Berlin, Feb, 20. Information was ob.

remedy for tubercuIosisapplied several
months.. ago for American, patents cov
ering the i'remV(ly'.ttnd-W-nufactur

Washington, Fob, 20. Officials of the
patent orflce here today refused to alt
cuss a Berlin cablegram that Dr. Friend
mann had applied for patnenfs on his
turtle serum for tuberculosis. The law
permits the patenting of culture but
not of tho method of Injecting them.
Southampton, Knglsnd, Feb. 20.De.
Frederick, Fran Friedmann, discoverer
of .the tutrle serum which is declared
to be a ; specif lo for luberculosla, ar
rived here yesterday on board, the
steamer Kron Prlnsessin Cecelia on Ils
way to the United States. v
i "I .expect to. treat several, hundred
children Jn New York. -.for tuberculosis
of the bone," said Friedmann. "t shall
also investigate the brfer of Mr. Flnlay
to pay $1,000,000 for a cure for tuber
culosis which wilt aid Sir per cent of
Its victims. .: v ' I ;
. "While 1 am In America I hope to- find
a proper method of introducing my
treatment and to arrange for the in
struction of physicians in order to guar
antee the safe handling of my, serum."
Berlin, Feb. 1. With the reluctant
admission by the medical profesion that
the live non-vlrulent tuberculosis bacilli
may mean a big. advancement In the
treatment of tho "white plague," the
question .- of who discovered it Js !
veloplng here- Into a sort, Of "Cook
1'eary" controversy. ? -
. Dr. Frederick Frans Friedmann first
used It upon humans, but Dr, Plorkow
ski disputes the discovery with him.
ftival. Claims SiscoYiry. '
Dr. Plorkowskl, one of the ablest
bacteriologists In Germany, was Fried
mann s bacteriologist for some time In
1001 and again in 1903. ; It was In
Plorkowski'a laboratory. that Friedmann
Is alleged to have discovered and de
veloped his non-vlrulent germ. '
UJQivJiQrkowskl jays that M .haben
working with the germ since 1903, put
ting It. through turtle after turtle dur
ing that time, in order to make It abso
lutely, non-vlrulent He claims , that
Friedmann followed the same course.
He admits that Friedmann was the first
to try it upon humans. He did not
give it out to physicians to experiment
with until after Friedmann made his
announcement Since then, he says, sev
eral physicians have been using the
Piorkowski germ with good results.
Dr, plorkowskl said: "You may say
for me that I have every reason to be
lieve that my germ Is identical with
pf Frjedmann's bacillus" j
7 ; Gives Culture Away. . '
, Unlike Friedmann, Plorowskl has
given his Culture to several physicians,
among them Dr. Austin B. Held of
Pittsburg, whoarrived in New York
February 3.
For a time the question was raised
whether Frledmann's germ was not an
"American animal." There is said to
havo been a live, non-vlrulent tubercu
losis bacillus culture in the laboratory
of Dr. Trudo and Dr. Baldwin, at Sara
nac Lake, N. Y., for years a freak
germ taken from the lungs of a child.
Two shipments from this culture were
made to Berlin, tho first in 1804 and
the second in 1006. As this was some
time after Frtedmana'a discovery, there
appears to be no connection.
The opening statement frfr Robert
Wakefield & Co. In the nuit against the
city for $408,000, claimed as due en the
Mount Tabor reservoirs, was started by
Attorney Thomas Mannlx this morning
and will occupy the entire day. Mr.
Mannix stated this morning that he
would probably b compelled to continue
next Monday.- The statement consists
largely In a repetition of the fact con
tained In the complaint and Is a sum
ming up of the basis for tho sum BBkQd.
Following Mr. Mannix atatement Dep
uty City Attorney Tomlinson will pre
sent the contentions of the city, which
will take about the same length of
time. No court will be held tomorrow
as Circuit Judge Morrow, before whom
the trial Is being held, Will hear motions
and other extpartfl mdtterguj .galarday,
his' regular motion day, is a holiday
and no court will be held on that date.

education the womn of .tho club, with
the cooperation of the members of the

Ma I ley, representing the grocers, said
that tho retail grocer had been placed In

; "Th retail grocer has been alsed up
entirely wrong," said Mr, MUy. W'
want 19 f- work side by eld by the
consumer and help them all we can, for
in our business they are our only
friends. But the people do 'not seem
to understand that w must live the
same a they do." ; ':',
Ha fltcd examples of how women
would telephone to a store and ask that
little articles upon which there was no
profit be sent to their homes, over a
mile away. These things he said were
responsible for the high cost of living
and not th fault of th merchant..'
Everyone . present agreed that ; the
trouble waa not with the merchant but
with the consumer, and that it was the
housewife that should see, to It that
conditions wor bettered. . .
Among those present this morning
were Mis Helen Gillespie, Mrs. A. Ktng
WJlson, representing the women' club;
J. E. Malley, J. C Mann, representing
