son, the president of the association, stated
to reporter for The Star today that the
reports were erroneous The surgical asso-
citation, according to DR.. Richardson, does
not consider that 1t has any Jurisdiction

criticism by the association OF the methods
in question. Any adverse criticism Of DIR.
Lorenz which may have been made by
officials or fellows of the association, ac-
cording to DR.. Richardson, was merely the
expression of the personal opinion of the

official utterance of the association.
It was learned, however. that the Lorenz

Congress Adjourns.
CONCLUDING PROGRAM
ELEVEN CONSTITUENT AssoC1A-
TIoNs IN SESSION TODAY.
Smoker and Banquet Tonight - Next
Triennial Session to Be Held
in Washington.

The sixth triennial congress OF American
physicians and surgeons was practically
closed yesterday after one of the busiest
and most successful meetings In the MIS-
tory of the organization. The congress mas
drawn to Washington hundreds OF the pest
known members of the medical profession
from all sections of the world, and for three
days the public at large has been RECALLED
with learned dissertation on diseases OF
the very existence of which greater pro-
portion of the public has heretofore been
dense1y ignorant. The value Of the congress
to the public only comes in an indirect way,
but it's value to physicians cannot be over
sessions say. Meeting here under circum-
stances which give the utmost freedom to
views expressed, physicians and surgeons
the country over have had matters OF vital
interest to them placed before them In an
entirely new light; methods of practice have
been discussed and every man had Oppor-
tunity to express his views and to listen
to those who are recognized as authorities
in all universities and colleges where medf-
cine is taught.
The men who have made life studies OF
certain of the human ills and affections APP
peared before those who only occasionally
have to deal with such OBJECTIONS of the
systems of treatment fully, concisely and
clearly, so that all may try the methods
that have brought to the various speakers
the success and have commanded for them
the respect they now enjoy in the eyes of
their fellows.

The Heat Of Debate.

Statements have appeared that would lead
the uninitiated to believe that the doctors
have had serious disagreements regarding
certain operations systems Of practice,
and that eminent surgeons have been vio-
lently condemned. 1t is stated, however,
and accepted true that all the charges
that were made against certain treatments
were made in the heat of debate by sur
geons who have used directly opposite
methods to reach the same conclusion, and
that one has been almost successful as
another. AT meeting of one Of the con-
stituent bodies of the congress Wednesday
no less than five surgeons spoke of the
successful treatment of a certain ailment
in as many patients, and in every case the
treatment was as different in detail as 1t
could possibly be. Not only this, but each
surgeon expressed his belief Of the great
superiority of his treatment over the others,
and made an excellent argument in favor of
his particular views.
In this way the Congress has brought to-
gether men of widely divergent views on
subjects that appertain to their particular
specialties. and from the multitude new
thoughts are expressed and new ideas are
evolved for the better treatment of such
cases by all physicians in the future.
The meeting of the congress at the Co.
lumbia Theater yesterday afternoon was the
last that will be held until 1907 The mem
bers assembled about 2:45 o'clock and went
into executive session to discuss the bust
ness OF the organization. The matter of
the time for the next meeting provoked
some discussion The Congress has hereto
fore met triennially and nothing has been
allowed to interfere with It's assembling
The International Society of Physicians and
Surgeons meets in 1906 however, and 1t is
not regarded desirable that the congress
shall be in session at the time of that meet
ing, many of the members are members
of the international body and could not
spare the time to attend the two meetings
After 1907 however, the meetings of the
congress will be held triennially as here
tofore. The next congress will be held here
also as this is considered the very best
