should be fitted In the wards Of q sana-
torium and used only by patients in diff
ferent stages Of pulmonary tuberculosis.
1t was arranged that the instruments
should be used in this way for varying
periods OF time and should not be cleaned
or disinfected during the course OF their
experimental use. These telephones were
forwarded to DIR. Spitta at intervals with
all necessary precautions TO prevent any
alteration In their condition. and were
subjected to the same meteorological ex-
periments as the telephones previously
removed from public call offices. The
investigations were continued during the
year 1911. and a final report has now
been received from Or. spitta showing
that the results have been entirely mega
tive. He states that he is of the opinion
in view OF the whole course Of the ex-
perimental work that the transmission
Of tuberculosis through the medium Of
the telephone mouthpiece Is practically
impossible" These results are supported
by an independent inquiry initiated some
time ago by the American government
as to the condition Of public telephones
in the United States.
As statements are published from time
to time as to the possible transmission
OF tuberculosis by the use of telephones
the postmaster general is glad to be able
to announce the satisfactory results OF
these experiments. They fully confirm

No Danger of the Transmission of
Disease by Use of Public
Telephones.

The postmaster general Of England has
Issued the following statement on tho
inquiry as to the possible communication
OF diseases by the use Of telephones.
In view Of the Importance Of removing
any possible source of infectious disease
the postmaster general some time ago
requested DR.. spitta Of 81. Georges hos
pital and bacteriologist to the king to
undertake a thorough Investigation to
determine the possibility Of the COM
munication OF tuberculosis through the
use Of telephones. and especially Of those
in public call offices. For this purpose
a number Of telephones which had been
in use at busy call offices in London for
various periods and had received no spe-
cial cleansing treatment other than that
normally given to such telephones were
handed over to DR.. spitta for examina-
ton. In accordance with the method
usually followed in such investigations
washings were prepared from the mouth
pieces Of the telephones and tests were
made in each case by the incubation Of
guinea pigs to ascertain the presence Of
tubercle bacilli. DR.. spitta's report on
these experiments showed that the re
quits were most satisfactory. and that
the nouthpieces examined were free from
tubercle baeilh The telephones which
were used In this investigation had been
removed from call offices in postofrces,
railway termini. meat markets and other
places OF general resort.
In order to remove any possible doubt
O. to the exhaustive nature Of these
experiments the postmaster general. on
DR.. spitta's advice. decided to have
further experiments made with taae-
phones which were known to have been
exclusively used by persons suffering
from pulmonary tuberculosis For this
purpose It was arranged that telephones

DR.. CRAWFORD EXONERATED
Hanscom Park Methodist Minister
Cleared of SANDER Charge.
SUIT Is DISMISSED BY COURT
Lawyer. Who Want Fees Say They
See Unsound Mind Behind Pro-
eedure Mrs. Lavender
Pleads for Dismissal. -+

The SANDER suit against Rev. Z. b.
Crawford Of Hsnscom Park Methodist
church has been dismissed by the appel
late court in Chicago THURSDAY. In the
lower court Mrs. Mary Lavender secured
Judgment for 5000 against Crawford,
growing out OF Islander alleged to have
been uttered while he was pastor of a
church in Chicago. The lower court was
reversed.
The dismissal was the result of plea
by Mrs. Lavender asking such action. In
her bill she confessed to an error 10
fact" and declared that Justice would
not be done IL the judgment is affirmed
and enforced"
With the decision it became known that
Mrs. Lavender's sanity figured in the
latest litigation. The Rev. d. NJ. Tomp-
kirs. pastor of the Rogers Park Metho-
dist Episcopal church at Chicago and at
one time Mrs. Lavender's lawyer in the
ecclesiastical phases Of the case; DR.. A.
McDermid. Oliver H. Richards and Seth
F.. Crews and George F. ort. her attor-
neys in the SANDER suit, filed affidavits
declaring their belief that she Is now Of
unsoupd mind. The Rev. NJ. P. Boynton.
pastor of the Lexington Avenue Baptist
church, filed a counter affidavit.
Attorneys Want Their Fees.
Mrs. Lavender's attorneys charged that
her motive in asking reversal Of the
lower courts decision was simply a
sentimental desire 10 end the lawsuit. !"
In the same action they endesvored to
recover s2.Ooo in fees. Their affidavits
declare they took Mrs. Lavender's case
under contract that they were to receive
as compensation half Of any judgment
obtained.
In counter statement urging the ap-
pellate court to dismiss the case, Mrs.
Lavender said:
This action has been desired for more
than year. The petitioner denies that
her mental faculties are in any way i'm
paired Her plea is made entirely on the
merits Of the case. In no other way can
justice be done"
Case Began Three Years Ago.
The Islander suit was the outcome of
accusations made three years ago by Dr.
thSA faotSi VI khc
Park Methodist church, against Mrs
Lavender. who was a member OF his
church, involving improper relations be-
tween her and the Rev. ]. d. Leek. q
former pastor Of the woodlawn church.
Mrs. Lavender sued Or. Crawford for
$4,000 damages. The decision OF the ap-
pellate court relieves DR.. Crawford not
only from a payment Of the money dam
ages but exonerates him from the charge
OF Islander.
When asked about the decision yester-
day in her home in woodlawn. Mrs. Law
ender said:
Il regard the insanity charge made
against me as a huge joke. II Is nobody's
business what meant by errors in fact
The case has now reached finaiity.
