DRINK POISON TO AID SCIENCE
Michigan Members Of Alpha Sigma Of.
Fer Themselves for Experiment.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Feb. 2.-Upper
classmen of the Alpha Sigma fraterni-
~ at the University Of Michigan last
night decided to drink an unknown
poison till its effects on the human
system are known completely to
science. The Alpha Sigma is a home
opathic fraternity affiliated with the
New York fraternity now drinking the
venom Of the cobra. DR.. A. r. 1bers-
hoff, head of the Michigan fraternity,
will keep the name of the poison secret
until the test is complete.
and not a snake venom. Beginning
with Il minute draught taken once eV-
cry two hours. the potion will be in
creased every week for several months
until the men begin to have a slight
illness with poison symptoms. lndl-
vidual reports on the symptoms are
to be made every two hours and Will
be sent to New York for classification.
A searching three-fold examination
of physical, mental, and moral char
acter is to be given each patient be-
fore his experiment begins. Not only
his bodily ailments but his mental &C.
centricities will be recorded by each
man with conscientious .thOrOughnesS.
The treatment will begin in Febru-
airy, and in three months a second
three fold examination will complete
the test of one drug. If no serious re-
suits are felt the Michigan boys ex-
pect then to try snake poison. OF the
sixteen members in the fraternity only
half have the courage to try the pois-
on. while freshmen are excluded.
Accurate knowledge of every effect
produced by the poison is the object
of the test. According to the theory
Of homeopathy. snake pOisons will be-
come useful medicines when phySi-
clans can prescribe them with GER
tain knowledge of what human func-
lions will be affected thereby.

DOCTOR TRIES NEW REMEDY
Results In Experimental Case Said to
Be Very Satisfactory.

NEW YORK, Feb. DR.. Samuel G.
Tracy of New York, who declares he
has obtained most gratifying results
in the treatment Of pulmonary tubercu-
losis with thOrum, and that the cost
of the remedy should not be more than
s. Il pound. since it can be obtained by
grinding up gas burner mantles, which
are IS per cent thOrun, explaining it's
application, in the New York Medical
Record, says:
DR. Soddy of London and Prof.
Rutherford of Montreal have suggested
the use Of thorium inhalations for tu-
berculosis. Certainly, from its anti
septic and antifermentative actions it
would appear to be a desirable agent
to apply directly to the tissues affect
ed in the fight against the tubercle ba-
cillus.
There are two methods of obtaining
these radioactive carnations for use
in the treatment of tuberculosis. One
trate of thOrium in a large shallow re-
ceptacle. A slight current of air can
be passed over the solution from a
compressed air tank while the patient
is inhaling. The other. and by far the
best way is by heating the oxide of
thorium. The apparatus 1 am now
using is that invented by Hugo Lieber.
The radio-activity of thorium is
many thousand times less than that Of
lion times cheaper, being only about 81
a pound. and it can be used for a long
er period of time at each treatment,
thus making up for the loss in po-
tency. When thorium nitrate is chang
ed into an oxide it temporarily loses its
radio activity. However. when it is
exposed to the air it soon begins to
regain its activity"

In four days it is one and a half
times more active: in twelve days. two
and one half times. and at the end of
two weeks it reaches its maximum IA
dio-activity, which is four times as
great as was the original altrate of
thorium.
The limitations of the emanatlOn

the phenomenon of induced radio-ac-

treatment each time should not ex-

though this may be increased to half

SENATOR FORAKER FATHERS A
BILL THAT REPEALS THE
SHERMAN ACT.
It Represents the Interests Of the Rail
road Kings and Great Trust
Chiefs.

Foraker of Ohio has presented to the
senate bill that practically repeats
the Sherman antitrust and interstate
commerce laws and leaves the giant
mergers of railroads free to carry out
their policy of combination to any ex-
tent.
Senator Foraker is the manager in
Ohio Of President RoOseVelt's campaign
for denomination.
The bill he offers represents the do
sires of the railroad kings and trust
chiefs generally and was forthcoming
after visit to Washington by j. Pier
pont Morgan. II. c. Prick of the Steel
trust, J. w. Gates, a. J. Cassatt, pres.
ident of the Pennsylvania railroad. and
James Stillman, president of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York. -tp-
resenting the Rockefeller interests.
President Stillman and President Cas-
satt were at the White House on
Thursday night at the dinner given by
President Roosevelt to the Justices of
the supreme court.
Senator Forakers bill not only aims
to neutralZe whatever is left of the
Sherman antitrust bill. which had it's
most effective teeth drawn at the last
session-when the section making con-
viction by its provisions punisha BILE by
Imprisonment was repealed--but pur-
poses to prevent anything being done
in the future to disturb such institu-
tons as the Northern Securities merg-
er.
Imprisonment or Forfeiture.
Senator Foraker's bill provides that
no amendments adopted to the acts of
1887 and 1897 shall authorize imprison-
ment or forfeiture of property for any
violation of the act
This is meant to insure the illegal
combinations against the danger Of the
democrats coming into control of the
government and endeavOring to apply
the law to the most notorious examples
of restraint of trade.
In so many words. the bill authorizes
restraints of trade and commerce. pro-
vided such restraints be reasonable.
What the test of responsibility shall
be is not stated.
If Senator Forakers measure was
the law of the country. according to all
against the Northern Securities COM
pany. which is now making a desper-
ate fight for existence in the supreme
court on final appeal or against any
similar corporation.
The meat trust and the coal trust
would be freed from danger and inter-
ference because of the illegal compacts
of producers and railroads and the
country would be left at the absolute
mercy of the giant combinations.
1t is not surprising that Mr. Morgan.
Mr.. Stillman. Mr.. Cassatt and the 9TH
ers considered the matter of sufficient
moment to bring them all to Washing
ton.
The Whitaker Wright case in Eng
| land has had its effect here and has
suggested to many minds the advisable
| ity of some such measure as the COM
panies act" to keep a certain variety
| of promoters and eXploiters of the pup
lie in check.

Effect of the Bill.

| To counteract this effect the Fora
ker bill is suggested which would put
| the control of corpora tons by the gov
eminent back where it was before the
trust movement had gained any head
way in this country.
! Following is Senator Foraker's bill
| in full. Though the phrasing is such
| that at first reading it sounds trife
conflicting to the law reader; close
analysis shows that it actually grants
letters of marque to all the predatory
combinations, a limiting of whose un-
fair power has been the aim of legis-
lation. Its text follows:
THAT nothing in the act to regulate
commerce approved February a. 1887.
\ or in the act to protect trade and COM
merce against unlawful restraints and
mOnopOlies, approved July 2, 1890. or
any act amendatory of either of said
acts, shall hereafter apply to foreign
commerce or shall prohibit any act or
any contract in restraint of trade or
commerce among the several states,
provided that such restraints be rea-
sonable. or shall hereafter authorize
imprisonment or forfeiture of property
in punishment for any violation Of such
acts. except for perjury or contempt
of court
