ROW WITH HIS BROTHER

DR. friedman tried last night To rid
himself of troublcmakers and to avoid
further harassments in his tubercular
culture clinics by debating a formal
statement. He began:
II shall stay in this country as long as !
deem il necessary TO complete IN" work

NO man in the world has paid III" a
cent since | left Berlin While ! was in
Europe MIR Finlav ICharlcs 4. finlay.

Dr. friedman was interrupted by
question IA to whether he thought he had
been deceived by person in this coun try
who had urged him to come here by
promises that could not be fulfilled. He
went on with his dictated statement:

DR.. friedman then asked Charles de
Vidal -Hundt, his secretary. to get the
cable which MIR Finlay had sent regarding x
the treatment Of Mr.. Paris. Mr.. de Vidal
Hundt had sat nervously through the
doctors talk and had once or twice tried
to switch him to something else. The
| secretary went out and then came back
saying he couldn't find tn. cablegram,
This message Mr.. Finlay has denied
sending.
Besides Nj. de Vidal-Ilundt, DR.. Ben

mann's assistant and DR.. NJ A. Srurm
OF the Ansonia We're also in the room.
DR.. Sturm was chided by DR.. Friedmann
for laughing at his remarks and later
found an excuse to leave.
For a week or more there have been
rumors about the Ansonia that Dr. Fried
mann Of Berlin and his brother from
Colorado City were not on the best Of
terms. Reason for the belief in the ex-
istence of an open break between them
was given yesterday when II was ascer-
tained that DR.. A. c. II. Friedman had
left DR.. F F.. Friedmann's 9 apartments on
the seventh floor and taken rooms by
himself on the second floor. DR.. F. r.
friedman is now the only occupant Of
fhe four room suite on the seventh floor.
DR.. Friedmann's 9 statement came as the
result IL is understood of the recently pub
lished reports that the American Druggists
Syndicate was trying through his brother
DR. A. c. II. Friedman. to buy the eX-
elusive manufacturing and sale rights Of
the remedy in this country. DR.. Fried
mann denies any knowledge of this
deal Then too. the evening papers
Friedman was disgruntled at the hope
lessness OF several Of the cases selected
for the Government tests at Seton Hos
pital, to have taken place yesterday. and
was likely To return to Berlin withou,
completing his work here
DR. Friedman Immediately denied tina,
the postponment of the Seton clinic was
due to any other reason than "A disordered
culture oven which had made II impossible
to prepare his in jections.
