POISON SQUAD BLAMED
Mrs. Latham Holds II RESPONSE
BILE for Her Sons Death.
A VICTIM OF CONSUMPTION
Was in Good Health Before Eating the
Prepared Foods.
STATEMENT BY DR.. WILEY
Declares That the Young Mans serv-
ice In the Experimenting Glass Did
Not Give Fatal Disease.

Robert Vance Freeman. one of the orig
fnaI members of DR.. Wiley's squad of poison
eaters, died yesterday at his home, GIT 18th
street. of consumption. His mother, Mrs
Laura Latham, claims that his death Is d.
rectly traceable to the poisonous adulterants
placed in his food in the interests of sci
enee. and threatens to call the government
to account. DR.. Wiley chief Of the bureau
of chemistry Of the. Agricultural Depart
ment. under whose direction the expert
ments to determine the effect of adulter-
ants upon the human system were insti-
tuted, insists that Freeman's service as a
member of the poison squad had nothing
whatever to do with hts illness and DEATH
At the time of his death Freeman was
twenty-three years old. and. according to
Mrs. Latham. was under age when the ex-
periments began some years ago. She
called attention to this fact because of her
understanding that all members of the
poison squad signed an agreement. before
beginning their diet of adulterated food. alb
solving the government of any blame for
possible consequences. Mrs. Latham holds
that II this agreement was signed by her
son 1t was done while he was under age
and without her knowledge and consent
5 Mrs. Latham did not go into the details
Of the course she proposed to take in call
ing the government to account for the
death of her son. but merely mentioned that
d kEicHQ, ioIulcfiy q Hlctuucf VI thC Ofutco
States Senate and now practicing law In
New York. would direct her course.
Health Before the Experiments.
Mrs. Latham insists that her son at the
time he Joined the poison squad was healthy
and sturdy and strong. and, in fact. passed
a better physical examination than any
other Of the thirty-six men who volunteered
to take daily doses Of food adulterants In
order that some definite conclusion might be
reached as to the effect OF such adulterants
upon human health. But her son. although
in perfect physical condition when he Joined
the squad. began to fail from the day he
started his adulterated diet. Mrs. Latham
says, until. after less than six months
service, he was discharged because of Ill
health.
Only a short time after that. according
to the mothers story. he showed symptoms
of tuberculosis and was sent away to the
far west to make his fight for health and
strength. But 1t was Of no use. His system.
even under favorable conditions OF environ
ment and diet could not Withstand the
ravages Of the disease. and eight months
ago he came back b Washington. Since

end of the line will be done through kindly
thoughts and treatment at the hands of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany and not by the Brightwood Railroad
Company. Our company does not own
bonds Of the Br:ghtwood road. The bulk
Of these bonds are held by outsiders, we
only have control of the stock. If the 9th
street line were to come out over the
Br1ghtwood road 1t would deprecfate the
road of all its value. The large number of
transfer points existing in the District
Isn't crime; IS not damaging to the city.
Conditions Described.
eff the Brfghtwood road hasn't any right
south Of 7th and Florida avenue. I don't
see how you are going to operate through
cars. The City and Suburban line owns
its tracks all the way out: the BrightwoOd
line only from 7th and Florida avenue out.
The City and Suburban has a structural
advantage. Few peop'e have an idea Of
the cost Of operating through cars and
they do not know Of the cost Of the nu-
merous accidents which happen to sub
urban cars on city tracks. If you had
through service the city people would board
the first car that would come along and
loop they would have but few passengers
aboard This was the situation when
through cars were operated some time ago,
when the suburban passengers invariably
fled up the 9th street cars and then crowd,
ed on the BFightwood cars at the loop.
THE system did not work and the sched-
ule was stopped as a result Of that ex-
per.ence and test. 1t would be ideal II the
was no other car line. but that would be
impossible. No man wants to do an in
jury to Petworth, Brightwood Park. Bright
wood or TakOma Park. The people along
the lines are not unfriendly. They are
anxious to get more than they have-a
large return on small investment. That
is the desire on the part Of the railroad
1t always wants to, but does not always
get it.
1.-The extension of the 9th street line has
been talked OF for some time: the figures
have been talkd over and no changes are
to be made without thought. It would
company for each mile If the line were ex-
tended. which would make about $23 per
day. and with 365 days in the year 1t would
add materially to the deficit which already
exists. Look at It from the standpoint
of the investor. While we are waiting we
are trying to do. some things. President
McDermott has been very Ill and no meet
ing of the executive board will be held
until he resumes his duties. l am not going
to make any promises-'
Crowded Condition Of Cars.
Gen. Harries. In referring to the crowd
ed condition Of the cars said: There is
no city In the country where you can avoid
crowding during the rush hours You
might do It on the Partisan paan-use tags
and go according to numbers. with the tag
In your hand
Other speakers on the same subject were
MIR. e. w. Oyster and Mr.. La Due.
Gen. Harries concluded by saying: BE
patient I am working It out. The plan
Is all right. When the elements are
brought together I think the proposition
which I have outlined will be received in
the right spirit
The meeting concluded with the adoption
of the resolution, presented by Mr.. 4. C.
Lancaster. which was unanimously adopted.

Direct Cause of Death.


DR.. Hickling told Star reporter this
morning that death was Enthusiastically due
to tuberculosis. but that he had been
connected with the case only during the last
stages he was not in a position to say
whether or not the disease might Indirectly
be credited to young Freeman's service on
the poison squad. DR.. Kicking said that
weakened the young mans system some
what. thus reducing its resisting pow@r to
disease. but further than this ne did not
care to so.
When Dr. Wiley was seen by a Star re-
the case for publication. He DID say that
Ii was hts most earnest belief that young
Freenan's service a member of the pol
son squad had nothing 81 all to do, rectly
or indirectly with his illness or dea h. But
he did not consider that the matter was one
that he. with proprtety. could discuss for
publication. 1t evident that DIR. Wiley
felt very badly about the matter. AMI he
indicated that young Freeman had be"n
general favorite at the department.
DIR. Behrends. who made the prellni 1ary
examination of Freeman. along with a large
number of other candidates. said he could
not remember any specific case in connec-
ton with the examinations, but he remem-
bered that one or two of the boys had
slight fever at the time.
According to Mrs. Latham. the disease of
which her son died has never appeared In
either branch of the family. and conse-
quently 1t cannot in this case be charged TO
heredity.
The funeral OF young Freeman Will take
place tomorrow morning at 1880 O'Clock at
the Church of the Ascension.

Purpose Of Meeting Announced.


President Guide at the conclusion Of the
regular order Of business. then addressed
the association. and explained the object
Of the meeting. He urged that IL any spe-
cific charges were to be presented It be
done with q friendly feeling and that no
personalities be indulged in. The railroad
question being the issue. the discussion
should be with view solely to the bet
terment of conditions.
The secretary then read q resolution, pre-
scented by Mr.. C. c. Lancaster. president
of the Northwest Citizens Association and

ISOLATION The resolution stated that the
present management of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company, In trans
ferring It's passengers from the 9th street

nience not only to the patrons of the road

objection Of all Of the patrons of the road, %

The paper stated further that the pa,
irons of the road have earnestly Appealed
IN the officials of the company to abolish
this nuisance and--run the 9th street cars
from the city out to the District line with
out transfer and the officials have so far
shut their eyes and closed their ears to
the appeal and continue to dump the citi-
zens Of Washington at Florida avenue and
