HOW FEE SPLITTING IS DONE TO STEAL THE VICTIM'S COIN
(Dishonest Doctor Charges $200 For Operation, Gives Surgeon $100. CHEATS POOR PATIENT Unscrupulous Doctor Raises Price of Surgery to Fatten His Purse. "Fee diTidlng," says the Journal of the Indiana state medical association, "is a crooked deal between surgeon and general physician, with the patient as 'the goat'." A number of Richmond physicians endorse this denunciation. They feel It is one of the most dangerous menaces that ever has threatened the profession and are demanding drastic action. The reputable physicians of Wayne county have called on The Palladium to assist them In a state wide campaign of publicity against the members of their profession, some of whom are alleged to be guilty of this practice In Richmond. The state medical society at its recent meeting condemned in unqualified terms the abus and passed a severe stricture on the guilty members. The Palladium has Interviewed twenty or more Wayne county men. With two or three exceptions they unite In denouncing the practice as unjust and" dishonorable and assert it is being carried on here. Fear Lawsuits. But since to make definite or public accusation might Involve them In unpleasant and costly lawsuits they refuse to give specific data to the public. It is difficult to trace the evil to the guilty parties because a number are always tied vp together and protect each other. It is next to impossible to secure documentary evidence because the contracts are usually made orally and In secret. "Only a small number of the men in Richmond are guilty of the practice," said a local physician, "but they are so clever in hiding their trail we find it next to impossible to get clear and definite evidence. Certain others have, made a habit of paying the practitioner as they would a physician and doing it innocently. That makes It next to impossible to draw the line with certainty between those who are fee splitting and those who are not." "There are some methods of dividing fees," said another, "which are not (Continued on Page Ten.) AT 0. VOICE People of Indiana Have Followed Rising Career of Great Tenor. Paul R. Martin, one of the leading musical critics of the state has the following to say about Orville Harrold and his wife Lydia Locke, who appear at the Coliseum this evening: For several years past the people of Indiana have followed the career of Orville Harrold with interest steadily. He has progressed in public estimation until today he ; eminently entitled to be called America's greatest tenor. In everything that he does, and in every note that he sings, he demonstrates the fact that he is an artist to his finger tips. He has the faculty of placing himself on a plane of absolute intimacy with his audience, and so highly is his dramatic instinct developed that his concert program this evening became as interesting as , though it had been opera. Those who heard Orville Harrold j when he appeared in concert last season marveled at the richness of tone he displayed. Those who heard him this evening had still greater cause to wonder, for during the past year his voice has matured wonderfully, not only in tonal quality, but in range and time and again he took D above high C with an ease and sustention which would be taxing to many tenors In singing B natural.

WALL-STREET DEALS OF SULZER PROBE Purchased Shares of Big Four Stock Which Fell to Forty. ALBANY, N. Y., Sept. 30. Testimony showing William Sulzer's Wall street speculations extended over a period of years, was introduced before the high court of impeachment where the governor is on trial charged with I high crimes and misdemeanors. I Melville Fuller, of the brokerage ! fir mof Harris & Fuller, testified that , Mr. Sulzer's dealings went back to i March, 1910. Fuller had a truckload ' of books to refresh his memory. In a nutshell these were the chief points of the broker's testimony: In March, 1910, Sulzer bought one hundred shares of Big Four stock on margin at 80. Three months later Harris & Fuller loaned Sulzer $6,000 on a certificate for one hundred shares of Big Four. Sulzer had bought the stock on a ten per cent margin, but its decline continued until it went to forty. Mr. Fuller's firm advanced the governor 514,102 on the stock, and these advances, coupled with the decline. i wiped out the account. On July 26, last, the governor had a debit account of $22,664 with the firm, while his iholdingfc then had a market value of j $28,000. Chester C. Piatt, private secretary ; to Sulzer, identified a letter written i by the Governor on September 5, 1913, to a Dr. Brown. A summons has been issued to i former State Democratic Chairman W. !J. Connors, in Buffalo, to appear before the court and testify as to Suljzer's relations with Hugh J. Reilly, a i contractor who did a great amount of I work for the Cuban government while Sulzer was in Congress. A sensation was caused when Ful ler under questions from Chief Judge Cullen, admitted that Governor Sulzer's account was changed on the books of his firm so as to make it appear his stock transactions were a loan account and not a speculative account. Chief Judge Cullen started to question the witness after he became exasperated at the verbal sparring of Fuller and Isador Gresel, of counsel for the impeachment managers. Fuller's testimony was regarded by attorneys for the managers as a very crushing blow to the defense. It virtually took away Sulzer's main support, it was said. In November, 1912, at the time of the election. Sulzer held five hundred shares of Big Four, two hundred of American Smelting and . one hundred shares of Southern Pacific, Fuller testified. ,

With none of the extra police which Chief Gormon decided would be needed for Fall Festival duty, enrolled, a want "ad" was inserted in a news story yesterday. Last night there were more than fifty men who signified their willingness to act as special police. Twelve of the men were picked and "will be sworn in for duty tonight. The old "rube" method of giving out the names of the extra men has been abandoned by Chief Gormon and he has organized the extra men into a secret service corps. There 'will be no more display of badges by the plain clothes force as in former years," he says. "The practice of former years In giving out the names decreased the efficiency of the plain clothes force by fifty per cent." said the chief today. "My plain clothes force will be instructed not to show their badges unless making an arrest or in cases where it is essential that police powerbe shown. I believe that by keep-' ifig a secret the identity of the men, we can keep the city perfectly lawabiding because no one will know but what the man standing next to "m h&s police powers."-; , , . -.
