GRATITUDE OF AMERICAN
WOMEN TO DR.. LORENZ.

TIME return of DIR. Lorenz to Vienna
the past week after his errand
mercy to this country was made
the occasion of farewell lunch
con which was given him in New
York by the board of aldermen. A
feature of the reception was the read
ing of q set of resolutions passed by
the board in which fitting and graceful
recognition was made of the work or
the great surgeon, of whom 1t can De
truthfully said he has left sunshine IN
his path. But while DIR. Lorenz was
given tangible assurances of the esteem
in which he is held, the most grateful
recognition of his services will find ex-
preston in the hearts of those mothers
whose manned little ones knew the neal
ing touch of the great surgeon.
Dr. Lorenz has already been fully re-
warded in the happiness he has brought
to those women whose lives were COM
fortress by the knowledge of the suffer-
ings of their afflicted little ones, too
young in years to yet realize the hopeless
ness of their condition.
Thousands of mothers Journeyed to
Cornell University Medical College Dis
pensary, one poor woman taking her
paralyzed little boy to the metropolis
five weeks before the arrival of the great
surgeon.
The visit of DIR. Lorenz TO New York
revealed that in that city alone there are
thirty thousand crippled and deformed
children, and the philanthropists inter-
ested in the great work of the surgeon
recognize that the principal effect of the
visit of DIR. Lorenz has been to call at
tention to the appalling number of de-
formed children 1t has called attention,
too, to the inadequacy of the facilities
for the free treatment of these little suf-
ferers. 1t is said that bill will be pre-
sented at the next session of the New
York legislature, asking for an appropria-
ton to enlarge and increase the facilities
of The New York state hospital for the
care of crippled and deformed children

THE H4FoR'S BUILDING SCHEME.

Mayor Low has made an original contribution
to the new municipal building discussion. In
the simplest terms his suggestion is that the
city should acquire what it does not already
own Of the four small triangles formed by
Centre-st.. DUane-st- and Park Row. and within
those lines put up q structure providing ter
IuiuaI facilities below the surface for the sub
ways and the bridge trolley cars. at the sur
face for the street railroads, above the surface
for the elevated roads and the rest Of the
bridge traffic and containing in its upper stories
Offices for municipal departments which now
rent their quarters 4 conference with repre-
sentatives OF the various transportation inter
ests concerned has convinced him that they
would gladly cooperate with the city to the
extent Of paying suitable price for accom-
Ssodations so furnished; engineers have ap-
parentIy assured him that the scheme involves
no mechanical difficulties which cannot be over
come, and he feels justified in expressing the
opinion that, reckoning In rentals to be saved
'the city could earn at least per cent on the
combined cost OF the land and building"
The Mayor lays special stress on the COM
SinStion OF advantages presented by this plan.
The congestion where the transportation lines
converge is great already, the subway Will soon
contribute its quota. and the trouble win grow
indefinitely with the growth Of the city, II a
method Of dealing with 1t adequately is not
found A new municipal building Is also de-
manded both by economy and convenience and
public sentiment is evidently beginning TO recog-
EiEs that fact Here is a chance, says the
Mayor, 20 meet these two requirements in Il
satisfactory manner at q reasonable cost. The
ciry owns part OF the land, Rnd can acquire
the rest at q comparatively low price. while
the necessities OF the railroad companies will
induce them 70 enter into an arrangement for
dividing the burden with the Taxpayers The
Mayor makes d persuasive argument, and be
yoBd doubt his plan is worthy OF the con-
eiderarion which the Board of EstiSaaGs at once
determined that II should have, The resolution
adopted yesterday commits nobody to the
scheme. 1t is q scheme to which public Of
Hcer or other intelligent citizen ought not to
commit himself abruptly. but 1t is opportuneiy
submitted for both the problems to the solution
Of which IT is addressed are pressing.
The Mayor Is presumably right in his estimate
that K would cost much less TO carry out his
IDEAS than to buy the property between the Hall
Of Records and Broadway and erect Cne or more
.sunicipsI buildings on tllas site But cost is
not the only consideration. His plan seemingly
means deAnste rejection Of the proposition
that the city should acquire the ChnDberS-st.

from q conscientious desire to let nobody escape

share of blame which each individual shall or

the time the cases reach the trial jury; and IN

TENEMENT REFORM HAS COME TO STAY.

TENEMENT REFORM HAS COME TO STAY.
The visit of the friends Of the Tenement
House law to Albany served one extremely Use
full purpose There is no reason to fear any
hostile legislation this season. The measure
favored by Commissioner de Forest has al
ready passed the Senate, and apparently moth
ing else can become law. It is not believed.
indeed, that the Governor would sign any other
bill. 1t may be- therefore that the demonstra-
ton was not imperatively required, so far as
immediate results were concerned. But 1t
gave everybody outside and inside the legislat-
ure notice that there was deep and widespread
public interest In the maintenance of the TeEe-
ment House law in full force and efficiency. 1t
told real estate and building spectators that
tenement house reform had come to stay.
The forces Of retrogression are alert and have
financial incentive to weaken the law at every
opportunity. Year after year they will propose
amendments until the present stringent rules
seem so much a settled institution for the de-
fence of which the whole community will on
the slightest provocation rally that they will
no longer dare to make attacks This demon
stratfon was one of those manifestations Of
public feeling which tend thus to buttress an
institution. 1t must have left an impression on
politicians that sanitary tenements, like New
York parks were among the things about
which people were sensitive 1t will make them
extremely cautious hereafter about listening to
the selfish appeals of those who want to build
cheaper and darker fats than the law allows
and the enlightened portion Of the community
thinks safe. Such an understanding may prove
highly useful if the time comes when Gov
ernor is in Office less firm in his devotion to the
reform than Governor OdeIl.
The builders ought also to see that all the best
sentiment Of the community Is unutterably Op-
posed to lowering the requirements for tene-
ment houses and make up their minds to adapt
themselves to the new conditions. Houses can
be constructed at reasonable proft-even the
small houses in the outlying boroughs-under
the law as amended by the Senate. Under the
existing law, unamended. houses Of this sort
have been built at small profit, and builders
have found the alteration of old rookeries in
conformity to new requirements paid hand
somely. Let them now realize that hundreds
of men and organizations stand ready to defend
the new methods and make up their minds to
move with the procession Of civiliza ton. They
will merely waste time and effort striving for
reaction. They will best serve the community
and themselves by cordially cooperating with
the department to carry out the law.
