NO. 4 OF BRITISH Chamberlain’s Resolution Attack ing Clayton-Bulwer and Hay- Pauncefote Treaties Meets With Commendation at Washington. O’Gorman, Bristow, and Smith of South Carolina Give Patriotic Views—“England Has No Vital Interests at Stake,” Says One. Copyright, 1913, by The Georgian Company. ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 19111. PRICE FIVE CENTS. Rich Man Plans “Down and Out” Hotel Memorial Charles G. Dawes Will Erect Place at Cost of $100,000 to Son’s Memory. WASHINGTON. April 26—The United States Senate is overwhelm ingly in favor of abrogating all treat ies with Great Britain affecting the Panama Canal. Senator O'Gorman, Chairman of the Committee on Interoceanio Canals, so declared to-day. His comment was . ailed forth by Senator Chamberlain's resolution to abrogate both the Clay ton-Bulwer and Hay-Pauncefote treaties, which was Introduced to day. The resolution aroused widespread discussion and instantly met with many indorsements, notably from Senator Bristow, also of the ('ana! ■ ommittee. and Senator Smith, of South Carolina. Predicts Resolution's Passage. Senator O’Gorman said: I am glad Senator Chamberlain offered this resolution in the Sen ate. I believe that after the Sena tors have studied It they will see the necessity for action of this sort and that it will pass bv a large ma jority*. If we are to be harassed all the time with protests against our ad ministration of the canal, as there sre indications that we shall be, then it would be better for us to at once go <to the root of the trouble and do away with the treaty altogether upon which Great Brit ain rests her protests. Great Britain has no vital inter ests at stake. She has lost noth ing, for her rights are as strong as those of any other nation, and will be respected. She persistently' violated the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, that was revived and rewritten into the Hay- Pauncefote treaty, and if upon those Treaties she continues to protest iL would be just as well to clear up the whole subject bv wiping out these treaties entirely. Doubts Root Interpretation. Senator Bristow said: I do not believe the Hay-Paunce fote treaty bears the construction .Senator Boot gives it. I do not be lieve it was intended that it should bear that construction. But if that Interpretation is correct, then these treaties should be abrogated at once. No self-respecting nation would abdicate its sovereignty over its domestic affairs as Senator Root contends we did when we ne gotiated the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Senator Smith said: 1 am strongly in favor of the po sition taken by Senator Chamber- lain. The administration of the Panama Canal, the fixing of the rates to be charged our coastwise ships is a domestic question. The I'nited States will control its do mestic affairs as seems best to ita own people, without the interfer ence, suggestions or threats of any other nation on earth—treaties or no treaties. U. S. Has Exclusive Rights. Senator Chamberlain said he had prepared a list of papers for the pub- - . showing the United States had iusive rights in Panama before either the Clayton-Bulwer or the : ^y-Pauncefote treaty was executed. He asserted Great Britain, when these ties were negotiated, had full Knowledge of these rights. A meeting of the Interoccanlc ! 'anals Committee had been called for o-morrow, but it was postponed un til next Tuesday. Senator Root's bill f °r a repeal of the toll exemption revision is now before the commit tee. New Support Is Promised. It was apparent to-day that much <>f the support that was mustered in ' he last session to prevent the change P the toll exemption provision of will now be brought to the support °‘ the plan to abrogate treaties that 5J a V be Interpreted as giving Great Retain any ground for protest. Abrogation of treaty involves the ' 0, nt action of botfi Houses of Con- J» resa and the approval of the Presi- d jnt. The last treaty abrogated by lUnited States was the Russian ‘reaty of commerce and navigation, because Congress held American Jews Yw Fe not treated on an equality w*ith oth * r Americans (ravelin* in Russia CHICAGO. April 26.—Charles G. Dawes, former Controller of the Cur rency and now President of the ('mi tral Trust Company of Illinois, has set aside $100,000 of his fortune at erect, as a memorial to his son, Ru fus FVaring Dawes, drowned Iasi September, a hotel for “down-and- out” men in Chicago. Should this philanthropy prove successful, Mr. Dawes plans to construct a similar refuge for women “In memory of my dear son," said Mr., Dawes to-night, “I shall during the present year inaugurate the work which we had often planned to carry on together, and u which for the rest of my life 1 shall devote that part of my time, not required by business du ties. As the first step, 1 shall erect on the west side a hotel at an ex penditure of $100,000, to be known! as the Rufus Dawes Hotel. Lodging will be furnished at cost, not to ex ceed 6 cents. The doors of this hotel never will be closed to those out of employment. It will extend credit to! the unfortunate upon their promise alone. A free employment agency will be run in connection with the hotel. I shall hope later to establish 8 similar hotel for women. “My boy was greatly interested In the Y. M. (’.

ARMUCHEE, GA.. April 26. .Jus tice of the Peace W. N. Sleraan, of this militia district, is in a bad way for the transaction of future business, and unless the State of Georgia comes to his rescue he likely will have to trust to his memory hereafter as to what Is what in Georgia law. A cyclone that passed up the Ar muchee Valley recently picked up his honor's law library, consisting of one ■Code and four volurm* of Legislative Acts, and put It down somewhere to his honor unknown, but probably not nearer than the next county, anyway. Justice Sleman has wigwagged the State Department of Georgia for a new Code and some more volumes of Legislative Acls, but as there appears to he no authority whereby they may be forwarded, he is more or less up a stump. He says the income of his of- fioe 1s not sufficient to warrant the purchase of a new library, and that unless the State comes across, he like ly will have to guess at the law here after, and let it go at that. Blind Tiger Dean Gets Heavy Sentence ’Dad’ Milllnix, Aged 82, Escapes Jail Sentence on Plea of Good Conduct In Future. I.INDALE, OA„ April 26.—"Dad" Millinix, aged 82. one of the best known white men in this place, was convicted in the Superior Court to day of being a "blind tiger,” and was sentenced to pay a fine of $100. Millinix is believed to be the oldest “blind tiger” in the State, and entitled to be known as the dean of the corps. Although “Dad” is 82, this is his first offense, or, at least, it is the first time he ever has been caught and haled into court. He promised the judge faithfully not to indulge in the “blind tiger” business any more, how ever, and upon that promise escaped a term In jail. The old man has made a specialty of handling corn liquor exclusively, il seems, and says he acquired a habit 50 years ago of taking three nips of "mountain dew" a day. Indeed, he attributes his long life and future- health prospects to this regular in dulgence in “white lightning.” $2 A WEEK WILL BUY HOME FOR WORKINGMAN HAMMOND, IND., April 26.—A thousand workingmen's homes to he built at a cost of $1,500,000, and to be purchased by men whose sole claim for credit is that they have saved $100, will be built in Hammond by a group of manufacturers to solve the housing problem in the Calumet re gion and to do away with transients. Purchasers will assign from $2 to, $5 a week to the housing company and will be given deeds at the end of so many months. The manufacturers admit their mo tive is partly selfish and that it will build up the labor market to supply demands, but they are willing to trust their workingmen and predict an added population of 5,000 to the city. BT! GREEN'S BLUE AND GRAY SUN TIDES OF CAMP PREPARED I FOB IDEAL AT GETTYSBURG Wealthy Bachelor Retires to Soli tude of Texas Ranch Still Without a Loving Wife. 40,000 Veterans of Both Armies Will Gather to Celebrate Fiftieth Anniversary. TOO MANY APPLICANTS ALL GUESTS OF THE STATE ST I.OUIB, April 26.—The trail of t lie ideal girl has grown rold for Colonel E. H. R. Green, of New York, and heartsick and discouraged he is about to give It up altogether. To day, with a heart unloved and unlov ing, he Is a lonely figure on his Texas plantation, for which place he left St. Louis two days ago. To make it more of a tragedy, be it known that Colonel Green is the son of Mr Hetty Green, and one of the very best things we have in multi millionaires. And he is past fifty. And he yearns for a mate. And a hundred thousand maidens stand ready to fling themsuives at his head. Two years and a half Colonel Green has been on the trail, and thousands of women, having heard of his hunt for a wife, have placed themselves in the path of his discriminating feet. But he has avoided them, and still is a bachelor. It is not bet a use he is too fastidious. H« j didn’t want much at the first. When he told of his desire for a wife, he specified: An old-fashioned, modest, stay- at home, fireside woman, who will not think too much about my money. He might have added: Or keep a weather eye on possible alimony. Not much, he asked. In fact, it was too simple, and the applicants were legion. They came in flocks. The world of Colonel Green seemed made up altogether of “old-fashioned, modest, stay-at-home, etc.” maidens. He knew* it could not be so, and sagaciously began to ponder. It is re corded that his meditations ran some thing like this: “They can’t all be like that. No. Then they are deceiving me, some of them. Maybe all of them are de ceiving me, 1 don’t know. I can’t tell. Therefore, I will have nothing to do with any of them.” Hence, the son of the wealthiest woman in the world is still a bach elor, with no intention of changing the situation. He has a half-indif ferent eye out for the Ideal girl still, but he is not advertising the fact. “I am not in the matrimonial mar ket any longer,’ he said the other day, stopping in St. Louis on his way to Texas. He would rather find out for him self than take the word of the can didates. There’s no hurry, you know, He has waited something more than half a century already.

MEEKER, COLO., April 26—After having been knocked around with oth er rubbish, covered with dust and de bris and regarded for years as having not enough value to be hung up on the walls, what Is believed to be one of Rembrandt's most famous pictures has been unearthed in the home of Postmaster Gramm, of Sunbeam, in Western Colorado. It Is said the work is worth $30,000. It is being taken to Chicago for appraisal. The picture bears the Rembrandt family resemblance, and It Is believed a sister posed for It in the year before the master's death, after the home had been moved from Leyden to Amster dam. The picture came into the Gramm family through a grandfather of Mr*. Gramm, once a ship's physician, who served a woman of note so faithfully on a trip between Berlin and New York that before she died on ship board she gave him the painting. It is said Dr. Rader refused $20,000 for it In New York. MILLIONAIRE, BUT DIES IGNORANT OF THE FACT MARINETTE, WIS., April 26 — Michael Ryan, who died twenty year* ago at Iron River, Mich., where he was known as "Mickey,” was several times over a millionaire, hut never knew it.

The State of Pennsylvania will provide all the entertainment at Get tysburg for the veterans, and that State .and the National Government by appropriations of $150,000 each will .maintain a great camp around the battle field, equipped with all pos sible conveniences for the comfort of the old soldiers. Camp on Immense Field. The camp will be established on a field which embraces some 280 acres. This Is In the vicinity of the High Water Monument on the Battlefield of Gettysburg. It lies to the south west of the town, and Includes part of the tract covered in the first day’s fight. There will be 5,000 tents, in tended to accommodate twelve men each, but only eight veterans will be assigned to a tent. Each veteran will be supplied with a separate cot, blanket, and mest kit. The mess kit will become his property. Each ten*, will be furnished with water buckets and candles. Towels, soap, and toilet articles will be provided by the vet erans themselves. Meals will be served to them at tables adjoining the kitchen at the end of each com pany street. The veterans will be restricted to hand baggage. Must Send Number. Each State, through its representa tive, must advise the Battle of Get tysburg Commission how many vet erans it will send, and that State’s delegation will be assigned to a sec tion of the camp with sufficient tents for Its veterans.

The National Government will not furnish Use transportation. Jolm M. Vandiver, Hacked by Congressman Lee, Probably Will Withdraw From Race. ROME, GA,, April 26.- At least one first-class postofiice is to be awarded by the direct interference of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the President's wife, if the information received in this city from Washington Is cor rect. J. Park Bowie is reported, upon most trustworthy authority, to have been assured by Mrs. Wilson that she has recommended him to Postmaster General Burleson for the Rome post- mastership, with the further assur ance that this means the early pas sage along of the recommendation to the President. This la taken to mean that Mr. Bowie unquestionably will be given the Rome assignment, which carries a salary of $3,200 per annum. In deed, it has been stated that all. the other candidates will withdraw in Mr. Bowie’s favor, If the report that Mrs. Wilson has made a personal matter of his appointment prove to be true, as given out. John M. Vandiver Favored. It is known that Representative Gordon Lee favored John M. Van diver. former postmaster, for this place. Mr. Vandiver was throw’n out by the Republicans sixteen years ago on short notice and with several years of his commission yet to run. He made one of the very best post masters Rome ever had. and Mr. Lee intended*that he should be restored. When, however, it was hinted broadly to the Congressman that Mrs. Wil son might interfere, he withheld his indorsement of Vandiver, pending de velopments. Mrs. Wilson's interference in the Rome situation Is said to have been brought about in two ways. In the first place, Rome is her girlhood home, and the Bowies were warm friends in those days. Mrs. Wilson’s father, the late Rev. Dr. Axson, w’as for many years the pastor of the First Presby terian Church of Rome, and a memo rial tablet in the church to-day attests the great love and affection the con gregation had for him. The Bowies have been pillars in that church since its organization, and when Park Bow ie appealed to Mrs. Wilson for help in landing the Rome office It seems he did not appeal in vain. In the second place, there is said to be a very marked and emphatic dis agreement between Representative Lee and Senator Smith as to Mr. Van diver, the reported choice of Mr. I>f*«. Vandiver is known to bo particularly obnoxious to the junior Senator, who is said to have voiced a determination not to permit his confirmation, if Mr. Lee succeeded in having the former postmaster named. Mrs. Wilson is known to have been made aware of this acute situation, and is said to have determined, therefore, upon BowleV appointment, if she could bring it about, as a solution of a knot ty problem. Lee Remains Silent. Congressman Lee bus not said any thing. so far as Rome knows, about the new situation, but those close to him admit that It would embarrass him no little to oppose Mrs. Wilson, and that he most likely would not do so. if Mrs. Wilson has gone as far in the matter as Mr Bowie has been given to understand, and it certainly seems that she has, it looks ns if he is to land the Job. If not, Congressman Leo may yet name Vandiver, and the contest over his confirmation may or may not develop in th»- Senate. The present postmaster, John R. Barclay, who is both popular and effi cient, is holding over under an ex pired commission and 1e ready to turn over his office to a succewor whenever tiie word cornea down the line. His commission ran out on February 10. Mr. Bowie is a well known business man. for several years retiml, and is widely connected, both by blood and marriage, throughout northwest Geor gia. He would be entirely acceptable to Rome ns a postmaster. COURT TRIAL STOPPED FOR WEDDING CEREMONY SEATTLE, April 26—For the first time in the history of the Superior Court of King County a trial was stopped, a couple were married In the presence of the Jury, a vocal solo ("The Star Spangled Banner”) was rendered, and a photographer set off enough flush to cause a report that the court house had blown up The Judge was John E. Humphries, of Department No. 6; the wedded couple were Edward I* Smith and Miss Leonle Terirer, of .Seattle, and the songster was Mrs. Lillian B. Holmes. When the notes of the singer reached the corridors of the court house there was a rush from other de partments to No. 5. The court room was erowded to eapaelty by an audi ence that remained to the laet. Prisoners trt the County Jail, hear ing the musk, raised their voices In great volume in the chorus. maintain- T HE SUNDAY' AMERICAN to-day tells for the first time WHY some of the greatest medicaf experts of the day and the United States government have received Dr. Friedmann and liis antj-tuhereulosis bacilli with skepticism. The AMERICAN to-day presents the OTHER SIDE of the Dr. Friedmann ease and gives the answer to the subject, which the whole country is wondering about. Tens of thousands of victims of tuberculosis and millions of their rlat.ives want to know WI1Y Dr. Friedmann has been re ceived will] reserve. The situation appears to be this: 1—Many eminent men in the medical fraternity here and abroad consider Dr. Friedmann's cure it not all that he claims it to be. 2—Just as many eminent physicians believe Dr. Friedmann hat die- covered the long sought for cure for tuberculosis. 3—Dr. Friedmann's record has been watched by American medical men for years, his cures and his failures professionally recorded. <1—Out of 1,012 cases treated by him up to 1912, Dr. Friedmann claimed enough cures to warrant nit stating to his colleagues that the success of his cure was assured. 5—Professor Karfunkel, a German colleague, said that out of a tot.il of 200 pulmonary consumptives he had not seen a single case which did not react favorably to the remedy. • 6—Professor Schloicher, another German colleague, thought so well of the Friedmann treatment for consumptives that he felt himself pro fessionally bound to turn over all his pulmonary patients to Dr. Fried mann for treatment. 7—Professor Kausch, another colleague, said he eimply could not im- agme how in a chronic infectious unease like tuberculosie one or two injections were sufficient for a cure. 8—Another member of the Berlin Medical Society declared that, when a number of reputable physicians said they had had success with the Friedmann remedy, “anyone who has not worked with this remedy must for the time being maintain silence and await further develop- menta.” , 9 ~ Th « majority of the American medical fraternity, while conced ing the Friedmann cure may have many of the virtues its discoverer claims for it, say its introduction to the scientific world hae given op- portunity for doubt and criticism. 10—The one feature most objected to ie the secrecy which Dr. Fried mann has maintained concerning its exact character, 11 —This secrecy American medical men suspect has been ed in order that he may tell his formula for a large price. 12 Dr - Friedmann announced his cure under the protection of hie professional relations and then came to thie country acting under bad advice and sought t- exploit it commercially. 13—Dr. Friedmann was reputably quoted as ssylng he intended te practice privately in New York and would "lot those who could pay an appropriate fee.” 14—The United State Government, through its public health offi- rials, acted to protect the people from treatment and false hopee through the Friedmann cure until it had been proved to their satisfaction tha cure was bona-fide. 15—Should Dr. Friedmann prove the efficacy of his cure the medical fraternity will be quick to forget hie mistakes and give him the honer and credit he deserves. 15—If his treatment fails the physicians of America will never re gret having given him a fair hearing. NOTHING NEW IN FRIEDMANN DISCOVERY, SAY EXPERTS ment by Dr. Friedmann of anoth er “cure" for tuberculosis, It would seem well to review some of the facts previously known. Even editors of medical jour nals who should be conversant With the history of medicine and of tuberculosis, have been led Into grave error. For example, a recent editorial In a medical journal from which the Literary Digest makes the statement that Friedmann came to the convic tion that the most potent cura tive and immunizing processes lie In the living bacterial organism itself, and not In the dead organ ism, as used In the method of Wright and his school.” The ed itorial says further, "Our own impression from the entire debate is that Friedmann has enunciat ed a principle of far reaching consequence, and has probablv discovered a remedy that Influ ences _ tuberculosis favorably.” The effect of this editorial is to credit to Friedmann the dis covery that In order to -produce immunization against tuberculo sis living cultures aTe necessary. For the truth of American-phy sicians It Is well to point out some of the things which were done years ago. In 1892 and 1893 Trudeau of Saranac Lake demonstrated the fact that subcutaneous inocula tion of living culture of the 4v1*n tubercle bacillus greatly Infreas - The position of American medical men as concerns Dr. Friedmann is clearly set forth in the Journal of the American Medical Association. In the March I number this Journal pub lishes a letter from its Berlin corre spondent. in which was quoted a statement by Professor Bier, direct jr of the Berlin Surgical t'llnic, discred iting Friedmann. Bier said: 1 must oublk'ly protest against the misuse of my name for the recommendation of a remedy of whose effectiveness I have, so far, no evidence. I hope that this statement may find its way into the foreign press as quickly and as widely as my alleged recom mendation of the treatment. It should also relieve me of the bur den of constantly answering let ters and stating that X have seen as yet no evidence of any unus ual curative action of Fried mann’s treatment. In an editorial, the same Journal March 8, 1913, went to great length to refute a statement in the Liter ary Digest that Friedmann had dis covered a new principle, and Inci dentally supported every process claimed by Friedmann except his claim of the curative power on hu man beings of his turtle serum The editorial was headed "Misau- prehenslon as to the novelty of the Friedmann treatment.” It read: “Misapprehension Treatment.” In view of the newspaper sen sation caused by the annjnnce-
