Dr. Sturm Demands $100,000
for Putting Through "Deal"
Between Berlin Physi?
cian and Eisner.
BROTHER ALSO MAY ACT
Turtle Germ Discoverer Asked
to Produce Contract Which
Commercialized "Secret"
?Plaintiff Maintains
He Was Threatened.
Dr. Friedri-lt Franz Friedmann ad?
mitted yesterday ihat lie was served
on Saturday with papers in a suit in
which his recently deposed adviser. Dr.
Maurice A. Sturm, is the plaintiff. As
?>rding to the allegations in Dr.
Sturm's complaint he regards himsc't
as responsible for the famous "deal''
by ??huh the Fricdmann "secret"
passed into the hands of Moritz Ets
ncr.
Dr. Sturm said yesterday he was si;
ing for $100,?Ha?. or B per cent commis?
sion on the ?f-'.?*tOfiOO, ??Inch he beli?v. s
is the "price'' in cash and stock issu.-s
vhich the turtle germ discoverer is to
receive from Eisner. Dr. Sturm also
declared Dr. Arthur C H. Fri? dmann
was a co-plaintiff In the suit, as having
been associated with him (Dr.Sturm) in
bringing Eisner and the doctor together
in the turtle germ dial, but Dr. Arthur
Friedmann's lawyer, Walter E. Ernst.
vf Nu. 1 Madison avenue, said last
night his client had not brought suit,
but only contemplated doing so.
When two process servers arrived at
the Majestic Hotel Saturday afternoon
about ? o'clock and found their way
to the neiv Friedmann headquarters, in
Room 208, Dr. Dwlnell and Captain
Arnold, of the Rhode Island Coast Ar?
tillery, rushed out and tried to keep
them from getting to the Berlin physi?
cian.
Curiosity Doctor's Undoing.
The doctor's curiosity, however, over?
came him. He came out, wanting to
know what the fuss was about. The
"paper" was then placed in his ham!.
?What's this, what's this?" he said.
"Show it to your attorney," said the
disappearing process server.
According to the allegations in Dr.
Sturm's complain:. Dr. Friedmann em?
powered him to find a purchaser for
the "turtle germ cure," and the first
meeting between Eisner and Fried?
mann took place in Dr. Sturm's office
in the Ansonla.
Dr. Sturm maintained yesterday that
Eisner had bt en very eager to obtain
th?- ? turtle germ cure," and had bee.i
to see him several times, urging him to
do everything in hit; power to brin?
about a contract.
"I am a stockholder in the Elsner
Mtndel-on Company," said Dr. Sturm,
"and know Eisner well. He came to
me and begged ras to use my influence
with "F. F.," and oiTered me every in
gfl', m. nt. He said I could have the
Brooklyn Bridge and the Woolworth
Building if the deal went through."
The plaintiff says he did not sue Eis?
ner because he regarded Dr. Frredman*i
as th-- n\?ner of the "property" and
considered himself the doctor's agert
in the transaction.
Dr. Sturm demands that Dr. Fried?
mann produce the contract, which has
been hitherto kept secret by both
Friedmann and Eisner, arid his attor?
neys demand that Dr. Friedmann file ;,
bond to secure the plaintiff against i
possible return to Germany before the
trial of the action.
Everything went well, according to
Or. Sturm, after the signing of the
Eib-ner-Friedmann contract until Dr.
Sturm ? xjiressed his disapproval of
certain phases of the "Eisner distri?
bution plan," which he called "un?
ethical."
Or. Sturm was bitter in his denun?
ciation of certain persons who he
?aid had made threats of various sorts
??j sik-nct him. They had even gone

MEN CRIPPLED FOR LIFE
Cells Drip with Moisture and,
Are Infested with Vermin?
Mo/als the Worst Feature
?Graft and Waste
Alleged.
Albany, May 11.?"Stories of torture
of prisoners in the Middle Ages s.uiiid
like descriptions of luxuries in compar?
ison to the tabs that have been told
BM of the lived that some of the prison?
ers in Sing sing live."
This indictment of New Vork BtStl I
oldest penal lrustitution is embodied in j
the report mad.- by Q**orge *V. Blake.
of New York, a special commissioner.
appointed by Governor Sulzer to inves?
tigate prison affairs.
The worst feature?that dealing witl.
jtftaj morals of th? convicts?Mr. Blake'
says cannot be discussed in a public i
document, but shou'd be called to the
immediate attention of those compe?
tent to deal with the situation.
The investigator describes conditions
as "frightful." The prison cells, ho
says, are dark, small, damp, filthy and
infested with vermin. In them men
contract rheumatism and go out crip- ?
pled for life. Into none of the cells
on the lower tiers has a ray of sun?
shine entered for eighty yean.
Mr. Hlak?- asseris that ?because of in?
fluence exerted by m?-n well known in
various walks of life money has ben
wrung from ? ersons seeking clemency
for prisoners, but in some eases th?
commutations and pardons bought
w.r.: "not ?leliven 1."
The commissary department ?if the
prison, according to Mr. Iilak?-. "is run
along incompetent if not dishonest
lines. There is criminal carelessness if
not downright grafting. Signs that
this is the CSSS ste k out as plentifully
as rjullls on the back of a frightened
porcupine." Colonel Joseph K. Scott,
who was recently removed as Super
irit< ndent of State Prisons, was awar?
?if c-rtain of this?- conditions, but made
M effort to minimize th. m, Mr. Wake
?ays.
Indications of Graft.
John S. Kennedy, warden of Sing
Sing. Is charged by Mr. Blake with
having violated tiV law "He has per?
mitted the creation and continuance of
unbu: llMasliata methods." bays tin? re?
port, "and has cause the state to loss
thousands of dollars in a way that
I ?tints directly to graft. He has made
no attempt to protect the Inmates from
disease and vice not an? effort to pro?
duce better conditions In this prison.
During his a?lminlstration scandals of
the prison manag.-ment have become
life in every section of the state."
The investigator says be does not
wish "to bear to. heavily" upon Ken?
nedy, because lie heli?v??.-? conditions are
"due directly*1 to Colonel Scott, who for
p.-arly two ?tars was at the head of
th.* Prison ?Department "l bave dug
into the sterile soil of prison manage?
ment to dlSCOVCl, if posslbls, on?? re
doming trait in the management of
prisons of this state during the period
In which Colonel S Ott was in control.
but I have not fourni one sign to show
that h?' was her competent, consci?
entious or Industrious. There is not an
atoll) of proof that ?'olonel Sott el er
contributed anything of value u> the
prisons.
Mr. Hlak.? de-laies that if i'olonel
Scott had sought the assistance of Dr.
[?Charles vv. parr, the prison physician,
or Dr. Harry Maren ess, the assistant
? hyskian, suggestions for improving
conditions < <>uld ha??'- been made. The
physiclani, .Mr. Hlak.- .?.?>.?. "are, with?
out doubt, conscientious men striving
to do their duty in the face of mani?
fold difficult??**."
s.-ott got his reputation as a panol?
ogist, Mr. Wake asserts, from the im?
agination o? "a man who for msny
i years took money from the (ate "or
serv?tes which weif not rendered."
"This man," the in??"Stigator alleges,
"in Frederick Hamlin Mills, concern?
ing whose operations a separate re?
port wll1 be made if you desire i:, an I
' w-hlt h will contain the names of some
of the men who shared in the large
I protlls that grew out of his scheme?.''
Mills was sales agent until dismissed
1 by Scott on recommendation of the
Sul/.er ??.mmttiee ?,?* ?Inquiry.
Beyond Discuiiion.
"The worst feature of the prison
management cani..,t be dlSTIISSIll in
any public document," says th?- ???
port, "but the subject is of such vital
Importance to the. welfare of tin- state
that no tlm ?uld I..? lost in sub?
mitting It to the attention of men com?
petent to present a method of better?
ing a condition that breeds disease of
the mind and body and that ?ho lid
touch the heart of every man with any
human Instinct :."
Mr. Wake says he was told stories, j
amply corroborated, of su? h frightful
character as to appeal to the most I
unfeeling person. The cells on the
ground floor, he says, drip with moist- ?
tire so that the inmates in many cases I
have become victims of chronic rheu- l
matism and go out crippled for life.
"The damp and unhealthy conditions j
are made worse by the presence of
vermin," he adds. "When the cell

BRYAN MAKES <
FINAL APPEAL
10 JOHNSON
In President's Name, Secretary
of State Asks California's
Governor to Veto
Land Bill.
THE HAGUE JAPAN'S HOPE
Tokio Insistent That United
States Agree on Arbitra?
tion Before Present
Treaty Expires on
August 24.
REFERENDUM TOO DILATORY
Viscount Chinda Holds That Renewal
of Existing Convention Is
Doubtful While Issue Is
Unsettled?Senate May
Block Mediation.
(From The Tribun? Bureau. 1
"Washington, May 11. ? Coincident
with the dispatch to-night by Secre- ?
tary Bryan of the State Department
Of a Ishej Sill to Governor Hiram W. j
Johnson, of California, requesting him.
to veto th* alien land bill, attention
is directed to the attitude of Viscount
Chinda, the Japanese Ambassador,
who has courteously but firmly repre?
sented that his government looks lor
an agreement from the United State?
before Aujust IM, when the present
treaty with Japan expires, to arbitr?t??
the questions involved before The
Hague Tribunal.
Secretary Bryan's telegram, which
bears to-day's date, and which was
ma?l?; public at the White House, waa
as follows:
"Msy 11, 1913.
"Hon. Hiram W. Johnson, Governor,?
Sacramento. Cal:
"The Preiident dir?ct? m? to exprese*
his appreciation of your courtesy in de? i
laying action on the land bill now be?
fore you until ?ta provisions could be
communicated to the Japanese govern?
ment and conaidered by it.
"Hia Excellency, Baron Chinda, has,
on behalf of hia government, presentad
' an earneit protest against the measure.
\ As you have before you only two
courses, viz.: To approve or to veto,
j it will avail nothing to recall to your
attention the amendments suggested to
| the Legislature, and as the President
! haB already laid before you hia views
, upon the subject it is unnecessary to
, reiterate them.
"He passes over questions affectingn
; treaty rights for two reaaona; first, be- j
cause the bill passed by the Legislature i
j is avowedly intended to conform to:
treaty obligations, and, second, because
' any conflict complained of would be a
! matter for the courts, but the Presi
! dent feels justified in expressing again
his desire that action on the subject
be deferred for this session, and h? ex?
presses the desire the more freely be?
cause the Legislature can be recon
i vened at any time if the welfar? of
the state requires it.
"He is fully alive to the importance
i of removing any root of discord which
i may create antagonism between Amer?
ican citizens and the subjects of'
Oriented nations residing here, but he
' is impelled by a sense of duty to ex
; press the hope that you will see fit to
allow time for diplomatic effort. The
nations affected by the proposed law
i are friendly nations?nations that hav?
1 shown themselves willing to co-operate
' in the establishment of harmonious re
? lations between their people and ours.
"If a postponement commends itself
', to your judgment the President will be
! pleased to co-operate in a systematic
| effort to discover and correct any evil?
? that may ?xist in connection with la****
ownership by aliens.
"W. J. BRYAN."
Skeptical of Success.
M.-mlicis of the California delegation
! in i'ongrcss when asked this evening
for their views regarding the probable
! effect of the President's final appeal to
Governor Johnson were emphatic in
th? ir expressions of belief that it would
prove of no avail They asserted that
the anti-alien bill appealed to and waa
demanded by precisely those classes of
VOten OB whom Governor Johnson al?
ways had depended and always must
depend for political support, and they
asserted their conviction that the Pro?
gressive ?Jovernor would be the last
i politician to forego the opportunity of
promoting his personal pohtu al popu- I
larity presented by this measure.
Secret.***** Hryun's communication 11
ISgSlded as making It clear that in ad?
dition to his published statements ho
relied largely in his personal appeal to
the Governor and the leaders of the
California Legislature on the diplo?
matic reasons, and those principles of
broad statesmanship which, in th?
judgment of the President and him?
self, should impel California to ab?
stain from legislation of this character
at this time, even though such legisla?
tion were wholly within Its rights.
It is remarked, however, by certain
California members of Congress that in
making such an appeal to Governor
Johnson the Secretary of State was
wasting his breath, because he waa
speaking a language which Hiram
Johnson could not understand."
All the Californiums who could be
