WILL SUE SURGEON TO
RECOVER A $4,000 FEE.

New York. Sept. 2s.-George II. Croker
OF New York and San Francisco has in
structed his attorneys to institute suit for
the recovery OF $4,000 alleged to have
been paid a well-known Paris surgeon
and discoverer OF a serum for the treat
ment OF cancer.
The treatment was given to Mrs Emma
Rutherford Crocker last spring in France
but she died a few months later at New
port, r. l.. having been brought to Amer
lea after hope OF saving her life was
abandoned.
Mr.. Crocker asserts that the injections
OF serum only weakened the patient and
finally were discontinued. He had been
compelled To pay the full fee In advance
and he instructed his attorneys to turn
over any sum they may recover 10 the
Pasteur Institute OF Paris for its use.
