FRENCH WORKMEN SCARED.
Men Employed by Harry Harkness in Au.
tOmobile Work Frightened by Intruders.

GREENWICH, Conn, Nov. 17.-Harry
Hardness, son of l.. V. Harkness, Standard
Oil man, who during the summer lives in
his mansion in Greenwich, which he pur-
chased from William Rockefeller, is in
terested in building automobiles for speed.
He has made many fast runs. short
time ago he brought three Frenchmen here,
expert draughtsmen and mechanics, who
could not speak English. He installed
them in cottage at the rear of his fathers
Greenwich residence, and provided them
with necessary tools for draughting.
Yesterday lot of lumber was sent there
and men, supposed to be representatives
of labor unions, went there last night with
lanterns to see what was going on. The
Frenchmen were scared and ran to the
Hardness residence and made known what
had happened through the French chef.
They said that four men with clubs and
lanterns had surrounded the house, and they
feared they would break in
L. V. Hardness notified the police and
armed the Frenchmen and sent them back
to protect the property. He was angry
at the conduct of those he took to be labor
union delegates and said that they should
have come to him for information. He
would then have told them that the
Frenchmen were making something which
no mechanic in this country could do.

SERUM FOR TUBERCULOSIS.
DR.. MarmOrek Leaves Pasteur Institute
to Devote All His Time TO His Discovery.


Special Gable Despatch to THK SUN.
PARIS, Nov. 17.-Dr. Marmorek, an
Austrian bacteriologist, who was until
recently the leading chemist at the
Pasteur Institute, has communicated to
the Academy OF Science the results of his
experiments in curing tuberculosis. His
researches led him to discover a serum OF
vaccine which he believes is efflcacous.
He has used it for more than year, obtain
ing favorable results in tuberculosis al
though he did not succeed in cases OF tu-
berculosis meningitis, in which the serum
proved innocuous, local assesses being
observed in only three out Of two thousand
injections.
Dr. Marmorek claims several absolute
cures, besides effecting distinct improve
ment in some advanced cases. He admits,
however, that a definite verdict on the
merits of the serum can only ne obtained
after experimentation on a greater scale
than no has been able to practise. 1t was
in order to be able to devote himself to his
discovery that he resigned from the Pasteur
Institute.
DR.. Marmorek's method of preparing the
serum is curious and complicated. A par
ticular species of the Koch bacilli. obtained
by selection, is reared in special medium
composed of calf serum into which white
guinea pig globules have been injected
and glycerinous essence of calf liver In
this medium the bacilli secrete a toxin,
which is then injected into the horses. This
is its final development prior to its injection
into the human sufferer.
The difference between DR.. Marmorek's
horse serum and Prof Kochs tuberouln
is that the latter is toxic substance, while
Dr- Marmorek's is an antitoxin prepared
outside the human organism.

GOVERNMENT RESERVE.
President Sets Aside 10000 Acres of,
Public Lands in Porto Rico
for Raee~xe

Oyster Bay, N. J., July 2.-Af-,
ter a conference yesterday with
Governor Hunt of Porto Rico
the president signed formal
order making reservations of lands
In the island Of Porto Rico for
the purpose of this government. The
act1on was taken under the provisions
OF a law passed at the first session of
the f'orty-seventh congress, which au-
tnorlzed the president to make the
reservations before July 1, 1903 All
land not reserved will accrue TO-DAY to
the island Of Porto Rico
In the aggregate more than 90 600
acres Of land were involved. Under the
old Spanish regime the title to these
lands became so greatly involved that
1T could not be determined from any
available records to whom thew be-
longed. They could not be sold. be-
cause the government Of Porto Rico
could not give a clear title to them.
The enabling act passed by congress
cleared the situation
BY the presidents action reserves of
pubic land are made for the war, navy
and treasury departments and for the
department Of Justice
Governor Hunt is greatly pleased
over the settlement of the long mooted
!and question. 1t means, in his opin-
lon, the rapid commercial expansion Of
San Juan, and notable improvement of
other cities. It is Of distinct advantage
also to the government of Porto Rico.
About $4,000 acres Of land will accrue
Immediately to the island government.
1T is expected that from the sale of
the lands the island will receive about
$5C0,OOO. This sum will be devoted
largely to educational purposes
