ROME. Dec. 5 (New Tork World Ca
blegram Ppeclal Telegram. ) Aa soon as
Cardinal Del Val took over from Cardinal
Mo-?nnl the administration of the Vatican
flnancea he aet to work to disentangle the
rather complicated mass of the book
keeping department. Thla dlacloaed an ab
aolutely appalling atate of thing. It aeema
that Iho late pope, at leaat during the last
ten or twelve yeara of hla pontificate, lived
one might aay. from hand to mouth. Blnce
thn loaa sustained by the Vatican admlnls
tratlon of about t&.OuO.OOO ander the regjme
of Mnr. Folchl, and. atill later, after sev

private apartmenta. Pope Leo grew diffi

Peter's pence he refused to turn over to
the regular administration of the church
because he considered them aafer In hla
own custody, and he found hiding places
for all theae offeripgs In the nooka and
corner of hla own apartment. Thua It la
explained how. after, hla death, nearly
I3.con.ano In money and securities waa
found hidden In the many cupboards of
hlr private rooma.
Cardinal Moeenni had to appeal peraon
ally to Pope Leo for the money necessary
for current expenses whenever the Income
from the Invented capital waa not sufficient
to meet the daily outlay of the Vatican.
From time to time, whenever an oppor
tunlty offered or a truated messenger like
Del Val waa available. Pope Io used to
aend large aums for Investment In foreign
hanks, especially In London, but of late
yeara even this practice waa discontinued
Millions Have Dlaappeared.
The' consequences of thla policy ara Just
now terlnnlng to appear and It la a prob
lem for Cardinal Del Val. to discover how
savtral millions of franca have disappeared
On explanation Is that the late pope
often lent money to needy prelates ana
csrfllnnls and to a few foreign prince and
UlhitTJe'sdvrrtTmrn, besides granting
loans to several noble families or Rome
which, owlnK to the loss of the temporal
tower and their oontlnued faithfulness to
the old order of thing, round themselves
on the brink of bankruptcy. Two of these
families ere' the .ancient onea of the
Borgheae and Maaelmo, th Utter of which
waa enabled to keep up Its famoua state
carriage '. nd an appearance and atyle only
through the generosity of rius IX and the
late rope. The Borgheae family also had
lost all of Its property through mistaken
Investments In Roman real estate and waa
compelled recently to Bell to the city Ha
magnificent palace and th famoua villa
on tha walla of Rome.
' Pope Leo always hoped that some time
or other these 'and other ancient families
whim he waa helping financially would re
trleve their lost possessions, If In no other
way through some fortunate marriage, and
many are the efforta he made to bring
about auch alliances with young men and
women of rich foreign Catholic families.
Only In the caae of young Borgheae did ha
succeed; for him he obtained the hand of
the richest helreaa of Genoa and recovered
for the Vatican the money advanced to
the desperate head of the family. But
uen waa not the caae with othera who bor
rowed from the pope without giving any
security, several of whom, when recently
brought to task by Cardinal Del Val, had
to admit their Inability to return the
money.

request, five died. Dti V .-reatment,
which waa carried out v rdance with
Marmoreck's minutest vtructlons, the
serum apparently aggravated rather than
alleviated the symptoms of the disease.
'nder Its use two of the acven patients
uffered complications of their disease. One
who had not had pulmonary tuberculosis
developed It. The other who had It devel
oped tuberculous of the larynx, too. Each
Injection of the serum Increased the pa
tient's fever, thus causing deepening reac-
lon and also doubled hla expectoration.
The serum apparently did not benefit tu
berculosis lesions, and even caused new
lesions to appear. It seemingly had no
nourishing qualities, for under Its use the
sufferers rapidly became emaciated, al-
hough additional food was given to them.
Dl Kulafoy said that, in view of these re
nin, he waa forced to ask Marmoreck to
discontinue the treatment. Dr. A. le Dentu,
chief of the Hospital Necker, and Dr. Hal-
opeau, chief of the Hospital. St. Louis, also
stated that they had employed the serum
to tuberculoids with no good reaults.
On the other hand, Dr. Charles Monad of
the Hospital St. Antotn told the academy
he believed ten of hla tuberculosis patients
had been benefited by the scrum.
Dr. Marmoreck received the World oorre-
apondent today. "There can be not the
sllghteat question of the good faith of any
of my confereea," said the doctor. "But
It is due to myself to say that my serum
has not yet had a fair chance to prove its
value. It has been experimented with only
sixteen months. From among Dr. Dl Eula
foy'a patients I purposely chose the most
desperate caaea where all hope of cure had
been abandoned. With them it waa merely
the question If amelioration of their condi
tion was possible, and they were not In
stances by which to measure the future of
my aerum." '
At the correspondent's request Dr. Mar
moreck proceeded to differentiate betwen
his method of treating tuberculoala and
that of Dr. Koch. "Koch took a certain
poison, tuberculin, and applied it to the
human body, with resulting reaction and
fever." aald the earnest physician. "I take
another poison, a new one, not tuberculin,
and first inject It Into a horse. I so obtain
a new antidote, a serum which when in
Jncted Into the human body causes great
benefit in tuberculoala, without reaction or
fever.
For example, the second son , of the
prince of Pleas, yeara old. was given .up
aa lost from consumption, but my serum
cured htm. and he Is now making a pleasure
trtn in EsvDt. In many cases I have
effected remarkable curea," Marmoreck
concluded: "But my position la extremely
delicate; I cannot exploit my successes, for
I have given my discovery and formula to
humanity. Poaalbly I was wrong to have
selected Such desperate casea at tha start,
but I waa actuated by the higheat profes
sional motives. However. I believe the
serura'a wonderful properties will ba fully

Churchill, the brilliant member of Parlia
ment and son of Mrs. George Cornwallls
West, Is said to be contemplating another
trip to America, thla time to look around
for a rich American wife.
It 1 necessary for him to marry money,'
a every one knows, and his mother has
long been anxloua to see him settled down
with an American girl. But young
Churchill doea not like Americana, except
a small circle of thosa who have lived In
Europe most of their lives. He Is too
self-oentered to learn to pay the small at
tentions American women are accustomed
to at home. On New Tork bell who waa
visiting in London and who went In .to
dinner on his arm declared afterward that
he never said a word to her during the
whole dinner. When he returned to Eng
land three year ago after hla financially
unsuccessful lecturing tour he ia reported
to have said to hla manager, Major Pond:
"Have you only third rat people la
America T I have met no one whom J
cared to know."
Mr. Churchill finds that It takea a great
deal of money to be In Parliament and
maintain the Independent position he haa
assumed, which accepts no party favor,
while he ha a separate establishment to
keep up sine his mother' second mar
riage. He thus consider it wise to enroll
himself among tha admirers of tht Amer
