Death of Doctor Charged
To Anti-infiuenza Serum
Widow of Throat Specialist sues
for S250,0O0 Says Prep
arafiOn Was Faulty


Attribut3ng the death Of her hpe-
band, DIR. William King Rogers, throat
specialist, to incubation with an Is
fuenza preventative, Mrs. Theodore y
Rogers, of Columbus, Ohio, fled suit
in the Supreme Court yesterday against
the H. K Milford Company, Of Phila-
delphia, for $3.50, 900 damages.
Mrs. Rogers said that in February,
1920, during an influenza epidemic, her
husband, who expected to be brought
into contact with many such cases, de
cided TO have him self inoculated. The
incubation, she alleged, was done by
DR.. Thomas W. Wissnger, of Colurf-
bus, who had received the serum fro =
g DR.. Sherman, Of Pittsburgh, who is
alleged TO have bought it from the
H. K. Milford Company, its allegea
manufacturer.
Twice within ten days, said the
widow Of DIR. Rogers, her husband sub
jected himself to incubation with the
anti-infuenza preparation. Mrs. Ros
ers said her husband was in perfect
health before undergoing the treatne'
but that soon after his arm began -
swell. He became Ill and was
moved TO a hospital in Colum--s.
where he died February p. 1920
Mrs. Rogers alleged that the desta
Of her husband was due to the inocu-
lation u TN the preparation of the de
fendant, who, she said, was negligene
and careless in preparing it and that
instead Of being sterile it contained
living germs.

Harding Wants Foreign
Loans Spent in q. S.
Cabinet Discusses Problem of
How TO Relieve Near Stagna
ton of e. S. Exports
From The Tribune's Washington Burea

From The 1'71b0ne's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 20.-If Ameri-
can money is to be lent to foreigners,
that money should be spent in the
United States. Thus, in the ouinion of
the President and his Cabinet in dis
cussing the question to-day the pur-
chases of goods for export would aid
in the relief of the present near stag
nation Of exports.
NO definite program of bringing
about the desired situation was worked
out, it was said, and it was not even
decided just how lar the government
could go in inducing American bank
ing interests, in making foreign loans,
to place such restrictions upon them.
After the Cabinet meeting the fol-
lowing statement, in the wording of
whlcw it is known considerable care
was employed, was made:
The Cabinet discussed the problem
of favoring exports and the desirable
ity of the application of the proceeds
OF foreign loans made in our own finan-
cial markets for the purpose of ex-
porting our commodities and the re-
funding of outstanding liabilities
This view of the Administration was
regarded as of extreme interest in
view Of the probability that the French
and Belgian governm ents would be de-
string to sell German reparations
bonds to American investors. II this
policy is adhered to steps will be taken
by this government which will permit
the sale of such bonds in this country
only to balance, or in payment for,
American goods, unless, of course, the
proceeds are used to refund the debts
already due here.
But the purpose manifested by the
Cabinet to-day would prevent, for ex-
ample, the sale of these German bonds
IN this country if the money obtained
Tor them were to be spent in France
or any other country than the United
States.
