PROF. ROBT. KOCk DEAD
DIscovERER OF sAclLLI OF TUB
ERcULoSIS AND CHOLERA.
Decorated by the German and French
Governments for His Services
to Science.

Baden-Baden, Germ.-Prof. ROBERT
Koch, the famous bacteriologist, died
here from heart disease. He was born
at Klausthal, Hanover, Dec. IL, lS43.
Professor Koch became distinguish
ed as an investigator Of micro-organ-
isms, but probably gained most re-
nown as the discovered Of the bacilli
Of tuberculosis and cholera. He was
graduated in 1866 from the University
of Go%ettingen, and while a practitioner
at Wolistein began his researches In
b~acteriology. His first writings, Gov
ering Investigations of anthrax and
the ~actiology of traumatic infective
diseases, marked an epoch in medicine
and placed bacteriology on a scientific
basis.
1t was in 1882 that Professor Koch
first announced his discovery of the
bacilli Of tuberculosis. The follow
ing year he was sent by the German
government to India and Egypt to
study cholera, and discovered the COM
ma bacillus, the presence of which is
regarded as an infallible test in dag
nosing Asiatic cholera.
1t was in 1890, at the meeting Of the
international medical congress, that
Professor Koch announced the dis
covery of a specific for tuberculosis,
but while his announcement created a
sensation the medical profession did
not accept it as a fact and subsequent
experience did not fully s%ubstantiate
the claims of Koch in this direction.
Professor Koch received decorations
from the German and French govern
ments for his discoveries. He visited
the United States in 1908 and attend
ed the international tuberculosis con,
ference in Philadelphia.

KNEW OF FRAUDS
LATE MAGNATE DECLARED TO
HAVE RECEIVED REPORTS
FROM SUPERINTENDENT.
SPICES SHOWS HIM UP
underweighing Practiced 20 Years
Ago, According to Witness.-Ad-
mits He Has Fool Not to Con-
fess While on Trial.

New York, n. Y. - oliver Splitter,
former superintendent of the docks
OF the American Sugar Refining com
pany in Williamsburg (Brookly), who
recently was %pardoDed from the peni-
tertiary by President TART, explained
why he did not confess during the
trial which ended last February with
his being sentenced to two years.
Such a confession, he declared, would
have carried him to a cemetery" In
other words he would have implicated
a dead man, Henry o. Hayemeyer,
late head Of the sugar trust.
Splitter was under cross-examina-
ton by the defense at the trial OF
Charles r. Heike, secretary-treasurer
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, who, with five subcrdinates, is
charged with conspiracy to defrauG
the government by underweighing
sugar. He repeated that he had made
his confession not with the hope OF
pardon, but to ease his conscience,
and added that after his conviction

tl VI INC utlthudulSJ hdu ui6Su hih
to tell all he knew.
What did you say when advised to
confess?" asked Clarence Lexow for
the defense.
81 said the only confession / can
make will carry me into a cemetery
and Mr.. Stimson (the government
~prosecution) doesn't want that"
you are referring to Henry o.
Havemeyer?" asked the lawyer.
Eyes, | am" answered Splitter.
Began Before His Time.
This closed the court incident, but
Splitter talked more freely after leav-
ing the stand. He said he had met II.
that Ernest w. Gerbracht, former re-
finery superintendent, another of the
defendants, had made his reports di-
rect to Mr.. Havemeyer. The frauds,
he insisted had begun before his time,
although he worked on the docks 20
years.
He admitted that the steel springs
used to manipulate the scales on the
docks were his invention.
why did you not tell the truth in
the first placer" he vas asked.
Every time | look in a mirror l
see a damn fool" was the answer
II was a fool not to do II, but l was
ashamed to let anyone know that l
did these things. My credit was
good; l could get anything that l
wanted, and did not want people to
know that | was fool enough to do
these things for nothing; ! got moth.
ing out of it.
Another reason why l committed
perjury was because / thought moth
ing could happen to the sugar trust
We all thought the trust was SO
strong hat the government could not
do anything with it."
