DR.. KELLY SPLITS SOCIETY
Baltimore Medical Men CoWed
by Fear of Censure.

Baltimore. Jan. 21.-There ie a big split
in Baltimore medical circles, including
the membership of the City Medical So
ciety over the publicity given Or. How
ard \. Kelly and his radium exploits
While many say that the objection to tho
publicity given DIR. Kelly is due to jeal-
ousy. most of the doctors seemed cowed.
as II they were afraid to open their
mouths lest some dire thing should befall
them, such as being hailed before the
dread board OF censors or the equally
dread honor committee.
DR.. G.. Lane Taneyhils action last
night in telling the medical society that
1t had better he careful what il did and
said as being corporation, 1t would be
sued for libel threw some cold water on
the proceedings.
DR.. Randolph Winslow was apparently
the spokesman in the attack on such pub
Lefty as Or. Kelly has been receiving.
He asked the meeting how any man who
had signed the pledges Of the American
College of Surgeons could make the
'preachments. the sermons. the long in
teryievs and articles We have foisted
upon us In this community"
