Ciro.innati. The emDloyes 'of the
Cincinnati Traction Co. went out on '
strike Friday night. The street car
system was completely tied up and no
cars were run from Saturday after
noon .until Monday. . Cincinnatians
living on the hill tops and in the sub
urbs were compelled to walk.
' Anto trucks, busses and all kinds
of vehicles were pressed into servi le,
tout were unable to handle the thou
sands of people who desired to ride.
The Traction Co. made efforts to get
cars going but felt compelled because
Of demonstrations and interference by
crowds to return the cars to the barns.
President Schoepf announced that
another effort will be made to get the
cars started. It is certain that there
will be opposition to this move in
some form or another.
The organizer of the local union has
announced to the men his desire that
no violence ' shall be used, but that
peaceful means shall prevail to prevent-
the cars ' going out.
' A number of conductors and motor-
men from other cities arrived here to
-take the places of the strikers. It is
regarded as almost certain that if the
cars are not going to-day that an ap
plication will be made to the Federal
Courts for the appointment of a re
ceiver to take charge of the property
and conduct it for the benefit of the
public.
Mayor and Schoepf Confer.
The Mayor . and President Schoepf
held a conference at City Hall. There
is a story that all was not as pleasant
as it might have been between the two
gentlemen. -
The Mayor claims that there is plen
ty of police protection for the cars to
run while Mr. Schoepf claims he can
not operate his property because of
the act of violence.
The ' traction officials were in their
offices all d?y, during which time they
considered every phase of the situa
tion, including that of applying to the
court for protection, a plan which at
- this writing appears to be certain of
consummation.
Two Cars Are Burned.
The two street cars which had been
sent out on the John street line in
charge of strikebreakers and deserted
at Westwood avenue and Showell,
v were set afire and one of thep prac
tically ruined. The other one was
badly damaged" oy the flames.
The blaze was discovered by Officers
Hays and Schaefer, of the Ninth dis
trict, who had just left the station
house. They inimediately hurried to
the seem;, but ' before their arrival
some one had pulled the alarm. The
fire company and the officers arrived
on the scene almost simultaneously
"May Apply For a Receiver.
i The application for the appointment
of a receiver for the Cincinnati Tras
tion Co. is . the alternative that the
company must face unless it comes to
time "in treating with its employes,
A night conference was held by the
Mayor and officials of the city govern
ment for theone side and others of

tion. - ,
The labor men put their proposition
squarely up to the Mayor and stated
that they were most willing to arbitra-

; difficulty. . . '
They presented in writing the mat
ters that they deem to 'be at issue and
what they are asking from the traction

After 'a conference of some little
time the Mayor determined to send
another ultimatum to the Traction
Co. officials. . '
v In this letter comes the statement
that the courts will be appealed to and
. under contingencies that a demand

The Mayor is particularly impres
sive in that part' of his letter which
reads: "If your company will not agree
-, to so proceed the city of Cincinnati
will be forced . to apply to a court of
competent Jurisdiction for the appoint
ment of a. receiver, to operate your
property and if necessary for a, for
feiture of its franchise." "'.' --.

PHTHISIS CURE HIT!
UNITED STATES EXPERTS CAN
NOT INDORSE FRIEDMANN'S
VACCINE.
GIVES WARNING TO PATIENTS
Physicians Declare Experiments So
Far "Do Not Justify Confidence in
Remedy Which Has Been, Inspired
by Widespread Publicity."
Washington, May 12. In the opin
ion of the government surgeons who
have been investigating the condition
of patients . that were inoculated by
Dr. Frederick F. Friedmann with his
tuberculosis " vaccine: the observations
do not justify that confidence in the
remedy which has been inspired by
the widespread publicity given the
cure."
This first official conclusion from
the tests was announced here Satur
day before the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu
berculosis by Dr. John F. Anderson,
director of the government's hygienic
laboratory, and Dr. A. M. Stlmson.
another public health - surgeon, . who
were assigned . to observe the prog
ress of the Friedmann patients at
Mount Sinai hospital in New York.
We believe that at the present
time," says their report, "we are not
in a position to express an opinion
based on the conditions under obser
vation. The disease for which the
remedy is used is prolonged and is
characterized by periods of advance
ment and retrogression' It is also one
In which psychic influences are a pow
erful factor. Time is therefore neces
sary to evaluate properly the effect of
therapeutic measures. Without pre
senting in detail the condition of pa
tients under observation, 'we are in a
position to state that the facts thus
far observed do not justify that con
fidence In the remedy which has been
Inspired by widespread publicity. ...
'In our opinion harm may have
been done by this undue publicity in
so far as it' has lessened the confi
dence of tubercular persons in well-
recognized ' methods of treatment or
interrupted their use, and we are con
strained to advise against any lessen
ing of those well-known ' -measures
which not only had effected cures but
which have reduced the Incidence of
the disease.
Tn our series of patients. Dr. Fried
mann has almost exclusively made
use of the Intramuscular method alone
in pulmonary cases, and a very con
siderable proportion of them have
either developed no considerable in
filtrate at all or have suffered from
abscess formations. It is evident,
therefore, that a very consideable por
tion of these patients, may expect
their treatment at the hand of Dr.
Friedmann to extend over a long
period.
"Concerning the cultures submitted
to us, we may state that, a series of
experiments fa under way. The
bacillus has been found to be an acid
fast organism having having proper
ties quite different from those of any
tubercle bacillus with which we are
acquainted. -
"We requested Dr. Friedmann to
furnish us with a large amount of
this material for examination, but
this he has declined to do. We can
state, ' however, that living' acid fast
bacteria are being Injected by the in
stramuscular and intravenous meth
od, although we are Ignorant of what
medium they are suspended in or
what additional substance or sub
stances may be contained in the final
mixture."

from a barrel in his house on the Per
ry county side of the North fork of the
