NEW YORK, Feb. PIT am be-
ginning to feel very much at home"
Dr. friedman, discoverer Of a pur-
ported germ fer tuberculosis, said.
this whimsically today, as with a.
Characteristic teutonic gesture, he In
dicated the pile Of letters, telegrams
and cablegrams that Uttered the tables
and chairs in his apartment at the
Waldorf-Asto and overflowed onto
the floor.
His secretary explained what was
obviously meant to be u joke by tell
Ing how friedman had preserved, In
his little Berlin flat, every letter, tel
egram, cablegram and postcard that
has come to him since he first leaped
into the worlds spotlight.
He said that the young scientist lit
orally had been deluged with NAL
and telegraphic messages for months,
until thousands of them lay all over
his flat. Not one was thrown away,
and when tables, chairs and book
shelves would hold no more, they were
thrown on the floors until every
room was carpeted with them
That is why I begin to feel at
home,' added the doctor, HIS blue
eyes a-twinkle.
Dir. friedman, before setting out
on another hunt for quarters. was
waiting to conclude his arrangements
with the United States government.
By order Of Surgeon-G General Blue,
Dr. Milton II. Foster, OF the United
States public health and marine hos
pital service, with laboratory ex-
pert of the department, had an ap-
polntment with Friedman for con
ference today, at which final details
were to be arranged for government
test of the culture. Friedmnn's en-
thusiasm has Heightened by news
from Washington that Senator Gore
Of Oklahoma, had ready proposal
chat the United States buy the rights
to the friedman baccilli, should the
official tests prove the cure to be
real
The pilgrimage of tuberculosis pa
tients got no IIrther than the outel
portals of the big hotel today, because
hotel attaches were posted at ever,
entrance to tell applicants that the
German scientist positively would no.
treat any patients until he has fitted
up quarters elsewhere.
After yesterdays procession of sicl
persons, Friedman, through Hundt
his secretary, gave the hotel manage
nlent assurance that he intended tx
use their hostelry as a residence, ant
would not set up any laboratory O
Clinic within its walls.
Should the question of Friedmann'
legal right to administer his cultur,
