Big Gathering of Friends
Bid Mayor and Wife Bon
Voyage at Ferry Mole

With the fervent farewells of nu-
merous friends ringing in their ears,
Mayor and Mrs. Eugene e. Sehmitz de-
parted little before noon yesterday on
their vacation trip-a tour of Europe.
Long before the city's chief executive
and his wife reached the ferry building
a crowd of friends had gathered to
greet them and large number of these
accompanied the. tourists across the
bay and said their good-byes as the
train pulled away from the mole.
Much to the surprise of the Mayor
and his wife, they found on reaching
the Oakland mole that the Pullman car
decorated with flowers by the members
of the Board of Supervisors. Numerous
bouquets were piled up in the 1eaf by
their friends and it is not likely that
a more pleasing demonstration could
have been desired than that arranged
by those who were present to see the
head official of the city depart on his
journey.
The Mayor and his wife go directly
to New York and will probably sail
Immediately from there for ireland.
The limited time of sixty days will not
admit of much delay in any city, and
thus they will have to make the most
of their time everywhere.
Supervisor James Gallagher will
take possession or the Mayors pttice
thir morning and will direct the ex-
ecutive department until Schmitz. re-
turns. 1t was thought by many that
he would take possession yesterday and
number of people called TO see him,
only to find that they were ahead of
time.
Before leaving the Mayor stated that
he would send letters occasionally tell

That Bafded. DR.. Koch
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


ANN ARBoR,. Mich, Oct: 1-After
three months work, Professor F'reder-
lex. Novy of the University of Michi-
gan has discovered the cause of sleep
ing fever" disease which annually
carries off thousands in India and South
America.
Professor Koch, the great German
Bacteriologist spent two years in South
America in an unsuccessful attempt to
fihd what DIR. Novy has discovered in
three months.
Drowsiness, with high intermittent
fever, seizes the victims and they go
into a. sleep from which they never
awake. Victims have been known to
sleep as long as four months. 1t is
known the disease is spread by the
tstse fly.
There have been only two known
cases in the United States, one in San
Francisco and one this summer at Gov
ernors Island, In New York. Profess
sor Novy. heard about the New York
case and went to Governors Island to
investigate He brought back with him
some of the blood of the patient, with
a view. of finding the bacillus. Tests
were at once made to find some medium
upon which the germ would propagate.
1t was finally discovered that the in
sidious organism would grow in a mix
ture of blood, agar and glucose. He has
found the cause. but not the cure. Pro-
fessor Novy will Immediately begin
work in an attempt to find an anti
toxin that will destroy the poison which
is thrown off by the bacteria and a
serum that will kill the bacteria them
selves.
