Washington, March 13-Director j.

the condition of patients already
treated before he reveals the secret
of his mixing method and the dose.
The public health service today
procured reasonable verification of
the report that DR.. Friedman, as far
back as last July, applied to this
government for a patent on his rem

in the secret archives OF the patent
Office information relative to DR..
Friedmann's intention Is said to have
come through a foreign source. No
patent, however, has been issued. It
was pointed out also that no com.
mercial firm could introduce any such
vaccine into the country without the
approval of the public health ser
vice. which approval could only come
after thorough tests.
Thus far the government authori
ties have received a culture from DR.
Friedman and they have begun the
making Of sub cultures through vari
Gus culture media. When these sub
cultures are grown they will be test
ed on laboratory animals, such as
monkeys, rabbits, mice and guinea
pigs. The government will use the
vaccine on no human beings but will
keep constant watch of the patients
already treated by DR.. Friedman.
The public health service is daily
being besleged by tuberculosis suf-
ferers seeking DR.. Friedmanns treat
ment. Members of Congress also are
receiving appeals from persons in all
sections of the country, but the gov.
eminent can do nothing at this time
and can make no recommendation
until a fair test has been made.

THE EASTER EGG
Its Origin and Many Pretty Legends,
and Folk Tales

The origin of the Easter egg seems
to be good deal of puzzle. Arch.
biologists have traced 1t back to an
cient Egypt, where the egg was re-
garded as an emblem Of creation.
The Hebrews adopted it to symbolic
the idea of their emergence from bon
dage, and the Christians later on
took 1t up as an emblem of the res.
direction. The egg appears to have
been regarded anciently also as en-
blematic of the world, which, accord
ing to very old tradition, was Matched
out or created at Eastertide. The
druds used II in their ceremonies,
and the Persians of old gave eggs
to each other at the feast of the yer.
nal equinox in honor of the spring
time renewal of all things. All these
notions run together-the egg stand
ing for the beginning of all things,
for the origin Of life and for repro
duction. II represents fecundity and

Easter is the festival OF spring

year began at Easter, and gifts were
then exchanged to celebrate the sea

long before the birth of Christ, the
Romans gave each other eggs, and
they held games at which eggs were
bestowed as prizes.

This Is Ultimatum in Bill Be.
fore Senate Today.
Tax on KanSanS Who Don't Go
to Polls.
MONEY IN GOOD ROADS FUND
Estimated That S35O,OOO Reve-
nue. Would Be Result.
Sickness and Disability Only
Excuse Legal.

A Plan to levy a tax on all persons
in Kansas who fail to vote at elections
is incorporated in a bill introduced in
the senate today by J. NJ. Davis of
Bourbon county. If a qualified cleo
tor does not go to the polls he will be
fined three dollars and the money will
be turned into the city or township
good roads fund. 1t is estimated that
there are 100000 eligible voters in
Kansas. Only 80 per cent of these
voters go to the polls in a normal
vote. This means that in the entire
state more than 120,0 persons would
ment revenue of more than $350,OO0.
The bill provides further that an
elector may be fined three dollars for
not voting at either the primary cleo
in November. However, if he votes
at the primary and not the election
or the election and not the primary,
he will be taxed S1.50.
The new rule will begin next
year, if the bill passes both branches
of the legislature. It will be in effect
every even numbered year thereafter
at least until some oncoming body
of legislators repeals it.
Disability the Only Excuse.
The only legal excuse for an eIector
not to vote will be a certificate from
a physician showing that the eligible
voter is sick, or physically and men
tally unable to go to the polls If the
Massachusetts ballot law offered by
Senator Carney passes, the ignorant
voter will be barred from making in
telligent marks on the ballots. But
he will have to go inside the booths and
make an attempt at saving his coun-
try-or the fine is inflicted.
The intention of the bill, according
to Senator Davis, is to bring out the
vote in Kansas. He believes that if
a fine of three dollars is attached to
the election day privileges, the state
will bring out a Representative vote
Money from the tax will be turned
over to the improvement of roads in
the state. It will be collected by the
county treasurer and distributed to the
duty of the trustees of the townships
and the mayors of the cities to re-
quire complete list of all the per-
sons in their districts liable to this tax

formal hearing before the commission
which is expected to require at least
two days, will begin.
When today's meeting was called to
order Attorney Marshall suggested that
chairman should be selected, and
City Attorney Higgins, of Kansas City,
Kan, was chosen for the place Taking
up the petition for the appointment OF
receivers for the Kansas Natural, the
granting of which has raised such a
storm of protest against Judge John @.
Pollock, Marshall suggested that II
would be we'll to read it through and
agree to such allegations as might be
found true.
1t was therefore agreed that the Kan
sas Natural was organized with a cap
ital stock of $4,000, 900 which later was
increased to 81, 900 900, and that the in
corporators of the company, r. A. Long,
r. NJ. Snyder, sr.. and r. NJ. Snyder,
jr., and M. NJ. Sweetman. received $12.-
000, 900 in stock and 100000 in bonds
that were converted into cash for leases
held by them on oil and gas lands.
1t was also agreed that certain pipe
lines are owned and operated by the
Kansas Natural in supplying certain
cities In Kansas and western Missouri
with natural gas.
1t was evidently the idea of those who
gathered this morning to agree to all
facts possible, expediting the work of
the commission when it's hearings be-
gin, but 1t is believed likely that no
agreement can be reached in questions
relating to the necessity for an increase
in the rates to be charged for gas,

BY APPOINTMENT
House Votes to Keep Utilities
Commission That Way.
Vote Stood 95 to 25 Against the
Election Plan.

When a majority of the house Judi
ciary committee reported favorably to-
day on the Upplinger bill making the
utilities commission elective and Rob
ert Stone, of Shawnee, filed minority
report, it precipitated the first really
lively war since the opening of the 1913
session of the legislature. Stones re-
port was adopted after much oratory
by a vote of 95 to % and the naming
of members of the commission is still
vested in the governor.
The Upplinger bill was the first pub
lie revelation f a sore spot on the epi-
dermus of the majority leaders. Upp-
fingers measure was generally recog-
nized as a slap at Hodges and to de-
horn him in event of his reelection
two years hence. The bill went to the
judiciary committee and a majority of
the members of that committee re-
ported the bill favorably and recon-
mended it's passage. But Stone, of
Shawnee, stood firm and said the COM
mission should be removed from poll
tics regardless of whether there was a
Republican or Democratic governor. He
filed the minority report and fought
for it's adoption.
After Stone had finished his speech,
Robert s. Hendricks, of Rawline
county, took the lead for the opposition.
Hendricks defied the Progressive Re-
display their consistency and urged
them to rally around the majority re-
port, placing the naming of members
of the commission in the hands of the
voters
Then Speaker Brown left the chair
and declared that Governor Hodges as
member of the conference committee
in 1911, stood for the naming of the
commission by the governor and that
he should not now be denied the right
Brown insisted that the members who
supported the utilities bill two years
ago would be unfaithful if they voted
against the minority report.
Wilson, of Greeley, took a hand in
the fight for the majority report and
for the first time since the opening of
the session s. n. Brewster, of Doni-
phan, took real chips in a floor fight
He declared that if the Democratic
majority voted for the majority report,
that it would be a complete reversal
of their stand two years ago and call
ed the Democratic members attention
to the fact that there was nothing in
the 1912 platform which advocated the
election of utilities commission by
the people.
This is not a progressive STEP"
urged Brewster but it is a step back
ward in favor of a political commits
sion instead of d nonpartisan one"
Keene, of Bourbon, also supported
the Stone report Then Miles Mulroy,
of Ellis, moved the previous question
and the roll was called. On the ques-
tion of adopting the Stone report.

GAS RATE CASE
Preliminary Steps Today to the
Real Hearing.
City and Gas Officials in Con-
ference Here Today.

A meeting of persons representing
various interests in the natural gas case
pending before the Kansas public util-
tiles commission, at which an effort is
being made to agree upon as many
facts as possible in order to facilitate
the work of the commission, is in pro-
gress today. The work is necessarily
slow, nothing being placed in the agreed
statement that is not acceded to by all
the interests represented. The meet
ing is likely to be continued all day
tomorrow, preparatory to the hearing
before the commission set for Friday
morning
Interests represented at the meeting
this morning included city attorneys or
mayors of Leavenworth Atchison
Kansas City, Lawrence, Topeka, and
other Kansas cities using natural gas,
and also representatives of the distrib-
uting companies of the various cities
receivers of the Kansas Natural Gas
company.
The morning meeting was taken up
with agreement as to formal matters
relat ting to the organization of the Kan
sas Natural Gas company, it's capital
ization and the transfer of lease of gas
and col lnds in southeastern Kansas to
the corporation, and construction of
pipe lines. the taking over of city pipe
lines in cities where artificial gas for
merly had been used, etc Much of the
afternoon session is expected also to be
occupied with formal matters of a sim
liar nature
Representatives of the various inter-
ests are of the opinion that when the
meeting completes the agreement ON
formal matters that it will be unable
to reach anything like an agreement
and coal lands in southeastern Kansas to
reason for the meeting Attorney John
Marshall for the public utilities COM
mission declared that in his opinion the
application for the appointment of re-
ceivers for the Kansas Natural alleged
that incorporators merely had made a
mistake in judgment in overestimating
the value of the lands taken over under
leases.
Friday morning such facts as can be
a greed upon will be presented to the
public utilities commission, and the
