Washington, " D.i C, Oct . 4. Since there has been a lull la the cam paign letters from the White House and an announcement b the President "" ne win not repiy to Mr. Bryan s last ' tetter ; inasmucn as it deals mainly in personalities, there s but little of polUcal interest going on in I Waahlngton at present.', -. , V For this time, the International Tu berculosis Congress holds tbe cente of the atage. rt Thursday,:' Secretary of State, Root ntentained three hun dred of the distinguished epeciallstsa at Wlllard's Hotel and the following day a reception was given to the vis itors by the president. V- t The ,: recent announcements from the meetings of the Tuberculosis Con gross are little short ' of sensational The startling claim is made that a serum has been discovered that will scotch this most serious of .diseases known to the human race. Science, It la eald, on ' the verge of. giving to the world a serum thai will maKe mankind Immune , o the ; effects oi tuberculosis. A group of eminent men this week permitted it to be known that the long sought means of immu nization to consumption has - at lasi been found. This proved the most lm portant announcement of the fourth day session of the International Con gress of Physicians. The men who be lleve that this safeguard against tu berculosis may be effected through lm. munlzing the human body just as vaccination does with regard to small pox, are distinguished in their respec tive branches of medicine bekh in this country and abroad. The possibility ot producing freedom from diseases or immunity by the in oculation of living organisms has till how -only been accomplished In a few diseases. In chief small pox. The virus of this disease weakened by passage through the cow can safely be Inocu lated into human beings, reeultlng in protection againt mall pox. The hu- nan race possesses In a varying a- mount a natural : Immunity against tuberculosis. Were It not so the race would long ago have become extinct- Artificial protection,, to tuberculosis baa never yet been achieved, for the human race, but it. is a possibility we believe can be accomplished, inas much as it Is now possible by protec Ave inoculation by living organism of tbe human type to protect cattle from tuberculosis. All conceivable methods of weakening the tubercle bacillus, so that It can be safely Inocu lated for the production of immunity have up to this time failed. Trudeau has shown it posslblo to produce a certain amount ot immunity in gulnea- plxa by the use ot living bacteria. Dead .tubercle bacilli and their pro ducts, known as vaccines and tubercu lins, wben used for Inoculation have failed to produce lasting Immunity, at liough of distinct value in the treat ment ot tuberculosis. Satisfactory im munity to tuberculosis has only been obtained experimentally, by the use oi living bacilli. ; ; U " "V- ' , ' Realizing1 the' hitherto almost fu tile attempts, we were led to the ex -wrlmeuti of attempting the produc- ;Ion of Immunity by increasing mem bers of bacteria by beglnnng with the inoculation ot one living germ.. .Encouraged by these results, gulnea Mgs, Snlmsls very easily- rendered 'lotims of tuberculosis, were Inocula ted In a similar manner with the germ f .tubercle bacillus and Increasing up to thousands, so far none, as proved by post-mortem examinations, has be- "ome victim -ot tuberculosis.

" 1 TIRES' 0F-GRE1T PLAYS i "The Tialtor" Like "The Clusmaa" U a Name Tat Attracts the At. teution of the Playgoer. . . ; " Playwrights generally lay great stress upr.u the title of their plays and it is a well known fact that the lma 3 of eome plays have materially lu Iptu 'their success. Whether or not it waa a superstition the lute Charlee Iiojt i !v,iiya used tue "A"ln all ot THE" l titles. At the- same time ' seciua t0 bt the lucky adjective, The greautu successes it the past twelve moiid s have had sucb titles as "The Thitf",, "The Witching Hour", "The Devil " and for three yeara past "The Clausmaa", haa brokn all , records. The Traitor" is a title that would attract any playgoer to the box-office. No ljk-.y with such a title could fail be Intensely dramatic Naturally a play must live up 'to its title. , "The Traitor" doe more than this for it ta play that would attain the heights success even were it nameless. There is no gain-saying the fact how ever that a telling title helps a great play especially In its early days. The spreading of tbe news ot a play's suc cess in also made easier when the ti tle is one that sticks in the memory. The triumph of "The Traitor" was perhaps to be expected for the millions who have seen "The Clansman" nat- ally are eager to see its dramatic sequel. The permanency of this suc cuss is assured by the remarkable power of the Play. It requires no prophet t0 foresee that "The Traitor" ill like "The Clansman" become one of the classics of the south..

A score or more 01 witnesses added to the scene,- and many of these knew no English, two interpreters being added to (he force to help on the proceedings. - A crowd ed house followed the testimony ae the prosecution brought forth Its wit n esses to show that the defendants, with knife and pistol, attempted aa assault on JoeoRahld, about midnight n Broad street several weeks ago. .Bin for each witness to show for tbe ae sault, the defense had one to prove no attempt With such ' able lawyers, Judge Allen had considerable trouble fo keep them on the case,-and not intrude trial outside matters, nor per tinent, yet of consequence in disturb ing the opposing side. The Interpre ters, one-for each side, were most Important features In the case, ano each was watched closely to see thai no humbug was worked, aa Witnesses testimony came through their inter pretation of the Syrian language. ' To most of those Interested It waa either .'00 much English or too much Sy rian, and the lawyets and Jury had full day. 'The Jury after a abort itay out brought in a verdict of not guilty.
