Medical Congress Important Surgical
Demonstrations by Baltimore Doctor.
Gen. A. W. Greedy of the Signal Service,
DR.. Howard Atwood Kelly, professor OF
gynecology in Johns Hopkins University
and gynecologist Of the Johns
Hopkins Hospital George F. Baer, presi-
dent OF the Reading Railway, and Gus
Zimmerman, the rife shot, were passengers
on the Hamburg American liner Moltke,
which arrived yesterday from Bremen.
Gen. Greedy has been attending the
international conference on wireless teleg-
raphy in Berlin. He said eight nations
we're represented, each contributing ex-
perts from the army, the navy and civil
life He couldn't talk with propriety
about the results of the conference until
after the publication of his report. which
he had submitted TO the Government.
He was gratitied with his reception in
Germany The Spanish army officers had
treated him with particular courtesy, being
the first to call on the American officers.
DR.. Kelly has poor opinion Of the hotel
accommodations of Madrid, where he at
tended, as the chief American surgeon, the
International Medical Congress. He and
his colleagues were treated handsomely,
however, while they were guests Of the
Spanish physicians at their homes. The
hotels, or. as the doctor put it. lodging
houses. were bought up by spectators
while the congress was in session. Every
physician had to deposit ten days board
before he could get accommodations. If
L. npl, Il k6. - 81
with extras, was deducted from his deposit
and il was returned to him.
The hall in which the congress met was
remote from the meeting places of the
several groups Of delegates and was badly
managed. The acoustics were poor and no
effort was made to stop the tramping of
folks across the floor. The result was that
most of the important papers were not read
in the hall. Prof Wilhelm Waldeyer of
Berlin had an audience of only twent y-one
persons to listen to his essay, and DR.. Kelly
decided not to read his on the "Relat ions CT
Gynecology to the Diseases of Women"
DR.. Kelly was invited by the French SUR
geons to visit Paris. He speaks French
fiuently, and at the request Of the French
medical fraternity he delivered clinical lee t.
ures on gynecology in five Paris hospitals
II is said that he Is the first American who
has done this since the days of DR.. j. Marion
Sims.
In Edinburgh DR.. Kelly performed,
before students and physicians. at the
Royal lnfirmary, successful operations for
the removal Of the uterus and for stone in
the kidney.
Mr.. Baer said he had been out Of touch
with the world for month or 80 while
spending vacation with his family at
Homburg.
Gus Zimmerman, who has been touring
Germany with fifty members OF the New
York Independent Sohiitzenbund, bring
back thrt y-three gold medals he won in
