Doser chose the same method of rid- ding himself of the drug habit, accord- ing to the police, as did his father, a former well-known Gross Point physi- cian, who committed suicide several years ago, rather than face the disgrace of being known as a drug addict. Friday night Doser, who gave his age as thirty years, was arrested at the Main street elevated station, when ap- prehended fox breaking into chewing gum machines by special police officer W. B. Hall, an employe of the elevated com- pany and the Gum Vending machine company. Asked Jury Trial When brought before Judge Boyer Saturday morning on a charge of dis- orderly conduct, Doser refused to sign a jury waiver and demanded a jury trial. The judge continued the case until Aug- ust 14, and Doser was taken back to his cell. At 12:50 p. m. Sunday officer George Pestka went to the cell rooms with din- ner for the prisoners.

Moberg, desk sergeant of the Evanston police department, this morn- ing recalled an incident that occurred twenty-four years ago, when he had then been on the force about two years. He picked up a 6-year-old boy, who he thought was acting peculiar and brought him to police headquarters.. The. twinkle in the lad's eye suggested the use of 'dope' to the officer, and he searched the boy. On the third attempt the officer found a small glass bottle containing co-J caine sticking in the top of the boy's' Shoe. The lad tried to grab the bottle from the officer and break it. He finally admitted having seen his father, wno was a physician, use the drug, and ne had become an addict at the age of six. Friday, Sergeant Moberg recognized William Doser, the wreck of a man at the age of thirty, with a police record and a victim of drugs, as the man whom he had picked up when a boy of six at Cen- tral street near the car tracks. The only known relative of the for- mer Gross Point boy, John Doser of River Grove, 111., was notified. * TROOP THREE GOES TO LAKE CAMP Troop 3 of the Wilmette Boy Scouts left for Camp Stansell Satur- day morning.
