Practically De-i

WASHINGTON. May Practical
denunciation of the claim ot Dr.
Frledinann to the discovery of a cure
for tuberculosis, though the denun
ciation was cautloualy expressed, was
voiced here today before the. conven
tion of the Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculoids by
Dr. John Anderaon of the United
Statea Public Health Service.
The report on the Frledmann treat
ment, which also waa signed by Dr.
A. M. Sllniaon, Anderson'a assistant
aa a government Investigator, said:
"We believe at the present time
that we are not in a position to ex
presa an opinion on the Frledinann
dlacovery based upon the present
condition of patlenta we 'have ob
served.
"The disease for which the rem
edy la uaed is prolonged and la char
acterized by periods of advancement
and retrocession. It is alto one In
which psychic Influence ia a powerful
factor. Tune la nceefrr to no-

In detail the condition of the patlenta
observed, we are In a position to
state that the effects thus far ol
eorved do not Justify that confidence
In the remedy Inspired by wlde
apread publicity.
Harm' From Undue Publicity.
"In our opinion harm baa been
done by the undue publicity, insofar
as it huB lessened the confidence of
tuberculosis persons In well recog
nized methods ot treatment or has
Interrupted their use, and we are
constrained to advise against any
lessening ot those well known mea
sures which not only have effected
cutas but have reduced the Incidents
of the disease."
Behind the whole report ot Ander
son and Stlmaon there was an under
current of criticism of Dr. Fried
mann. In one part the government
physician aay:
"The reticence and vacillation of
Dr. Frledmann has not In any way
been allowed to Interfere with our
Judgment of the effects ot hla rem
edy observed by us."
While admitting thai Frledmann
had often declared he did not desire
Judgment ot hi treatment based on
newspaper attacks, Dr. Anderson
said:
"Nevertheless, It is on these ac
counts that the public bases Its opin
ion until they are replaced by re
liable and unbiased scientific pro
nouncements, supported by convinc
ing data."
Attention also was directed to Dr.
Frledmann's published address be
fore the , Berlin Medical Society
stating intramuscular Injection was
the atandard or "sovereign" method
of administering treatment, but that
it offered some difficulties which
were overcome by the combined In
travenous and Intramuscular "meth

The report also discusses the tech
nical phaaea. declaring a considerable
portion of the patlenta they observed
"may expect their treatment at the
hands of Dr. Frledmann to extend
over a prolonged period."

found - to be an acid-fast organism,
having properties quite different
from those of any tuberculin bacilli
with which we are acquainted. It
appears to be Identical with an or
ganism cultivated from a small sized
matter used for injection which
Frledmann permitted us to have. We
requested Dr. Frledmann to furnish

can state, however, that living acid

SAM
Gill Netters Pre
pare! for Season
of Commercial
Fishing in Rogue
The commercial fishermen of the
city are preparing for the sixty daya
of open season which will commence
on the ird day of June, in accord
with the law passed at the last ses
sion of the state legislature.
The interests of the fishermen lo
cally are in charge of the officers of
the fishermen's union, of which or
ganization Tap Cole Is president, and
H. E. Gethlng secretary and man
ager. A fish warehouse 12x12 feet
In the clear, with cement floor, la to
be erected on ground which the
union baa leased from the city of
Grants Pass, the site being nine
tenths of an acre on the edge of the
city dump ground. A , three-year
lease Is taken on the property, and
the union agrees to keep the prem
ises in a sanitary and wholesome
condition at all times. , ' .
Ten boats belonging to members
ot the union are now ready to com
mence fishing ;.vitfc.-the or.et.linf 'C
the aeatonJEach hijat vlll drl't wll
its nets from a point a mile below the
steel bridge, where the fishing is to
commence, to the mouth ' of the
Jump-Off-Joe creek, the down stream
limit, where the nets must be raised.
This fishing is done at nlht, and
wagons meet the boats at. the lower
end of the fishing water, and bring
back boats, fishermen and catch. The
fishing water covers a distance of
about fifteen miles.
All members of the fishermen's
union will take the salmon caught
during the night . to the concrete
warehouse on the banks of the
Rogue, and here the royal chinooki
will be prepared for shipment. They
will also be offered for sale to any
one who wishes to purchase them at
the price being paid by the. Portland
market, which usually ranges
around seven or eight cents per
pound. No fish will be cut up at
the warehouse, but whole fish will be
sold at the ruling price. Ail not sold
locally will then be shipped to the
market that is making the best re
turns, the bulk probably going to
Portland, although in past years
when fishing waa permitted , ship
ments were made to many points to
the south. " '
In other years when the fishing
season was longer and more of the
stream was open to the gill netters,
thirty boats operated on the river.
This year the number will not exceed
half of that number as only two or
three that are outside the union are
expectsd to operate.
