Speaks In Complimentary Terms of
the Work That is Being Done lu
New York to Stamp Out the Great
White' Plague -Leads His Own
Country in the Strictness of the
Measures : Adopted Commends
Forcible Isolation -Of Consumptives.
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, Sept. 30 That the
city of New York leads the world in
the fight of the municipalities against
tuberculosis was the declaration matte
by Dr. Robert Koch, the renowned
tuberculosis specialist today at the
international tuberculosis congress.'
Admitting that the city led his own
country in the strictness of the meas
ures it had adopted, the discoverer of
the tubercule baccllus paid a high
tribute to the work that is being done
there by the municipal medical au
thorities and especially Dr. Herman
Biggs, the general medlefrr-of fleer of
the department of healtn. :
v'Prof. Koch's complimentary Te-.
marks followed a paper by Dr. Biggs,
showing what measures were being
taken in New York in making re
moval compulsory in cases where it
was deemed necessary to prevent con
tagion of persons living hi the Mime
houses or rooms, - was given - high
praises by Dr.: Koch, who said he
wished such a rule could be adopted
in his native country. .
"I wish to express my admiration
for the work that the city of New
York is doing to stamp out tubercu
losis," he said. "Especially do I
wish to compliment the city authori
ties on their forcible removal of tu
berculosis cases from homes. The
organization which they have there
and which Dr. Biggs has so well de
scribed to you, is unequalled, I be
lieve, in the world. Such measures,
though I do not think should he ex
ercised In many instances. But I
have found from talking with New
York medical of fleers that in many
instances it Is not necessary to re
move the patient because the threat
of removal caused them to adopt the
necessary sanitary . arrangements.
That, after all, is one of the things
which as much as anything else, Is
to wipe out the disease.
"I hope the time will come In the
not far distant future when the fine
example of the city of New York can
be adopted in my country, especially
regarding compulsory registration
and forcible removal."
The entire quota of sections were
in full blast this morning, while the
corridors of the exhibition rooms
were filled with delegates and visi
tors, .-.('

Farman could not begin before J: 38.
As this was oivly a few minutes be

yards, the aeroplane flew In a tri
angle, the sides of which measured
three kilometres, covering the dis

distance of more than 20 miles, which
was traversed in 40 minutes. Wilbur

will Increase the payment to the roads
for carrying mall.
A committee composed of Guy
Adams, J. F. Lindsay, H. E. Mack,
and u. o. Mnusay, supervisors oi
mails for the Rock Island, Santa Fe,
Wabash, and Missouri, Pacific: rail-)
roods has submitted to Postmaster -
General Meyer, a list of grievances,
with arguments for Increased c.om-
pensntlon. Members ot the commit -
tee who have Just returned from
Washington said thoy had a satisfac
tory Interview with Mr. Meyer, and
they believe some changes will be
made,
The principal contention Is that
contracts for handling, the mall
should be made each year, Instead of
every four years, because in many
cases, especially on the wostern
roads, the amount of mall carried
has Increased from 100 to 200 per
cent. In a four-year period.
