New York Awaits Arrival

NEW YORK, June 11.-Now that the date has been positively set for the arrival here of the giant steamship ImperatOr on June IS, all New York is busy polishing up opera glasses, tele- scopes and field glasses for the first peep at the mightiest vessel aflOat Probably the greatest crowd that has packed the Battery and the river front since the return of Admiral Deewy's victorious fleet will greet the leviat- han.
 Doubtless there will be some among the crowd to welcome her on her arri val here who saw the Great Eastern on her arrival here more than half a century ago. The giant piers necessary for the docking of this monster vessel over which there has been so much discussion will be completed and will themselves come in for much atten- tion, though it will be the Imeratopr that all New York is planning to turn out to see.
 This vessel which is the largest in the world and which will carry the population of a goodsized town, is 919 feet, or nearly a fifth of a mile, in length. Incidentally she is the first ship to be built with length of more than 900 feet. Could she be stood on end besides the WoolorWth building the taIlest skyScra per in the world, she would tower above it by 150 feet. Her beam of 9S feet is equal to the width of the city's widest boulevards. Tn ad i dition she will tower as high above tho water as Q seven story building. hel

DR.. Peter P. Duket, of Chicago,
Has Alleged Cure for Suffer-
ers From tuberculosis.

With the investigation of the Fried
mann anti-tuberculosis treatment still
unfinished, the Public Health Service to-
day began a second probe Of an alleged
cure-that Of DR.. Peter p. Duket, Of Chi
cago.
DR.. Juhus o. Cobb, director Of the Ma
rine Hospital in Chicago. Is in charge Of
the examination.
Practically the only information which
the Public Health Service has thus far
is from representations of former Sen
ator William Lorimer and a medical
journal.
The treatment is believed here to be a
bacillus vaccine, but the Health Service
officials are practically in the dark as
to the nature of DIR. Duket's methods.
Former Senator Lorimer, who. with
Senator Johnston, Of the Military AZ
fairs Committee. called upon DR.. Kerr.
assistant surgeon general, asserts that
DIR. Duket has actually effected tuber-
culosis cures in Chicago.

by the Public Health Service is from a
Chicago medical paper. which intimates

hundred or more which have come to
light since DR.. Friedmann's alleged cure
has been widely advertised
The Public Health Service regards this
statement of the medical journal as
''back-handed slap" at DR.. Duket, nut II
has consented to have DR.. Julius o.
Cobb observe the treatment in Chicago.
The service is making only an in,
vestigation at the behest Of former
Senator Lorimer, in view Of his conf
dent representations that the cure Is
efficacious. State governors have been
asked to send representatives to Chi
cage to watch the Government observa-
tions, according to Lorimer.
Has Not Reported.
DR.. StimsoI, who has been watching
the progress Of Friedman patients in
New York, is in the city for few days.
but he declined to make any statement
TODAY as to their condition.
He declared that the Government de-

out either a formal or informal report.
The Public Health Service declared to-
day that DR.. Stimson has not reported
anything to them concerning his New
York tests
