"You mustn't do it Ton mustn't laugh or sneeze. Both, are very bad for your- spine." said Nellie Revell. TU put on your plaster jacket, but I've got to laugh OKCE IK TES VIEWED SURGEOX It was a strange meeting there In the hospital room, for Nellie Revell, reporter, interviewed Dr. Lorenx 18 years ago in Chicago, just after be had made his operation, which was to prove bis own "making." on little Lolita Armour. Her personality and the story she wrote impressed Dr.

Lorens so deeply that he remembered both when he was asked to go see her this time, which is no little compliment to Nellie herself, and her writing, considering that thousands of reporters have Interviewed the doctor in America and written thousands of columns about him. Kntering the the old man gallantly stooped at the bedside to Miss Revell's hand and kissed it A few minutes later he interrupted his examination to turn to Dr. Sayre and say "Doctor, this lady is the most Intelligent patient I have ever examined in America. If Jt were you I should always follow her intuition In any matter of treatment" To say that Nellie Revell is popular along Broadway doesn't mean what it means when some stage stars are said to be popular. Her's is a quiet popularity the kind that keeps friends calling on her for 27 months after she disappeared off her last job, as press agent for John Cort She was more than a press agent however she was an -advertising director, and a gxd casting director.

When on the road with a theatrical show or a circus she never tried to put anything over on a city desk, and that square dealing made friends for her In most of the newspaper shops from this coast to the other one. A year ago there was a testimonial performance in New York. Every star In town wanted to work in the show. The receipts were over $22,000 and Miss Revell's mail began to grow with big checks from individuals whose names have been in the electric lights for years. These she returned with thanks.

She couldn't accept them, but it did her good to receive them because no man or woman who works for a living is going to sit down and write a check for $1900 for a merely casual friend. U.S. By United News) New York, Dec. 8. The mission of Dr.

Adolf Lorenx, famous Austrian surgeon, to repay America's kindness to Austrian children by performing his bloodless operations on poor children in the United States, was very nearly wrecked' on the rocks of professional antagonism. But it is probable that Dr. Lorens will go on with his work. The threat to abandon his tour of the country came Wednesday when Dr. Lorens attended a clinic at the department of health.

To the physicans who had gathered there he said: "In view of the wide and great opposition to my professional activities in this country from the ranks of the medical profession. I feel- I must discontinue all ray plans and return to my beloved Vienna. I hold no malice against the American profession. I did not interfere with their interests." "Don't i be disturbed professor," said Dr. Royal S.

Copeland. health commissioner, "by what a few chaps say. In this country we call them damn fools. I don't know whether you know what that means "Yes, we have them in Austria. They are in every country," Lorens agreed.

"You go on with your work," said Copeland. "God helping me, I will," returned Dr. Lorenx, and the issued seemed settled. Later a statement was Issued saying that In accordance with the request of the health commissioner and other New York surgeons. Dr.

Lorens will hold in abeyance his. plan to return to Europe The question of Lorenz having accepted fees for his work has been definitely cleared up by the statement that the Austrian surgeon never accepted a cent in payment from the poor whom he treated or examined in and that the reported $100 fees came from wealthy patients whom he examined outside the "regular" hours.

That was the question that came before the city council today when A. L. Barbur, commissioner of public works, asked that the bid made by Porter Yctt on 43,500 cubic yards of sand, gravel ana crushed rock be thrown out The bid was' $4000 Jess than the other two bids from contractors. Barbur maintained that Yett could not furnish the material wanted by the plant His point was that thej City Motor Truck company, of which Yett is the head. Is a new -concern, and that prompt delivery is doubtful.

In response to this Yett stated he had modern equipment at the quarry, and, furthermore, would make any reasonable 'guarantee fori delivery and post any bond the council might wish. He pointed out that the' rock from' his quarry comes up to city specifications, as some of it had been used by the paving plant at a time when some of the "reliable'' bidders had failed in delivery. Upon the motion of Commissioner Bigelow the council decided that Barbur should prepare an estimate of the material needed for the paving plant for the first six months. This estimate will be considered at a meeting Monday. At that time Yett will state whether he can deliver the material required.

The bid will be awarded at that time. Yett made a bid of $96,085 the Columbia Contract company came second with a bid of $100,601. and the Star Sand company bid $103,965 on the same amount of material to be used during the fiscal year.

Uolraan. chairman of the board of county commissioners, at meeting in the courthouse Wednesday evening. "I don't want the poor to go hungry." said County Commissioner Rudeen, repudiating a section of a report he had made to the tax supervising commission charging "extreme liberality" In the disbursement of relief funds.

"I am as charitable as any. That's me. But when the overhead gets to be' half of the Invested capital it is time to call a bait." i The meeting which crowded' the courtroom in which it was held afforded district committees, the newly elected directors of the welfare bureau and county commissioners a complete exposition of the work, of the bureau. OVERHEAD KEPT LOW "The oVerhead expense of the public welfare bureau," said A. R.

Gephart, general secretary, "runs about per cent." He made it clear, however, that no overhead is charged against the county rangement, goes entirely to the needy. All of the bureau's salaries are paid through the Community Chest. It wan also made clear that salaries paid visitors to the homes of need are not claused as "overhead" for the reason that these visitors, trained both by education and experience, make it their first businefs to mobilize the resources of the home and of funds other than public charity money, they seek to find a way by which the family may resume self support, and it is only when other resources fall that the public' funds are drawn upon. VISITORS MOTIVE FOWEB In this way the visitors of the bureau become producers and are a motive power, not a burden to the vehicle of charity. Numerous concrete Illustrations were given supporting this assertion.

After the work of family rehabilitation, cooperation with other i cities In preventing the annual migrations of ln-dlgests, and educational efforts had been detailed. Dr. Phil A. Parsons of the University of Oregon, reported on the work of the bureau's industry which is designed to "make a profit from waste material and waste human life." He said that it will only be a short time until this industry will actually become a producer of cash Referring to the criticism pointed at the the president of the organisation said "You become targets whenever work for public good is undertaken. RIGHT CRITICISM WELCOME Tou become targets of the designing and of the ignorant, and, occasionally, of those who have constructive criticism.

The last is always desired. The "members of the board and of the staff of the bureau feel that they are working over hours to serve their time. But there Is not a member of the board or a member of the staff who, will not gladly give his or her place to some one who can do the work better. Moreover, if the county can administer its relief fund in a better way than the present method, the bureau will gladly step out of the way. But, candidly, I do not think the work has ever been done so well as at tne present time.

What we need is to sit down together and work things out. There ought not to be thrusts in the dark or scrambled criticism arising from secret motives. The poor suffer from such tactics. Let's keep the cards absolutely on the table." Commissioner Holman stated that the county expects the bureau to observe rules limiting food distribution, to cer- tain hecessary Items and was assured that compliance is the order of the public welfare bureau board. I CONFERENCE IS ASKED There was sent to the county commissioners today, by the public welfare bureau, a letter asking conference before rather than after damaging publicity.

It contains the following paragraph "In a sense, through our administration of the county relief fund, i we are performing your legal duty. We want to help you we want to meet the need as efficiently and at as little expense as possible. "Will you give us Immediately the beaefit of your suggestions and constructive criticisms?

superintendent of police and Tire communications. The estimated cost of installing a central station, necessary under the plan, is $300. Savariau said, and an automobile can be fitted for $80. The apparatus suggested is in compact form built especially for motor use. Equipping the two fire boats with radio, is also being considered, A.

commissioner of public affairs, said. He pointed out that if a fire call came in from St Johns and the fire-boat answered it there was no wayof recalling her. If some other apparatus has responded to the call and has the fire under control the boat knows nothing of it until it arrives at the scene. The cost of operating the boat on one such trip would more than pay for the installation of radio, he said. With the apparatus the boat could be recalled at any time.

The use of radio in both police and fire work was suggested by F. W. Mul-key, chairman of the tax conservation commission, at the hearings held on the budget for the two departments. 27 CASES APPEALED Twenty-seven cases were appealed from the municipal court to the circuit court in, November, according to a report filed' by Judge Rossman this morning in the office of the city auditor. Fourteen of the cases appealed were for violation of the prohibition act COESCIL VOTES TO ACCEPT $13,60 STUTZ PUMPER Upon the recommendation of C.

A. Bigelow, commissioner of public affairs, the' city council today voted to accept the new $13,000 Stutz pumper that has been the cause of considerable contention. In accepting the pumper $500 was withheld pending the arrival of certain devices required by the specifications. DIPHTHERIA CASES DECLINE With the quarantining of six cases of diphtheria this morning the total number in the city was made 98, according to records in the city health office. The files show that the number of cases is decreasing, however.

ISHT PRISONERS LOOSE (Continued from Pas One) Collins, in an Interview here before leaving for Dublin. "This association of Ireland with the empire is not an association of a dominion with the empire, but it is really the association of her partners. That partnership must be shaped so that the two" peoples equal in nationhood may mutually benefit" In a letter to Lloyd George, Arthur Griffith announced that he had agreed upon devising a scheme whereby the Southern Unionists might be fairly represented in the Irish parliament SIN If FEIX )OW CONSIDERING PACT CREATING NEW STATE Dublin, Dec. 8 (U. The first "showdown" on the Anglo-Irish peace treaty came today when the Sinn Fein cabinet met here to consider the agreement There were hints of opposition by the Sinn Fein irreconcilables, who demand a republic and absolute separation from the British empire, as the cabinet ministers gathered to discuss the treaty with President Eamonn de Valera.

The general attitude of the common people in Ireland is one of resignation. They believe the matter is in the hands of Dail Elreann and the British parliament, and they are content to await the decision of the two bodies who "are doing the business." Opinions in the Dail Eireann were closely guarded. A dispatch here quoted Sean O'Kelly, Irish envoy to France and former speaker of the Dail, saying he would vote against the treaty. "I do not doubt that the Dail will ratify the pact" O'Kelly is quoted "but I am sure it will cause a lively discussion, and for one, am against it" The lord mayor of Dublin declared the agreement "should fill every man, woman and child in Ireland with delight" ULSTER WILL TEST SINCERITY OF SINN FEIN FIRST OF ALL By Earle C. Reeves London, Dec N.

Ulster province will refuse to enter immediately into the Irish Free but the Unionist leaders are convinced of the advisability of joining later after testing the sincerity of the Sinn Fein. This was the message brought from Belfast to Lloyd George by Geoffrey Shake speare, the premier's secretary, who acted as special courier in carrying the Irish peace agreement to the Ulster government "If the Sinn Fein makes a gesture of friendliness towards Ulster. I am sure the Ulster Unionists are prepared to reciprocate," said Secretary Shakespeare. ULSTER LEADERS CAUTIOUS The courier arrived from Ulster capl-tal early in the day and -took breakfast with Premier Lloyd George at 10 Downing sfreet During the course of the meal he made a long report upon condition's and political views in the Unionist stronghold. Shakespeare is understood to have told the premier that the Ulster, leaders will act cautiously, a statement borne out by the speech of Sir James Craig before the Ulster parliament on Wednesday afternoon, when he said the Ulster government was opposed to hasty acceptance.

From conversations he held with Ulster Unionists Shakespeare was convinced that while Ulster will not Join at once, the Unionist chieftains are agreed upon the need of Irish unity. They desire to give the Sinn Fein time, perhaps as much as a year, to test their pledges and their capacity for carrying out their guarantees. ULSTER HAS CHOICE Under the terms of the peace treaty Ulster is given the option of uniting with the Irish Free State or remaining out under her present status. Sir James Craig is scheduled to leave Belfast for London tonight He will confer with Premier Lloyd George tomorrow, seeking elucidation of certain points In the Irish agreement aa they affect Ulster.

Ulster premier, and Sir Ernest Clarke, under secretary of the treasury in the Ulster cabinet on Friday. The meeting will take place at 10 Downing street, at LI o'clock. 1 2 PRIVATES WERE HANGEDJAN SAYS (Ooatinaed from Pact One) the committee chairman, asked Watson. "I da 1 11 show that" Watson answered.

Watson was the first witness called. "There are ex-service men who are afraid to come here lest their compensation be cut off," Watson said, when Brandagee asked him if he wanted the committee to summon any witnesses. "Some of these men had their very souls shell shocked by the horrible outrages they were subjected to by their officers in France," Watson continued. Watson read from a Waco, Texas, newspaper charges which he said were made by John J. Forbes, an ex-marine of Cleveland, Ohio, which "clearly showed" that American soldiers were handed for "common gibbets" in France.

'If the American people don't know that American boys were hanged on gallows in France during the war, it is high time the truth was revealed to Watson quoted Forbes as stating. The committee decided, with Watson's consent to summon Forbes to appear before it The total number of United States soldiers executed in France was 11, Colonel Walter Bethel, who was Judge advocate general of the A. E. F. and attached to Pershing's headquarters, testified.

Bethel gave a complete list of the 11 executions. He stated only one man had been hanged at Gievres where, according to witnesses quoted by Watson, 21 men had been hanged at one time. "A total of 62 death sentences were imposed in France," said Bethel. "General Pershing disapproved 11, commuted 11 and approved 11. The others were changed by other authority, in some caseB by President Wlaon." (Continued from Pace One) their operations, declaring that they are operating at about 90 per cent capacity.

Union leaders contend that approximately 19,000 men are on strike in Chicago and declare that several thousand more will go out today. ATIOSTAL GUARDSMEN PATROL DISTRICT AT SOUTH ST. PAUL Chicago, Dec 8. At South St Paul, five companies of national guardsmen are patroling the packing house districts and had to charge the strikers to effect passage way for working employes, so effective was the picket line. Packing houses at Albert Lea, were forced to close when engineers and other employes followed the meat cutters in striking.

At Omaha, with the exception of Armour packing plants were declared to be doing practically no killing and three employes were injured in righting along- the picket line. Extra police are reported guarding the packing plants at Bast St Louis and the Kansas state industrial court is attempting to prevent a tieup of the stockyards Kansas City, Kan. Fort Worth (Texas) plants are operating with crippled forces, according to dispatches, as is said to be the case at Oklahoma City, Okla. Denver (Colo.) plants are badly hit by the strike, dispatches declare. TROOPS CHARGE STRIKERS; MOB OF S00 DISPERSED (By Cnited News) St Paul, Dec.

8. State troops dispersed a mob of 3000 striking packing plant employes here late Wednesday. Charging with fixed bayonets, the guardsmen took complete control of a menacing situation. Picket lines were broken and for the first time since Monday packing plant officials and employes who were willing to work had access to the Swift and Armour plants. The thrust came after a day of threats and bickering.

P. J. McCoy, union secretary, met the ultimatum of Adjutant Genera Rhinow with a threat that "if the troops try to run us out there will be a fight" Tomato Can Safety Deposit Is Rifled; $2000 Is Missing A tomato can "safety deposit" proved poor protection for George Virvlo's $2000 Saturday night when a man, alleged to be George Goboiich, entered the basement where the coin and can reposed on a corner shelf and departed leaving only the can. Goboiich. who lives at 470 Hoyt street is now under arrest on a charge of trespassing.

He was taken in custody this mormng by Inspectors Swennes and Gordon. Virvlo drew out $2000 Saturday for the purpose of making a loan to a friend who was buying a house. The friend did not call for the money. It was placed In the can and left in the basement at Virvlo's home at 619 Overton street Virvlo told Swennes he and another man at his home heard a noise in the basement late Saturday night They went into the yard, one at the front and the other at the rear of the house. A man was seen coming from the cellar window.

Virvlo and his friend followed the man to 470 Hoyt street They claim this man was Goboiich. When the can as inspected later the money was gone. Goboiich denies any knowledge of th money, which has hot been recovered.

I believe Bhull owes to the members of this board, the setting of us right before the public in some of the statements reputed to him.P Director Eiaman followed irt remarks supporting Woodward, in which he said he wanted to leave the board with his "skirts dean." Then George B. Thomas thundered thus: "Before I Vote. I would like to have you tell this audience what members you took up that matter with it before it appeared In the paper." "Any further remarks?" inquired Shull, calmly. "You are simply going to ignore that," Thomas bellowed. Shull replied RESOLUTION OUT OF ORDER "I think this resolution is out of order, I don't think it is necessary.

I don't care for any vote of confidence with a string tied to it I did not know I was on trial. Since the case that has been under consideration for several days has been decided and nobody is guilty, everything is lovely. I am perfectly satisfied if the rest are. That brings me to the subject of the attitude which apparently is here in the minds of some, that I was on trial. I am perfectly willing to be considered in that light 1 am going to say this, however.

"As Eisman has intimated, I telephoned htm about this matter. I telephoned Woodward and told him some of the things that had been brought to my attention. Further than that, several of the men who came to me with these facts which were not controverted in the trial, went to Woodward and told him about them. If he didn't see fit to take action, that Is his affair and not mine. MEXTI05S "I55EB BI5G" "I told Clark.

He said: 'I think you should go ahead. It should be "The method may not have met with Clark's approval or anyone's else, I know that Eisman is absolutely conscientious in any action he takes and any vote that he makes. Whether he agrees with me or differs from me makes no difference in my estimation of him. I believe Martin and Clark have acted conscientiously. "So far as this question of an inner ring is concerned, mentioned in one of the newspapers, that interview was substantially correct I don't attempt to say the wording was exact I don't know that the man who wrote the interview would say the wording was exact but that is a matter between anyone Interested and the paper.

The Interview as published was substantially correct Some seem particularly sensitive about this question of inner ring, particularly Woodward. "I recall very clearly one night when he used the expression which, aroused the ire of Thomas that tha -steam roller was working." Now wonder what he meant by that? He used it when a subject was brought up and passed quickly without consideration. RECALLS REMARK "I recall another great matter brought to the board without any notice whateverGrout's reelection.

It makes no difference, except it justifies what I am going to say now, just to call to Woodward's attention- his own statement Tonight he votes that this subject has not been proved. The other evening," after one of those hearings, in conversation with me Woodward made this statement: 'It is perfectly plain that Director Thomas has been working the old-time political game dq wn in the shops for his own Interest' THOMAS MAKES THREAT "Word for word?" asked Woodward. "That was the expression." replied Shull. Thomas declared "I do blush when Shull abuses Woodward as he did tonight Mr.

Shull, if you have anything against any member of this board, if you have any criminal knowledge of anybody, the place to take it is to the grand jury, and I will tell you here now. If I eter find anything against you or anybody else from a criminal standpoint, that is where I will take it I won't play the baby act by taking it before some tribunal that has -no power." "I don't know that anything new has been said by Thomas," replied Shull quietly, "or if he intends it as bluff or to bulldose me. Some of the statements he has made are true and some are Incorrect Whenever I think he has done anything that is for the advantage of the district, I shall support it in the future. Otherwtse I shall oppose it TIME THEFT OFFOSED "That is all I have to say. I am here on the job and will stand for what I do." Thomas voted no on the first part of Newill's resolution, which was equivalent to a vote of confidence in Shull.

The matter of closer scrutiny of time cards and the instant dismissal of any person working outside on school time, which was the other part of Newill's resolution, was considered reluctantly. Thomas said that was being done now, and Martin said he had suggested a card that would make it impossible for anyone to "steal" time, but Newill insisted upon such a motion being made a matter of record.
