National Com. on Prison
Labor 10 Work in Maine.
Attempt 10 Be Made to Repeal
Laws Regulating Prisoners.
Other States Copying Our Reduc.
ton for Good BehavIoh

New York, Nov. l.--tSpeciaD.-
Maine is one of the States in which
an effort is to be made by the national
committee on prison labor to have re-
pealed several of its laws regulating
the treatment of prisoners. This re-
vision will be based on a compilation
of all the statutes pertaining to pris-
on sentences in the different States,
made by Dr. e. stagg Within, assist
ant in social legislation in Columbia
University, and chairman of the exec
utive committee of the national COM
mittee on prison labor.
: The leasing of prisoners under the
contract system for work inside the
institution is the feature of the Maine
law which the national committee Will
attempt to have amended. Jail prls-
oners may be used in the censtrue-
zion and repair of highways, but not
! so with the men confined in the prison.
/ Solitary confinement of prisoners is
another phase of Names prison laws
which the committee will endeavor to
have repealed.
Maine has a law which requires the
| branding of all goods manufacturer
in prison and put on sale in the opef
market. This law, however, has beer
declared unconstitutional in every

MANY IN TORONTO
Works Quickly Before 200 Doc
tors at University,
There.
HE SHOWS TWO METHODS
Physician Later Makes Immun-
izing Injections at the
Childrcn'S Hospital.
III SHOWS TWO METHODS

TORONTO. ont, March 14.--Dr. Fried
mann treated more than forty cases of
tuberculosis in the presence Of 200 rep
resentativc medical men at the patho-
logical department OF the University Of
Toronto this morning
The specialist worked quickly and
without mysterious display. A quick
brush with an antiseptic. "A jab with u
hypodcrmic needle and everything was
over.
Dr. friedman showed two methods
of treatment, namely, "A single injection
into the veins for lung tuberculosis and
two injections into the veins and mus
clcs for tuberculosis of the glands and
joints.
The first patient was a handsome girl
whose arm was barred. The treatment
was at the elbow joint Two minutes
later came young laborer with knee
40 badly affected that he could hardly
walk. After an injection into the veins
Dr. Friedman decided to inject into
the muscles of the patients thigh. An
other syrinCeful Of the serum was
emptied. Then the patient was carried
out.
DIR. Friedman was warming to his
work. As he finished the operation he
turned To the audience saying slowly
in English. Not virulent-not toxic
quite safe" lie smiled in delight at his
successful speech. The other patients
passed through in "A continuous stream
and were treated in a similar way.
In the afternoon DIR. friedman Wis.,
tied the Sick Children's Hospital Most
of the children treated were not ac-
tually suffering from tuberculosis, but
had been exposed tn the disease. He
gave them an immunizing dose of the
serum. Five children were treated at
n time. except those who had tubercu-
! losis. There were about six of these
and they were treated separately.
Dr. Friedman early in the evening
returned To the Queens Hotel for din
ner and left at s o'clock for London,
where he will treat "A few patients be-
fore leaving for New York Tomorrow
evening.

FINDS PATENT LEAK"
Com ssiOner Moore Attributes II to
Friedmann's Attorney.

WASHINGTON, March 14.--The mystery
of how Dr. Friedmann's application for
an American patent or trademark
protection for his tuberculosis remedy
gained publicity was cleared to-day by
Edward II. Moore, Commissioner OF
Patents.
Mr.. Moore, who at once started an
investigation to find the source of the
leak. learned TO his own satisfaction
that 1t came from DR. f'riedmann's at
torncy in Berlin. The Commissioner
declined tonight to say whether or not
the application was for patent or a
trademark.
There has never been patent and
there have been only few trademarks
issued on serums, vaCcines or toxins in
the United States. Government medi-
cal authorities expressed surprise that
Or. Friedman had taken such a step
to protect his remedy.
1t was pointed out that Or. Koch and
all other scientists who have developed
have given their work free TO the world
According to reports that have reached
the Patent Office and the Public Health
Service, DIR. Friedman not only made
application to the United States Patent
Office last July but applied for similar
protection from the German Govern
ment in 1904 He also made applca-
tions to the British and Russian and
other European Governments.
Commissioner Moore declined to tell
why the application here has not been
acted upon
