ment sidewalk near the home Of Ira
G. Rawn, the railroad president. who

BUELOW'S AID NEEDED
Bethmann-Hallweg is Bitterly Attack.
ed by Germans,

Berlin, July 23-On the first ami
versary of his retirement from the
imperial chancellorship, Prince Bu-
low yesterday returned to Berlin on
his way to his summer home, on the
North Sea island of Norderney.
The press embraces the occasion of
his temperance in the capital to re-
view the desperate political situation
which has come about since his re-
tirement. On all hands it is agreed
that Germany has seldom experienced
a year of such chaos. conflict. and dis
content. Won Bulow's farewell po-
litical address, uttered through the
on the eve of his retirement, in
of the social-democratic specter in all
its old-time vgor and audacity. has
been grimly borne out at every inter-
mediate election. for the reichstag.
Six elections have resulted in sweep
ing socialistic victories. Two more
constituencies. which will vote later
in the summer, are morally certain to
go "red."
Socialists Gain Strength.
The socialist strength in the reich
stag. which Prince Bulow felt at for
ty-three, will then have increased to
fifty-one. If general election were
held tomorrow, the shrewdest and
most impartial students of politics de-
clare, Herr Bebel's phalanx in the I'M
perial parliament might be swelled to
100 or even 120.
Chancellor Won Hollweg's
hopeless shortcomings as politician
are generally held to be responsible
for the nations unparalleled discon-
tent, which is finding expression in
the constant socialistic election tri-
umphs. His tacit alliance with the
conservative. agrarian, and catholic
parties has angered and disgusted the
great liberal and radical element of
the country, who suppress their own
political convictions and support So
cialist convictions as the most effec-
tive way of registering indignation
with the Bethmann-Hollweg govern
ment
The obnoxious effect of the taxes
provided by last years finance re-
form, the Prussian franchise reform
fiasco. the retirement of Herr Dern-
burg from the colonial secretaryship.
and the general flouting of business
and popular interests for the benefit
of the ruling junker clique, as evil
denced by the recent cabinet appoint
ments, are the principal items in the
nations indictment against the chan
cellor.

CURE FOR; LEPRosY
Berlin Physician Gets Wonderful Re
suits WITH Patients.


Berlin, July 2B.-Leprosy. that
scourge of tropical countries, is slow
ly losing, ground. The. dawn of a.
brighter day has been hastened by the
discovery and experiments made by
Prof. Deycke of Hamburg. This dis
tinguished investigator, whose work
is attracting increasing attention, has
invented the 'nastin" treatment of the
disease. This treatment consists of
the subcutaneous injection of nastin-
a bacterial fatty body in oily solution
combined with benzoyl chloride. The
effect is to destroy the bacilli of lep-
rosy.
At the Bombay medical congress
last year it was reported by Cant.
Beauchamp Williams, residency sur
geon. in the Persian gulf, that some
cases which he had treated by this
method appeared to justify Prof.
Deycke in his claims. The announce
ment is now made that the governor
of British Guiana has authorized the
discharges from the leper asylum of
that colony, as completely cured, of
negro who had undergone the mas
tin treatment.
This man came unae~ the personal
attention of Prof .Deycke, who, with
the cordial approval of the colonial
office, spent five months III British
Guiana last year. the leper asylum be-
ing placed at his disposal fog expert
mental purposes. The institution
contains upward of 400 lepers, I'LL of
whom (69 male and AZ femalel were
treated by the professor.
The injections. which are practical
ly painless. are performed once q
week for three months; they are then
suspended for u like period; recon-
menced for two months; again dis
continued for three months, and then
resumed for similar period.
In the 103 cases the professor OBJ
served, 92.79 per cent had improved.
He has placed it on record that in a
period of treatment covering only
three to three and a half months no
definite results could possibly be at
tanned. In such chronic disease as
leprosy, 1t is absolutely necessary, he
says, to continue the treatment at in
tervals for several years. Results
vary, the difference depending mot
only on the age and severity of the
disease, but also on the individual
condition of the patient.
He further states:
II do not doubt that IL the cases of
nervous leprosy are treated early
enough, and with the necessary eX-
perienced care with nastin, large
number of these unfortunate human
beings may be preserved from mutt
latiOn and other severe LESSONS.
even believe that after longer treat
ment with nastin. not few Of the
nervous patients can be restored to
the human community"
After the departure of Prof Deycke
from British Guiana. the treatment
was continued by the medical super
intendent of the leper asylum. The
man whose cure is now reported was
under the treatment for sixteen
months. He is described as free from
all signs of leprosy, his symptoms
black marks on the face and swelling
of the fingers and ears-having dis
appeared.

GREAT INCREASE IN
SHIPPING OF FREIGHT
Oakland Harbor Committee Re-
ports Advance of SIO,OOO,OOO

OAKLAND, Jan 19.-During the
year 1909 the ship freight which passed
through the jetty channels of Oakland
harbor were valued at s152,Se0,S64, not
including the freight handled BY rail
This valuation is made the basis of
a report forwarded to the Z. S. army
board of engineers at Washington BY
E. C. Sessions, chairman of the special |
harbor statistics committee appointed
by the chamber of commerce and
Merchants exchange. 1t is expected
that this will prove strong argument
in favor of the granting of the pro-
posed federal appropriation for the
dredging of Oakland harbor
These figures showed an increase of
more than S10.006.000 in the value of
the freight handled in the harbor last
year over the showing made in 1905.
