 Donald Cameron McClelland, de- fendant in the divorce case, issued a statement saying:
 T think it shame that anybody as fine as Miss Brady should be dragged all over the front page of the newspapers. xxx My only con- nection with her has been purely business one. AS for taking trips, they were purely of business na- ture. might have left on any train but it is natural for company to travel together"
 The divorce bill charged Miss Brady made trips with McClelland and entertained him at her New York home and that he made the Brady home in New York his mail ing address.

 T do not know Mrs. McClelland. xxx Either Mrs. McClelland is mistaken in naming me in her di- vorce action or the charge is an out rage upon me. All I can say is that there is not the slightest foundation for any charge. Until I have seen a copy of the divorce petition with its specifications, l cannot say any thing else"

Dr. Foerster Tells How Cutting Out Bits of Nerve or Severing Un- necessary Tendons Cures Pathetic Cases.

Philadelphia, Oct. 16 P>-Opera- tions by which he said cripples had regained power to walk and children enabled to straighten arms and legs, feXed tight for years, were describ- ed by Dr. Otfried Foerster of Bres- lau Germany, at one of the sym posiums of the clinical congress of the American College of Surgeons, in session here.
 Dr. Foerster described many methods he has developed for the tratment of the lame and the halt He told of patients whose legs could not be uncrossed, or whose fingers were gripped together tight and could not be extended, who, he said, were cured by cutting a tendon or muscle which could be dispensed with without harm" He also told of lengthening the tendons in a child's legs so that he was able to extend his legs for the first time in his life and how the child had learn ed to walk normally
 4tohSo SlippiSS ofCI
 Dr. Foerster's explanation of how he had been able to make over crip- pies into normal human beings by cutting out bits of a nerve or sever ing Indispensable" muscles or ten- dons was illustrated with slides and motion pictures. These were photo- graphed in the Wentzel-Hancke Krankenhaus in Breslau, where Dr. Foerster is chief physician of the neurological department.
 He gave statistics for 100 cases of fiXation of limbs in abnormal posi- tions due to accidental injuries to portions of the brain, and told how operations on nerves, muscles or tendons ended both suffering and dis ability.
 Tells of Aiding Hands
 Dr. Summer L. Koch, of Chicago, at the same symposium, described operations on contractures of the hands. He pointed out that after hands had been burned or crushed, scartissue sometimes caused fixation of the hand, with loss of power to move the fingers. Many such cases were described by Dr. Koch in which he said hands had been made nor nal by transplating thin gratis of skin. Subcutaneous tissue could also be transplanted he said, and he added that physical therapy and the use of splints which brought elastic tension to bear on contracted tendons and stiffened joints aided jn setting things right.
 Dr. Koch paid tribute to Dr. AL len B. Kanavel, of Chicago, who also is attending the congress, as deserv- ing "a major share of the credit for developing these methods"
 Torn Tissues Difficult
 Dr. Frederick J. Cotton of Boston, said some of the most difficult casss a surgeon has to deal with werv fractures in which the tissues had been torn or had become infected, but the modern surgeon, he said, had developed methods of cleaning and disinfecting such tissues, includ- ing the application of oxygen to the wound.
 In a symposium on electro surg cry, Dr. Kanavel said the radio knife could be used more effectively in some operations than the knife forg- ed of steel. The radio knife, q needle emitting hot sparks general ed by radio frequency currents, he explained, could both cut and pre- vent bleeding. This, he added, was an important point where many sraall Blood vessels were involved,

Mrs. Mclaughlin Injured When Horse Steps in Hole During Hunt
 Not Her First Accident,

Chicago, Oct. 16 LP The fall hunting season of the exclusive North Shore area will be without one of it's scintillant fgures-for some time at least.

DELAY SEEN 0N
 TARIFF ADVISERS
Hoover Unlikely to Name Con-
 mission Very Soon

Washington. July 14 PHThe prospect that the tariff commission will not be reorganized until after adjournment of the senate treaty session was seen today at the cap!- tai with word from the White House that no nominations would be made pending approval Of a date to vote on the treaty. Under the new tariff act, President Hoover has until September r to appoint a new commission. Any of the six lncumben commissioners who are not reappointed and confirmed by that date automatically go out of office.
 Should the president wait until the last few days of the special ses- sion to send in any nominations to the commission, the chances of confirmation before adjournment would be impaired by the contro- versies which often attend such ap- pointments.
 MT. Hoover has had many names under consideration for the com mission. He also has been reported as ready to reappoint some of the present commissioners.
 Pending the reorganization the present commission has been reluct- ant to start actively upon any new investigations ordered by the senate since enactment of the new law June 17.

City Goes Wild With Joy as Golf
 Champ Arrives

Atlanta, Ga, July 14 (UP)-The home folks paid an honor to Bobby Jones today that dimmed all the international recognition this blond young man has received for winning three major golf tourna- ments in succession.
 Bobby, who Saturday won the na- tional open at Minneapolis. came in on the Ponce De Leon, which had held up an hour and a half at Chattanooga to receive him after his train had been delayed by a burned bridge.
 His arrival signaled public welcome that was vociferous, as At lantans reclaimed the home town young man who has gained lasting international fame in the field of golf,

Courts Collect Less in
 Past Year in State

Hartford. July 14 lP)-The courts of the state collected less fines !r1 the fiscal year of 1929-1930 by considerable margin than in the previous fiscal year, if the fines col lected for violation of motor vehicle laws may be taken as any criterion. AS motor vehicle violations furnish much of the business for most courts, the decrease of S19,343.63 in fines paid into the courts by mo- torists may we'll indicate that court receipts in the state at large are much in the same condition as at Hartford where d decrease of $10,- 900 in receipts was noted during the year.
 For the fiscal year ended on June 30, 1880, the state courts had col lected S324,27192 as compared with $343.615.61 for the fiscal year end- ed June 30. 1929 according to re- ports made to the state motor ve- hicle department.
