REPORT IS AGAINST FRIEDMANN
/ \
A
Government Physicians Say Condi*
tion of Patients Does Not Justify
Much Conscience.
Washington.—Public health service
observations into the condition of Dr.
F. F. Friedmann's vaccine Innocu-
lated tuberculosis patients do not
"Justify that confidence in the rem-
edy which has been inspired by wide-
■spread publicity."
The first authentic and official con-
clusion from the tests was announced
here before the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of
Tuberculosis by Dr. John F. Ander-
son, director of the government's
hygienic laboratory, and by Dr. A. M.
Stimson, another public health sur-
geon, detailed to Observe the progress
of the Friedmann patients at Mount
Sinai hospital in New York.
"The disease for which the remedy
Is used is prolonged and is character
Ized by periods of advancement and
retrogression," the report says. "It
is also one in which physical in
ffluences are a powerful factor. Time
r]s therefore necessary properly to
evaluate the effect of treatment."

SECRETARY BRYAN ADDRESSING .CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE
The American Ambassador to Mexico
Not Wanted There by Presi
dent Huerta.
The City of Mexico.—Henry Lane
Wilson, the American ambassador to
'Mexico, lias practically received his
passports. President Huerta in an
extra official conversation with Mr.
Wilson said affairs had reached a
point where Mexico could no longer
treat in a diplomatic manner with the
United States unless his government
is officially recognized.
This news leaked out In certain
circles and many believe that Mr.
Wilson either will receive his pass-
ports or be recalled in view of his
government's continued refusal to
recognize the Huerta administration.

SafTordville, Kan—The honeymoon
trip of Douglas G. Hertz of Kansas
City and his bride, who was Miss
Madeline Lawless of Strong City.
Kan., came to a tragic end here. A
motor car in which they were riding
was struck by Santa Fe passenger
train No. 5, killing Mrs. Hertz and
dangerously injuring her husband.
Mr. and Mrs. Hertz were married
in Kansas City, Kan., a few days ago.
They had motored to Cottonwood
Falls and were on the way to Strong
City, where they expected to visit
Mrs--Hertz's sister, Mrs. Edward Ma-
loney, wife of a Strong City business
man.
Caught Between Tracks.
Arriving at Saffordville they are
said to have taken a wrong road
which took them across the Santa Fe
tracks at the Saffordville depot. They
discovered their mistake and started
to turn between a spur track and the
main line. Just as they tried to re-
cross the tracks again the train
passed. The motor car was demol-
ished.
Mrs. Hertz died almost Immediate-
ly after the accident. Mr. Hertz suf-
fered a severe fracture of the skull
and physicians say his recovery is
doubtful. He was taken to St. Mary's
hospital in Emporia on an eastbound
train which arrived a few minutes
later. The body of Mrs. Hertz also
was taken to Emporia.
The bride was a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James L. Lawless, who lived
in Strong City for many years. Mr.
Hertz met her in Topeka while trav-
eling. She was 21 years old.

two or more companies may use the

Montreal—The fate of the Titanic
was escaped by the steamer Chilton
Range in a collision with an iceberg
to the east of the Nawfoundland
banks on its voyage from Hull to
this port, where it has just arrived.
The bow plates of the steamer, a
British freighter, were dented, and
only the fact that it luckily slid off
the ice mass and escaped contact
with any sharp section of the under-
lying part of it saved it from disas-
ter in Captain Rea's opinion. ,
The berg was in the track of the
ocean liners, but some distance to
the north and east of the spot where
the Titanic met its fate. After the
collision the steamer was surrounded
by icebergB, which, although they
could not be seen because of fog, evi-
denced their presence by the echoes
that resounded from their towering
sides at every blast from the steam-
er's whistle.

downward, was passed by the house

ocrats voting against the bill and two
Republicans voting for It. Four Pro-
gressives supported the measure and
fourteen opposed it, while one Inde-
pendent Progressive joined with the
majority.
When Speaker Clark announced the
vote in loud tones that revealed his
satisfaction in the arrival of the day
he long had sought, exuberant Demo-
crats hoisted a stuffed Democratic
donkey over the heads of their col
leagues In the rear of the chamber
a faint ripple of applause followed
and the gavel fell on the first chap
ter in the history of President Wil-
son's extra session of congress.
Republicans and Progressives led
respectively by Representative Mann
of Illinois and Representative Mur
dock of Kansas, protested to the last
against the measure, the lowest tariff
hill ever written, and proclaiming,
the Democratic avalanche bowled
them over, the virtues of differing
tariff commission plans.
Republicans who voted for the bill
were Carey and Stafford of Wiscon-
sin. Democrats who opposed It were
Broussard, Dupre, Lazaro and Mor-
gan of Louisiana, on account of the

SUMMER FALLOW HABIT BAD
Waste of Tims snd Humus In Wheat
Belt of Northwest—Ons Interest-
ing English Experiment
Summer fallowing Is justifiable In
some localities, where the moisture of
two seasons Is required for one crop,
writes L. F. Childers, tn the Western
Fanner. But In the wheat belt of the
northwest It Is a grand waBte of time,
money and opportunity clear and
aside from the useless waste of the
soil's store of humus.
The loss of time and money needs
no argument to convince; or oppor-
tunity, because there are highly re-
munerative crops which are well suit-
ed to fill the gap. The unpardonable
sin of summer fallowing Is the wanton
waste of humus. This is the material
that colors the soli dark or black,
gives it life, makes It spongy or fri-
able. It contains the nitrogen so nec-
essary for the growth of plants. Culti-
vation or summer plowing produces
nitrification by stimulating bacterial
action which. In the presence of mois-
ture and air, consumes this humus.
The result Is that more of these ni-
trates are liberated than are required
for the succeeding crop. This excess
therefore, exposed to leeching dur-
ing the winter or early spring, and an
excess of Btraw Is produced In the ma-
tured crop. This straw contains much
nitrogen which is wasted In the
burned or rotted straw heap.
