Given by National Bureau

the government any of his tuberculosis
cultures, which he asserts will cure the

rine hospital service, reported today
that at three-hour conference with
the discoverer he was unable to gain his
consent to permit the government to
make tests with his serum
DR., Friedman refused to part with
his remedy and said he would not per-
init patients to be treated unless he
were persent and unless he made the
examinations himself. He told DIR. An
derson it would take from six to eight
weeks to demonstrate his cure If he
be permitted to demonstrate it, DR..
Friedman said he would Operate
with the government but not other
wise.
At a conference between Secretary

no official recognition would be given
to the cure until the government re-
Ceived cultures and demonstrated their
worth.

SLOVENIAN BEER
REVOKED

Following the filming in police court of
Harry Silverman and the revoking of
his near-beer license, Recorder Broyles
today notified Police Chief Beavers
that, under the terms OF the law, Sill
verman must close his restaurant and
cabaret show at II o'clock at night
This action was taken under the law
that specifies all places where near
beer is sold must close at the regula-
ton hour of II o'clock.
Silverman has given bond and an
nounced that he will appeal the $500
fine imposed by the recorder on the
charge of selling near beer after hours.
Under a ruling by the city attorney
in previous cases, to the effect that an
appeal to the higher courts suspends
the penalty imposed by the recorder,
Silverman, ii is believed will be al
lowed to continue the sale Of near
beer IN his restaurant pending a final
decision. Under the order Of Judge
Broyles today, however, he will have to
close his place at II o'clock at night,
just the same as though ii were a sa-
loon.
Inc restaurant ana CABARET has been
operated as an after theater resort.
Plain Clothes Officers MoKibben and
Gresham testified in police court that
on several occas ions they visited the
place after II o'clock at night and
bought near beer paying 25 cents per
bottle for It.
On Saturday night, they said, they
bought near-beer after ~ o'clock.
Silverman pleaded with Judge
Broyles not to revoke his near beer
license, declaring this would ruin his
restaurant business, but the same law,
under which he was fined, automatlcal-
ly revoked the license.
You should have thought of all this
before you violated the law" suggested
the. court.
SiIverman professed ignorance Of the
fact that near-beer was being sold after
hours. and. asserted that if 1t was being
dispensed at % cents per bottle the
walters were doing this on their own
motion and were pocketing the extra
money

PATCHING OF STAMPS
TO RAISE VALUE NEW
PARCEL POST FRAUD

NEW YORK, March FRAUDS in
the use of parcel post stamps are being
revealed here. Although the denomi-
nations Of the new stamps range from
l cent to 81, they are all printed In the
same color-red-and are of similar de-
sign. This confVses the parcel post
clerks and opens the door to fraudulent
practices on the part of certain per-
sons.
The denomination of l cent is indi-
Gated by the words 'one- cent?" on
the bottom part of the stamp In the
dollar stamp the word dollar" takes
the place Of cent" 1t has been found,
it is said, that in a number of instances
the word dollar" has been cut out of
an old stamp and pasted over the word
cent" on the 1-Cent stamp.
The clerks in their hurry have mis-
taken the patched-up 1-cent for the
dollar stamp
