0RTHOPEDIC EXPERTS
DISCUSS LORENZ METHODS

Members of the American Orthopedic
Association who scott at DR.. Lorenz and
his bloodless surgery failed to make an
attack on the Austrian surgeon in the
meeting of that association at the Ar

tion of congenital dislocation of the hip
was suggested by several speakers, hut
in the face of the praise showered on
the Austrian surgeon none Of his oppo-
nents dared to voice the harsh criticism
which has been uttered privately by
members Of the association.
i believe that DR.. Lorenz's method sor
operation on the congenital hip disloca-
ticns of children from three to six years
old is the correct one" was the state
ment of DR.. z. H. Bradford, of Boston,
who assisted DR.. Lorenz in operations,
and is familiar with his methods
Advocates Cutting Muscles.
Dr. Bradford has made a special study
of the muscles and tendons which offer
resistance to the reduction of hip disloca-
lions, and suggested that in cases where
the operation cannot be performed with
out exerting great force TO pull the leg
into place, it would be better TO cut the
muscles. Dr. Lorenz does not approve
Of such a course.
DR.. Gwilym c. Davis made a plea for
radical modification of the-zLorenz
methods. He said the Austrian surgeon
endangers the life OF his patients by
methods which may be called bloodless,
but are more severe than treatment
with the knife.
THE forceful methods have been &C
companied by severe traumatism

1T is best to attempt reposition by the
gradual and careful manipulation ad-
vised by Paci, aided. if necessary. by
the subcutaneous division of the abduc-

Sixteen Successful Operations.
DR.. H. Augustus Wilson, of PhiladeI-
phia. made a report on eight cases of
congenital dislocation operated on by
DR.. Lorenz and on seventeen cases OPP
Grated upon at Jefferson Medical Col
lege Hospital by Philadelphia surgeons,

All OF the dislocations operated on by
DR.. Lorenz were reduced success
fully, and of the others only one patient
died. DR.. Wilson said this patient was
child seven years old, who was sup
posed to have been killed by the shock
of the anesthettc irestier than by the
severity of the operation.

name is said 10 be Mrs. Claude Guern-
sey, but whose residence is as yet I'M
known, committed suicide in a room in
the Hotel Navarro, Thirty eighth Street
and Seventh Avenue. early this morning
by drinking carbolic acid.
She went to the hotel at 1870 o'clock

hours afterward Walker came into the
hotel office and informed the clerk thai

ported it to be a case of carbolic acid
poisoning. The woman was beyond tho
reach of medical aid and soon died.

The police were informed and arrested
Walker. He had been drinking and could
throw little light on the suicide other
than to say that her name was not
Walker but Guernsey. and that she had
relatives in this city and Philadelphia.
He was locked up to await the arrival
of the coroner.
Walker was arraigned before Magis-
trate Hogan in the Jefferson Market
Police Court this morning. The police
man who arrested him said he had
taken the prisoner into custody on the
suggestion of Detective Maxwell, of the
Hotel Navarro, whose examination of
the woman's body showed that she had
marks of violence on both arms. Magis-
trate Hogan said that under the cir
cumstances he could only hold Walker
to await action by the coroner.

Far Out of Her Course.

The revenue cutter division was sus-
picious of the bark on account of her
laundering so far out of her course. She
was cleared for New Bedford, Conn. The
life-saying crew, which visited the bark,
has reported the rigging was in bad
shape, and in such condition the vessel
might easily have been carried south.
The report also said the bark came near
laundering on her voyage. Another dis
patch received today says the vessel is
nearly broken up and there is no chance
Of saving her
Another matter which was inquired
into by the revenue cutter officers is the
manifests showed only 290 immigrants,
and the number landed is much larger.
This is explained by the immigration
bureau. 1t appears under the law. one
manifest must not contain. more than
thirty names. 1t would not be surpris-
ing if number of the manifests were
lost in the wreck.
