FAMOUS SURGEON
AIDING CRIPPLES
Deeply Affected by the Many
PiteOus Cases Seeking Re-
lief at His Hands.

New York, Nov. 25.-Misery so
poignant and so widespread greeted
Dr. Adolph Lorenz, famous Austrian
orthopedic surgeon, on the steps in
the halls of the Hospital for Joint
diseases today that he had almost
decided to devote the remainder Of
his days in alleviating the suffering
of Americas crippled.
DR.. Lorenz said at the end of his
first gratitude" clinic that never
before in all his career had he been
affected as he was by the sight of
hundreds of manned, distorted hu-
mans, clamoring for his aid. And
never, he added, had he seen land
so sorely in need of relief from
spinal and other troubles super1n-
duced by infantile paralysis.
His observations so far, he de-
clared, led him to believe that there
were "ten or fifteen times as many"
such sufferers in the United States as
in any other country in the world.
He was appalled,, he said, at what he
had found since coming here to try
to repay some part of Americas s
bounty to starving Austrian children.
Whether he will accept a 20-room
hospital in Brooklyn, which H. G.
Collins, an oil man, has offered to
equip and endow with the proceeds
of 100000 fund, or will accept an
invitation to become consulting sur
geon at the hospital for joint dis
eases, is not yet decided, according
to DR.. Lorenz's assistant, DR.. C. Wey-
man.
The question Of when he will make
a proposed tour of other cities also
is undetermined. So many cripples
are clamoring for his aid here that
DR.. Lorenz is unwilling to leave, DR..
Weyman said.
That it was impossible for the
noted surgeon to give more than
feeting examination to many of his
patients was emphasized at to-day's
clinic.
After working like mad for more
than five hours, DR.. 1orenz had
seen 125 cripples-scarcely one-tenth
of the applicants for aid who
crowded the hospital and streets
outside, coming on crutches, in wheel
chairs and in automobiles.
Every time that DR.. Lorenz ap-
peared in the corridors, darting from
one room to another where more pa
tlents had been disposed for him,
there was clatter of crutches and
canes on the marble floor as the
eager crowd surged forward in pit
eous appeals to attract his attention.
Some wept when attendants pressed
them back and they saw the tall,
patriarchal figure of the doctor dis
appear behind a door.
Long after he had torn himself a.
way to rush to Morris Plains, N. j.,
for a lecture and clinical demonstra-
ton at the New Jersey State Hos
p1tal, wistful men and women on
crutches and others carrying Grip
pied children fingered in the street
outside, hoping against hope that
the doctor would come back.
DR.. Lorenz told the hospital au-
thorlties he would gladly continue
daily clinics as long as there was de-
nand for it. 1t was efforts to help
pay the debt Austria owed the Uni
ted States for assistance rendered
Austrias starving children.
When there was talk of raising a
great fund to endow a hospital in
which he could carry on his work,
he said:-
Gould not some little bit of it be
given to my little Viennese children?
1t would only be fair"

JOB HUNTERS ID
 WAIT THEIR TURN Changes In Department of Justice to Be Made Very
 Slowly
By Associated Press

Washington, March 10-Job hunters seeking places in the department of jus tce will have to wait, according to a policy outlined today by Attorney Gen eral Daugherty, who said he probosed to make changes in the personnel of his organization very slowly. While he in- timated that republicans would replace democratic ineumbents in many places of importance eventually, he said a weed- ing process was planned which would not ircurt added expense to the government or duplication of work.
 The trend of effort of his administra- tion. MT. Daugherty indicated. would be directly towards q reduction in expendl- ture He added that he hoped for less litigation and consequently a lowered cost for the administration of the department.
 Tn a statement to newspaper correspon- dents the Attorney General expressed the belief that there would b a decrase m crime as conditions following the war gave way to normal.
 This department must in truth render a service of justice to all, he said. There will be no spite suits filed so long as I am in charge. and there will be no attempt to embarrass any interests. I hope for less litigation, although where the governments interests are concerned or crime has been committed I intend to see that the penalty is paid
 With respect to political plums, MT. Daugherty declared his intention to con- tinue in their places all prosecuting of- ficials whose work would have to be duplicated if they were replaced The exception he outlined to this general rule was the probable replacement of officials whose appointments were of nature that would carry through two or three years.
 'tThe country would expect those com missions to be terminated and the places filed by republicans. do not think. however. that it would be proper to cause the government to lose work done by an individual on a given detail which wouid result from summary removal from or flee"
 M-. Daugherty said he planned event ually to have a complete reorganization jn the department. but he indicated that nothing would be done which would up- set previous expended effort.
