dom, died Monday in a private nursing

100000 FOR TUBERCULOSIS
DIR. Flick Has Raised $35, 900 for an
Assembly

PHILADELPHIA, June 5-Dr Lawrence
F. Flick, director of the Phipps Institute
and chairman Of the committee on the in
ternational congress Of tuberculosis, which
Is to be held in Washington in the fall of
1908, announced last night that he has re-
ceived $4,000 in subscriptions to a fund of
100000 which he is raising to meet the nee
essary expenses of the assembly.
He laughingly denied a rumor that he
was determined to resign and to return the
money already subscribed because he had
failed to get the presidency of the con-
gress. He also termed absurd the mputa-
ton that he had been turned down. as a
candidate for the Office at the meeting of
the National Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis in Washington
last month.
MY activities on behalf Of the necessary
arrangements and preparations for the
congress, which is to meet in Washington
from September 81 to October g. 1905" said
Dr. Flick, really exclude me as candi-
date for the office of president. OF course,
a member of the congress- / am eligible
for the place as any other, but having as
sumed charge of most of the details which
will have to be looked after during the six
teen months before the delegates will ar
rive and while they are here l am not
looking for the office, nor have l been at
any time
money already collected, l am busy making
plans for its increase. 1t Is being SUBJ
scribed in lots of 5000, and of the $50, 900
already in hand l am at liberty to tell you
that six of the seven subscribers are Martin
Maloney and William H. Hensori Of this
city, Henry Phipps George Bumenthal
and Henry c. Prick of New York and
Henry l.. Higginson of Boston. The sew
enth subscriber has forbidden his name to
be made public.
Il am confident of obtaining twenty more
subscribers Each of the contributors to
our fund is entitled to become a member of
the honorary board of counsel and from
this, l gather. rumor rose that 1t was
obtained by pledging places on the exec
utive committee to the donors. Naturally
one who gives so literally to such worthy
cause should be permitted to have voice
in the proceedings of the congress, if not
an active participant.
THE United States. although restricted
by certain provisions in our form of gov
eminent from issuing a formal invitation
to the congress. will probably appropriate
$25, 600 to help meet expenses. while individ-
ual states will no doubt contribute literally
to their separate exhibitions. For instance,
Michigan has appropriated 5000 for this
purpose.
