patients were treated by Dr. Friedrich
F. Friedmann with the vaccine which
he asserts is a cure for tuberculosis at
a private clinic late Saturay.
Announcement that this clinic had
been held wax made by the Berlin phy­
sician after it had been known that
further tests of his treatment, which
were to have been made at the Peo­
ple's Hospital, the scene of his pre­
vious demonstrations, had been aban­
doned.
Meanwhile, it was under­
stood Dr. Friedmann waa preparing
for a meeting with government health
octliials from Washington, by whom
testa of his treatment are to be con­
ducted.
The announcement aaid that the
demonstration Uxik place in the offices
of physicians in the presence of a score
or more of the medical men, many of
whom had brought patients with them.
Dr. Friedmann, it was said, acted as a
consulting physician, and therefore
abided by the law which provides
against practice of the profession
without a license.
Of the cases treated 11 were of pul­
monary tuberculosis, two of tubercu­
losis of the knee, two of the kidneys
and bladder, one of the hip and one of
the glands. Of the physicians present
several were from distant states. Dr.
E. C. Thrash, a specialist in tubercu­
losis cases, of Atlanta, Ga., one of
those who witnessed the demonstra­
tion, said the clinic had progressed
smoothly, that there was little delay
in treating the patients and that the
technic in administering the treatment
had been correct.
Most of the patients were asked to
come back in ten days.
New York The city health author-
itiea gave Dr. F. F. Friedmann, of
Berlin, permission Thursday to teat
the treatment which he aaaerta ia a
cure for tuberculoaia, if Dr. Friedmann
decides to aubmit to a teat which the
board of health will allow to be under­
taken in a city inatitution.
The board of health’* aanction,
hitherto withheld, waa granted condi­
tionally after the visiting Berlin phy-
aician submitted to the* ixtard a tube
containing a culture of the bacilli.
Dr. Ernat J. Lederle, commissioner
of health, aaid hia department would
teat the culture on animals.
The chief purpose of thia official
nnalyaia ia to determine whether the
serum is harmful. If it shall prove to
be of no possible danger, the board of
health will issue a permit to Dr.
Friedmann.
Dr. Friedmann has not fully decided
to accept the latest offer of the au­
thorities and conduct hia experiments
on animala, but public pressure will
probably induce him to go ahead and
make the beat showing possible under
the prescribed restraints.
Dr. Friedmann has been barred
from making general use of his dis­
covery because he holds no state li­ ANNEXATION MUCH DESIRED
cense as a practicing physician.

health commissioner, in a statement
on the action of the authorities re­
garding Dr. Friedmann’s treatment.
”His treatment will not be demon­
strated in city institutiona, however.”
The New York County Medical so­
ciety, which protested against tests
Itecause Dr. Friedmann held no li­
cense, will not stand in the way if any
hospital appoints the Berlin doctor a
resident physician.
Under such ap­
pointment he will not need a state
license.
CRUISER RAMS TORPEDO
BOAT; 63 GERMANS SINK
Heligoland, Germany—Sixty-three
men lost their lives when the German
cruiser York rammed the torpedo boat
G-178 in the North Sea Thursday
night. The dead men are all members
of the crew of the torpedo boat, which
sank immediately after the disaster.
Lieutenant Kock, commander of the
Istat, and his first officer, are among
the dead. Seventeen were saved from
the damaged vessel, among the num­
ber being the surgeon and the chief
engineer.
A mistake in calculation of distance
on the part of the commander of the
sunken vessel caused the accident.
The torpedo boat attempted to pass
between a line of moving warships.
Woman Judge Tries Girls.
Chicago -Fifteen cases were dis­
posed of Thursday in “Judge” Mary
H. Bartelme's court.
It was the first
day of the court, the attaches of
which are all women, and Miss Bar­
telme expressed herself as highly
pleased with the results.
Not a man is admitted to the court
room, where the hearings are limited
to the cases of either wayward girls
or those “who never had a chance.”
Miss Bartelme was appointed by
Judge Pinckney, of the Juvenile court,
to hear this class of cases, holding
that many girls could more easily tell
their stories to a woman than a man.
Woman probation officers acted as
bailiffs and there was a woman clerk
of the court.
“It is our hope to get justice for
these girls and judging by the first
day’s work I think we will be success­
ful,” said Mias Bartelme.

Pittsburg
Announcement was
made by Thomas J. Keenan, president
of the American Association of the
Isle of Pines, that a petition directed
to President Wilson and the senate,
requesting annexation of the island,
will be put in circulation in this coun­
try and the Isle of Pines.
The petition states that 6000 Amer­
icans who reside or have property in­
terests on the Isle of Pines are anx­
ious to have action taken to make the
island permanently a possession of the
United States. The Isle of Pines has

PRICE OF FURS IS ;SOARING
Rise of From 20 to 50 Per Cent Is
Noted in London.
Ixindon — Furs will be extremely
dear next year. A pre-Easter sale in
London last week shows that all furs
are selling at from 20 to. 50 per cent
higher than they did last year.
As usual, the highest-priced furs are
going to Russia. One of the features
of the sale here was a lot of 500 otter
skins which probably will be the last
consignment for several years, as the
otter is to be placed on the prohibited
list to prevent its extermination. One
skin sold for a record price of $2300,'
going to Russia.
Silver foxes were 50 per cent higher
than last year. One brought $1750.
Blue foxes established a new record,
one bringing $145.
The only skin which showed a de­
cline was the lynx, which was 40 per
cent cheaper than it was a year ago.
Blind Singer Saves Audience.
Worcester, Mass.—The coolness of
Edward F. Boyle, blind singer, in
keeping on with his song while fire
spread rapidly in the balcony of a local
theater, prevented a panic among the
500 spectators, all of whom filed out to
safety. When the last of the aud­
ience reached the door, Joseph L. Rog­
ers, the pianist, leaped to the stage
and led the blind man out through a
rear exit.
Vice President Declares Senate la
Ita Special Guardian.
Washington, D. C. Vice President
Marshall in his inaugural address
made a personal pledge that he would
seek to familiarize himself with his
duties, and said that he appreciated
the “necessities in the way of tact
and courtesy” that devolved upon
him. Then he struck the keynote of
national honor that dominated the ad­
dress, and added:
“With neither right nor desire to
infringe upon the prerogatives of the
President so soon to be, I beg the ex­
pression of the opinion that whatever
diverse views may be held relative
to the work of this body al) persons
are agreed that under the constitution
the senate of the United States is sin­
gularly the guardian of the people’s
honor; that more and more, as right­
eousness is exalted among this people,
the idea is becoming more firmly fixed
that it is not vast territory, great
wealth nor large learning which mark
the real status of America; that
America is to be measured by the
golden metewand of honor; and, as
the idea in her formation was the in­
herent right of men to rule themsel­
ves, that now she can ill afford to an­
nounce this doctrine in her own land
and renounce it for an instrument of
oppression in other lands.”
AIR CRAFT ARE RESTRICTED
Britain Takes Precautions Against
Spies of Other Powers.
Ixmdon—Under authority conferred
by the aerial navigation act, the home
secretary has issued orders prohibiting
from passing over any portion of the
United Kingdom or territorial waters,
foreign military or naval air craft, ex­
cept on invitation and by permission
of the government.
All other foreign air craft coming
to the United Kingdom are required

They are prohibited from passing

Americans Will Shoot to Kill If
Further Molested.
Douglas, Ariz.—Each insisting that
the troops of the other command be­
gan Sunday the skirmish which was
repeated Tuesday morning between
Mexican federal troops from the Agua
Prieta garrison and soldiers of the
Ninth cavalry. Colonel Guilfoyle and
General Ojeda stood firmly on their
declarations.
The American army officer declared
that his men will “shoot to kill” if
the border patrol is interfered with.
The Mexican general asserts that his
men did not begin the firing and that
if proven he would execute anyone
guilty of having begun the trouble.
The Ninth cavalry patrol has been
increased to full force, including the
machine guns, stretching from Doug­
las to Forest station.
There is much excitement here. The
city authorities consider establishing a
special guard.
There is an unusual
number of Mexicans in the American
town and much excitement among
them. The rebel messenger arrested
Sunday by United States troops was
released. Messages he carried have
been sent to Washington.
“I have no unfriendly feeling to­
ward the United States and the shoot­
ing by my men across the border was
without authority,” General Ojeda de­
clared.”
My soldiers would not fire a shot
across the line unless fired on,”
asserted Colonel Guilfoyle. “I know
they have not. I deplore the matter
as much as anyone could, but we will
return the fire and shoot to kill as long
as the patrol is interfered with. It is
up to the other side to stop it.”

Oregon Apples In Europe.'
Liverpool is the leading English port
for the importation of American and
Canadian apples, and it is also the
leading apple distributing center in
England. The apples imported into
Liverpool are not only distributed
throughout the British Isles, but re­
exports are made as the market de­
mands to France, Germany, Norway,
Sweden, and also to South Africa.
Consul H. L. Washington, reporting
on the Liverpool trade, says:
“Sales are made by public auction
and are regulated by custom rather
than by rule. The practice is well es­
tablished and meets with general ap­
proval, and probably 80 per cent of
the total importations of apples are
sold by auction. The latest published
prices (January 29) of apples which
were sold by public auction are, per

mountains contain veins of semi-

it into money and give us a supply of
good coal at low prices. We have
enough coal defined in the Coos Bay
field to supply this coast for hundreds
of years, and northeast and southeast
of Coos Bay is a trackless wilderness
in the Coast Range that promises to
be a larger and better coal field, as it is
higher above tide and the general
formation has fewer faults. Three
veins showing an excellent grade of
coal from three feet to six feet in
thickness, with a dip slightly to the
west, are opened up southwest of Elk­
ton at an elevation of about 1800 feet
above sea level.
From a preliminary examination of
this region geologically it is also the
most promising section in Oregon for
an extensive oil and gas field.
