of a territory known to contain raw gold is visible at pres? ent in the attitude of churchmen, so? cial workers and business men who, in spired by varied motives, are seeking a substitute for the "ersati bar" of a bono dry nation. July 1, when every saloon in the United States must close, unless Presi? dent Wilson at an earlier date pro? claims the war ended and the army de? mobilized, is the earliest that these business projects, adventures and social experiments may be ex? pected to sprout in this new field. None of them wants to compete with th- magic bottles of real saloons. Whether they shrivel quickly after the start under a withering overhead ex? pense or blossom with dividends de? pends almost entirely on the shrewd ncss'of the men who thus attempt te guage human nature.

Dry "Bar" Already Here Only one serious effort is being made, in New York to conduct a dry bar in competition with the 6,955 drinking places that are facing disbarment through the. action of the Sheppard amendment and constitutional prohi? bition. This is an experiment in brass foot rail psychology being made by the Salvation Army in The Argonne, its hostelry for service men in Forty seventh Street, between Sixth Avenue and old King George Hotel. Adjutant Samuel Wood, in charge of the hotel, rested one foot on the brass rail before the old King George bar yesterday, leaned an elbow on Cue mahogany and ordered a beer substi? tute as thirstily as ever any "horrible example" of the Army or? dered booze. There were no other cus? tomers.

It was 5:30 o'clock. "We haven't much patronage from outside the hotel," he explained. "Many discharged service men come here, though, in addition to the men wh are still in uniform. This canteen pays us -better than our cafeteria ad? joining. The biggest crowds are at night between 10:30 and midnight, after the theatres have closed." They Line Up Three Deep Fred Seller, the eighteen-yenr-old "bartender," who is the son of a Buf? falo Salvation Army major, resumed where Adjutant Wood left off.

He said: "Sometimes at night the men ars lined up in front of the bar thro-? deep. The piano is going with some jazz tune. One night we to.k $40." All the old barroom fixtures hav been retained. A fern in a big flower pot and a catsup bottle occupy places of honor on the bar. Behind the bar is the old mirror, its reflection marred by bottles of soft stuff.

In the centre of the bar is a soda fountain. There are no portraits of women on the walls. But $40 in one night wouldn't pay the daily rent of many of the hard stuff saloons in the vicinity of the Argonne experiment. However, the Salvation Army's real laboratory work in finding a substitute for the saloon is still to come. Commander Evan geline Booth has announced that the organization would concern itself with saving the good that was in the saloon for prohibition days.

Would Keep the "Barkeep" Her plan includes the retention of all saloon fixtures and features, in? cluding a regular "barkeep." Only al? cohol will be missing. Col. Mclntyre, who directs Salvation Army work in what is known as the New York prov? ince, is seeking a suitable location. His plan is to lease some defunct sa? loon on the East Side after the saloons have gone out of business. There is no intention of attempting the work on a large scale at first.

If the first experiment proves suc? cessful others will be opened and kept open as long as they support them? selves. Over on the East Side the Rev. Will? iam Norman Guthrie, of St. Mark's Church-on-the-Bouwerie, and his lay associate, Eric Wilder, are seeking a corner saloon keeper in their neigh? borhood who will be willing to sub? lease his place as a "Coffee Palace." "This must not be considered as an adjunct to the church," said Mr. Wilder yesterday.

"It is not an effort to the church, but it is an effort on the part of the church to help men. "By our plan we would serve the best coffee it is possible to make and atiy other appropriate drinks as well as the best kind of sandwiches. would retain the fixtures of the saloon. If the personality and character of the bartender justified, he would be retained also. "This thing will have to start in a small way.

It will be successful only if it can be made to pay its way. If the saloonkeepers themselves will run places of thia sort in their present buildings and surroundings so much the better." Don't Expect to Be Closed Another experimenter is Urbain J. who conducts the Steppiri(? Stone Mission, in 203 East Ninth Street. He is cooperating with Mr. Wilder.

Thus far all the saloonkeep? ers he has approached with an offer of leasing their places have told him quite airily that they have no inten? tion of being closed on July 1. "That'll all be fixed up in tne they tell him. But Mr. Ledoux and Mr. Wilder are continuing their search and hope soon I to find a saloonkeeper in their neigh i borhood who will listen to their plan.

There are other efforts in view by social settlements and individual pas tors. There remain th'e business men i who are preparing to enter the game. See a Sweet Opportunity The experience of states that are already dry has shown that increased consumption of candy follow? in the wake of prohibition. One answer is that the digestive system promptly manufactures alcohol out of sugar. Be that as it may, the United Cigar Stores for some time have been considerins a plan to open a string of enndy store in New York.

An official of the con corn Baid yesterday that the camh store proposition was in the hands a committee of company executive and that nothing concerning the pla. Could be made public..
