PATERSON, N. j.. May 26.-There
was no break in the ranks of the
$4,000 silk strikers today. despite the
predictions of the manufacturers that
the long labor war had been won by
them.
Although thousands of pickets We're
thrown around the big mills, the
heroic measures of big BIZ Hay

were needless. Only few small
groups here and there attempted to
slip back to work.
In brush between the police and
pickets at one mill thirty-two ar
rests were made. Among the prison
ers were fifteen women. Two, ~ho

the world, was held In $4,000 bail for
the grand jury today. He was
charged with having carried concealed
weapons. He was caught while loi-
tering in the vicinity of the Weld

to have been a loaded revolver and a
club.
For the first time since the police
closed Turn and Helvetia halls
against them, the strikers met with

yards of the house at 81 Ellison

effort to break up the meeting

NEW YORK, May 26.-Dr Joseph
J. O'Connell. health officer of the port
of New York. sent letter today to
Health Commissioner Lederle re-
questing him to submit to the Board
of Health at its next meeting reso-
luton prohibiting the administration
of the Friedman treatment for tu-
berculosis in New York until such
time as those interested affirmativeiy
in its administration shall satisfy the
health department of its innocuous

your department" reads the letter,
whose peculiar experience with tu-
berculosis gives his reports a COM
pelling force, are all to the effect that
the dangers which might be appre-
hended in such a form of treatment
are actually present therein. He finds
that the patients subjected to this
treatment have not improved but
have lost ground to an extent great
er than might be expected from the
natural ravages of the disease
HE finds that where the tubercu-
losis condition had affected one side

stion an unnaturally rapid develop
ment of the tubercular process on
the hitherto healthy side, which In
dicates that, the operation OF the al
legged cure had tendency to accel-
crate rather than retard the progress
of the disease
euInable for us to longer hesitate.
and that our duty now is to insist
upon such a regulation and super
vision OF this enterprise as shall pre-
vent the perpetration upon the pub
lie of a dangerous and cruel fraud.
we cannot overlook the fact that
this treatment has been exploited
much after the manner of the ex-
Dloitation of certain so-called min
ing securities and other financial
schemes from which the credulous
public has suffered.
"The wide advertisement of the
serum has had an effect of awaken
ing a final and pitiful hope IN the
breasts of the desperately ill. which
sl1rewd and conscienceless men might
turn into an immense financial profit
There has been time and opportunity
in plentiful measure extended to Dr.
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
reports of the gravest character.

TRANSFERS PLOT
CHARGE DISMISSED
Judge Suggests Colby Tell
Prosecutor "Beat-Up" Tale
Against Jaeger.

The charge of conspiracy against
Henry A. Jaeger, a truckman, in
which he was alleged to have hired
two men to beat George A. Colby,
head of the local teamsters' union,
was dismissed today by Judge Hahn
in the First Criminal Court But the
court instructed counsel for Colby If
he believed that conspiracy existed
he should take the matter before the
prosecutor.
Three separate complaints were
made on a charge of conspiracy
against Jaeger, William Austin. of
New York, and William Kunz, a
deputy sheriff. employed by the Cos
grove Detective Agency.
Henry Carless. representing the
complainant. withdrew the complaint
against Kunz, and then placed him
upon the witness stand. After warn
ing Kunz that anything he might say
could be used against him. he was
asked to tell of a conversation be-
tween himself, Austin and Jaeger.
He said:
.On May 12 I was standing at the
corner of Lafayette and Liberty
streets when Mr.. Jaeger drove up in
his automobile. He asked me what
was doing and when | told him
that l was working for the Cosgrove
agency he said that he would give
$50 to have Colby beaten up. because
he believed he was having all of his
drivers beaten. Austin said IN take
the job
On redirect examination he said
that the money was to have been
paid when the newspapers published
a story of Colby being beaten. and it
was brought out through counsel that
a false report had been given to the
telling of Colby being
assaulted.
Austin, who was paroied for his
today. was not in court,
and in view of the fact that there
was no corroborative evidence Judge
Hahn dismissed the complaint, and in
doing so he said:
I'm dismissing this complaint the
court desires to state that the offense
charged is a very serious one. and il
you addressing MIR, Carliss) think
that conspiracy exists | think you
should take the case before the prose-
cutor of the pleas"
Charles M. Mason, representing Mr..
Jaeger. stated to the court that he
believed the charges were made to
Offset a similar charge which he had
presented to the grand jury, implicat-

HE'S A HERO, But
NOT A GOOD SHOT
Comrades Peculiar Tribute to
Fireman cavanaugh, Brave

Fireman Thomas F. Cavanaugh. of
No. 2 Hook and Ladder Company, is
hero. real and unmistakable hero.
And the f1remen in the company are
giving him a celebration-in their own
secular fashion. His comrades
rounded up the Juvenile denizens of
Bruce street and vicinity to the num-
her of three or four dozen and sta
toned them at the windows and
doors of the engine-house, where they
cry out youthful but lusty tributes to
the hero,
Meanwhile the hero is making fran
tic and Intellectual efforts to dispense
the boys with cups of water and a

hero, Cavanaugh is an atrocious shot
with sponge.
Last night Motorman James Healy
was driving South Orange car when,
between Fifteenth and Sixteenth
streets, he shifted his running to high
speed. The sudden change resulted
In a short-crcuiting of the control
Ter box and Healy was hurled out of
the side door to the pavement The
front platform was Immediately en-
veloped in flames and the passengers
became panic stricken, many attempt
ing to leap, from the car
Fireman Cavanaugh, who was on
-ra running board, quickly ran to
the back of the car and pulled the
trolley pole from the feed wire, there
by shutting off the power and the
fire. Assisted by the eooler-headed
of the men passengers, he quieted the
women and children and prevented
many from leaping from the car to
certain injury. After the car stopped,
cavanaugh and the conductor ran
back to the motorman, and assisted
him to the car. Although cut badly
on the knee and bruised, he ran the
car to Bergen street, where an in
spector took charge of 1t.
And thus it happens that, although
used to putting out conf1agrations,
Fireman Cavanaugh is having con-
siderable difficulty in dampening
down the enthusiasm of his youth

'|NS|D|OUS LOBBY
FIGHTING TO KILL
TARIFF MEASURE
Wilson Warns Nation of War
of Special interests Upon
Bill.

WASHINGTON. May 26.-President
Wilson told the White House CORES
pondents today that he believed the
most extraordinary lobby ever gath
cred by special interests to overcome
legislation was now mustered at the
capitol against the tariff bill.
The President said he had no
doubt that few so-called lobbyists
were there on legitimate errands, but
that the great majority were occu-
pied In a systematic misrepresenta-
tion of facts. While the President
believes that the lobby opposition Is
concentrated against free sugar and
free wool, he is not apprehensive that
1t will be successful.
The Presidents Belief.
The President made 1t clear that he
believed scientific business methods
and efficiency would overcome tariff
cuts, and that with the application of
scientific methods Louisiana would
not only be able to continue in the
sugar industry but do so profitably.
The President later issued the fol-
lowing statement:
II think that the public ought to
know the extraordinary exertions
being made by the lobby in Wash
ington to gain recognition for certain
alterations of the tariff bill Wash
ington has seldom seen so numerous,
so Industrious or so insidious lobby.
The newspapers are being filed with
paid advertisements calculated to
mislead the judgment of public men
not only, 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 create an appear
ance of a pressure of public opinion
antagonistic to some of the chief
items of the tariff bill.
Asks Nation to Awake.
''It is of serious interest to the
country that the people at large
should have no lobby and be voices
less in these matters. while great
bodies of astute men seek to create
an artificial opinion and to overcome
the interests of the public for their
private profit It is thoroughly worth
while of the people of this country
to take knowledge of this. matter.
Only public opinion can check and
destroy it.
"The government in all its branches
ought to be relieved from this intoler-
able burden and this constant inter-
ruption to the calm progress of de-
bate. know that in this | am speak
ing for the members of the houses,
who would rejoice as much as I would
to be released from this unbearable
situation"
