BABY SEPARATED
 FROM ITS MOTHER
How Deportation Law Worked In Inn
 migrants Case.

New York, May 7-An instance in which a provision of the immigration law is said to have worked hardship on German girl and to have caused what is called an unnatural separa- tion of a mother and her baby, is re- ported by the Legal Aid Society. The Society says that a short time ago a letter was received by Arthur von Briesen, it's president, which read:
 "A young. poor woman, friendless, has been assaulted, blacl1mailed, per secuted, jailed, ill treated, and is now at Ellis Island, awaiting deportation, because she is too poor to pay for American justice, She is Annie Hof a waitress. German, tolerant. modest, and merciful, although hOmely. Com municate at once with her and md out why detectives hound and islander her, a victim of our society. Investt- gate into lives of her prosecutors, and find out the superiority of character of that frail creature to prosecuting brutes. We may call Monday.
 The letter was not signed, but the Society tried nevertheless. to find Annie Hof The record of her case was found at Ellis Island, and is given as follows
 Annie Hof was born in Germany in 1890 and arrived here on September 20. 1910. Her uncle John Sieber, who lived at No. 150 Ninth avenue, in furnished room, had sent her the pas sage money for the steamer.
 On September 15, 1912, a child was born to Annie Hof, who was still un- married. A resident of Orange N. J., where Annie Hof had been living for a short time, thereupon informed the immigration authorities, demanding her deportation.
 The Society report continues:
 "A warrant was issued by the Com missioner of Immigration, upon which she was arrested on March 19 of this year and taken to Ellis Island. After a protracted hearing on Ellis Island, at which the woman was not repre- sented by counsel, she was ordered deported upon the ground that she had been permitted three years ago to enter the United States for immoral purposes as an assisted alien, her passage ticket having been paid by her uncle"
 / Annie Hof pleaded not to be sepa- rated from her child. but to be per mitted to remain in the country de- claring her willingness to work as Q servant. The immigration authorities. however upon the ground of want Of jurisdiction over the boy who being born upon American soil is an An1eri- can citizen, ordered the deportation of the mother without her child. The order was carried out.
 "She had been deported before the Legal Aid Society had been able to investigate her case.
 Here" the report concludes, i've have a case of the deportation of a mother while her child a. native of this country, remains here among strangers. The child will remain a public burden, while the mother, if here. could by proper proceedings, have enforced it's support on the part of it's father The law is wrong and al oh hn oh in der to prevent in the future such an unnatural separa tion of a mother from her baby and also in order 10 prevent the baby from becoming a public charge for more than twenty years"

TUBERCULOSIS CASES
 DRIFT ABOUT THE COUNTRY
About 5o.C0o of Them in Which no
 Physician is Consulted.


 Washington, May 9-About 50.000 new cases of tuberculosis are con Stantly drifting about the coutry with out even consulting physicians. Dr. Harry Lee Barnes, Superintendent of the Rhode Island State Sanatarium, who made this statement today at the ninth annual meeting of the National Association for the Study and Proven tion of Tuberculosis. pointed out the desifability of finding such early cases. Before they are found. he said, many of the patients become incurab1e and infect others
 The significance of blood-spitting, pleurisy, chronic cough. and night sWeats, declared pr. Barnes, should be well known to the public A large percentage of the people had no def nite idea about the various state and municipal sanatoria, o1 what consump- tives might hope for by entering them. States and municipalities having sanatQria, he said, ought to advertise them enough to let the people know what they can do. The ease with which consumptives could be infiu- enced by advertising was well shown by the sale of consumptive cures" The sale of patent medicine advertiS- ed to benefit consumption had exceed ed 1000 bottles in Rhode Island in one year, an average of IT bottles for each death from tuberculosis. The speaker recommended described the early symptoms of tuberculosis in newspaper advertisements until they were stereCtyped on the brain of every one who could read

THE DIFFICULTIES OF
 FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS
They Are Especially Great In Rural
 Districts, Says a Speaker.

Washington, May e-The special difficulties of fighting tuberculosis in the rural districts were described by Dr. Charles S. Prest, Health Officer of Waterford, N. Y. in paper read today at the ninth annual meeting of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
 "The prevention of tuberculosis in the country and small towns" he de- clared, lis a mans job in the fullest degree and requires just as much if not more, thought, experience, judg- ment, persistence, and money per cap- ita as in any large city.
 The difficulties that are met arise from the less highly developed local government, less expert and effective health officials, less inclination to be governed less voluntary organization for practical social work greater op- position to even temporary increased taxation, and the deep-rooted ignor- ance and belief in the heredity and fatality of tuberculosis.
 "The ignorance in the country dis tricts concerning tuberculosis is ap- palling The education of the rural population concerning ventilation, tha dangers of oYercrowding cleanliness of person and surroundings the extent of the disease. its means of prevention etc, is one of the most importAHt phases of the work that can be uRASsA taken, as well as the most difficult.
 "The population presents two feat ures of surpassing importance, early diagnosis and adequate supervision. The one hangs upon the other which ever way you take it. early diagnosis, so that adequate supervision may bs possible, and adequate supervision, in order to secure early diagnosis"

FRIEDMANN'S VACCINE
 IS A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Such is the Verdict of Federal Govern

Washington, May 9.-'The first au- thentic and official report of the fed- era1 governments investigation of the Friedmann tuberculosis vaccine made public here today. declares the results of the public health service observa- tions so far do not justify the conf dence in the remedy which has been inspired by widespread publicity.
 The national association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis, before which the report was presented, immediately and unanimously adopted resolutions declaring its belief that mo specific cure for tuberculosis has been discovered that deserves the conf dence of the medical profession and the public" and declaring ii to be the duty or the public to continue ''all the present well tried agencies"
 Although couched in the diplomatic terms of q governmental scientific document, the report on the Friedmann cure expresses the disappointment or the public health service at the con ditions imposed by F'riedmann and says his decIination to furnish com plete information concerning his vac cine was not satisfactory from a sc1- entifc standpoint The public health service however. the report says ac- cepted his conditions because of the great importance to thousands of sui ferers and the hope that cure might he found
