The board bad no funds for tb«purpose Dr. <>**oward conferrod

"I urgfd Morgan not to take arlak so terrible," says Dr. Oaaeward"I do not know anything about Mor-gan'a morals or past." says Dr.Brown, "but I do know that he keptfaith with us and that bia proposi-tion was a good one

"

Morgan, when hunting a marketfor his Information, said he didn'twant pay until the entire traffic

had been broken up. and that. If theauthorities cared to employ him,they would discover that the . ourceof the drug supply wns a certainlarge drug firm.
