Befors the BLOWS STRUCK AT Lawyer and Physician Exchangs ~ Punches in Senate committee ' Washington, June 5.—Herman A. Mets, of New Yark, and Dr. George ‘Walker, of Johns Hopkins Univer- sity, Baltimore, engaged in a. short but heatéed fight in the senate patents. committee rooin yesterday afternoon, Blows were exchanged between the two men before William Richardson, secretary to Senator Ollie James, in- tervened. J The trouble arose during a hearing on the advisabllity of the United States government abrogating certain German patents of medicines used in this country, including salvarsan. Dr. Walker, representing the Coun- cil of (National -Defense, and other prominent physicians had - appeared before the committee strangly urging abrogation of the German patents as & “war measure” and one of vital im- portance to the country. Mr. Metz, representing the German patentees in the United States, fol- lowed Dr. Walker, and was vooifergus in his appeal against the proposed ab- rogation. ‘In the course of his argu- ment he began gesturing rather vigorously, and at one time advanced near Dr. Walker's chair. Whether by accident or design, one of theé ges- tures with clenched fists landed on Dr. Walker. The physician jumped up and replied with a vigorous blow that sent Mr. Metz reeling backward against the wall, where he fell to the floor. ., He immediately jumped up, and to all pearances he and Dr. ‘Walker were about to engage in a finish fight, when Mr. Richardson caught Mr. Métz and dthers restrained Dr. Walker. The fight ended. Apologies followed.. .\. - - .The argument bsnn\mon after the hearing opened in'the afternoon. Dr. ‘Walker and other well known phy- siclans ‘had testified, that Salvarsen, which costs only thifty to thirty-five cents a dose, was being sald, owing to the fact that Germany controlled the suppl: . .They.said the price placed the rem- edy entirely out of reach of the poor man and in addition was 50 scarce as to be far short of absolute require- ments. They said the remedy could be manufactured properly and cheap- 1y in this country if the patent rights were obtained. The patents committee has Peceived wide appeal from the leading phys!- clans of the country to abrogate Sal- varsan patents. Senator James, chair- man of the committee, recently took the question up with the attorney general. - The department of justice apparently thought it unwise ‘to set a precedent of absolute abrog:‘ion of foreign owned or controlled atents, but framed some substitute 1-gisla- tion which is to be made a part of the “trading with the enemy' act now being discussed in the hous-~ juc ciary committee. 7 7 According .to the legislation pro- posed by the department, tiis gov- ernment would not abrogate German death of his elder brother, the Duke of Clarence, made the present king the heir .to his father, the Prince of ‘Wales, later Edward VII., George was .destined for a naval ‘career, ‘and he spent many years learning the work and’duties of a naval officer. For this reason and because the .American 1 controlled medicines and see that the product spld for no more in' this country. . Then in addition the gov- ernment would -assume the right to direct manufacture of the medicines, agreeing to pay the German patentees what was considered a fair recom- pense for use of the patent rights dur- ing the war. These is strong agita: tion, however, to take over entirely the patent right on salvarsan- owing to the fact that it is considered of tremendous importance with thou- sands of troops in the field. It is so scarce now that many of the bigger cities in the country have been stripped of their supply and smaller cities are unable to get the remedyoat all.

Everywhere the first rush of men was very heavy. In New Haven the headquarters staff adopted the ex- ‘Pedient of ' shifting registrars to the Points where they were most needed during rush hours asin residential districts the streams of applicants were steady and the work could be handled easily while in' the down town ‘districts working men responded ir such number that the regular force was overwhelmed for a time. , 'Th® evening registratiofr is expected to be heavy and it seemed likely tlat al] the figures will not be reported to the governor before noon tomorrow. Inquiry in various directions’indi- cated that few snarls arose over tre answering of questions. There was one which was brought out by the re- cent state military censis. Connecti- cut stood alone in this respect. In the taking of the militars census’many men either through care- lessness, lack of actual knowledge or as a joke gave their ages incorrectly. Many who said they were 20 and 21 put dawn their age as 21 which actu- ally they were under that figure. TLey reecived a card from the state notify- ing them to register today. But the federal lJaw does not want them to do do if they are not 21. Men in thirtiés held back their age figures in the military census and upon reoceiv- ing a card they were in a quandary as to appearing today or not. Some to be certain appeared at the voting places and explained that they had previofisly made an error. Others stayed away and took the precaution of obtaining from their town clerk a certificate of their birth in event of being called up to prove their in- eligibllity on age grounds. _AVLEGED SPY ARRAIGNED.
