BORDET BLOOD TEST
WAS USEO HERE FIRST
DR.. Robin Made Experiments
in Collins Murder Case
in Georgetown

Several lawyers and physicians who
followed the Collins murder case in
Georgetown last March were surprised
20 see the Philadelphia papers serious
ly stating yesterday that the use Of the
Bordet blood test IN the Bechtel MUIR
der case In Allentown was the first
time II was used In this country. AS
matter OF fact Dr. A. Robin. who Is
now bacteriologist Of the Water De-
partment. used Il ia the Collins case.
In speaking about the tests made by
DR.. Lear in Allentown he said they
We're entirely satisfactory Contnu-
ing he said:
"Now that could be very easily de-
tcrmined. BY immunizing the blood
Of that animal with the blood of an
other. For instance. II dogs blood
was immunlzed with that OF the rab-
bit the precipitate action would have
shown the result
DR.. Robin gave testimony at the Col
Inns trial based entirely on the results
of the Bordet test and no exception
was made. Chief Justice Lore pre-
sided over the trial.
Or. Robin said that he was at pres
ent engaged on a comprehensive work
on this subject in which he quotes over
forty scientists mostly German. as
supporting this method.
The original observation from whilh
began the development OF this serum
test for blood were those OF Krause, I'm
1897. Other contributions soon follow
ed, in which Bordet produced in a rab-
bit a precipitation for chicken blood
and pointed out the distinction be-
tween the precipitates so that is was
possible to identify the different mann
malian bloods.

POURING INTO
STATE FROM MARYLAND
Special to The Evening Journal.


Dover, Jan. 19.-Since the Demo-
Gratis won their anti-negro campaign
in Maryland numbers of negroes from
the border counties of that state and
not few from Baltimore are coming
over into Delaware. 1t is possible that
this number would have been larger lp
to this month, but there may be some
difficulty experienced by the new-com-
ers TO register here because of the
State law which requires proof Of resi-
dence at least one year before the date
of the general election.
Beside the increase In the negro
population from the Maryland counties.
those who are seeking a Republican
State, there is n noticeable large in
crease, naturally. among the negro
voting population. More young negroes
viii become Of age and register on age
during the coming year than was
ever known before in Delaware.
The Republicans are also counting on
a powerful vote for their ticket this
year from the number OF settlers who
have come to Delaware 10 establish

of these are Of German extraction. or
Pennsylvanians and practically all are

Mr.. MITCHELL TALKS
Wants to Set Gas Company Right Be-
fore the Public.

Speaking about the objection made
by the Water Commission against the
bill Of the Wilmington Gas and Elec-
trio Company for supplying the depart
ment with gas in December. President
Mitchell, Of the gas concern. had the
following to say this morning:
Where the Water Commission paid
but $3.50 for gas used at Sixth and
King streets, and the pumping stations
during the past month. for the cor
responding period OF one year ago. the
department paid s29.40 or $3.50 more
than charged this year.
why the objection was made / do
not know. 1 do not believe that any
comparison Of bills for preceding
months was made. Had such a thns
been done, the Water Commission
would have found that it has been pay
ing about the same each month fol-
the past year If the Water Depart.
ment desires to use electricity instead
OF gas we can't help that. Of course,
but what we wish to do is TO place
ourselves right before the public"
