"There was no talk today," said Mr.
Garrison, "about individuals or any par-

the reports of various committees on

the question as to the overlapping of

Inasmuch as this subjeot has bean

it is evident that the new plan will be

ATTORNEYS ENGAG
E
N VERBAL BATTLE
Accusations of unprofessional con
duct and sarcasm were exchanged yes.
terday by Attorney L. C Mackay and
Attorneys Boothe and Richardson, in
an argument for the substitution of at
torneys In the damage uit of Adolph
Btraueh against the Portland Gas A
Coke company. Boothe and Richardson
secured a contract from Strauch by
whloh they were to receive one-third
of any damages collectej, Strauch
claims the contract was secured
through trickery. Circuit Judge Kava
naugh postponed the argument until
next week.
After he had signed the contract he
began to talk over the case with friends
and heard rumors of trouble In which
Boothe and Richardson had been in
volved, he declared. An appeal was
made to German'speaking people, and
hi, Majeske and Rudolph Markwart
were appointed a committee to look into
the case. They became suspiolous, and
advised Strauch to change attorneys.
Strauch went to several attorneys, and
finally secured Mackay' j services.
Majeske declared that Strauch was
approached at the hospital by an "am
bulance chaser," or solicitor, for
Boothe and Richardson, and gavs his
case to the firm. He signed a paper
which, he now declares, he thought was
the complaint, but which waa the con
tract The real cause of the trouble
is said to be an offer of the gas com
pany to settle for $4500, which Boothe
and Richardson are r unwilling ;t ' do.
Boothe and Richardson declare that
they have a good case, as Strauch was
badly injured in a cave-in in a ditch
last November. He ask 120,000 dam
ages. . Boothe and Richardson declare
they are welling to give up the case
if paid for their services to date, and
for what they have spent on the case.

tract seemed good on the, face,, but

In place of the usual trolley pole for
eleotrlo cars an Iowa inventor has
brought out a car with a rail 00 top,
which takes current from brushes sus
pended from, an overhead' wlro, the
brushes being spaced so tflat two always
touch the rail, 1
thighs, and In some cases arms, were
bared, and Dr. Frledmann began inject
ing. The first patient was a raven
haired little girl of 14 years, whose
father had died Of tuberculosis. She
was In the second stage. Dr. Frledmann
made the injection quickly and patted
her pigtails encouragingly when she
was wheeled away.
Then followed a X-year-old girl -in
the third stag of the disease, a blonds
haired girl of 25 and a little Italian girl
with tubercular glands.
6he grimaced with pain when the
cloth bracer was tightened about her
arm, but looked at Dr. Frledmann with
the confidence with which children seem
to regard him.
Frledmann Injected a tenth of a cubic
centimeter In this child's arm and one
half of a "C, C." into her thigh. After
one incipient case had been rejected at
the suggestion of Dr. Bran nun, three
more girls and women were treated.
. The twelfth case was thkt of a I-year-old
boy, upon whose right cheek
was a tubercular skin lesion. There
wore also lumps on the right side of the
face. Dr. Frledmann examined the baby
and then announced that he would in
ject into the Jugular vein, because of
the difficulty of getting into veins in
the elbow. He patted the youngster on
the cheek while one of his assistants
Ireld the little fellow by his heels so
that the large vein in the neck would
Stand out more clearly. .
"" . Treats Vansnal Case,
The most Important ease of the day
to Dr. Frledmann from a medical stand
point was that of a jnan who for seven
years has suffered from a terrible lupus
on the face. The face has been disfig
ured out of all semblance to that of
a human.-. being. During the course of
his affliction the patient had tried
tubercullne X-rays but with no effect
The last two patients suffered from
tuberculosis of the kidneys.
After the clinic Dr. Frledmann was
congratulate upon his technique and
surgical skill by a number of the phy
sicians present.
Dr. Frledmann announced today that
be will probably return to Berlin In 1
a couple of weeks for the purpose of
treating patients In his private hos
pital. He will return to this country
however, within a fortnight of his ar
rival on the other side.
Tomorrow night Dr. Frledmann, Ms
