ready under such a long Bentence ho
would punish him for contempt of
court. The judgo told the Jury that
such action would bo useless so far

Dr. Lorenz Going Home Op
position By Medical Profes
sion Cause Told Not to Let
'Damn Fool Type' Worry Him
. Harbors No Malice.
NEW YORK., Dec. 7. Dr. Adolph
Lorenz, famous Austrian surgeon, an
nounced today that in view of the op
position to his professional activities
In this country from the medical pro
fession, he would discontinue further
free clinics and return to Vienna as
soon as possible.
"I harbor no malice against the
American profession and hopo they
will Boon reconsider and accept the
proffered hand of friendship with
their Austrian brethren,", Dr. Lor
enz said, in a statement.
"My great mission wns to thank
the American people for all they have
dono for the starving little children
of Vlennn. I did not fall In this."
Dr. Lorenz, however, did not disap
point 75 crippled children who had
gathered at Health Commissioner
Copeland's office today, seeking his
aid. He went through with the ex
aminations, diagnosing and advising
modes of treatment for the little un
fortunates which will be carried out
by American doctors.
When Dr. Lorenz stopped to rest
and sip some tea Dr. Copeland said
to him:
"We have in America a typo of
citizen we call 'damn fools.' Don't
be disturbed by them.
"I have received word that my old
university, the University of Michi
gan, is open for you. The health
officer of Newark, Dr. Charles V.
C'raster, Is here and he wants you to
go there and assist In caring for the
crippled In that city.".
Dr. Lorenz replied:
"I have dono what I could with a
clear conscience and a good heart. I
will continue If Ood assists me."

New Discovery By Prof. Jacob
Kounz Turns Light Into
Electric Pulses, and Word
Curves Put On Films Im
provement On Discovery.
L'RDANA, 111., Dec. 7 A discovery
which It "seems possible will make
the movies of the futuro talk" was an
nounced by the University of Illinois
today. The basic patents of the in
vention are held by the Institution.
"The scientific discovery is that of
an extremely sensitive and reliable
'photo-electric' cell, made about two
years ago in the physical laboratories
of the university by Professor Jacob
Kounz," says the announcement.
The photo-electric cell Is a device
for turning flashes of light into elec
tric pulses and is so sensitive that it
reacts to light from stars which can
not be seen with the naked eye. A
second film is used on the same spin
dle as the' moving picture film, on
which are photographed various curves
and openings corresponding to the
words which are to accompany tho pic
tures. A beam of light sent through
this film falls upon the photo-electric
cell. It is thus possible to get varia
tions in an electric current by letting
the beam of light from a speech photo
graph film fall upon such a cell. These
variations act in a telephone to repro
duce speech.
"Dr. Kunz' photo-electric cell in
transforming light waves into electric
pulses responds immediately to a light
wave even after hours and days of
use."
The selenium cell was used with
some success by a Swedish Bciontlst
but Dr. Kunz' cell is declared by the
university announcement to be far
more sensitive and promises to give
tho perfect "photo-phone" of the fu
ture. STEPS TAKEN 10
FROM BIG LOADS
SALEM, Ore., Dec. 7. A closer
co-operation between tho county
courts and the state highway de
partment in working out a system to
eliminato damage to highways by
heavy truck hauling is urged in a let
ter to Governor Olcott from County
.ludge G. A. Gardner of Jackson
county. The letter is one of tho re
3onses the governor has received
from a communication to the county
judges recently, asking' their sug
gestion relative to protective legis
lation for state highways.
"It seems to us after considerable
study that tho best procedure would
bo for tho county courts and the
state highway engineer to work out
the type of roads in the several coun
ties and place a limit according to the
condition of the several roads," says
tho letter.
"There should ho ample power
given to both the county courts and
the state highway commission to reg
ulate the loads."

CURFEW LAW FOR

ur lu uuuhuil
Parent-Teacher Ordinance in
Favor of 18 Years and Nine
o'clock As Hour Thought
Too Drastic Copy After
Salem Law.
As n result of the vult of finite a
dcleiPition consisting of the members
of the council of tlv local parent
teacher circles and other prominent
citizens last night before the elly
council, and their submitting a ten
tative draft of a curfew ordinance, the
city council wilt litter on pass such an ;
ordinance to prohibit the boys and
Kit-Is of Medfnrd from Ulng on lite
streets of Medford lute at nlKhl unless
properly accompanied by elders. The
city at present has u curfew ordinance
which has not been enforced for'
years because it Is regarded as too'
drastic. This ordinance wlil be re-1
vamped embodying some of the main
features of the parent teachers coun
cil draft.
This draft fixes the age limit under
IS. Mayor Gates and some of the
other cmmcilmen think this limit is
too high and favor it being fixed as
16 and under. This draft also fixes
the curfew hour as 0 o'clock on sum
mer niKbts and .:30 o'clock on win
ter nights. The. mayor and others
also think that that time should be
changed to 9:30 in the summer and
10 in tho winter. Otherwise, there
seems to be a disposition in the city
council to regard tho submitted draft
in the main its agreeable all around.
.Among the speakers of the delega
tion were Mrs. George Kunzman,
president of the pnrent-teai'hcr coun
cil: Mrs. Walker, president of the
Jackson school parent-tetteher asso
ciation, Mrs. Wntle, speaking for thoj
mothers of tho high school students;,
Uev. 10. P. Lawrence, speaking fort
the city minister's union: Kupcrin-1
tendent of Schools Aubrey Smith and f
Attorney C. M. Thomas. Tho bitter
explained tho tentative ordinance;
which Is based on the Salem, Ore., or
dinance, which is generally regarded
as the best curfew measure in the
state. The committee which drew up
the draft investigated all tho curfew
ordinance in forco throughout Ore
gon, and pave careful consideration
to drawing up the tentative ordinance.
All the speakers dwelt unon the ne
cessity for a curfew ordinance In the
city, which should be enforced rigidly,
and declared that they were not dic
tating to the city cottneil, nor asking
anything unreasonable, but that they
wished to co-opernto with the coun
cil In bringing nbout a measure for
the morals of the city and tho good
of Its youth.
A feature of the proposed ordinance
which meets with general approval Is
that it puts n large part of the bur
den of the enforcement upon tho par
ents. Tho tentative ordinance rends,
in part, as follows:
"Section 1. It shall bo unlawful

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. Illy Asso
ciated Press.) The four power agree
ment being considered by the United
States, Great Hrlttiln. Japan and
France, It was learned today from of
ficial American sources, would be an
agreement for joint consultation cn
any matter affecting Interests of those
nations In the Pacific and not an alli
ance or technical entente.
The agreement Is in process of be
ing reduced to treaty form It was said
and if accepted is to be submitted to
the sennte.
The proposed undertaking is design
ed to do away with the Anglo-Japanese
alliance and proposals have gone to
Japan for cancellation of that alliance
if the new agreement should be accept
able.
As now under negotiation the agree
ment is to be limited to the Pacific
islands. Under the tentative proposals
each of the powers would agree t'
consult each other before going to
war on any differences that might
arise relating to those islands.
The agreement, American officials
said, would not deal with fortifications
In the Pacific nor -with questions re
lating to tho Island' of Yap. Neither
would It deal with- any. matters -nf foot
ing China, but only:ithoso roluting to
islands of tho Pacific.
A tentative proposal for an agree
ment between the United States and
other powers to replace tho Anglo-
Japanese nllianco has been cabled to
Loudon as w.ell as to Toltio, na a result
of the last meeting of the arms confer
enco "big three." . -
Tho proposed four-power agreement
to deal with the Pacific islands is said
to have already-been given approval In
principle by British representatives at
the Washington conference.
The subBtance of the proposed
treaty, also, it was said, has been
canted to Toklo and Paris. The formal
responses of tho British, Japanese and
French governments still remain to
be received however.
