BEING SPIT AT, HE SAYS.
Famed VienneSe Examines so
Patients Selected by Health
Commissioner Copeland

Or. Adolf Lorenz announced to-
day. in voice in which his emotion
was clearly evident, that he felt he
must discontinue all professional ac-
tivitics in this country and return to
Vienna, owing to tho opposition he
had encountered among the physl-
clans and surgeons of America.
He more than intlmated that the
only thing that would influence him
TO remain would bc a reconsideration
Of the medical professlon's attitude
toward hnr.. He admitted he had
utterly failed to conciliatc his fellow
surgeons %! America when he offered
the hand OF friendship.
A. yet DR.. Lorenz has made no
definite plans for leavinE, such as en-
gaging ocean passage. and he will
continue the clinics he has already
arranged. He came here seventeen
days ago, and 1t was his intention to
remain in this country for about
three months. He planned to leave
New York on Dec. %, for month in
Chicago, and to spend the remainder
Of the time in the cities OF the West.
The statement OF his change of
plans was made at the main offices
of the Board of Health, No. sos Pearl
Street, where he examined fifty
patients selected among those who
had applied to Dr. Copeland for an
opportunity to submit their cases to
the experts diagnosis.
DR.. Lorenz had been introduced to
the staff of the Board of Health by
DIR. Jacob Sobel, Assistant Director
of the Bureau of Child Hygiene, who
referred to him as "thc world-fa famed
surgeon, who belongs not to Austria
but to the world" 1t was then that
Dr. Lorcnz made his statement,
speaking in clear, correct English, in
which there was just a trace Of for
cign accent. Once or twice his voice
shook as he spoke. He said, after re-
ferring to his contemplated de-
parturc:
II harbor no malice against the
American profession. l did not m
terfere with their interests. On tho
contrary, l am quite sure promoted
their interests, having advised hun
dreds of necessary operations Thich
have to be done, not by me but by
them.

and accept the preferred hand o:
friendship with their Austrian breth-

Second, Hcland's territorial Intrg-

der the famous Article Y. of the Gov

this article as a guarantee OF Brit

of the fact that ireland now assumes
the constitutional status Of Canada,
the members of the League are
obliged to recognize IrclHnd's terri

properties.
Col Williams was the first witness.
He said he had been President and
director since February. 1911, and
rendered his resignation as such
about three years ago, but the rcsis
nation has not to date been accepted.
When Col. Williams said he had
not the slightest hesitation in sign
ing a waiver of immunity, Clarence
J. Shearn, chief counsel to the com
mission, remarked: II wish to state
there is not the slightest implication
against any one Of these witnesses in
asking that formal requirement"
Judge Shcarn asked Col. Williams
how he could Justify the Il. T. T.
policy during the critical year 1911
when large dividends were paid.
Col. Williams blamed the war anc
the failure of the city to complete it,
rart OF the dual subway system. IiC
said there was no need to fcar when
tho now lines opened that the earn
ings would not continue. Col. VIII
ilams said he did not know that prlcei
Of supplies were increasing to the cN
tent they did. He declared there wa.
p no good reason apparent why th'
dividends should not be continued.
Furthermore, the b. Il. r., Col
williams explained, had deprived tht
stockholders of any dividend for thir-
teen years, from 1896 to 1909, al
though during that time considerable
surplus had accumulated. Another
consideration was that $29,000,0O0 ii
bonds had been converted into !lkt
amount of b. Il. T. stock and there
was consequently n moral obligation
connected with it.
In 1917, Col. Williams insisted, ther,

might have acted differently" he said

Soldier Bonus IS Un-
changed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Furthrr
revision Of the tax laws, with a re-
Guction OF the maximum income sur
tax rate to 20 or % per cent. and ad =
justmcnt OF the rates on business
profits and estates. is suggested by
Secretary Mellon in his first annual
report, transmitted to-day to Con-
grCss.
The Secretary also announces that
tho Treasury's policy with respect t.
Gefcrment of the soldiers bonus Is
unchanged and urges prompt funding
Of the ten billions of foreign loans as
"onc of the outstanding needs of the
present economic situation" He also
informs Congress that the maturity
within the next eighteen months of
SG $50, 00O,O 900 of the short dated debt
"makes it imperative that the Govern
Iaent pursue a policy of the utmost
economy and avoid new undertakings
that would throw additional burdens
on the Treasury and embarrass the
funding operations" with respect to
the floating debt
Revenue revision is the subject
upon which the Secretary lays the
most stress He says the changes in
the tax law voted by Congress last
month give substantial relief 70 busl-
ness and industry-and restore In some
measure the freedom of business
! transactions, but our system of taxa
ton still requires careful and thought
ful consideration" He then proceeds
to say that If the loss of revenue re-
sultinR from the reductions in surtax
and other rates suggested cannot be
made up "by rigid economy in ex-
penditures" it can be met either by
placing a tax on certain specific ar
ticles, or by a w-rate general tax on
a broad class OF articles or transac-
tiors."
Reiterating arguments that the ef-
feet of high surta4 rates is to keep
new capital out OF productive enter
prise and TO prevent normal business
transactions, with the result that nat
ural industrial development is re-
tarded, Mr.. Mellon adds: Tho idea
seems to be prevalent that in taxing
large incomes only the person receiv'
ing the income and who is TO pay the
tax is really concerned. This Is a mis-.
take. for whatever the Government
takes in the way of tax out of any In

ductive capital"
"The complexity OF the law as Ia
as it concerns the income tax itsclt,
Mr.. Mellon concluded. has ariser

which means that each possible lues
