'On behalf of those who will ' be

fulness and Interest I thank you sin
cerely. It makes a man heart-sick to

-It 'is nrobable that Dr. F. F. Frled-
:mann has discovered a new method of
treatlna- Joint and sktn tuberculosis.
, says Dr.- Ray W. Matson. who has Just
.rrntmrrl from a visit to the young Ber
lin -nhvaician'a clinics at New York.
"and f thl la so he certainly has made
av valuable addition to medical knowl
edge. '
' "I don't think though." added' Dr.
Matson. who last night submitted a do
tailed report of his Investigations to
Governor West, "that Dr. Friedmann's
treatment Is anr more effective In pul
monary tuberculosis than the accepted
methods In ose for the last 10 or
years.
"He refuses to treat advanced cases
of pulmonary tuberculosis, although he
'has allowed extravagant statements of
his associates to the effect that he can
cure absolutely any and all forms of
the disease, to go uncontradicted. While
his original address to the Berlin Medi
cal Association did not contain the as
serf ton that, he could cure tuberculosis
f the lungs, he has made such asser
tions since coming to New Tork.
PHrlxaas'l Macnity Asserted.
"Judging from the cases coming un
der my observation while in New Tork
I cannot Indorse his statement of cur
ing lung tuberculosis. I believe, how
ever, that Dr. Friedmann is absolutely
honest in his belef that he has found a
universal core for all forms of tubercu
losls. You can't call him a faker. lie
Is sincere In everything he does and
says and seems to have full and com
plete confidence In himself. lie Is so
sure that he can cure pulmonary tuber
culosis that he does not require his pa
tient to' have fresh air while under-srolna-
treatment. I saw many of his
patients In Bellcvue Hospital sleeping
In rooms with the windows closed, Tne
nurses told me that Dr. Fried man n had
said they might be closed, lie Is con
fldent that an injection of his serum
will cure.
"While I found Dr. Friedraann a very
pleasant and highly intelligent young
' fellow, he has been unfortunate In sur.
rounding himself with unscrupulous
companions. Including sensational news
papermen and quack -doctors, who have
given him a bad standing In this coun
try and who have almost discredited
him entirely abroad.
Ir. Mataosj la Specialist.
Dr. Friedmann has met with consid
erable disfavor on account of his re
fusal, or his failure, to disclose the se
crets of how he obtains his bacilli, lie
seems to have discovered a turtle
bacilli for treating tuberculosis that Is
free from the danger of causing" ab
scesses. If Dr. Friedmann haa elimi
nated the possibility of these painful
formations following his treatment his
discovery Is a valuable one."
Dr. Matron, who is widely known aa a
specialist on tubercular diseases, has
submitted a report to the Governor, m-ho
appointed htm to go to New Tork on
behalf of the state. In part as follows:
"The principle of the Friedmann cure
Is not new. For years investigators
have attempted to effect a cure of
tuberculosis by the Injection of germs
altered so as to rob them of their
poisonous properties. -
"It Is evident that Dr. Friedmann
recently ha succeeded ' in discovering
a method tn the preparation of bis
culture whereby the Injection Is not
attended by abscess formation. This
really Is the only discovery connected
with his so-called 'cure.'.
Commercialism la Suggested.
"Friedmann's Inability to explain
why he came to America seems to jus
tify the suspicion 6f commercialism
rather than scientific interests.
"At the Hospital for Tuberculosis
Diseases of the Joints a d Deformities
1 saw Dr. Friedmann treat many pa
tients suffering from tuberculosis of
the bones and Joints, and also ob
served many cases which he had treat
ed weeks before. It is in this type of
cases that the most favorable results
of his treatment is seen. I waa told
by the hospital authorities that a great
Improvement followed the Injection of
his vaccine. Whether this Improve
ment will go on to complete recovery
Is Impossible at the present time to
sav.
The fact that several patients re
ceived the Friedmann cure and have
since died, although the treatment was
not In any way responsible for the
death, proves that this is not an abso
lute cure.
"As many weeks have already
elapsed since the first cases of pul
monary tuberculosis were treated and
no definite results have been obtained,
ft Is safe to say that many months
will pass before the Government ap
proves or disapproves of this prepara
tion, and until such time it. will be
absolutely Impossible for anyone to ob
tain th'i vaccine, for the reason that
the Government will not permit its .
transportation from state to state. In j
the meantime those suffering from tu-
berculosis should continue to adhere t
to the hygienic and'dieteUo measures .
recognixed for the treatment of this
disease. . and the great majority will j
recover." I

Honored and distinguished by learned
societies, by world's expositions, by
states and sovereigns and by the great
contemporaneous musicians, the Chick

the highest testimonials, awards and
Investitures embracing every known
method of publicly recognizing highest

The Latest Chickering Achievement
Commencing with the invention of the iron plate, which
was first successfully introduced by the Chickerings and
which was followed with brilliant invention after invention
making for the perfection of the American pianoforte, the
Chickering today has overcome every difficulty in the devel
opment of a perfect pianoforte.
Only a short while ago one of the scientific papers made
the assertion that one imperfection found in all pianos, even
in those of -the highest-priced makes, has been a deterioration
in tone quality due to the inability of the sound-board to
retain its tension. , .
Even this problem has been satisfactorily solved by the
Chickering experts through an ingenious arrangement of
spruce counter-bracing under the sound-board, whereby the
board itself is compelled to retain its crown and correct
curvature under all conditions, so that a purchaser of a
Chickering piano today is assured that instead of deteriorat
ing in tone quality, a Chickering will actually develop and
improve in tone exactly as does one of the superb art crea
tions 01 tne ancient vioim-maa-eio.

Late Millionaire Recalled. -
Almost the last of the old million
aires passed with the death of Andrew
McCreery. He was an eccentric old
gentleman, who Insistently adhered to
the simple ways of the life of his
pioneer days. There are countless
stories of his parsimony.
The newspaper men used to call him
RuBsell Sage, A reporter went to in
terview him years ago and Mr. Mc
Creery, after telling the details of 6ome
deal that he desired published, drew a
reluctant hand from his pocket.
"Here," he said, "I don't smoke, but
go get yourself a cigar, young man,"
and he offered the young man a B-cent
wo tatot nowRD&ner notoriety for
himself, and the special prominence of
his sons was particularly gauing. vv nen
th.lr matrimonial difficulties were
aired In the courts, he declined to dls-
nr anvthlnff relative to them.

Society Women Shun Baseball.
Is baseball likely to become a so
ciety diversion? Will the belles and
the matrons who figure in the social
register take up the great American
pastime? There were few women of
social prominence at the opening game
and although there are many feminine
fans, they are rarely drawn from the
Broadway or Hillsborough set.
These fair women seem to prefer polo
as a personal diversion. You can't get
women to attend a Bport which they
can't oultlvate themselves and so far
baseball hasn't had the necessary so
cial sanction.
But we may oome to It, as they have
to some extent In New York and Chi
cago. Just suppose the men of social
prominence who were at the opening
game had taken their women folks.
The society editors would have been

3 YEARS' SERVICE TOPIC
France Gripped by Question of Mili
tary Requirements.
PARIS. April 12. (Special.) France
ls dominated at present by "three
years." No other question is dis
cussed, or can be discussed, in the high
places of polttiCB, In the salons and the
cafes. From the sentinel of the Elysee,
who declared that he would accept,
without murmur, the new charge of
three years' military service, down to
the youngest schoolboy, the spirit of
the country ls one of calm resolution
and a desire to face the situation.
The attitude of youth is, Indeed, the
most gratifying feature. As far as one
can Judge, the movement in the lysees
ls perfectly spontaneous; It bears no
trace of being engineered by "pro
viseurs" or other official personages.
And it !s well that It Is so. It is all
very well for middle-age complacently
to decry the lengthened service; the
riBlng generation and the young man
actually with the colors have to pay
the price.
But there ls no finality even In the
present solution. It ls Impossible for
France, with a stagnant population,
to keep pace with the exuberant birth
rate of Germany. Three years' service
will give this country scarcely 600,000
men. "If we wish to attain the Ger
man peaoe effectives," writes a French
expert, "we must go to four years,
and even to Ave, In order to meet the
progressive diminution of our contin
gents." The only alternative la to
change the organization and to make
active use of the whole of the yearly
resources tn men, which ls not the case
at present.
If, as Ib alleged, the hypothetical en
emy has the Intention of employing
the whole of the recruits available
each year In the active organization,
the standing army will approach 866,
000 men. The French, on the other
hand, faced with a falling or station
ary birth rate, find it Impossible to In
crease the peace establishment without
prolonging the period with the colors.
The German troops stationed on the
frontier number five army corps. Not
only are they stronger than, those In
the Interior, but each unit ls up to Its
full strength. The amount of time re
quired for mobilization ls, therefore,
considerably shortened. Thus exists a
force ready at any moment to under
take an attack. This constitutes the
danger, and the principal technical
complaint against the French system
ls its lack of quick expanslveness In
time of war.
The Swedish explorer. Baron Krland
Nordenskiold, ls about to start on an
expedition through the interior of Ar
gentina, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Co
lombia. Baron Nordenskiold and hln
exploration party will traverse regions
In South America where no white man
has ever been. With this in view he
ls taking along an Evinrude detachable
rowboat motor which is expected to
save the Nordenskiold party from a
great deal of hardship and which will
be used first from Santa Cruz de la
Sierra, in Bolivia, along the Mamore
River to Corolco.r Bolivia, and later
from the Interior of Peru to Iquitos and
through half of Ecuador. Later the
Evinrude will be used in Colombia to
