CAMPAIGN STARTS
AGAINST SALVARSAN
Prof. Ehrlich's 500 SPECIFIC
Condemned by Doctor Because
II Contains Arsenic.

Berlin. March IA campaign or dis
paragement has now been started almost
officially IN Germany against Professor
Ehrlich's most famous invention. the
"e0s" drug. also called "salvarsan. In,
attack OIL the famous inventor and SCI
enlist was opened by the action taken by
the Berlin police chief medical ADVISER
DR. Dreuws, who officially reported 10
the Imperial Health Committee on the
dangers with which the free ana uhre-
stricted use Of salvarsan was confronted
He claimed that salvarsan, being
rnixture In which arsenic is used in
dose far superior TO that permitted ny
law could be considered as little less
than a sort of allowed poison, and ac-
cording TO him, that accounted Tor the
fact that 272 cases have been reported 10
him I'm which the patients treated by sal
WARSAW either died or became blind, deaf
or crippled for life. Or. Dreuws, there
fore, urged the Imperial Health Commit
tee TO take legal action and submit TO
the Reichstag a bill either forpiooihs
the use Of salvarsan altogether or only
allowing its use in legal doses. Ii Is I'M
derstood that salvarsan used in legal
doses would 10 longer have the good re-
suits OF salvarsan and would be OF little
use in the treatment OF the diseases In
which Professor Ehrlich specializes.
Discussing the matter with Professor
Enrich, the Tribune correspondent elicit
ed the following reply from the great
German scientist:
THE present attacks are systematic
and spring up at regular intervals. am
accustomed 10 them and would not like TO
make any comment on them or on the
reasons which dictate them. ! only wish
to state this.
About one million cases have been
treated with salvarsan in the last four
wears In Germany France, England ana
the United States. II the treatment has
really failed IN 27e cases. which do not
know for sure, IL seems very small frac-
ton as compared with the figure OF sal
yarsan patients. 1t IS not stated either
~ IN. o72 accidents are really due TO sal
varsan or TO the fact that the patients
were In a hopeless condition before the
cure was administered. ! have always
said that II is dangerous to try salvarsan

erected new church building. In
1888 he was again transferred this
time to Lebanon township, Waupaea
Co., his stay there covering period
of six years, during which time he not
only attended to the spiritual welfare
of the Catholic people OF Northpor6,
Manawa, Weyauwega and of course
Lebanon, but also made numerous inn
provements in the church edifices in
those localities In 1889 he was trans
ferred to New London, Wis, where
he erected the handsome and comm0-
dious church of the Most Precious
| Blood, the cornerstone of which was
laid June "a, 1890, by Rt Rev. Fred
Katzer, bishop of Green Bay, and con-
secrated to the worship of God, Feb

During his administration in New

| fine church in Hortonville, the build
ing of which was commenced in 1893
and dedicated with imposing ceremo-
monies by Rt. Rev. Bishop Messmer,
June Is, 1898.
SIN August, 1894, he was appointed
pastor of ST. Marys church, Wausau
Wis, his present charge which at
that time consisted of about 400 fami
lies. In 1895 Rt. Rev. Bishop Mess
mer made him dean for the counties
of Lincoln, Marathon, Portage and
Wood as far as they were situated
within the limits of the diocese of
Green Bay. He found his new con-
gregation encountered with a heavy
mortgage and paying 6 per cent. in
! terest, which he at once converted in
to bonds bearing only per cent. and
this enabled him to lessen the debts
continually. In 1898 he built the
beautiful home for the school sisters
Great improvements were made in
the school house and new school
rooms opened; pipe organ for the
church was also bought during the
course of this year.
''In 1902 the church was decorated
very beautifully and equipped with
gas and electric light. In 1904 the
present parsonage, large and COM
modious brick building, costing $4,000,
was erected and steamheating plant
for church and school installed and
other improvements made which
raised the Indebtedness again to $780,,
but which was lessened every year I'M
til 1911 when all was liquidated. In
1912 a new pipe organ costing So, $50

Rev. Father Casper was beloved by
his congregation and by all who had
the honor of his acquaintance and his
death has caused great sorrow in this
community.

The citizens of Wausau generally
were shocked to learn on Sunday OF
| the death of Rev. Father Peter l..
Casper, pastor of ST. Mary's Catholic
| church, which occurred in Chicago
on that morning, Sept. 6, 1914, at
| 1890 O'Clock. The sad news was re-
ceived by the congregation in the
church at 10:30 a. m., and was read
by Rev. Father Albert, who was otfi-
ciating at divine services. Father
Casper had been i'll for some time and
finally left for Alexian Bros. hospital
OF Chicago two weeks ago yesterday.
An operation was found necessary
when it was found that the trouble
was of a cancerous nature. The ope-
ration was thought to be successful
and apparently he seemed to be on
the road to recovery when a relapse
followed. Later his case became crit
zeal until death relieved him Of his
sufferings.
The remains reached here last eve
ming on the st. Paul R'y and were
met by the members of the knights
of Columbus, Catholic Knights Of
Wisconsin, the Catholic Order of For
esters, st. Joseph's Aid society and
most of the members of ST. Mary's
church, and were escorted to st.
Mary's church, where they will lie in
state until Wednesday morning, when
solemn requiem high mass will be
celebrated at 9 a. m. by Ri Rev.
Bishop Krautbauer of this diocese
and assistants and be attended by
the local and many visiting clergy
throughout the state. Interment will
take place in ST. Joseph's cemetery.
The following history is taken from
the History of Marathon County, as
written by Judge Louis Marchetti
'Rev. Peter L. Casper was native
of Prussia, born May Is, 1850, in
Schoenecker, Kreis Pruem, Reg. Be-
T'reves. He received his elementary
education in the parochial school of
his native village, afterward learning
the trade of locksmith with his elder
brothers. In 1869 he came to the
Unites States, and for about a year
worked at his trade at Pittsburgh,
Penn, at the end of which time he
entered St. Vincents college, West
moreland county, Penn, where he
commenced studying for the priest
| hood. He remained in that institu-
tion until the year 1878, when he
went to st. Francis Seminary near
Milwaukee, Wis, where he completed
his studies and was ordained priest in
1880, by the late Rt. Rev. Bishop
Heiss. lis first charge was as assist

Few Heds In Baedad.

About 90 per cent of bagdad's pop
ulation possess no beds. These poor
people rest on blankets spread on the
floors of their houses IN the winter
an6 on the roofs In the summer. Owing
to the excessive heat OF these regions
sleep is made impossible elsewhere
than on the roof or in the open gar
dens IL is nm interesting sight to see
how the women at sunset emerge from
their houses to prepare the evening
meal or the roof and spread the bed
ding for the night. Inasmuch as the
climate is very dry, there is little to
fear frcm exposure to the night air.
While considerable number Of the
roofs are surrounded by latticework
to insure a certain amount OF privacy,
by far the larger number are quite ex'
posed to the gaze Of curious and in
onigitiy,s nesghbors.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The school routine was resumed
yesterday morning when every student
in the city returned to his work for
the coming year after vacation of
work and pleasure. AT $50 the high
school assembly room was full besides
the rooms on the lower floor Of the
building which were used for the
freshmen who had entered for the
first time. Principal Ira G. Painter
called the school together, welcoming
all to successful year for each in
diyidual and asking that a good start
be made. Short periods were run dur
ing the day, lasting only twenty
minutes each. Difficulties were of
course encountered by everyone and
things will not be adjusted so that
classes can run smoothly until the
beginning Of next week at least.
Several new teachers are to be seen
around the high school building but
the majority were here last year.
Football enthusiasm was awakened
yesterday when meeting of those
interested in the game was called in
the forenoon. The coach will be Err
vim Tanberg, captain of the Nniver-
sity of Wisconsin eleven and one of
the best football players in the central
west. Mr.. Maynard will assist in the
working up of the team. From APP
pearances a large number of high
school fellows will get out this year
and everyone is determined that
Wausau shall have one of the best
football elevens In the State. 1t was
decided yesterday that a meeting of
the Athletic association of the high
school would be held this afternoon.
The boys are very anxious that games
be secured for the coming season with
some Of the big teams in the state
and not merely with those in the
immediate vicinity. Some contests
should be arranged with Oshkosh,
