Ehrlich's 900" Declared
Menace to Health; Germans
Start Crusade Against 1t

BERLIN, March 23.--Snce Profess
sor Ehrlich's famous cure was first
made public In the year 1910 there
have not been waiting numerous OPP
ponents who assert that the harmful
after effects of salvarsan more than
counteracts it's by no means certain
healing powers.
In Germany this opposition has now
reached the point of demanding that
the use of the drug should be for
hidden by the state. This is made in
report presented to the imperial
office of health by the Berlin police
surgeon, DR.. Dreuer, In which in re-
gard to the serious danger to life and
health and in the public interest of
the country he demands that "the
use of Ehrlichhata SOC should be for
hidden, or at least it's application in
doses greater than the miximum ofii-
cial dose of arsenic.
IN medical literature" he says,
there are records of 275 deaths fol-
lowing the use of salvarsan, IN ad-
dition to many cases of blindness,
paralysis and deafness. These re-
suits are not surprising, since sal
varsan is an arsenic preparation ten
times as strong as the usual maxi
mum dose of arsenic. The effects of
arsenic vary in each individual case.
After the application of salvarsan Sc
rious symptoms, in some cases even
death, have been recorded after an
interval of between three and seven
teen hours. Even were the cures ef-
fected more frequent and more last
ing than they are, the use of so dan
gerous a drug should be severely re-
stricted 4"

GET $1,519,OOO
States Congressman Fight for
Its Measure of Rivers and

IFrom "A star Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Uncle
Sans treasury was depleted to the
tune of more than a million dollars
for New Jerseys benefit in the pas
sage of the rivers and harbors bill in
the House on Saturday afternoon.
Here are a few of the items for New
Jerseys Waterways
For the Passaic river at Newark,

1910, 900; for the Rarltan river, 1884 900:
for Matawan river, $4,000; for Shoal

for Raritan bay, $4,000; for Morris
river, $50, 000 for Perth Amboy, $o,OVo
CONGRESSMAN Thomas j. Scully, VINO
is a member of the committee on rlV-
ers and harbors, anticipated a nght
over the appropriations and notliieo
the members of the New Jersey dele
CATION to be on hand. Congressman
Townsend Mccoy, Eagan and Walsh
were grouped about and helped IN
passing the appropriations. IL was
no easy matter, for the Republican
side of the House had its filibusterlng
SQUAD on the job, headed by "Hampy"
Moore and backed up by Representa-
tive Frear, of Wisconsin.
Representative Townsend Went
after the filibusters when they tried
10 show that the appropriation for the
r sssaic river was not urgently
needed. The man from Montclair I'M
loaded a lot of figures, showing the
commerce of the river leading TO
Newark. and was followed by Repre-
sentative Mccoy, who asserted that
the amount asked for was modest
one. considering the returns given TO
Newark by the traffic of the Passalc
river.
Representative Scully was aroused
when Mr., Frear started to make run
of the Matawan river, declaring tnat
If used to be a creek, but now that
money was wanted to dredge IT, the
waterway was dignified by the name
of river. Mr.. Scully produced a tape
of figures showing the Industries ue-
pending and built up by making TINS
river navigable, which silenced the
fllibusters. 49,,
Another whack was taken at the
New Jersey appropriations by Repre-
sentative Stafford, of Wisconsin III
was then that Representative Town
send showed that the man from WIS
consin had obtained an appropriation
for two creeks in his own STATE
wear ago, and the sum paid out OF the
limited States treasury was greater
than the combined industries on those
creeks. Then the man from Wlscons,
ain subsidized. The fight was drasseu
along until time for adjournment pul
fl1e New Jersey delegation got It's APP
preparations over, despite the efforts
to prevent them.
