A newspaper correspondent view lted and interrogated numerous pa- tients who had been treated for tuberculosis, including pulmonary throat trouble and glandular and knee bone tuberculosis. These pa- tients all asserted that they had been cured after one to three in- Sections of the serum. Several of these cases of bone tuberculosis were of long standing, which show- ed scars where once there had been running sores, which healed up in a few weeks. In‘two of these cas- es amputation had failed to cure. In the course of the investigation the correspondent visited a poor working family, whose child had not walked in four months, owing to tuberculosis of the knee, and 9.1- so of the lungs. The child receiv- ed an injection of the serum seven weeks ago, and is now able to run and dance. Another case was that of a young man whom amputation of a limb had failed to cure. The doctors declared that amputation of the leg at the hip was necessary, W PRICES Of Film PRflDUBlS "PORT! FROM TH! LEADING TRIO. GINTRE‘ OF AMERIDA.

The correspondent also talked withrthe father of two' children, both of Whom had been suffering from bone tuberculosis. One was cured by Dr. Friedman in six weeks. The other has been under treatment by one of Berlin’s most famous specialists for seven months. The specialist has now asked Dr. Friedman to take the case. Numerous physicians and tuber- culosis specialists are on the way to Berlin from Australia, the United States, South America, and other countries to study and in- vestigate the new discovery. Au- stralia is said to be sending a Gov- ernment commissioner. English physicians are already here. Dr. Friedman is so deluged with letters and pathetic pleas for treat- ment and by telegraphic and cable requests from physicians for the serum, and offers to buy the rights, that for the moment his work has almost stopped. Dr. Friedman will not distribute the serum until he is properly protected in the principal countries, but will per- sonally treat cases hero. He will open an institute in Berlin next week. Up to the present he has treated about 1,100 cases. .....____â€"'Isâ€"â€"â€"..__. MINER BECOMES INSANE. IIe Suddenly Attacks Tim Fellow- Workman. A despatch from South Porcupine says: A Frenchâ€"Canadian suddenly went crazy in the Dome bunk-house on Wednesday afternoon and at- tacked two Austrian miners with a knife and an iron bar.

A despatch from London says: The Servians. ignoring the procla- mation of Albanian independence, have occupied the port of Durazzo without resistance. This informa- tion comes in a direct despatch from that town on Thursday night. No resistance was offered to the entry of the Servian troops. “We have now occupied Durazzo for perpetuity,’ ’ .is the telegram which General Jankovitch, the Ser- vmn commander, has sent to the Belgrade Government. The fact that the Belgrade Gov- ernment has made public this tele- gram, says the Vienna correspon- dent of The Daily Telegraph. is re- garded as proving Servxa’e irrecon- cilable attitude. _Budapest papers assert that Berâ€" v1a is mobilizing against Austria, and intends to form a new army, armed with the weapons captured from the Turks. War-like Feeling in Vienna. ' A despatch from Vienna says: Much excitement has been occasion- ed by the action of the Government in arranging for the mobilization of the Austrian army, which proves the Ministers’ determination to be fully prepared for any development in the Balkan crisis. The Pam-lie~ mentary leaders met on Thursday night and decided to allow the Premier’s three bills dealing with matters connected with the mobil- ization to go to committee without the customary first reading. Turkish Force Captured. ‘ A despatch from Sofit says: Two entire divisions of Turkish reserves surrendered on Friday to the Bul- garian troops near the village of Narhamli, between the port of DH deabhach and Demotica, according to an announcement made by thd' oflicial news agency here. A very fierce fight between the Turks an Bulgarians preceded the capitula1 tion of the two divisions of Turkish reserves. The Turkish force was commanded by Yador Pasha. Two Generals, 252 Turkish officers and 8,879 men surrendered. The loot captured by the Bulgarians includ- ed eight mountain guns, two ma- chine guns, 1,000 horses and large quantities of munitions. The Turk- ish prisoners have been sent to Demotios. Peace in «Sight. A despatch from London says: The signature of the protocol of the armistice between the Balkan al- lies and Turkey, which was expect- ed on Sunday, has been postponed until Tuesday, as the Greek dele- gate has not yet received the nec- essary authority from his Govern- ment. It is rumored that in addition to the Bulgarian troops just landed at Dedeaghstche another large force of Greek troops from Salonika is at sea, and it is suggested that Greece may delay signing the armistice in order to enable these troops to ar- rive at their destination, which is supposed to be the Gulf of Same is Gallipoli. , It is understood that the armis- tice will extend for about a. fort- night, if necessary, and cover the whole field of operations. The dif- ficulty with respect to the beleagu- ered garrisons of Adrianople and Scutari is being surmounted by permitting them to receive daily rations during the armistice.

Henry. One Causing a Serious Wound A dospmh from London, Eng- land, says: Sir Edward Richard Henry, Chief Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police, was shot. and seriously wounded on Wednesday night by a man who had an alleged grievance against him. Sir Edward was alighting from a motor-car at his residence in Ken- sington on his return from Scot- land Yard, when the man rushed from the opposite side of the street and shot at him three times with a revolver. One bullet entered the left grbln, inflicting a dangerous wound; the others missed their mark. The Commissioner’s chauf- feur, who is an expoliceman, grap- pled with the assailant and over- powered him. It turned out that the man, whose name is Bowel, had a month ago applied at Scotland, Yard for a tancab license, which was refused. Subsequently he wrote to the Commissioner. plead- ing for a reconsideration, but with- out cvail. For this reason he, nursed a grudge against Sir Edn ward and lay in wait for him.
