Judge Hcsmcr, Failing in First
Peace Efforts, Still Hopeful Of
Getting Litigants Together.

Thursday mornings hearing OF the
trouble which has split the Detroit
Society for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis, was enlivened by u
tilt between Frank B. Leland, and At
torney Herbert v. Barbour. who rep
esents the incorporated society.
Mr.. Leland detailed at length the
action he took to prevent the incc
poration OF the society In the ad-
journed annual meeting, OF which ho
notice had been sent out. and at
which not more than one-seventh or
the membership was present. he said.
THE members Of the society had
no idea that the question Of incorpor-
alton was coming up" Mr.. Leland
testified. when | learned what was
ND | moved that the whole matter
be laid over until the members could
be notified and full attendance had,
to take up the consideration OF such
nm important matter.
Il considered that the action OF The
defendants In bringing In the articles
Of association fully prepared and con-
tanning the names Of six new trustees
was an attempt to ram the whole
| thing down our throats. / regarded
/ the whole proceedings as unfair and
. illegal. My motion was lost by vote
| OF 26 to 30. After my friends saw
| how the matter had been prearranged
. \ great many OF us left the building.
During the course OF his testimony
| Mr.. Leland mentioned the fact that
| he was president Of the Michigan
state tuberculosis sanitarium, and
Mr.. Barbour in cross-examination
| limited that Mr.. Leland got the posi-
t ton because OF his activity In behalf
OF Gov. Warner.
"You were pretty active in the War
ner administration. were you not!
| he asked.

ON either the administration or my
calf" he replied spiritedy.

.You believe In the work to sup
press tuberculosis and OF the efforts
of this society, do you not?
Certainly"
aThen why did you tell Mrs.
Charles p. Larned that you thought
the society's usefulness was at an
end and the society should join with
the Detroit Sanitorium?"
al believed II was true. when l
made that suggestion. because OF the
internal dissensions."
"You also said the same thing to
Mr.. Larned?"
II might have done SO"
"Didn't you tell Mrs. Charles Ham
mond that you intended to knife the
society,""
II did not"
Testimony was also given by Paul
) weadock and J. l.. Hudson. The lat
ter had Just launched into his version
of the trouble that split the society,
when court adjourned. at noon.
Judge Hosmer still has hopes of
bringing the parties together, and ar
ranging q peaceful settlement, al
though his efforts, Wednesday, fail
ed. The friends of Mrs. w. A. Nc
Graw, president of the Incorporated
society insist. however. that they be
Given q chance to tell their side OF
the story In order to set themselves
right before the public. The real
fight centres about Mrs. McGraw, and
her friends are anxious to clear away
any misconception that may have
arisen from the publication OF the
evidence. II is probable that the case
will continue for several days. at
least, and II settlement Is not
reached Il will last at least week,
the attorneys say.
Little testimony OF interest was
given at Wednesday afternoons ses-
sion. Raphael Herman and Charles +.
Morse, members Of the unincorporated
society. admitted that while they had
no objection to the society incor-
porating, they did find fault with the
. manner In which II was brought about,
and objected particularly to the cleo
ton Of six new trustees whose names
had never been submitted to the
members.
