SUCCESS IS SEEN INLEPROSY FIGHT Surgeon General Says Re- search in Treating Disease Getting Good Results. By the Associateg Press. Hope that léprosy may be eradicated from the United States through in- creased knowledge of chaulmoogra oil therapy &nd_further research into the way in which the disease is trAnsmit- ted was expressed today by Surg. Gen. Cumming of the Public Health Service. Among the latest ingredients to be ccmbined with the oil in experimenta- tion is iodine, he said, citing a new re- port on the work being carried on under the supervision of Dr. N. E. Wayson at the leprosy investigation station of the Public Health Service in Kalihi, Hawaii. At the same time, Dr. Cumming an- nounced that three more former suf- ferers from leprosy are to be released this week from the Leprosarium at Car- ville, La. This brings the total of cases arrested in eight years to 48, he said, and amonz them only one hiX been readmitted for treatment. “The disease is gradually being con- quered,” he declcred. Pointing out that children have been born at Carville of parents afflicted with the disease and have been pre- vented from contracting it, he ob- served that exposure through associa- tion appearéd to be the most important factor in transmission. One new theory is that it is contracted through the respiratory tract. Extensive studies going forward in Louisiana and Hawaii include work with groups of patients and many ex- periments with rats. Besides the addi- tion of jodine to chaulmoogra oil, cod liver oil administered separately is being tried out and one group of patients is being subjected to minor induced fever to speed up body processes. The latter attempt was tried after it was found that with local inflammation following injections of the oils the primary dis- ease appeared to subside.

SHARPE T0 DIRECT CHEST PUBLICITY 1930 Charity Campaign Plans Take Shape as Peparations for Drive Are Pushed. C. Melvin_Sharpe of the Washington Railway & Electric Co. again will head the publicity committee for the 1930 Community Chest campaign, John Poole, campaign chairman, announced. With this post filled and Merritt O. Chance accepting the chairmanship of the Metropolitan unit, the campaign organization for 1930 is beginning to take definite form. “We want to get every leader and worker who took part in the 1929 cam- paign,” Mr. Poole said. “An increased number of organizations for which to provide, coupled with the need for in- creased budgets for some of our present organizations, means that Washington must give even more generously than it did last year, both in size and number of its contributions. ‘“We hope, with our workers of last yedr as a nucleus, to build up the greatest and most efficient campaign organization ever gathered together in ‘Washington, and to put over this year's campaign with the same speed and uversubstrlpuon that marked our 1929 drive.” ASKS $25,000 DAMAGES.

THE EVENING S§TAR, WASHINGTO MADRID THRILLED BY YANKEE SLAYING TWO BULLS IN DEBU Carried by Sash on Horn of Beast, Sydney Franklin Recovers Feet in Skill- ful Triumph. By the Associated Press. MADRID, July 26—Madrid bull fighting fans have a better opinion of Yankee toreadors today. In their own words Sydney Franklin, Brooklyn' bull fighter, is “que hombre” (“what a man!”). Franklin yesterday, making his debut in & Madrid bull ring, with Premier Primo de Rivera, his twp daughters and other notables looking on, dispatched two beasts in a skilliful manner, al- though barely escaping a dangerous goring by one animal. The fans, num- bering 13,000, many of whom had come out of curiosity to see just what sort of a matador a “Yanqui” might make, gave Franklin an ovation after each bull, The Brooklyn man rebuffed their ef- forts to carry him from the ring when he had killed his second animal with the plea he was tired and bruised and needed to rest. On Ground Three Times. In the course of the afternoon Frank- lin was on the ground three times, once with the first beast, a spotted black bull, and twice with the second one. The last time was a close call, the bull's lunging horns catching in his sash and throwing him face down on the sand. The cavort- ing brindle then dragged him a full 30 feet while the audience gasped and groaned. The general impression was the bull had his horn in Franklin's body and was dragging him to his death. Diverted by Others. Other cape men diverted the bull’s attention, and the great animal shook his head from the sash and started toward them. Franklin arose, rubbed the dirt from his eyes and limped to where an assistant proffered a wet towel. He rinsed his face and hands, and taking up his sword again resumed th; combat, killing the buli in short order. Franklin dedicated the first of his bulls to a group of American tourists, | throwing his cloak to the box of his countrymen in accordance with the custom of the arena. Six bulls and two horses were killed on yesterday's program, two other matadors besides Franklin each dis- patching two bulls. One of the news- paper critics wrote today: “Franklin fought as though born in Bp.ln, the othen fought as t.ho\uh born in Chi- cago.” Seeks Divorce in Cruelty Plea. Mrs. Byrdie L.
