FOUR BAN PLACED ON TUBERCULOSIS 'CURE'Of U, 5. Official Disapproval of Me thods of Dr. Friedmann An nounced by Public Health Service Today. Washington.—The seal of official disapproval has been placed upon the tuberculosis "cure" brought to till* country In 1913 by l)r. Frederick F. Friedmann of Berlin. The announce ment was made today by the United Stale* I’ubllc Health Service In mak ing public an abstract of the report of It* Investigation In hospital* and laboratorle* where tests of the Fried mann cultures were made. It declares that conclusions of the American phy sicians are In line with previous re ports, both In this country and abroad "which have refuted Dr. Friedmann's claim to the discovery of a specific cure for tuberculosis." Running Sore*. One-fourth of all cast s treated under the observation of American physi cian* developed running sores at the point of Injection of the "cure," the abstract says, adding that Dr. Fried mann admitted tht* to be unfavorable to effecting a cure but declared bis method of Injecting had overcome that obstacle. The report further states that the bacteria germs used for In jection by Dr. Frledmonn “show that the germ 1* different from varieties of tuberclo bacilli commonly known at the present time and that their In- Jectlor* into smaller animals render ed the subject more susceptible to tub ercular Infection Instead of more re sistant, as was claimed. No specific cases are reported In tbs abstract made public nor 1* any mention made of Dr. Friedmann’s method of preparing hi* culture. The abstract says In part: The Report. "This remedy was so widely her alded by sensational newspaper notice that It seems safe to say that there could hardly be a person of adult years In the country who did not hear something about It. or a victim of tuberculosis who did not experience a thrill of hope of speedy sud complete cure. The report naturally does not deal with the pitiful and sordid de tails of the scenes ensuing upon Dr. Friedmann's advent, of the crowds of Invalids, many of them penniless, battling for a chance to take the treat ment, of the greedy exploitation of hopeless cases who hnppened to have money and the turning sway of those ■who did not. The report details mere ly the medical observations made on certain patients, the laboratory stud ies on the culture used by Dr. Fried mann and refers to the normal pecu liarities of the doctor, only sufficient t«. make It clear that It was Ills own fault that the Investigation waa con tinued longer and upon a greater number of suitable case*. Cur* at Last. "It Is pointed out that the manner In which Dr. Friedmann presented his claims before the Berlin Medical So ciety made them paramount to a con tention that he had discovered at last the sovereign eure for tuberculosis In all Its forms, provided of course that the dlsense had not already progress ed beyond all hope of recovery. These claims the report takes up in detail and then draws the deadly parallel between them and the results of the application of the treatment to pa tients under the observation of the eervtee doctors. Whereas the rlalms are based on eases which always itecm to get well, or at least to show phenomenal Improvement after one or two Injections, the cases which re aoted In this manner among the test nor los were conspicuously few. Doesn’t Commit Itself. The report does not oommtt Itself as to whether the improvement noted In these few cases was due to the treat ment or to the stimulus of a great hope, or to unassignable causes which work Improvement In some cases of every large series but. It does point out distinctly that if any one prefers the first explanation he must is Jus tice attribute also to the treatment the very distinct and unusual deter ioration In the condition of certain other patients which progressed In some of them to a speedy death." PERMIT IN IRE WARFARE U. S. Minister Caldwell Prob ably Acted For Other Nations in Protest to Russia. Washington.—ls the report from Vi enna that the American minister at Teheran has protested to Russia against the alleged arrest of represen tatives of Austria-Hungary and Tur key at Tabriz, Persia, Is correct, Mr. Caldwell undoubtedly acted In his ca pacity as the temporary custodian of Hie affairs of those countries In Persia, it Is highly Improbable that he made j any move In the name of the Amer ican government. It's not clear that the American min ister has been entrusted with any re sponsibility by the belligerents In Per sia but It Is conceivable that n situa tion has arisen to make this possible. 1 Flooded With Placards.

STRIAE, BARBER SHIP SATURDAT i Gus Madebach Imported Two Non-Union Barbers, But it Seems They Joined Union on Arrival in Augusta-- State ments From Both Sides. A representative of tho Barbers’ Union In Augusta last night made the following statement regarding the Madebach strike yesterday: "Madebach was operating a union shop prior to Friday. One of his union barbers had Informed him that he would leave his employ at a cer tain time to go to another shop. However, he offered to stay with Madebach until the latter could fill his place. “Friday morning two non-union barbers came to Augusta from At lanta and went to Madebach's shop. The latter then immedlateb’ inform ed the barber who was working out his “notice,” that he could get out at once as he bad filled his position. This barber left and the twe non union barbers worked tho remainder of the day In the Madebach shop. Friday night there was a meeting of the barber's union and the non-union men from Atlanta Joined the Augusta barber’s union. Madebach was fined 1110 for employing non-union 'men. Saturday morning came and Made bach had not a single barber. The two non-union men had Joined tho union and the only union man he had left on Friday, when he summarily dismissed the man who was working out a notice, of course, did not return to work. Madebach later In the day secured a non-union barber and work ed the remainder of the day with only one assistant. The only way In which Madebach can bo reinstated Is for him to pay the find and refuse to employ non-union barbers any lon ger. Then his union card will be re stored to him.” Madebach was asked for a state ment and he said: "Because the union imposed a fine of $lO on me for giving up my union shop card on Friday I withdrew from the union and am now operating an ‘open’ shop. Another shop waß suc cessful In Its efforts to get one of my best barbers to leave me and I* had an opportunity of Importing two good burtons from Atlanta. I wired for them Immediately. When they ar rived in Augusta these Atlanta bar bers, who were then non-union men, were met hy members of the union and Induced to Join. Consequently the conditions facing me on Saturday, a very busy day, were embarrassing. However, I. secured other barbers and by noon was running all right.”’ NINE NEW SINGERS.
