PAINTED At LORBNZ CLINIC
PHYSICIANS AFFECTED By THE
UNUSUAL FORCE USED.

Another Is Barely Saved from Keeling
Over-A Vivid ImpresstOn-ChtId's Hip
Seemed as an Anvil aud the Surgeons
Hands the Hammer and Tongues.


Hands the Hammer and Tongues.
Boston, Dec. 23.-During the first OPP
Grafton OF DR.. Lorenz, the noted Vienna
surgeon and specialist in congenital dis
location of the hip, at the children's
hospital in this city to-day several ply
sicians We're plainly affected. This
was caused by the unusual force EN-
ployed by DR.. Lorenz in breaking down
the abductOr muscles and i'll stretch
ing other muscles and the capsule. This
made such an impression on q physi-
clan of middle age that the company
saw the unusual spectacle of physi-
clan fainting in the operating room. A
second physician was saved from keel
ing over by the entrance Of fresh air.
The work was done without instru
ments, DR.. Lorenz using simply his
powerful hands and employing the
weight of his body, but the impression
was almost as vivid as though the
child's hip had been an anvil and the
surgeons hands the hammer and tongs.
DR.. LorenZ failed of complete sue
cess in one of the operations but the
subject, boy, was beyond the age
limit set by the surgeon for perfectly
satisfactory results. The lad was un-
der the hands of the Austrian expert
for twenty-five minutes. Then the doc
tor decided that II would be useless to
operate further. He had succeeded,
however, in placing the crippled limb
in a position which, the doctors who
witnessed the proceedings, said would
materially help the patient. DR.. Lorenz
expressed the opinion that if he could
have the lad under surveillance for a
month or two he could make COM
plete success Of the case. The boy was
nine and one-half years old.
In two other cases this morning the
doctor was completely successful. The
subjects were girls, one three and one
half years old and the other seven. The
first operation took three minutes and
the other five minutes.
At noon DIR. LorenZ met about 300
physicians and surgeons, besides sew
eral distinguished citizens of Boston at
an informal luncheon at the New AL
gonquin club.

steamer Caracas will noe be permitted
to enter Puerto Cabello. She will be
obliged to land the remainder of her
cargo at Willemsad, Curacao.
Caracas, Dec. 23.-Lieutenant Com
mander Diehl endeavored at o'clock
this afternoon to obtain from the COM
manders Of the foreign warships at La
Guaira an extension of few hours in
the time given the steamer Caracas to
remain at her dock in order that she
might finish unloading. His request
to this end was refused and he did not
insist. The commanders of the block
aiding warships explained that they
We're acting on orders of the British ad-
miral and that the orders given to per-
init the Caracas to discharge more than
the mail had been given to satisfy Com
mander Diehl. The Caracas must con-
sequently leave her berth at La Guaira
at o'clock tonight. She will at that
time have landed not more than two
thirds of her cargo. Tomorrow the
steamer will cruise before La Guaira,
and take on passengers and mail, but
on no account is she to enter the port
Mr.. Boulton Of Boulton & Co., has en-
tered protest against the action taken
with regard to the Caracas with the
American consul and the American
minister here. The Caracas will not
touch at Peurto Cabello. The steamship
Merida will not go to Maracaibo. The
action of the allies in regard to the
Caracas is unanimously disappointing
here.
The Caracas entered La Guaira at s
o'clock this morning. Her commander
was notified that she could enter un-
der certain restrictions. One of these
was that she must leave the harbor ev-
cry night. The italian cruiser Giovanni
Bausan was in charge of the blockade.
