GoTernment Statement on Dr.
Friedmann's Cure.
Final Judgment Cannot Be
Rendered at This Time.
Washington, March 22. 5The public
health service, through Surgeon Gen
eral Blue, has issued its first state
ment relative to the government in
vestigation of Dr. F. F. Fried
mann's alleged tuberculosis cure. The
statement, which emphasizes the gov
ernment's policy to proceed cautious
ly, is as follows:
"On March 8 the secretary of the
treasury, on the recommendation of
surgeon general of the public health
service, caused a board of medical of
ficers to be detailed to make a thor
ough Investigation of Dr. Fried
mann's alleged cure for tuberculosis.
"These officers proceeded immedi
ately to New York and arranged with
Dr. Fried mann for demonstrations of
his remedy upon persons suffering
from tu berculosis. These demonstations
are being carried on in certain New
York hospitals, through the courtesy
of their respective authorities, and
will be continued until sufficient in
formation has been obtained for the
forming of an opinion as to the mer
its of the treatment.
"Dr. Friedmann has submitted to
the board a culture of the bacteria,
which he states are used in his meth
od of treatment. In addition to the
observation of persons under treat
ment by Dr. Friedmann, the board of
officers will make experiments to as
certain whether this culture is as Dr.
Friedmann claims, harmless to warm
blooded animals.
"Considerable time necessarily will
be required to carry out these inves
tigations. The work will be carried
cut as rapidly as possible.
"In the meantime, the public is in
formed of the inadvisability in the
great majority of cases, of traveling
long distances in the hope of receiv
ing treatment as those selected for
demonstration purposes constitute
chly a small proportion of applicants.
, "Certain statements purporting to
be expressions of the opinion of the
board of officers of the public health
service carrying on the investigation
have appeared in newspapers. These
officers have expressed no opinion and
will not be in position to do so until
the work has advanced sufficiently to
warrant some conclusion in regard to
Dr. Friedmann's treatment."
Will Require a Month.
It was further stated by govern
ment officials that it would be at least
a month and probably longer before
anv conclusion could be reached re
lating to the efficacy of the treatment
upon the patients who are being
watched by the board of officers auth
orized to make the investigation.
Dr. John F. Anderson and Dr. A.
M". Stimson, who compose the board,
are keeping a daily clinical record of
rases treated by Dr. Friedmann in the
New York hospitals. These records
will furnish the basis for final reports
when sufficient information has ac
cumulated to warrant them.
Though developments from day to
itsy, such as lowering of temperature,
disappearance of night sweats, ces
ration of coughing and the like, might
triean something of Importance in one
rase, in others it would not. For this
reason, the public health officials re
Kard it as dangerous to make any re
ports whatever until . they are ready
to report finally. They also point out
that It is necessary to keep a record
in many cases, as two or three cases
would not be sufficient upon which
to base a Just report as to the efficacy
f the treatment.
Thus far. Dr. Friedmann's tuber
culosis culture has been demonstrated
to be a "live bug." according to tests
made In the government hygienic lab
oratory here, sub-cultitres having been
crown from the original culture sub
mitted to the public health service by
the Berlin doctor several weeks ago.
The tests conducted by Dr. - Ander
son proved that new bacilli would
"propagate from the prime culture and
experiments have been begun with
warm blooded laboratory animals.
The sub-cultures also have proved to
be acid proof and they have been pro
pagated on various chemical media,
such as beet boullion, gelatine, bread
find other subjects. Enough of the
bacilli has been developed for the
carrying' out through monkeys and
guinea pigs of further tests of the
anti-tubercular bacilli which Dr. Fried
mann claims to have derived from sea
turtles.

DENIED A DELAY.
Supreme Court Would Not Give Gas
Co. Time in Flannelly Case.
The supreme court has denied the ap
plication of the Kansas Natural Gas
company for a stay of execution in
the Montgomery county suit which re
sulted In the appointment of receivers
for the gas company by Judge Thomas
Flannelly. A stay was sought by the
gas company pending final action on
an appeal to the supreme court. Judge
Flannelly established a precedent by
appearing personally before the su
preme court to defend his action in the
receivership order.
Judge C. F. Hutchins, of Kansas
City argued for a stay of execution for
the gas company, while' S. N. Brewster
and Chester I. Long opposed the issu
ance of such an order. As soon as the
application for a stay had been filed
Judge Flannelly notified the court that
he desired to be present when the mo
tion was heard. Following the argu
ment of Judge Hutchins. the Independ
ence Judge arose and asked permission
of the court to make a statement. This
request was granted and Judge Flan
nelly gave the court the history of the
Montgomery county suit.
Before the application for a receiver
ship for the Kansas Natural was filed
in the federal court, the state had
brought suit against the gas company
in Judge Flannelly's court charging
them with violation of the anti-trust
laws and asking for the appointment
of receivers. Because his case had
priority. Judge Flannelly insisted on
the trial of the case in his court,
found for the state and appointed re
ceivers as prayed for. Now an appli
cation is pending before Judge Pollock
to dismiss the federal receivers and
turn the property over to the men ap
pointed by the Montgomery county
judge. This case will be heard Mon
day in Kansas City. It was to dodge
this hearing that a motion for a stay
of execution was filed in the supreme
court. The court, after hearing the
arguments, denied the application for
a stay.
"DEADEYE DICK" DIES
Famous Robber-Evangelist Victim of
Man Ho Tried to Reform.
Chicago, March 22. "Dick" Lane,
familiarly known as "Deadeye Dick,"
who for 40 years led the life of a
ciminal, serving five prison terms
during the time, and who for the last
sixteen years had engaged in evange
listic work, died yesterday, the victim
of a thug he had sought to reform.
A few weeks ago he took home with
him a man who had started out for a
night's work as a pickpocket. He talk
ed with him and thought he had him
started on the right path. A few
days later this same man returned
with three thugs and the quartet as
saulted and robbed Lane and fled. He
was seriously injured and failed
steadily.
During his career as a criminal
Lane was equally skillful as a pick
rocket, highwayman, safeblower and
burglar. He was a friend of such jio
torious crooks as Eddie Guerin, "Bal
timore Pat" Damley, "Red" Farrell.
"Chicago Jack" Merriwether and
John Barry.
According to his own statement rob
beries in which he participated netted
more than $2,000,000. He began in
Philadelphia when he was" 18 years
old and operated in every large city
in the country.
He became converted In Chicago
while attending a mission a few hours
after he had been ordered by the po
lice to flee the city. He went to H.
H. Kohlsaat and told his story. Mr.
Kohlsaat believed in his sincerity and
gave hjm employment as a Janitor.
He was about 74 years old.
BOYS ENTHUSIASTIC.
Farmer Lads Will Rave Institutes All
Themselves.
Manhattan, Kan., March 22. Kan
sas farm boys are not going to let
their dads get ahead of them in get
ting the big yields. The younger gen
eration has been more interested every
year in better farming. Now a series
of institutes for boys only will be con
ducted by C. D. Steiner, in charge of
boys' and girls' clubs at the Kansas
Agricultural college. The boys will
get together and discuss their prob
lems and maybe several of them will
tell how they grew the prize acres of
the county. Then they will listen to
a talk by Mr. Steiner. Such meetings,
Mr. Steiner believes, will create much
interest among the boys and make
them enthusiastic over growing bet
ter crops.
In the next two weeks boys' in
stitutes will be held in three corn
growing counties Republic, Marshall
and Jewell. Mr. Steiner will spend
three days in Republic, three in Mar
shall and a week in Jewell county.
The afternoon session will consist of
experience talks by boys and a corn
talk by Mr. Steiner. At night Mr.
Steiner will give an illustrated lecture
on planning and planting the home
grounds. The night meetings will be
open to everyone.

Wind and Clouds.
The feminine portion of the popula
tion of the capital city will have the
"blues" for a certainty when they
learn of the sad information that the
weather man has to impart, for the
"glad" bonnets may have to be left at
home on Easter.
"It looks as though we'll have bad
weather to say the least," said
"Sunny" Flora today. "However, there
is Just a chance that the worst of it
may come tonight and that Sunday
will merely be cloudy."
The forecast: "Snow or rain to
night or Sunday and warmer."

common practice among Illinois judges to
refuse to honor requisitions from New
York when such instruments were au
thenticated only by the governor's privy
seal and not by the great seal of the

cago jurists today, explaining the com
plaint made by Governor Sulzer, of New
Tiork, to Governor Dunne, of Illinois, yes

court, should decline to honor a requisi
tion authenticated with the governor's
privy seal. The precedent has been long
established here and is well known in
New York, it was stated by the various
judges here. Some of the correspondence

vious refusals by Illinois judges, is on
file in the local courts.

HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
Rare Presence of Mind Shown by Man
Caught Between Trains. '
Hartford, Conn., March 22. By stand
ing sideways and holding himself ner.
fectly erect between two express trains
that whirled by him in opposite direc
tions, William Scott, of Westminster,
B. C, escaped unhurt at the Avon
street crossing here late last night. His
companion, Thomas H. Ryan, of Bing
hamton, N. Y., tried to dart across the
tracks. One of the trains caught and
mangled him and threw his body 200
yaras aown me iracK. The two men
had started across the tracks, oblivi
ous of the fact that either train was
approaching.
When, the trains bore down upon
them Scott realized it would be death
to run in either direction and with
rare presence of mind "he recalled hav
ing read that there was leeway of an
inch or so between passing trains for
a man of average size if he could hold
himself erect. Scott did not find it
easy to hold his feet. The air suction
produced by the two trains nearly pull
ed him over, but he set his muscles
so firmly that when the trains pass
ed he could not unlimber until he waa
assisted.
FATALLY INJURED.
New York Man "Hoist by His Own
Petard."
New York, March 22. Blown up by
his own bomb, Henry Klotz, a
draughtsman in the employ of the city,
lies in the Fordham hospital today,
so terribly wounded that it is doubtful
if he lives to spread any light on the
accidents. Bits of nails, screws and
small steel slugs from the bomb punc
tured his face and body in more than
30 places, one eye was destroyed and
two fingers of hia left hand blown oft.
The .police today continued an investi
gation of the 'case. When Klotz was
removed to the hospital last night he
declared the exploding bomb was one
which he found in a park. When he
learned that he had littie chance to
live he told the police the bomb was
one of his own - making. A visit to
his rooms seemed to confirm this, for
the place was like an arsenal. There
were 12 one-pound cars of black gun
powder, 16 shotguns and rifles, revol
vers of all sizes and knives and swords
of all shapes.
The police were struck by the fact
that the house where the accident oc
curred and where Klotz lived with his
mother and two sisters on Fulton street
was only two blocks from the apart
ment house where Mrs. Madeline Her
rera was killed and two other persons
were injured by the explosion of a
bomb very similar to that which Klotz
was making. J. P. Farrell, a weak
minded janitor, who has been held in'
the Tombs for some time charged with
the Herrera bomb outrage, which was
committed February 20, confessed to
guilt, but later repudiated the con
fession. mm MMH REPORT,
