New Treatment Of II Tried by London
Doctor.

1VSt0As
New York.-A new treatment OF
cancer which is believed to mark an
important advance in the treatment OF
the dreaded growth has been explained
before a meeting of the Abernethian
Society of st. Bartholomew's Hospital
by DIR. johnson, who has been exam
lining tha methods employed by DR..
Otto Schmidt, Of Cologne, says 9
Herald dispatch from London:
''Dr. Schmidfs opinion" he suid.
is that cancer is conditional on the pres
in the patient Of cancer para,
site which produces structural change
in the cells of the part affected. The
difficulty has been to decide which, il
any Of them, is the cause Of cancer.
DIR. Schmidt believes he has isolated
the specific parasite.
"With this parasite DR.. Schmidt has
done two things: He seems to have
sterilized IL with liquid air, and he has
also injected it into animals and de-
veloped serum, which has the power
of destroying cancer cells. Sterilized
parasites he. nsed for one treatment.
Successful use of the discovery de.
pends upon arrest of the process re-
moyal of the growth, and the fact that
no vital organ has been seriously in
jured."

 Attacks the Robber and is Shot Dead.
 Medford, Mass, May Miss Nellie Sturtevant, aged twenty-five, daughter of Treasurer James s. Sturtevant of the Medford Cooperative bank. was shot and killed at her home late last night by an unknown man who attempted to rob her father as he was returning from bank meeting with satchel filled with checks and money. The assassin then Bumped upon his bicycle and escaped.
 An Italian who answered the descrip- tion of the murderer was arrested two hours later by officers of the Hanover street station in Boston on suspicion and is held for the Medford officers. Mr. Sturtevant reached his home about 11:3O o'clock last night. having with him a satchel well filled with money and checks belonging to the bank, of which he was treasurer. As he stepped upon the piazza of his house his wife and daughter opened the door to greet him and a few words of greeting passed be- tween them. At that moment a rough appearing stranger appeared around the end of the piazza and, revolver in hand, ordered MT. Sturtevant to throw up his hands.
 The order was not immediately obey ed and Miss Sturtevant stepped in front of her father to shield him from harm just as the intruder fired, the bullet en- tering her body with fatal result. The man then Snatched a chatelaine bag from Miss Sturtevants grasp, and, Jumping upon bicycle which he had conveniently near, rode off rapidly in the direction of Boston.
 Miss Sturtevant was shot through the right temple and fell dead at the feet of her parents. MT. Sturtevant was prostrated by the shock, but this morning he was able to tell the police some particulars of the murder. He says that when the stranger ordered him to throw up his hands Miss Sturte- want rushed at the man and struck him with her umbrella. With one hand the man grasped at Miss Sturtevant's chat. elaine bag. He simultaneously fired the revolver, which he held in the other hand. This bag he took. It contained a $10 bill and some small change. It is supposed the man mistook the chate- laine bag in the darkness for small bag which MT. Sturtevant was carrying and in which he had placed his bank money and checks.
