AUTHOR OF FREE PUBLIC BATH LAWS.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: On April % in The New-York Times" ap
peared article over my signature on the system
OF public baths. In this article among other
things claimed far as I knew. exclusive credit
for the State Commission IN Lunacy for intro
ducing the system Of rain spray bathing in State
institutions for the insane. I also claimed 70 be
author OF the first general State Legislation for
erection and maintenance of free public baths.
1.-THE Medical Record" of New-York- under date
of Nav 70 denies that 7 deserved any credit for
this legislation except as coadJuror Of and acI-
ing under the suggestion Of DR.. Barlch, of New
York This statement is without foundation, as
can be shown by documentary proofs. In 1877 L

conpe ling the erection and maintenance OF free
public baths IN all cities Of 5000 over The Gov
ernor. by advice Of counsel, declined 10 sign the
bill, and II Withdrawn and amended SO as to
be perrnissive when il became law. This was
three years before I knew heard of DR..
Baruch. IN 1895 I secured amendment 10 the
act of 1892 by making the provisions Of that act
mandatory and applicable 70 all cities of the first
Legislature of 1895. at his request, I met Dr..
Baruch. When I invited him TO appear with
before the Committee Of Public Health he

Neither Dr.. Baruch any other person than
myself was responsible for the legislation of 1892
and 1895. This could be established in court Of
law and 7 exceedingly surprised that any one
should claim otherwise. GOODWIN BROWN.

FIRE DESTROYS PAPER MILL.
INCENDIARY WORK, HOBOKEN POLICE SAY
Loss ESTIMATED AT 10000

The plant OF the Palisades Paper Company ar
Eighth and Grand SITS. HobOken. was destroyed
last night The loss is estimated 100000 The
police said that they believed the fire was OF in
cendiary origin.
The mill was two story frame structure 100 by
25O feet The watchman discovered what he de-
scrlbed "a bonfire the ground floor in the
rear of the mill at $50 o'clock He said that by the
time he reached the front of the building to send
in alarm almost the entire interior was abIaze
The hremen were handicapped by the scarcity
OF hydrants near the mill and they could do little
toward saving the building.
The plant was formerly owned by the franklin
Paper Mil Company. which sold out TO the Carr
Curran Paper Mill Company. This concern had
financial trouble, and went into the hands of re-
Cetver. Six months ago the Palisades Paper Com
pany, OF HOlbrOOk, Mass. assumed control. This
company also had a hard time OF il. and about
three weeks ago II was compelled to shut down
because of foreclosure proceedings.
