The sheriffs accepted the statemnU
of Rogers as authentic Rogers said he
had agreed to meet Lopes again to
day. He said the. fugitive had declar
ed he would die' fighting.
"I know they have me cornered In
this mine," Lopes Is quoted by Rogers
as telling him Thursday. "This Is my
grave. I've made up my mind to that.
I am not going to commit suicide.
am going to wait here for the end and
I shall fight whenever I have to.

Special to 'Gazette-News:
Thomasvllle, Dec. 13. Of the sev
eral hundred children at the Baptist
orphanage here who were Inoculated
for tuberculosis by the von Ruck
treatment, two years ago, but one has
since died, and he was killed in a
runaway accident, according to a
statement made yesterday by Dr. C. A
Julian.' i-.'-x J"
Dr. Julian was asked what he had
to say , In answer to the charges
against the antl-vlvlsectlon - congress
In Washington when it was stated
that, he, as orphanage physician, had
allowed Dr. von Ruck to . use the
children In the institution for experi
mental purposes.
"The man," said Dr. Julian, "wno,
for scientific or any other purposes,
would take an Innocent, helpless child
and experiment on it with anything,
drug, serum or what not, of whose
effects he was uncertain,. Is no whit
better than the- man who would stab
you In the dark."
There have, been 893 children Inoc
ulated at the orphanage, 262 by Dr
von Ruck, . and subsequently '. Ill
others, by Dr, Julian. Beside these
Dr. Julian has given the treatment
private practice, one oi iubiu m"'b
the son of the-general manager or
the orphanage, who, by the way, gain
ed .14 pounds within a few months.
Among the children at the orphanage
there has not been a sore arm, not so
much as an abscess resulting from
the needle puncture. Dr. von Ruck
visited the orphanage in October, 1911
and, except for the case of the boy
killed In the accident mentioned above
everv child he treated Is still in ex
cellent health. All were tuberculous,
of tubercular parentage, or had been
exDosed to Infection. ,
In retard to the charge of experi
mental! on human beings, Dr. Julian
Dolnted out that the treatment used
la the results of Zl years or incessant
exnerimentatlon - on the part or ur,
von Ruck. He began with animals,
and this was what enraged the anti-
vlvlsectlonlsts. He worked along the
same general lines, that is to say, on
the same principles, that nave pro
duced Bmallpox vaccine, dlpththerla
anti-toxin, and the substance used in
vaccinating against typhoid.
The anti-vivlsectlonsts have at
tempted to make It appear, said the
physician, that It Is the practice to In
ject virulent bacilli into the human
system. As a matter of fact after the
cultures are made, the bacilli are sub
jected to heat to kill them; to make
assurance doubly sure, they are then
tested for life, and If any remain liv
ing the heat Is applied again; arter it
has been ascertained that they are all
dead, they are ground between agate
stone for twelve months, and at the
end of the year, as a final precaution,
another test for life Is made; the
emulsion Is then strained through a
norcelain filter, and certain salts add
ed, before the substance Is ready for
usej This differs from Kocns treat
ment mainly In that Koch used the
whole bacillus, merely destroying life
by the application of heat
AD NO EPERIMENT
The fact that one of the first pa
tients to whom Dr. von Ruck admlnls
tered the treatment was his own grand
child Is pretty good evidence, said Dr,
Julian, that he does not believe It dan
gerqus. As a matter ot fact biological
teats the only ones possiDie to appiy
Indicate that the Immunity persists
after six years.
"I have hod the privilege," said Dr.
Julian, "of being associated from an
early period with Dr. von Ruck In the
practical application of vaccination
asalrist tuberculosis, after he had
solved the problem by years of pre
ceding Investigation. After becoming
acquainted with ' these investigations
and having become convinced of the
safety of the method, I arranged with
Dr. von Ruck for the application in
a series of children at the orphan
age. The results observed by me In
this first series of vaccinations were
soeatlsfsctory that I undertook the
vaccination of another series of 111
and I proved to myself tht value and
efficiency of this method.
'The children at the orphanage
show marked Improvement with bet
ter appetite and assimilation. There
occurred a corresponding Increase In
weight, the children grew brighter,
more active and Interested, and have
shown an appearance of growth and
development In all respects. I surely
dq not think it Just a coincidence that
the general health condition at the
orphanuge has so strikingly changed
for the better-"
Florence, Italy, Deo. 18.-The au
thenticity of the "Mona Lisa" found
yesterday In possession of Vlncenzo
Perugia, was confirmed by experts af
ter further examination today. The
picture bears the seals of the Louvre
and other galleries In which It has

utmost indignation at his treatment
by the police, declaring It unjust af

nagation he had demonstrated out of
patriotic sentiment
