DR. FRIEDMANN LAUDED BY FRIENDS) <~ /—OF DEAD PATIENT Prof. Ontranders Ce Case Beyond Hope When Treatment Was Administered. ‘TOOK FORLORN CHANCE U. S. Expert Declares Only Miracle Could Have Snatched Man From Grave. * The death of Prof. Frederick Ostran- der after he had been treated by Dr. Friedmann, the German bacteriolagist, with the new turtle tuberculosis cul- tures was not in any way charged against the Berlin specialist to-day by the physicians of the United States Pub- ie Health and Marine Hospital Service, the @uthorities at Bellevue Hospital, where Prof. Ostrander was treated, or by the relatives of the dead man. Prof. Ostrander had been a teacher of modern languages in the University of Texas. He had been living at No. 614 West One Hundred and Twenty-second street. Prof. Ostrander was very low when he was treated,” said Dr. Stimagn of the Marine Hospital, who had witnessed the operation. “I told Dr. Friedmann after he had made the injections that I very much relieved that the man , had not died on the operating table, It Not possible for anything short of & miracle to save him and not even the st eceptical of Dr, Friedmann's crit- fea would require him to perform a miracle.” CASE PRONOUNCED HOPELESS | FORE TREATMENT. | ‘The clinical chart of Prof. Ostrander's condition at the time of the operation showed that he was suffering from long Standing attacks of tuberculosis on lungs, kidneys and liver. One of his| Kidneys had been removed; the wound} hed not healed and the disease had feached the other kidney. The Federal officials warned Dr. Friedmann that the gave was hopeless when they proposed {t to him, but he accepted the patient, ae he bas all of those proposed by the Government. Although Dr. Atkinson of Marionette, ‘Wle., was turned away from Bellevue by Superintendent Miller of the Tuber- culosis Division, after making a trip from his home under great diMoulties, on the ground that he was not a resi- dent of New York, Prof. Ostrander, dying, was admitted at the request of Dr. George Stewart of the Bellevue visiting staff. Harry Ayres, the friend with whom Prof, Ostrander was staying in this cl eall to-day: “We all knew that he had but a few wheks to live at the most. We felt that for him to take the treatment was a comfort in his last days, and that is all. He had the consumptive's usual fighting bravery and he was gratified in his vain desire to have a last grasp at life. That was all, His death in no way reflects upon the usefulness of the Friedmann treatment. It proves nothing for or against it. PROPESSOR’S DEATH PROBABLY HASTENED BY JOURNEY. Prof. Ostrander will be buried from his brother's home at Cold Spring, N. ¥., to-day. Dr. George O'Hanlon, the superintend- | ent of Bellevue Hospital, agreed with the other ph: in thelr estimat of the hopelessness of Prof. Ostrande: condition at the time when the Fried- mann treatment was administered. Dr, O’Hanton said that it might well be that the strain of exertion in going to and frem the hospital for the operation had death. sms passed on him by Dr. Lawrence F. Flick of the Henry Phipps Institute in Philadelphia, and the Ohio State Bourd of Health, Dr, Friedmann said to-day that the results of, bis treatments must be his answer and by them he would stand. He had planned no clinics for to-day, he sald, and intended to get as much rest as he could, Dr. Friedman's annoyance over” re- ports of Western fake doctors, particu- larly in Colorado, who are advertising that the secret of the Friedmann cul- tures have been imparted to them for thelr practice, was greatly increased to raphed statements from reached him that quacks were coining money by the use of his name. He asked the newspapers to spread the assurance that no one in this country, except the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital bacterio- Jogiats, had any of his cultures, not even ‘excepting his assistants, Drs, Sturm and Jienjamin. Physicians who sold or used aaything purporting to be his prepara- tion, he said, were swindlers and might ve polsoners, —— HELD FOR STEALING AUTO. Fo Jersey Lads Took Disastrou Joy Ride.

The girls of my acquaintance who have fallen have “Too much is being said at the More good would be accomplished if the consequences could be described and impressed upon those who are liable to take the wrong path,” continues the letter from which I have quoted. MORALITY BASED ON FEAR DOUBTFUL. I doubt if a morality based on fear 1s any more moral than the minimum mo- rallty which we aro told would result from paying everybody a wage of $12 & week. But in a community which cares only for “results” this may be a © quibble, and {2 preaching the es of sin will do any good, 1 sup- pose it ought to be preached harder than ever. Only there {s something In every one of us which prompts the thought that, whateve> may happen to other persons, we are in some mysteri+ ous way exempt from all consequences, even death Itself, Moreover, if we preach certain things as inevitable consequences of sin we are stating what we know to be false and what. the young creatures we seek to im- press will very soon find out to be false, Fire and brimstone don't scare anybody any more, and I really doubt if since the beginning of the world a single sin has gone unsinned through the fear of eter- nal punishment, ‘The only morality that will stand all tests is that which Is not based on the hope of reward —which may be and often is disappointed—or the fear of punisn> ments which may never materialize— but {# that whioh {s practised solely for {ts own sake. The adult human being who !s good merely because he or she 1s afraid to be otherwise 1s morally on a par with the boy who refrains from going in ewimming through fear of « “Ilcking.” When the boy gets wiser he realizes that there are a great many chances that his swim will never be found out, and a great many ways of circumventing the promised “licking"’ even if the discovery is made, and he acquires a very material contempt for the authority he is able to evade or to dety, It 1s a singular fact that the only human beings generally held to be together sinless were the only human beings entirely devold of morals—Adain and Eve.

To-day men sometimes come courting for something else and girls should know it, but I fear many of them do sumpect the intention and yet take ch: eset Many think it is “smart” to appear and not be thought prudish and unsophisti- cated. They do not realize the pro- tection there ts in est _charm—modesty. ‘There is a protection in the arrhor of chastity that all should under- stand. In the play “She Stoops to Conquer” the attitude of the average man, even of our own day, ts well eet forth in the following line “I believe the girl has virtue, and if she has I should be the last man in the world that would attempt to corrupt it.” I am confident that the low ware is not an tmpelling force to drive right-minded girls to wrong-doing, and though it is to be deplored that every git cannot be paid a living wage, I am opposed to the minimum wage plan. Business policy, political economy, and Nature's progressive system from @ nucleus all show academic objections to it. I only want, how- ever, to take up the practical side of the question. The minimum wage might too easily come to be a uniform wage or @ universal wage which would kill the incentive of competition. Com- petition is the spur to endeavor, as well as the check to cupidity. ‘The abandonment of a wage be- low a proposed minimum rate would throw out of employment those who are promising beginners, and who could accept the smaller payment for atime. This class constitute a large field, Including thore living at home and are willing workers eager to ac- cept first positions at the low rate. R.A. M. HOW TO BE CONTENTED ON $8 A WEEK.

Jennie May Eaton, and the memory of her step-father, Rear-Admiral Joseph G. Baton, with whose murder the widow le charged, was examined at length be- fore the Grand Jury to-day. The girl, who is sixteen years old, and the younger of the two daughters by Mre. Eaton's earlier marriage, was the sec- ond witness called to<day, and she was stih being questioned when the jury took ‘& receas nearly two hours later. In the public airing of the femfy quarrels of the Batons since the sud- den death of the Admiral from potson- ing, the mother and the elder of the daughters, Mra, June Keyes, have in- sted that the naval officer had shown signs of insanity. Dorothy has de- scribed him as not only sane, but as an affectionate ‘husband and father, At the same time she had nothing unkind to may of her mother. The only other witness during the morning session was Ralph P. Keyes, hueband of June Keyes. His examina- tion, begun yesterday, wes concluded in @ tow moments. At the opening of the afternoon ses- sion Miss Ainsworth resumed her tes- timony. Mrs, June Keyes will be the next witness. District-Attorney Barker expected to conclude to-day the presentation to the clude to-day the presentation to the Grand Jury of the evidence on which the Government seeks the indictment of Mrs, Baton on the charge of murdering her husband, “It is unlikely that the deliberations will have to be continued to-morrow,” Mr. Barker said. It te possible that two indictments may be returned in the case, the re- port that 4 second woman is involved in the poisoning still being rife. The District-Attorney, questioned on this matter, would not commit himself. Other witnewses to be heard to-day were Prof. William F, Whitney of the Harvard Medical School, who reported to the District-Attorney that arsenic was found in the Admiral’e stomach; Dr. Joseph Frame, who attended Ad- miral Maton during his last illness; Medical miner Osgood, who made the aulebe ind State Officer Scott and Deputy Sheriff Condon, who have done the seeee part of the police work in the pee waa @ long conference between Mr. Barker and Prof. Whitney at the District-Attorney's office before the inquiry was resumed, been quoted as saying that Mre.
