DEATH NOT DUE TO HIM
Physician Declares that His Serum Had
Nothing to Do with Demise of
Man Who Took Treatment.

Providence, R. l.. April n.-Dr. Fried
mann gave free treatment to over a
score of patients at st. Joseph's Hos
pital this afternoon. and left tonight
for Washington, to talk to the Gridiron
Club tomorrow night and the scientists
on Sunday.
The doctor explained the death of Ben
jamin Temple, in Mount St. Sinai Hos
pital, New York, as being due to the
breaking of internal glands.
'In every case of tuberculosis" said
he, there is danger that internal glands
may break and spread the tubercular
bacilli in the blood and cause meningitis
and paralysis. That is liable to happen
in an early case or in an advanced
one. 1t happened In the case Of Temple

FRIEDMAN PATIENT
DIES IN NEW YORK

New York, April 1.-THE death of Ben
jamin Temple in Mount Sinai Hospital
late yesterday marks the second death
OF a patient treated with DIR. F. F. Fried
mann's turtle serum" cure for tubercu-
losis. The fatal result is laid to the ad-
vanced stage of the disease from which
the patients were suffering. however. and
not to the effects of the injection of the
cure discovered by the German specialist.
Il think no physician in possession OF
the facts of this case would attribute
Temples death in any way to DR.. Fried
mann's incubation" said DIR. s. S.
Goldwater, head Of the hospital. ITEM
pie was a very sick man when brought
here three weeks ago. He not only had
pulmonary tuberculosis in an advanced
stage, but the disease had attacked tho
bones of his wrists, causing a lesion.
AS often happens in such cases, menin-
gifts developed. and it was from this that
the patient died.
DR.. A. G. H. friedman. brother Of the
discoverer of turtle seram, had no COM
ment to make on the fatal termination in
the Temple case. which he said. he did
not remember specifically.

of the dutiable period. The members
from sugar producing States have shown
so much temper that they have aroused
q spirit Of resentment among those who
want free sugar, but who were willing
to compromise on the three-year dutiable
period proposed in the Underwood bill as
introduced.
Efforts made by the opponents of free
sugar and free wool to make a COM
bination with other Democratics who
are opposed to some of the features OF
the Underwood bill have failed. Present
indications are that it will be impossible
to effect any alliance among the dis
affected elements against the organiza-
ton headed by Representative Under
wood. The organization has the support
of the administration, and it Is this fact
that deters members disgruntled over
the tariff bill from getting together.

probably the. meeting will be projected
into next week. Little progress has been
made on the bill in the last three days.
Three schedules have been passed upon.

COL. G. W. COCKTAILS
WILL HAVE THE SAY

The shipowner who aspires to have his
vessel the first to pass through the
Panama Canal will apply to Col. George
w. Goethals, u. S. A, in charge of the
canal construction.
Secretary of War Garrison announced
yesterday that it is the intention OF the
War Department to leave with Col.
Goethals the selection of the first ship
to 20 over the course. The department
does not know what Col. Cocktails plans
are, but there will be no interference
from Washington. Application was made
on behalf of Capt. RoaId Amundsen. dis
coverer of the South Pole, to have his
exploring ship. the Fran, given the
honor. This request has been referred to
Col. Goethals.
Those who know Col Goethals have a
suspicion that the first vessel to pass
through the canal will be the first craft
available which is sufficiently large to
accommodate Col. Goethals himself on
trial trip from ocean to ocean, even
if it be but a rowboat.

Mr.. Mantell at his best held his audi

to the madness he constantly feared by
the heartless treatment of the very
daughter for whom he mad exchanged

Mr.. Mantell was thoroughly imbued with
his part. Never for a second did he be-

finished art was convincing in it's SYM
pathetic and scholarly Interpretation of
very difficult character. Mr.. Mantelrs
Lear is very true as study of age
made impotent by the very magnitude
of it's wrong-a heart broken by ingrati
tude and a spirit overpowered by the
very magnitude of the wrong to which
it has been subject. The transitions
from sobriety to anger to impotence
were easy and convincing. In whatever
state, Mr.. Mantell's voice was excel

its uncontrol

In the scene with Cordelia, the picture
of the awakening reason. the gradual
change from darkness to slightly
clouded intellect was shown with delicacy
and sympathy. No one but a, master
Lear could have modulated his facial
expression, tone, voice, and motion of pal
sled hand with such consummate art.
Mr.. Mantell was fortunate in having
such strong support Cordelia, as por-
trayed by Miss Hamper, was, to be
sure. rather disappointing, though her
beauty was a delight to the eye. But
special mention must be made of the
fine work Of Mr.. Guy Lindoley, as the

their parts with conviction.

appreciation of the many who were for
tunate enough to have braved the wealth

JHAM LEWIS LAST
LEGISLATIVE PRODUCT
New Illinois Senator Will Complete
List of Members Chosen
Indirectly.

Senator-elect J. Hamilton Lewis, who
will be sworn in next week, will be the
last member to take his seat on creden-
tiaIs given him by State Legislature.
Mr.. Lewis is next to the last man so
elected, his colleague, Senator l.. Y.
Sherman, who will present him, being the
last elected.
Senator Sherman was elected by the
Illinois Legislature for the short term to
I'LL the vacancy caused by the unseating
of William Loriner, just fifty minutes
after Senator Lewis was elected for the
long term Senator Sherman presented
his credentials and was sworn in last
Monday. Senator Lewis although
elected before his Republican colleague,
will not present his credentials until
some day next week, probably Monday or
Tuesday.
These two Senators are the last to be
elected by State Legislature. Since their
election the Seventeenth Amendment has
been ratified and now is of the basic
law, requiring that hereafter United
States Senators must be elected, as are
members of the Lower House, by the di-
rect vote Of the people; a reform which
has in many States already been accom-
plished through pledging State Legisla-
tors to support certain Senatorial candi-
dates before voting for them.
