SCIENTIST SAYS CAUSES CHRONIC
COPPER POISONING, WHICH
MAY PROVE FATAL.

Berlin, Aug. 2.--Professor Erich
EaFnack, the famous Jena pharmacists,
announces the discovery Of new dis
ease 1t lis sort of chronic copper
poisoning. which may prove fatal. 1t
Is caused by bridge work on the teeth.
Some OF this work. which was examin

gold and~two-thirds Of other metals,

in slow poisoning. nervous collapse
and general decay.
Professor FIarnack warns people
against this inferior alloy, saying that
1t Ii even more dangerous than pure
copper or zinc, because Of its contact
with other metals.

or not depends upon the condition OF
the mouth; some persons. no doubt,
suffer from It.
Yes ! should say that there Is q
certain amount OF risk inseparable
from the use OF copper alleged gold In
bridge work. With filings. it is
different. They are generally 24-karat
practically pure gold.
IT would certainly be possible to
use pure gold in bridge work. but it
would be difficult, and for most per-
sons altogether too costly. Copper Is
used as an alloy that the metal may be
soldered. If ono uses pure gold in
bridge work. not only is the cost OF
the metal great, but the life of the
bridge must be much shorter, for pure
gold Is relatively soft. So 1t would
be most expensive"
Richard ], Forhan. specialist in
pyrorrhea and oral prohylaxis, with
office In the Woolworth building. ex-
pressed the opinion that Professor
Harnack's conclusions were radically
wrong, He said.
We commonly use copper in the
mouth as a gcrmicide and for soft
teeth. especially in children, where
filling is needed. The best dentists so
use copper with no results affecting
the health Of patients inJuriously.
"A mixture OF gold and copper is
not soluble and unless it were soluble
do not see how ii could be harm
ful. ! think the best opinion will be
against Professor Harnack on that
point
Bridge work is often improperly
done, bands are not rightly fitted,
creyices are left in the teeth 1t Is
from such defects as those that per-
sons suffer afterward.
I'm Europe. they are less keen for

their defence.
German headquarters heretofore
had made no reference to this bat
tie. but today, it says that after sew
eral days of battles no fighting was
reported yesterday. Apparently there
has been more figting on the East
Prussian frontier where things had
been quiet for some time, as the Ger
man report says:
Our troops are pursuing the re-
treating enemy in the direction of
Ossowetz."
Ossowetz is the fortress which the
Germans were in gun fire of some
weeks ago, bur left when their ad-
vance on the Niemen failed.

the war, the little villages along the
coast north of Ostend are suffering
severely from shell fire. Lying, as
they do. between the German lines
and tho British warships off the
beach, some of them are reported to
have been completely destroyed and
others badly damaged. 1t is believ-
ed, however, that virtually all the in
habitants of the villages departed
from them when the Belgian army
retired behind the User river.
1t was officially disclosed in a
speech of Lord Crewe, secretary OF
state for India, delivered last Thurs
day, but only made public today that
the India troops in France have not
yet taken part in any of the battles.
The men and their horses required
considerable time to become ac-
climated, but the belief here is that
they will soon be ready to take their
places at the front. The hospitals

Again today, it was reported that

Mrs Carman was on the witness

The defence sprang a surprise when
John M. Levy, her attorney, called her
name and asked her to take the stand.
The court has been adjourning every
day at 4.30 O'clock. The crowd in the
court room had been listening with
little apparent interest to stories told
by witnesses called in an effort to
break down the testimony offered by

STOPS ADJOURNMENT

When 6 o'clock arrived, Democratic
senators who had been fighting for
adjournment. gave up. The House res
olution to adjourn automatically died
and it was moved the Senate go into
executive session.
Majority Leader Underwood then
FASTENED to the House with the an
nouncement that there was no hope
of adjournment Of the session. The
House had then be newaiting some
time without quorum present, and
adjournment until tomorrow was or
dered. Representative Underwood said
later that he did not believe 1t would
be possible to get another quorum to
pass an adjournment resolution until
after the elections.
Before 6 o'clock had arrived, in fact,
scores of representatives and senators
had left town and others took later
trains.
1t was stated, however, that re-
cess plan might be agreed to by mem
bers from the cotton states, with the
understanding that bills calculated to
relieve the cotton states would be
taken up after the election. Senator
Hoke Smith said he might agree 70
such a plan.
Senator Smith and his colleagues fl
mustered all day, but after several
hours yielded long enough for a vote
on the war revenue conference re-
port. which was agreed to by a vote
of IS to H. An effort was then made
to get up the adjournment resolution,
but this was blocked on a motion to
table made by the Senator from Geor-
gia. Immediately point Of no quorum
was made.
In the meanwhile the House was
without quorum and Rep. Underwood
conferred with Senate leaders and pre-
vailed upon them to recess until $50
before attempting to adjourn, because
it was necessary for the House to
have q quorum present so Speaker
Clark might sign the war revenue bill.
The House quorum finally was rounded
up but when the Senate re-convened
at $50 the Southern senators resume /
their thlibuster SO determinedly that
hope Of adjournment was abandoned.
