Tho strict laws governing the sale of pol- sons are not duplicated by any lews regulating the distribution of virulent bacilll, Though there ts a provision of the sanitary code forbidding the sale of disease bacteria without permission of the Board of Health, there aro, dozens of laboratories where the germs of typhold, diphtheria, tubor- culosis, pneumonia, anthrax and other scourges have been procured tn the past by persons whose responsibility has been investigated only in the most cursory mannor, Dr, Waite 1s suspected of having planned to inoculate with deadly com- binations of bacilli those persons who stood between him and the Peck mill- fons, and 1t 1s even assorted that de- velopments may show that he experi- mented with the germs by tnoculatin, his friends with them to see what use the hair to grow long, strong and utiful Advt would happen, Tho fact that he de- cided on arsenic when the time came (Third The Spring A Women’s Tail Sports Suits, all adequs At. 8 en 6 Cs serge 1 lw lt lw serge. « 6 Dressy black gat Au being Shoe I are consta the Women’s them originated by designe pecial interest t Of w wear is the number priced. staple styles wh Silk featuring the mew embroidered effects, iately represented, as well as severely tailored styles. . . . .

Health Department inserted In its {sanitary code a provision governing the sale of disease germs. This pro- | vision, which 18 known as Soctton 120 of the Sanitary Code of tho Depart- ment of Health, prohibits the sale of any preparation containing living] bacteria capable of catising disease,| without the permission of the Board lof Health. Tho code further provides | that the physician, in case a permit] | be granted, must enlighten the Health | Department as to why he wants the bacteria and just how much he 1s to use as one dose. Tho sale of such bacteria without @ permit is a mis- demeanor and punishable by a heavy fine and @ tong term in prison. | ‘This provision, tt will be noted, gov-| erns only the “sale” of disease breed- ing bacilli and was devised to protect! |the public from quack serums of doubtful efficacy. It tn no way re stricts the laboratories in the hos- pitals and in the independent research institutes from providing deadly gern for any one Who can convince t | that he desires the cultures for med- | {foal experiments. | FEDERAL LAW STOPS TRANS- MISSION BY MAIL. cine Dr. J. 8. Ferguson, 330 West! Twenty-eighth Street, of Cornell Medical College, where Dr. Waite procured some of the bacilll | with which he experimented, states | that so far as he knows there is no specific law or ordinance governing the distribution of deadly germs, “IE suppose the general criminal Jaws would cover the tmproper use of | dangerous bacilli," said Dr uson, “but I know of no law to regula their distribution. There is a Federal statute which forbids the shipment of such germs through the mail, but that is the only law of the sort that I can recall. | “Naturally, no ‘hospital or tnde- |pendent laboratory would give deadly germ cultures to a person who did not have credentials of some sort, but it] uld be largely a matter of judg- nent on the part of the person in the boratory to whom the appileation s made. It is doubtful whether the son asking for ultures would ‘be asked to produce a medical di- ploma or other proof of his right to handle the germs of virulent diseases. “Almost every hospital in New York has a laboratory in which cultures of disease germs are prepared. There jare also ag reat many independent in- |stitutions where research work of the same sort is carried on. | Dr. Ferguson agreed that the use of deadly bacilli opened up practically a new field in crime, “It 1 too bad that the accounta of Dr. Watte's experiments had to get into the papers,” he commented, “but undoubtedly the wide interest the case has aroused will reeult in closer scrutiny of persons trying to procure such germs in future.” ORDINANCE NEEDED, SAYS A PASTEUR CHIEF. Dr. George Gibler Rambaud, Prest- dent of the Pasteur Institute, No. 361 West Twenty-third Street, had beon struck by the lack of any law gov- erning the distribution of disease germs, even before the matter was called to his attention by @ reporter for The Evening World. “In reading about the Waite caso to-day,” he sad, “It came to me that there was nothing to prevent any one from procuring virulent disease cul- tures in New York except a sense of responsibility on the part of the per- sons who prepare them. Perhaps there has been no necessity for auch an ordinance in the past. This 1s al- most the first instance where the use of germs in a criminal way has been brought to light, but in view of the Waite case, I am of the opinion that an ordinance governing the distribu- tion of dangerous disease cultures would be @ good thing. “If any one came to me for a cul- ture of that sort I would refuse to give it to him unless I knew him per- sonally. For his own safoty [ would not give him the germs of typhotd, anthrax or any other deadly disease, and there should be some way to prevent such cultures falling into the hands of any but responsible parties.” One of the administrative officals of the Cornell Medical College stated that to the best of his knowledge there was no law in New York or in any other elty which prevented dis- ease cultures from being given to any one who was “properly intro- duced by a medical man “The research laboratories are bound only by the Health Depart- ment regulations,” he said, “and if the applicant for the germs brought a letter from a known physician, I think bis credentials would not be investigated any further.” PRESENT REGULATIONS ADE- QUATE, SAYS COMMISSIONER. Health Commissioner Haven Em- erson is of the opinion thet Nore regulations concerning the 4! lbu- tion of germ cultures are adequate for the protection of the public. “The Department of Health hes ab- ontrol over the sale of living said Dr. Emerson, “but we | thing to say as to the giving cteria to reputable physt- cians for expertmental purposes. “The Sanitary Code is very strict as | to the sael of living bacteria, but Lam jof the opinion that reputable physt- |cians should and must be given great \berty in the handling of bacteria for experimental jbuy in New |taining Hving without firat | leonsultng us. are indeed very rid as to the keeping of this phase of the code “L see no reason why the Depart- | ment of Health should advocate the handling of perinits to physicians who | want to do experimenting.
