Leader of Theater Orchestra to Be
Mayor of san Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 6.-The complete
vote for mayor is: Schmitz Union Labor,
q sos; Well Republican,, 1857; Tobin
DemocraO. 12.ss4
Mr.. Schmitz is the leader Of an orchestra
in local theater, and is also the secretary
and manager of machine shop. He has
heretofore been known as a Republican,
though he has never been prominent as
politician. He is a native of this city, his
father having been an accomplished must
clan.
The success of the Union Labor party
brings a new and important factor into
California politics The Union Labor party
v organized a result Of the strike OF
teamSters, steVedOres, marine nremen and
other waterfront employees last summer.
The labor men evidently voted solid for
the head Of the ticket, but scattered their
votes on candidates for other Offices They
may elect three supervisors. The patron
age offices go to the Republicans. while
the Democrats will elect nine out of eight
cen supervisors. Under the new charter the
mayor has great power and appoints the
boards of education. public works, police,
park and fire commissioners.
MayOr-elect Schmitz to-day issued the fol-
lowing statement: Il wish TO say to the
merchants and fnanciers of the city that
they need entertain no fears whatever Of
any action upon my part tending To in
augurate a radical policy Of municipal gov

DIPHTHERIA ANTITOXIN.
An Effective Curative Agent, Despite
st. Louis's Unfortunate Experience.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
st. Louis's unfortunate experience with
the antitoxin of diphtheria, reported in
Saturdays dispatches, will probably not
shake the confidence of medical men in the
protective and curative virtues of that
agent. But the general public can hardly
fail to be surprised at the outbreak of a
score of cases of lockjaw, many of them
fatal, apparently in consequence of its use;
and until the highly exceptional character
of the incidents is recognized the popular
mind is likely to be somewhat disturbed by
the revelation.
1t is well to remember, therefore, that of
all the serums which have been prepared
for fighting disease, that which is employed
in treating diphtheria has shown itself the
most efficaciOus and free from drawbacks
From every part of the world where il
has been systematically tried have come
tidings of a reduced mortality. In Prussia
for instance, the average number of deaths
from diphtheria between 1855 and 1894 was
15.5 in every 1000 people. In 1885, 1886 and
1897 the proportion fell of 10 g. Z and o.
respectively. The use of Behring's anti
toxin first became general in that country
in 1895. The reduction in mortality from
this cause in the leading cities OF America
during the last decade Is something like
50 or 90 per cent, and is almost exclusively
attributed TO the introduction of the new
remedy.
from ST. Louis occurred nearly year ago
in Italy. First in one town and then IN
another persons who had been inOculated
for diphtheria developed tetanus. In the
month of December. 1900, something like
thirty forty cases were observed. A
mild panic resulted, though ii was of short
duration. Investigation soon revealed the
fact that all OF the antitoxin whose use
had been attended with such unhappy con-
sequences belonged 10 a single lot of 305
tubes. 1t had been manufactured at the
national meteorological laboratory. in the
management of which change had re-
Gently taken place. 1t was made I'm Sep
TENDER and distributed late in November.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1901-11-07

But as soon its character became evil
dent steps were taken to recover all which
was yet unused. 1t was asserted that this
particular lot of antitoXin the only
one which had ever made mischief in Italy,
although the same institution had precious
ly sent out no less than 2S0,0O0 tubes. And
since that time no further complications
have been reported.
The method by which the Italian serum
became contaminated has never been gen
orally known. But there is now little room
for doubt about the cause of the trouble in
st. Louis. The Behring plan is TO inOculate
a healthy animal, usually horse, with
just enough diphtheria virus TO cause mild
sickness and to continue that treatment
until it's blood possesses the desired quail
ity of rendering human subjects immune.
The horse which the city bacteriologist OF
st. Louis had employed for this purpose
was found to be suffering from tetanus on
Oct. /, and accordingly IL was killed. In
asmuch as an inspection late in August
failed to afford evidence OF the disease II
seems likely that the latter was acquired
in the meantime. Although the case prob
ably has few parallels, manufacturers OF
antitoxin will undoubtedly profit by It.
They will now realize more keenly than
ever the Importance of that vigilance and
caution which alone guarantee an abso-
lutely pure product.
