M POLICE COURT

Lord Baber stepped lightly from his motor car yesterday and ascending the steps of "the criminal courts building" entered his especial room, Kicked off his overshoes, slung his bonnet upon the antlers over his desk. then stopped suddenly and looked round-eyed at a string of drunks. He seemed to pass into brown study. as he arose from his seat. He. closed his eyes and passed his hand across his forehead, l, and then in a strange fuli-voIumned voice, unlike his usual nasal, rasping tones. quoted: "oh.

 Some five pairs of feet moved un- easily, some five pairs of watery eyes blinked at the light from the high seat. Then one more self-possessed, or less possessed with something else, spoke:

 Discovery.
 Philadelphia. Jan 6,-What Is con- sidered by medical men to be the most important discovery in the war against tuberculosis since the finding of the tllbercuIosis bacillus by Koch. is con talned in an announcement by pr. RandIe C. Rosenbergh. of the chair of bacteriology at Jefferson Medical Col, lege.
 pr. Rosenbergh declares that the tuberculosis germ can ba located in the blood before 1t reaches the lungs and that in view of this, can be des- troyed by very simple treatment. By use of anti-toxIne he thinks, the dis. ease can be soon stamped out.
 If the theory thae the tuberculosis germs first make their appearance in the blood of the patttnt is correct. 1t is believed that the injection of anti. toxin or virus would prevent then, reaching the lungs, practically render ing the patient immune
