INFLUENZA CURES
:BY SERUM CLAIMED
Treatment by Bnton Like That
: Used to Immunize Ferrets
in Tests.

ny the Associated Press
LONDON, August two cures OF
f1fiuenal pneumonia by serum samnaf
30 that for immuni.ing ferrets against
"fiu" were claimed today by DR.. Ronald
Hare, a London investigator.
In telling how he treated two women,
one of whom was dying, Dr. Hare sac
ssboth cases reacted in q very dramauc
fashion" and recovered.
The serum was prepared from human
beings conyalescing from influenza.
Recent announcements that ferrets
could be infected with the "hu" virus
were considered highly important be-
cause OF the possibility that the germ
could be isolated and an antidote be
found for humans
DR. Hare reported IN the Lancet,
British medical Journal. that his first
case. a woman of 27, was in q grave
condition.
After two injections Of serum four
hours apart, he said, she began to I'M.
prove and slept well at night. A tnlro
injection was made the following Gay,
and, despite tendency to have tenn.
peratures of 100 degrees, the patient
continued to improve. Thereafter her
recovery was steady.
In the second case also. DR.. Hare
said. there was uninterrupted recovery
and a difficulty in breathing and
pain in the chest disappeared within
four hours after an injection.
DR.. Hare added that further cases
were unavailable. so additional expert
nsents and investigation are desirable. .
The Lancet listed as discoverers OF
tie reaction on ferrets three doctors
Wilson Smith, C. H. Andrews and p. F.
Iaidlaw. Previously the inability to
ffnd an animal susceptible to flu in
lection hindered experiments.

COAL STRIKE PEACE
Phone Talk With Johnson
Observation-Disclosures
Mink Strikers Appeal.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG,


HYDE PARK. N. Y, August 4-One
Of the principal matters which engaged
the attention of President Roosevelt
today at his Summer White House here
is the Pennsylvania coal strike, which
he seemed hopeful soon would be set
tied satisfactorily.
The Presidents optimism is based
upon telephone conversations last night
and today with Gen. Hugh s. Johnson
recovery administrator, who has been
laboring during the past few days for
q settlement.
U. 8. Action Waits Code.
It has been pointed out here that
there is nothing the Federal Govern
ment could do about this coal industry
threat to the national recovery pro-
gram until the coal industry itself had
been brought under a satisfactory code
OF series of codes Of fair competition.
When that has been done the Govern
ment will have power to enforce its Or
ders through the licensing clause in
the recovery act.
The Importance of peace in the coal
industry to the general success Of the
recovery program is appreciated by the
President and for that reason he is
giving SO much personal attention to
settlement.
Mr. Roosevelt also has received an
appeal from the Empire Dairy Mems
Protective Association for aid in the
milk strike in New York State. Many
thousands of farmers have entered this
strike in the Presidents own State, and
in their appeal the President Is urged
to supersede the State authorities in
bringing about q settlement. 1t is
claimed that the striking farmers have
not been accorded sympathetic con-
sideration by the State Milk Control
Board. No comment was forthcoming
at the Summer White House as to the
Presidents feelings on the subject.
Hull Visit Awaited.
Much interest centers here In the
approaching visit at Krum Elbow Of
Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, who
will give a first-hand report to the
President on the London Economic
Conference and will discuss the forth
coming Pan-American Conference to
be held in Montevideo. Uruguay. Sec
retary Hull Is expected to reach Hyde
Park Saturday night or Sunday morn
ing. 1t is understood he will spend at
least a day with the President.
Because Of its bearing upon plans
Of the Roosevelt administration for
trade reciprocity in Pan-America this
conference in Montevideo next Decem-
Der is deemed to be Of great significance
to the United States
President Roosevelt stuck close to
his desk here today. Another storm
last night brought cool weather today.

the President has experienced since

Moley declined to say what part he

He said he intended to visit the Jus

talk with J. B. Keenan,, Assistant At

with the crime situation. Moley said
his reports would be made to Attorney

1t could be placed on the ordinary truck

1t is designed. Main told Turney, pri-
marily for fast express freight trans
portation and while on the tracks one
truck can poll load Of 80 tons at q
speed Of approximately 20 miles an
hour. The maximum speed, with q
much lighter load, is about IS miles an
hour. Trailers can be attached to the
truck.
Main showed Turney his invention as
a possible solution to the railroads per-
picking problem Of competing success
fully with trucks in the transportation
Of freight. The inventor said it could
be designed also for use in passenger
transportation
The idea would be employed by rail-
roads as filler in their regular freight
service where door-to-door delivery OF
light goods is especially desired.
