Omaha Victim of a rare disease
that be contracted while doing re

an instructor at tho Uni
versity of Nebraska college of medi
cine heie. is gravely ill at the uni
reraity hospital. He formerly lived
In Lincoln.
The disease, granuloma coccidioi

by a fungus, the eoccidioides immi
: with which Bancroft once work-
jn a laboratory
at the Univi rsity
, - i, nt,sv!vania
In April, 1927. Bancroft suffered
an Httack of the disease after having
worked with the highly dangerous
fungus in the Philadelphia labor-
'atory the previous September. His
cs is was one of the few on record
(where recovery was reported.
Al tending physicians said the pres-
ent attack is apparently a recurrence
from a dormant Infection. Bancroft
M Itricken two weeks ago and has
since been an object of attention by
almost the entire hospital staff.
Tl s fungus is commonly found in
tl ' Bs I Joaquin valley of California.
Almost all of the known cases origin
ated there. Bancroft visited this val

he contracted the Infection there. It

the fungus can live well over two
years without entering a body as

OLD TREATY IS INVOKED
Chicago Counsel for John Factor
invoked a ninety year old treaty with
Great Britain in an effort to obtain
his dismissal on a $5,000,000 fraud
charge. Arguments on Britain's re
Iquisition for the removal of the alleg
! ed swindler to London were begun
i before Federal Commissioner Wal
! ker, and it appeared that several
jdays would be required for their com
i pletion.
Dismissal of Factor was demand
ed by G. Gal Gilbert, his attorney,
on ground that the extradition trea
ty of 1S42 held that no man could
be removed unless the fharge on
which he is sought is likewise a
crime in the state where lie is ar
rested. Gilbert argued that it is no
crime under Illinois law to accept
money known to have been fradul
ently obtained by another party.
