FINLAY S OFFER BRINGING CURE Dr. Friedmarm Is Coming to This Country for Demonstration. TO GET MILLION IF SUCCESSFUL New York Banker Confident Berlin Physician Can Prove He Has Discovered Cure for Tuberculosis ? Plans to Give Everybody Benefit of His Discovery. (Special to The Times-Dispatch.) New York. January J?. ? Charles E. Kinlay, president or the Aetna Nation? al Bank, who ottered last week to pay ll.000.ouu to Dr. f*. K. Kriedmann. of Berlin, if he would bring or send hts auppoaed cure for tu bereu login to thin country and have It proved effective, said to-day that he knew that I>r. Kriedmann would lufiy bring his cul? ture here in person and that he would sail tor the Inltcd Ktatea within a couple or week*. "I have insisted upon his coming said Mr. Kinlay at bis home at Oreat Neck to-day "Mia brother, who is here in New York, has received a cable from him telling that he is ready to start for New York and will sail within a week or two. He m corning here to provt, his assertions that he has at last found a tuberculosis cure and if he should fad why there la nothing lost ' Mr. Kinlay aspactl to hear within two or three days of the definite plans of Dr. Flleillliailll He is glad that the Merlin specialist has a, cepted his offer Mr. Kinlay does not look upon the pay? ment of the million dollars in the event that the cure is a < ure as men of the medical profession here in this country do. He says he has offered it more as a reward and to make it certain that Amern an* have the benefit of the cure He intends to make the culture public If It is a sue ess ami to found hospitals within and without New York where it may be administered A Business .Man's View. "I regard it. with a business man's point of view." said Mr. h inlay. Of ? ourse, I do not stand to make a dollar by it. but it la worth while 1 think to find out whether it is a practi> at cure It cither heals Of It does not heal. I am going to pay the expenses of finding out whether it is a cure or not. That means an outlay of (>erhapa t* ?? Hu' that isn't mm-h to risk if WS run the chance of getting a positiv?? cure for the white plague "As regards Dr. Kriedmann accepting the sum ot fl.oon.nrjo. I can't see why It should raise auch s fuss. If he has discovered u remedy he. deserves to have the money. It would be a reward My purpose in getting him to tome over here is to allow him a tair and impartial trial. I understand that he has been treated rather badly on the other side and is almost without the fold American doctors even If they think his aetions are unethical, will give him a square deal Dr. I.awarson Brown, of Saranac. will probably con? duct the test, and he will be aided Ly sui h men as the N'ew York medical profession shall < noose to assist him " Mr. Kinlay went on to say that what he had heard about division <>f opinion in Berlin over Dr Knedtnann's supposed cure had caused him to make investigation for himself before he made the million dollar offer to him. New York men whom he knew in Berlin had looked into Dr. Kriedmann's record and found it good and also through his bank connections Mr Kinlay had found that the Battta dOCSOr was likely to be telling the truth when he said he had a tuberculosis cure Negotia? tions have been going on between the two men for the past three or four weeks.

BEYOND REACH OF FEDERAL LAW Stock Exchange Denies Right of Congress to Regulate It. ADMITS POWER HELD BY STATE Believes, However, That No Laws, State or National, Ever Will Be Able to Stop Cer? tain Transactions? Thinks Organization Ablest to Control Own Affairs. Washington. .January M?M c m tiers ' of the House money trust co rn m 11'. ce who are to draft a report on result* of the inquiry into flnuncial affairs thus far conducted, have before them for consideration a brief just riled on behalf of the New York Sto< k Exchange by its attorneys denying that the federal government has power to compel its ! incorporation or to regulate its affairs The State of New York, it is ad? mitted in the btief. has power to enact laws for the guidari'e of the exchange, though the belief is expressed in the argument that no law. either by the State or nation, will ?top certain 'rans j actions. It is further a-serted that the ti.?Tnbers* of 'he exchange are better I able to control its affairs than any 1 legislative authority. " We assert, ' says t he brief. that no ' regulation whatever is within the , power of Congress. But we are far from ' asserting that the S'a'e is without any power of regulation "That the State may legislate with respect to transactions such as im? proper manipulation, is unquestion? able. How effectively it can leg. -1 n ? as to such matters is another question. Hopes and expectations in that direc? tion are apt to be in adverse ratio of accurate knowledge and experience . It is a regulation interfering with and diminishing the responsible self-gov? ernment of such an exchange that we argue against as detrimental in an incalculable degree as well to the , interests of the public as those of the exchange." Defending the rules of the Stock Exchange, the brief declares that its business is of neither interstate nor foreign character, "nor do us oper ; ations in any respect come within the sphere of the Federal jurisdic? tion " Kulea of the exchange, the brief declares, prohibit manipulation, short selling and general gambling, reports I of which are said to be exaggerated by the general public. The answer to all j charges against the exchange is said to lie in the statement that att transac? tions are matters between customer and broker with which the exchange has nothing to do so long as highest stan? dards of business honesty are main : tamed. The brief also contain* many legal j decisions submitted to prove that the Stock Exchange cannot be subject to I the interstate commerce act. SITUATION COMPLEX It May Be That Strikers Will Return to work To-Day, j New York. January 2t>?Cross pur? poses of leaders, the rank and file and employers to-night cornpln ated con? ditions in the hotel waiters' strike. Leaders declared that modified de? mands, acceptable to the proprietors, wouid be presented and an agreement .reached under which most of the I?m or more employes now afTc ted < ouid return to work Strikers in numbers announced their intention of ren.atn ' log out until a complete victory had been won. while many of the mana? gers of the larger hotels asserted that they would not re-employ their aid waiters, preferring la dc|,end upon I nonunion help in the future. At a mass meeting to night at union headquarters the tone adopted by the speakers was generally antiripa':r,g tbe end of the strike. A fter i he meei nil ? it was announced by several leaders that the executive committee would meet later and draw up the modified df mands and that the waiters would return to work to-morrow. , There was opposition to tin* plan on the part of other leaders, however. Elizabeth Ourlcy Flyr.n, leader of' the strike, who had adopted an aggres? sive tone early in the day. said to-night tlsal the strike would be over in forty eight hours, and that ail of the strikers would return to work to strengthen then union for a renewed effort to at? tain their end.

Several speeches were made embrac? ing immigration, child labor, contract labor, workmen's compensation and industrial relations. No newspaper? men were admitted and Oovernor WU ' son could not be rea> hed to-night to make any comment on the conference. The statement given out at the Alex? ander home quotes the President-elect as saying : "Every subject treated here to-day engages pay deep interest and entnusi iuni My enthusiasm is in proportion, generally to the practicability of a ? scheme I have always been eager to forward general principles, but I do not feel the breath fill my lungs until 1 see the practical plan.

There is a fear :n many minds that we are about to set. up what has been called a medical trust and it is very desirable to rtrnove that idea.

PLAN OF ACTION NOT DISCLOSED Leaders Do Not Know Wilson's Program for Extra Session. MAY CONFINE IT TO TARIFF REVISION Believed. However, That Ques? tions of Currency and Freedom for Philippines Will Be In? cluded in Scheme- Decks Now Being Cleared for His Administration. Washington, January 26?Although the ?COpS of legislation to be taken up at tbe approaching extra session of Congress has not yet been outlined, congressional committees are rapidly j pushing their preliminary work to a 1 point where reco/nmendatlons can be I made to President-Elect Wil?on and plans laid before him for the early work of his administration. Work on tariff bills will soon be ?terted, the hearings reaching an end ' this week The "money trust" end of ' the House Banking and Currency t'ornmittee is already working on a report, while the "currency" branch of the same committee will push its in ve.ungation this week into other branches of the currency question in the effort to secure comparative suggestions for currency reform. Senate and House leaders do not yet know what legislation, if any. in ad? dition to the work of tariz revision, will be taken up at the extra session. Several who have talked with Gover? nor Wilson express the confident be? lief that the currency question and the question of liberating the Philippines will be included m the new President's scheme of action lor his first congres? sional session. It is the general opinion in Democratic circles in Washington that President ; Wilson will at least not "foreclose" Congress against acting on everything but the tariff in special session. A ma? jority of the Democrats in the Senate' expect little legislation outside the tariff' '. to be taken up. but they believe Presi? dent Wilson in calling the extra session will not specifically limit its work. Want Action Postponed. An effort is under way by some : Democratic Senators to poetpone ac-I j tion on the currency until the next I regular -e-sion, and it is expected that : : a movement, will be promoted to secure ; an extension of tho present Aldrich Vreeland emergency currency law for at least a year, so that an emergency measure will still be at hand in case j *>>f*rWWisrrial or flnanr la! distnrtsSWOSS. j I nder this plan no attempt would be ? made to legislate on currency questions ! until next winter. The full extent of the fight between ' the Republican and Democratic fac ? tions la the Senate over President Taft'S appointments is expected to' develop this week. A Republican j I Sill as. the first at* the session, probably will be held early in the week and the majority of Republicans now insists there will be no concessions to tho| Democrats, but that the demand will again be made for confirmation of all i of the appointments now before tho Senate The House will devote its time this 'week to the consideration of appro? priation bills and by the end of the week it is expected that several big supply measures will be ready for the consid? eration of the Senate.

The 30,nur> members of the Brotherhood of Loco? motive Firemen and Enginemen. em? ployed by these roads, commenied taking a strike vote after the suspen? sion recently of protracted negotiations between their representatives and a committee of managers. The result of the vote is not yet known In their statement to-day the rail? roads take exception to a quoted statement by representatives of the firemen that iheir report of the recent conference* contained evidence "that the responsibility for a failure to arbi? trate all matters in the controversy and thus avoid the turmoil incidental to a strike ballot and the distress that must tesiilt from a strike! rests upon the railroads and not upon the locomotive firemen " In reply, the roads declare they have signified to the men a willingness "to gran: certain increases of wages" and to apply to the firemen the cone-lusters of the arbitration board which settled the re?.-enf d i ffe re M es between the roads and their engineers In addition to this statement declared : "The railroads are prepaied to arbi ( irate the present ease independently by a board of five or seven men ap? pointed by some disinterested authori? ties such as <"hief Justice White, of the I nited States Supreme Court, and Or. C. P. Nell. I'nited St-atrs Commis? sioner of Labor, as was done in the engineers' case." The statement was sent out by Ktisha I.re chairman of the managers com? mittee of the roads. The break in the negotiations be*ween the firemen and the roads, it wa? generally understood, came through differences as to the method of arbitra tion. Both sides indorsed the principle, but the roads declared in favor of a; board similar to that which decided vear the dispute of the engine, ? while the Bremen insisted that arbitra tion under the Erdman law whs the proper course.

NOTE TO TURKEY BEING DRAFTED It Will Be Presented To-Day and Will Explain Why Peace Conference Must Be Consid? ered Broken Off Action of Rumania and Aus? tria Is Feared. London. January 26 ? The Balkan plenipotentiaries, who have received. I full powers from their respective gov? ernments, appointed a committee to j day to draft a note to the Turkish. ! plenipotentiaries explaining why tbo ! peace conference must now be consid? ered broken off. It is hoped the draft will be ready for approval hy the full delegation Monday nighf. This action of the allies is part of a scries of well-considered forms of pressure with which the Balkan dele? gates hope to obtain their object without resuming the war. The meeting to-day lasted for an hour and a half, and the course to bo followed was given earnest ronsidera i tion. Two distinct views were mani? fest od?one for the immediate rupture I of the negotiations, leading to a re? sumption of the war. and the other ' favoring a temporizing policy, in order to avoid irrevocable steps. The latter course triumphed and a committee was appointed, consisting of one member from each delegation, as follows; Michael MadjarolT. Bulgarian minis-. I ter at London; Professor Oeorgios streit. Greek minister to Austria ; Hungary . Count Voynovitch. chief of King Nicholas' Cabinet, representing: Montenegro, and Dr. M. K. V'esnith, Servian minister to Prance, with the addition of M l'olitis. of the Greek I delegation, owing to his knowledge of ' French and his thorough ai quaintance ! with international law. Old Arguments Rehearsed. Oeneral lines were laid down on I which the note is to be drafted, com I prising the arguments already set forth many times as to why the league de : mands the surrender of Adrianople and the Aegean Islands as an indispen-a >lo condition to the conclusion of peace. That the policy of the allies is to i gain time is patent ami does not douetvo ', anybody. The delegates declared that j the advantages to be derived from lh?j ' resumption of hostilities would be m i proportion to the risks they ran and 1 that they would not take that step unless absolutely forced to do so. It lie realized that even a partial rrverso ! would have grave moral and material ; consequences, apart from the loss of i thousands of men. In addition, the fad is not over ' looked that there is danger of Rumania advancing from the rear and of Austria. : imposing on Servia and Montenegro ; her conditions for remaining neutral. The only disadvantage m delaying; < decisive action is In keeping large armies . inactive and on a war footing for a 'long time, thus heavily taxing both the financial and agricultural resources of their countries.
