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,

rency and now President of the ('mi

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.

Armuchee Justice of Peace Practical
ly Put Out of Business
by Loss.
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

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.

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.

Rembrandt Kicked
About for Years
Old Paintng Discovered in Home of
Colorado Postmaster May Be
a Masterpiece.
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.

have been Invited to attend the cele
bration.
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.
To avoid, as far as possible, conges
tion on the railroads at Gettysburg,
the camp will he ready for the re
ception of the old soldiers on June
29. Supper will be the first meal
served that day. The camp will con
tinue open on through the celebration
until July 6, when the last meal serv
ed will be breakfast. Under acts of
the Pennsylvania Assembly and Con
gress, only veterans of the Civil War
will be provided with food, shelter
and entertainment within the camp
around the battlefield. Women and
children accompanying the veterans
cannot be taken care of within the
camp.
Families Barred From Camp.
Veterans, therefore, are advis
ed that they should not bring any
member of their families, for whom
they will have to obtain food and
quarters outside the camp, without
first making arrangements for them.
Before a veteran Is admitted to the
camp ne must produce credentials
such as his honorable discharge, pen
sion certificate or a certificate of ser
vice.
It will be left to each Common
wealth, State and Territory to dis
criminate in the issuance of free
transportation The State of Penn
sylvania will furnish free transporta

veterans now living In her borders.
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.

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-
