2 SERUM DISCOVERER PUZZLES BY DELAY Friends Unable to Explain Why Reported ure Is Not Made Public $1,000,000 OFFER EXCITES Berlin Medical Circles Stirred by American's Proposal to Pay for Secret Dr. Friedmann's Ac tions Give Klse to Criticism. BERUX. Feb. 2. (Special.) The of fer of Charles Finlay, president of the Aetna National Bank of New York, of $1,000,000 for Dr. Frederick F. Fried mann's tuberculosis serum, has caused a stir in medical circles here. Last week Dr. Friedmann said he would give the Government his discovery on a cer tain day. but a week has gone by and he has not done ko. He said, a week aso. he bad cabled a New York paper he would sail on the Mauretanla on February 1. He notified Mr. Thackara, the American Consul-General, personally of his sail ing at that time. fater in the week Dr. Friedmann ap peared undecided as to when lie would sail for New York. He said he was ne gotiating with the government, and this might delay his departure. Friends Are Mystified. Dr. Friedmann's friends say they cannot understand his actions and his premature announcement. They can hilly attribute them to the fact that he Is chiefly a laboratory man, has lit tle knowledge of dealing with people, and is not a practical business man. No one knows where his laboratory is. Dr. Friedmann, who is the head of a Berlin medical institute, leaped Into fame recently by announcing he had dis covered the long-sought cure for tuber culosis. There was an instant demand from all over the world for informa tion about it. Medical institutes every where sent for cultures, sufferers from tuberculosis began to flock here in the hope of being cured by the doctor. Then Dr. Friedmann made his demand for Jl. 000.000, and at once a storm of criti cism arose from the medical profession, on the basis that Dr. Friedmann's de mand was unethical to try to make money out of a discovery of such value to the whole world. Dr. Fried mann. Ketlrent. Dr. Friedmann had been extremely reticent about what he would do until the offer of Charles Finlay arrived here, anil, since the terms of the offer have been made public, his friends arc at a loss to account or his continued delay. Certain skeptics declare that Dr. Friedmann's hesitancy about going to America to claim the $1,000,000 is due to the terms of Mr. Finlay's offer, which insists that it be proven that the cure is a real one. According to the terms of the cabled offer Mr. Finlay says it will be necessary to secure patients who are undoubtedly suffering from tuberculosis and to attempt their cure. When they ire cured it will be necessary to prove also that there are no harmful after ef fects of the cure. When this is done ne says he will pay Dr. Friedmann the $1,000,000 he demands. LOWER FARE IS ORDERED Southern Pacific In Nevada Must Come Down to Three Cents. RENO, Ncv.. Feb. 2. (Special.) Or ders have been issued by the Nevada Railroad Commission to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company to reduce passenger fares in the state over both the main line and branches from 4 and 6 cents a mile to 3 cents a mile, to go Into effect February 25. This order has come after two years of investigation by the Railroad Com mission under the supervision of Com missioner Shaughnessy, who makes a statement that the railroad company will make a reasonable profit on its investment at the rate ordered. Commissioner Bartine, in a dissent ing opinion, says that, while he be lieves the S-cent rate is right as far as the main lines of the railroad com pany are concerned, he does not be lieve the branch lines should be com pelled to lower their rates, as their earnings are not sufficient to warrant the reduction. At the same time Com missioner Bartine acknowledges that the sum total of the business of the company, including both main and branch lines, will merit the reduction.

The trans-Atlantic steamship pool has declared war on the Mediterranean service of the Cana dian Pacific Railway. Having failed at the recent conference in Berlin to secure the adhesion of the Canadian company for the pool, the Cnnard line now has applied to the Austrian gov ernment for a concession for a steam ship service between Trieste, Austria, and Portland, Me., with the privilege of establishing branch emigration offi cers throughout the monarchy. A concession of this character al ready Is held by the Canadian Pacific Company, and the Austro-Hungarian government recently declared its friend liness to the Canadian line GERMAN SCIENTIST, REPUTED DISCOVEEEB OF ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS SERUM, WHO FAILS TO DIVULGE HIS SECRET. lllllllllilll 1 i.' DIU FRIEDRICH REVENUE TO DROP Democratic Tariff Plans Mean Loss of Receipts. INCOME TAX COUNTED ON Free Sugar Expected to Deplete Government's Income by $53, 000.000 and Free Iist by $17,00f,000 More. WASHINGTON. Feb. 2. The framing of the tentative basis of the entire tariff legislation In the coming extra session of Congress will begin tomor row in the House committee on ways and means The 14 Democrats of the committee, constituting its majority, will meet In executive session daily from now .until they have revised all of the 14 schedules of the present law, and the free list and administrative provisions as well. Democratic Leader Underwood be lieves the committee will be able to finish its work by the middle of March, Upon the committee's programme will depend the date of the extra session of Congress. Revenue Must Be Raised. The committee Is confronted with the problem of raising from $325,000,000 to $350,000,000 from customs duties and still fulfilling a pledge to lower the tariff on necessities. The plan is to provide between $85,000,000 and $100, 000.000 by an Income tax, favorable action of only one more state being necessary to ratify the proposed Con stitutional amendment. The income tax would embrace the corporation tax, which bids fair to yield $30,000,000 revenue this year. In the main, according to Democrats, the chemical. Iron and steel, wool, cotton and free list bills will be like the pre vious Democratic bills, but there will be numerous changes dic.tated by new light thrown on individual articles. Free Sugar Reduces Revenue. The Democratic majority Is strongly committed to an income tax and its partial offset, the free sugar plan. It Is estimated that free sugar would de plete the revenues by $53,000,000 and that the free list would cut out ap proximately $17,000,000 more. There will be reductions in the cotton, wool and other schedules that may cause a material loss, though in some of the cases the Democrats count upon In creased Importations to offset the cut in duties. , POWER COXTROIi ISSUE UP Senate to Face Entire Question ln Connecticut Bill Debate. WASHINGTON. Feb. 2. The whole question of Federal control of water powers and power sites is to be brought before the Senate this week. Efforts will be made to pass the first btU establishing the Government's right to license, control and tax a water power furnished by a navigable river. While the bill in question Involves only the rights of a power company at Windsor Mills, Conn., the controversy over the measure has become so keen that conservation forces are lining up behind It and will endeavor to force its passage through the Senate. Senator) Borah and other Western Senators 'are preparing to offer amend ments affecting the entire subject of Federal supervision over power sites and waterpowers, using the Connecti cut River bill as a means to obtain changes In the conservation laws which will permit freer use of the Western waterpower resources. While the bill now before the Sen ate received the Indorsement of the Senate committee on commerc, a ma jority of that committee, headed by Senators Bankhead and Nelson, since have signed a report protesting against giving the Government control over waterpowers. Their opposition centers on the argument of "states' rights" and the contention that the Federal Government "has no moral or legal ground to demand compensation in any form."

In addition to the four new divisions which are established in continental United States there also will be estab lished three districts for the Coast Ar tillery troops, one on the North Atlan tic, to comprise the Coast Artillery sub districts north of Delaware, inclusive, with headquarters at Fort Totten, N. Y.; another on the South Atlantic, to comprise the sub-districts between Bal timore and Galveston, inclusive, with headquarters at Charleston, S. C, and one on the Pacific to embrace the sub districts on that coast with headquar ters at Fort Mlley, Cal. A separate officer with the rank, if possible, of a general officer, will be placed in charge of each or tnese uoasi Artillery districts, and he will be re sponsible for the training, discipline and instruction of the troops under his command. The new order also creates a brigade of infantry at Hawaii, which will be commanded by Brigadier-General Montgomery M. MacComb, Mobilization Is Simplified. Thus in the future each of the three infantry divisions will consist of two or three brigades, with a proper por tion of divisional artillery, cavalry, en gineers and other auxiliary troops. In addition to the two cavalry brigades in the cavalry division there is -a third detached cavalry brigade. At the head of each division, and as far as possible at the head of each brigade, will be placed a general officer with his reg ular staff. The announcement says: "At the outbreak of any war, or up on any emergency requiring the use of a brigade or a division of regular troops it only will be necessary to issue a sin gle order addressed to the commander of the division or brigade in question, directing him to mobilize his force at the desired point." The new plan will not Involve the immediate movement of a large num ber of troops. The department now is studying the problems, and orders for such transfers as are necessary will be issued later. The assignment of staff officers to the several commands or ganized under the new plan will be an nounced in the future. Secretary Stlmson believes that the plan of reorganization Is as thoroughly in accord with the views of the Army as it ill possible for any such plan to be. 'PEGGY PORTER' WRITES O.

DEFERENCE SHOWN POWERS Bulgarian Envoy Declares His Peo ple Aspire to Become Americans of Europe Monroe Doctrine Is Adapted to Peninsula. LONDON, Feb. 2. The porte has or dered the Turkish plenipotentiaries not to leave London until hostilities are re sumed, and has instructed the army to await the attack before firing a shot. Thus the Ottomans, with the excep tion of the Montenegrins, the only del egates left in London, remarked today that nobody could accuse them of not having done all humanly possible to come to terms. Animated by a humani tarian spirit, they added, Turkey wished to avoid useless carnage and wished also to show defereuce to the advice of the powers, although Europe had been unfair toward Turkey. Dr. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian delegation, before leaving London re called what he said in bis first state ments on arriving in London, that the Balkan peoples, who had adapted the Monroe doctrine to their peninsula, as pired to become the Americans of Eu rope. They had inaugurated a policy of sincerity and straightforwardness, as was proved by their frank conduct in the peace conference, where they demanded from the first exactly what they Intended to take. Osman Nizami Pasha, of the Turkish delegation, ridiculed the assertion that the allies would be able to storm Adrianople in a few days. The plan to take Adrianople by star vation had evidently been abandoned, the Turkish commandant having proved his ability to furnish supplies indefi nitely for the fighting men and the civilians within the town.

He had never shared the belief of those who for the last three months had counted on the support of Roumania, and he sincerely hoped that Roumania would have no occasion to regret her attitude in the war.

An un official note was issued today announc ing the porte has ordered the peace delegates not to leave London until after hostilities are resumed, and had Instructed the troops not to fire until after the Bulgarians begin their attack.

IRRIGATION IS DEFENDED FISHER REPLIES TO CRITICISM OF DR. B. T. GALLOWAY. Secretary Denies That Reclaimed Arid Lands Will Xot Continue to Be Productive. WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. Secretary Fisher, in defense of the Government irrigation work and in reply to the recent declaration before a House com mittee by Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant industry, that "there has never been any long-continued successful irrigation agriculture in an arid region anywhere in the world," has written to Chairman Moss, of the committee, denying Dr. Gallo way's assertion. He also has written to Secretary Wilson asking him to pre pare an official statement to show "the necessity of irrigation, its growth in the United States and the practical re sults, not only In crop productions, but in building up a desirable citizenship In the remote portions of the West." Dr. Galloway's statement, says Secre tary Fisher, has resulted In much un favorable comment, some of it Intimat ing that the Government's $74,000,000 investment in reclamation work has been unwise. The Secretary asserts: "Up to date there are no developments which should occasion alarm for the permanent fu ture of the land reclaimed or for the continued prosperity of the people who have settled upon it." - St. Johns Fruit Growers Ofrend.
