DISCOVER NEW SERUM
 TO PREVENT CONSUMPTION,
Experiments on Rabbits in Johns Hopkins Hospital Prove to Be Successful

Baltimore. Md, Aug. 29-The scien- lists in the Johns Hopkins Hospital are of the belief that an antitoxin has been discovered that may make the human race immune to consumption. For long time Dr. Louis Hamman and Dr. Charles F. Austrian hayo been working on such virus, and for several months experiments have been made on rabbits. About six months ago a rabbit was inoculated with tho antitoxin and then subjected 10 an in- lection of tuberculosis germs At the end of month the rabbit showed nG signs of ill health. It's appetite inn proved and it took on weight:
 This continued until few days ago the rabbit at all times showing every indication of robust health. Then the rabbit died and the hospital experts believed all their hopes had been de-, feated. An autopsy, however failetu to reveal any traces of tuberc ulosis; in fact, the body of the rabbit seenea and nothing could be found thaa should have caused death. The phy- sicians finally came to the conclusion that the, rabbit died of ma atural causes. Tn the meantime they had inoculated a number of other rabbits. Everu one of them is in excellent condition, despite the fact that they were filed with enough germs to kill them in sL few days.
 The formula of the antitoxin is kept secret by Drs. Hamman and Austrian. The latter has gone to Germany tp further perfect his discovery, while ths former is keping his inoculated rab- bits under close surveillance. Botlf physicians are firm in their belief that the serum can be used as a preven- tive of the great plague, such as is now used to ward off raYageS of t5r- phoid fever

TRAMP DOG SAVES GIRL.

New Brunswick. N T., Aug. 29-A homeless, half-breed Newfoundland dog found it's way into Sound Bound Brook a. few days ago. and, too tired to go any further, fingered under the boathouse of John Wobus, on the Raritan shore. Hector, as some one called it, was lying on the pier at Wobus yesterday afternoon. when Miss Bertha Thompson, daughter of John Thompson, put out in her. canoe.
 When she was fifty feet from the pier she dropped her paddle, and in trying to recover it upset the canoe. The next instant the dog had plunged off the pier and was swimming. swift ly toward her. As she came up the second time Hector fastened it's teeth in her waist, and in a few minutes had her safely on shore. Hector is no longer a homeless dog.

NO IMMUNITY FOR ANY SUSPECT IN CRAFT PROBE Justice Golf Notifies Prose cutor Whitman to Re
 wise Witness List GaynOr and Waldo Among First Witnesses to Be
 Called

,. New York, AugA 29---Na police off cial or civilian under suspicion will be permitted to. testify at the John Doe'' proceedings to be begun before Justice Golf. next Tuesday, Because at the Lexow investigation, where he first attained fame as the counsel and all other investigations of official cor ruption held in this State, partici- pants secured immunity by testifying. Justice Golf served notice on District Attorney Whitman that there will be a new rule. this time.
 The trail of corruption, which it is alleged permeates the police depart ment and is thought to reach into other city departments, will be fol- lowed to. the fountainhead But the proof, Justice Golf is determined, shall not come from participants but from independent outside sources so that indictment and punishment shall be made certain.
 Justice Golf has scrutinized District Attorney Whitman's list of witnesses. It is understood that he has ordered certain officails eliminated on the ground that unless it is proven that they have clean skirts, they shall not be called
 Among the first witnesses will be Mayor Gaynor and Police Commis- sioner Waldo. Only few. inspectors and practically none of the civil enn- ployes of the department will be sworn. Whitman today started an investigation of the report that Thorn as Coupe, night clerk at the Ell1s Club the most important of the eye witnesses of the staying of Rosen- thai. has gone to Europe. If Coupe cannot be sworn as a witness the States case will be hurt as he is the only man who has identified pictures of the accused murderers as the men he saw do the shooting. The district attorneys office believes that the two gunmen still missing will be called as witnesses in Lieutenant Becker's hear ing.
 Meanwhile the district attorney is investigating the report that the big men in the game raised s15,000 to buy Rosenthal off for a year and that Rose. webber and val1on stole the money thus precipitating the entire scandal If this charge can be proven by Becker's lawyers. it was admitted today, it would materially injure the States alleged motive for Becker wanting Rosenthal killed.
