Washington, May 2G-President
Wilson stirred Congressional circles,
today, with an emphatic statement de-
nouncing the Industrious" and In
sidious' lobby in Washington attempt
ing to create public sentiment against
certain features of the Underwood tar
if BILL This was accepted at the Can
itol as referring to the unusual ef-
forts being made against free raw
wool and free sugar.
The Presidents declaration that the
lobbyists were so thick that One
couldn't throw brick without hit
ting one" revived interest in two bills
recently introduced in the House and
Senate to regulate lobbying on pend
ing legislation. Senator Kenyon of
Iowa and Rep. c. b. Smith of New
York have declared it their intention
to press for early consideration bills
they have introduced which would re-
strict the work of lobbyists, require
their registration and that they be
licensed to appear before any commit
tee or to carry on a campaign for Oh
against proposed legislation.
The President issued the following
statement:
Il think that the public ought to
know the extraordinary exertlons be
| ing made by the lobby in Washington
tG gain recognition for certain alter
atoms of the tariff bill. Washington
| has seldom seen so numerous, SO m
dustrious or so insidious lobby the
newspapers are being filled with pala
advertisements, calculated not only TO

but also the public opinion of the
| country itself There is every evidence
| that money without limit is being
spent to sustain this lobby and to ere
ate an appearance of pressure oil
| public opinion antagonistic to some OF
! the chief items of the tariff bill
| at is thoroughly worth the while OF
people of this country TO take knowl-
| edge of this matter. Only public opin-
| ion can check and destroy 1t.

A CRUEL FRAUD.
New York Health Officers
Terms tuberculosis Cure.
d. Frledmann's Patients Are
RstaTding Rather Than Gaining.
Thinks the lnnoculailon Should Be
Supervised and Regulated.

New York. May 26.--Dr. Joseph o.
Connell, health officer of the port of
New York, sent a letter, today, to-
Health Commissioner Lederlc, re-
questing him to submit to the board of
health at its next meeting a resolu-
ton prohibiting the administration OF
the friedman treatment for tubercu-
losis in New York, until such time
as those interested affirmatiyely In its
administration shall satisfy the health
department of it's innocuous charac-
ter"
THE reports of the investigator of
your department. reads the letter,
whose peculiar experience with tu-
berculosis gives such reports a rare
compelling force, are all to the effect
that the dangers which might be APP
pretended in such a form of treat
ment are actually present therein.
He finds that the patients subjected
to this treatment have not improved.
but have lost ground to an extent
greater than might be expected from
the natural ravages of the disease.
He finds that where the tubercu-
losis condition had affected one side
prior to incubation with the serum
(sic), there was after such inocula
ton an unnaturally rapid develop
ment of the tu5ercular process on the
hitherto healthy side, which indicates
that the operation of the alleged cure
had a tendency to accelerate rather
than retard the progress of the dis
ease.
ut seems to me that it would b.
culpable for us to longer hesitate and
that our duty now is to insist upon
such a regulation and supervision of
this enterprise as shall prevent the
perpetuation upon the public of dan
|gerous and cruel fraud. We cannot
overlook the fact that this treatment
has been exploited much after the
manner of the exploitation of certain
so-ealled mining securities, and other
financial schemes from which the
credulous. public has suffered.
1.-The wide advertisement of the
serum has had the effect of awaken
ing final and pitiful hope in the
breast of the desperately ill, which
shrewd and constituencies men might
turn into an immense financial profit.
There has been time and opportunity
in plentiful measure extended to DIR.
Friedman and those who propose
similar remedies for tuberculosis to
demonstrate the therapeutic value OF
their treatments, but there has been
no such demonstration of value. On
the other hand, we have before us re-
ports of the gravest character.
