Friedrich Loeffler saw the chill

fifty out Of every hundred stricken
with diphtheria choked, and grew
blue, and by and by died. No one
knew what made diphtheria the
Scourge of childhood.
LOeffler set out to learn. He be-

children dying of diphtheria. He
examined the Threats of the dead.
Hundreds he worked over. And
then he found a germ. With

WASHINGTON, July Frank
E Taplin, railroad man who talks
plain, blunt language. told the SEN
ate banking and currency committee
Thursday how he wrung $1,000 900
profit out of the great rail war that
has ragged in America for the last
decade
Most of that profit trickled out
of the pockets of the investing pub
lie. which now has a heavy loss on
the rail stocks.
There was none of the glamour
of Morgan or a Kahn-men who
preceded him in the same witness
chalr-about Taplin. His name is
unfamiliar to the great mass of
Americans, he has no private bank
and no foreign chancellors come to
him for international loans. His
accent is definitely mid-western.

He lives in Cleveland. He wears

freely and he expresses his opinions
OF bankers by saying, They try to
get you in a hole and then pull
the strings; I don't like EN-, because
know how they work"
The gist Of Taplin's testimony
was this.
While j. P. Morgan and the Van
Sweringen brothers on one side and
Otto Kahn and the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad on the other were fighting
for domination of the eastern rail-
roads, Taplin stepped in and seized
control of vital rail link-the
