TRIAL IS UNDER WAY IN DEATHS OF 76 BABIES Three Prominent German Doctors Defendants in Strange Case. S'l 1 nUrd Pretn LUEBECK, Germany, Oct. 23. Testimony continued in court here today in one of the most tragic cases in modern medical history involving the death of seventy-sis babies and the indictment of three prominent medical men on charges of manslaughter and criminal negligence. The defendants are: Dr. Ernst Altstaedt. chief of Luebeck’s board of health who nanci tioned feeding the famous Calmette preparation (named after the French bacteriologist) to several hundred Luebeck children to immunize them against tuberculosis, Seventy-six babies died, because, it is alleged, health authorities inadvertently mixed the Calmette preparation with normal tuberculosis cultures. Professor Max Glotz, head physician of the children’s hospital where many of the victims were treated. Professor Georg Deycke, director of the Luebeck municipal hospital. Anna Schuetze, a nurse, was the first witness called today. She denied the Calmette cultures could be confused with the normal and highly dangerous tuberculosis cultures which also were produced in the board of health laboratory. Other witnesses testified that labels sometimes slipped off the cultures and that they might have been put back on the wrong containers. Luebeck parents were thrown into panic and tenor for months after the first of the babies died. The death toll rose gradually, and then mounted steadily until seven-ty-six children were dead. Os the 100 given the culture, no-

body could tell which would be stricken and which spared. It has not yet been established definitely how many surviving children suffered impairment of health or still are struggling against the effects of the infection. Several months ago the state of Lueback attempted to settle with parents of the dead children by offering payment of 300 marks a child with the agreement that the parents would forego recourse to the courts. The offer only heightened popular anger. CLUB TO PRESENT PLAY “School Daze,” a comedy, will be /presented by the To Wa Si dramatic club of Lawrence M.

BREACH WIDENS BETWEEN SMITH AND ROOSEVELT Former Governor Attacks Successor’s Plan for Reforestation. /?;/ T'nitcrt Prmn NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—The split between Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt and former Governor Alfred E. Smith had widened perceptibly today, with Smith's attack on the reforestation amendment backed by Roosevelt. While Smith has denied his attack on the reforestation amendment is to be construed as against Governor Roosevelt, it is felt that the two nevertheless are drawing. farther apart. The attack is the more significant because Smith’s differences with Tammany hall appeared to have been settled, while Roosevelt has been drifting away from the wigwam. And Roosevelt is to speak for the amendment over the radio Monday. Smith dealt at length with the plan to plant trees on idle farm land, the state to cut and sell the lumber, in a statement issued Thursday. “With the state facing an enormous deficit in its revenues, this certainly is not the time to experiment with $19,000,000 of the people’s money by placing that burden upon them by constitutional law,” he said. “The legislature has all the power in the world to vote money for this or any other purpose in connection ; with the annual budget and has to meet the cost by taxation,” he said. “Who ever heard in this or any other state of a constitutional mandate to force successive legislatures to put a certain amount of money in each year’s budget for dhe j specific purpose?” he asked.
