To the Editor of The Tribune,
Sir I beg to add a word to the discussion OF the
Central Bridge Grab letter and editorial con-

a speedway proposed, the riders and drivers
who were particularly interested in 1t were decrleo

rights of others who sought their own pleasure.

4 REMINDER FROM CONNECTICUT.

The combat between professional puglllsts IN
Hartford on Thursday appears to have dl-
fered in two particulars from anahs OF 'le
same sort which used TO be conducted III THIS
State under the Horton law. In the first place
n Iittle moro care was taken in advance 10 de-
scribe it As a sparrins exhibition. and. III the
second place competent observers do not swear
that il was q Swindle though the result was
generally unexpected. In other respects IT was
exactly like many performances IN the rings
here and hereabouts, out of which a specially
of ensiye coerie of persons got rlch during sew
eral halcvon and vociferous years. In short. it
was a prizefight for championship and large
sum of money and while 1t lasted II was as
furious and brutal as the toughest sport pres
emf could have hoped II would be. 1t ended
with a Knockout in the second round. 10 the
great distress of the favorite and his hackers;
but though the police attended in great force
and under strict injunctions 10 enforce the law
whatever that may he, there is no reason 10
suppose that they would have detected any
violation of the law If the fighters had been
able TO go on 10 the limit. II Is safe TO assume
that the people of Connecticut are not entlre!F
contented with the place in civilization 10 which
this vicious and bloody encounter consghs
them but the pugilistic fraternity is doubtless
reioiced TO find so convenient and hospitable an
arena close at hand TO replace the one from
which they were recently expelled by the legs-
lature OF New York.
The people Of this State are not responsible
except in a remote degree. for what goes on in
Connecticut; but are glad 10 believe that
they will not be moved by the spectacle across
their border to lament the repeal of the Horton
act or 10 listen with increased favor this win
ter to the pleas for its revival which will doubt
less be heard mt Albany. On the contrary. hay-
ing enjoyed considerable accession of self
respect since they broke up the depraved busi-
ness. which had grown prosperous by their au-
thority. though against their will, they will
probably value the relief all the more on being
thus freshly reminded of what they have es-
caDel.

uR. LoH-S POLICE COMMISSIONER

The selection of Colonel Partridge for the
office If Police Commissioner under Mr.. Low
has been for some time expected. Its official
announcement therefore. creates no surprise
For several weeks his name has been before the
public and his qualifications have been so
thoroughly canyassed and public appreciation
of his fitness SO universally acknowledged that
expressions Of satisfaction over the choice viii
add little TO what has already been said Mr.
Low will be unable TO doubt the sincerity of the
satisfaction for its expression antedated his
action and. perhaps confirmed his purpose.
Colonel Partridge is a worthy associate of
Nr Rives, the only other assistant OF Mr.. Low
Vet named In making known his future Po-
lice Commissioner the Maycr-elect has departed
from his wise rule of not announcing any ap-
pointments until he ready 10 announce ALL
for the excellent reason in this case that it was
necessary for Colonel Partridge to make ar
ranrements for leaving his office of State Super
intends,nt Of Public Works. and these arrange
rnenfs could not be satisfactorily carried out in
secret IL IS indicated however, that this ex-
ception does not change the rule. and that the
other heads Of departments will not yet be
made known.
Colonel Partrid-e's record as Police Commis-
siouer in Brooklyn and his recent utterances
show pretty clearly what his policy will be-

management OF large numbers of employees. He
will be the much needed disciplinarian for a

as proposed by some. of close acquaintance with

FIGHTING CANCER WITH Y RAYS.

The beneficial effect of ray treatment upon
cancer has been reported several times within
the last few weeks. The most recent instance
Is that of an Atlanta man, T. \. Heard The

local society of medicine by DR. NJ. r. Hutchins.
Epithelioma, or skin cancer. developed on the
patients lower lip eight years ago, slowly
spread, and finally attacked the jawbone
R0ntgen rays tried several times last
spring and within month the trouble was ap-
parentiy overcome Since that time there has
been no relapse. Not long ago n Chicago ply
sician declared that he had cured fifty cases by
the same means, but inasmuch details
were supplied that sweeping announcement is
not so convincing the Atlanta story although
it is probably not without some foundation.
The principal use to which Y rays have been
put since their discovery five six years ago is
the exploration of the body. to detect fractures
dislocations, the presence of foreign bodies
(more especially bullets and the effects of dis
ease upon soft tissues. But numerous attempts
have also been made to accomplish cures there
with. Pulmonary consumption one of the
first disorders experimental with, but no en-
coura cement was secured. Internal cancer was
treated with Y rays in Paris as long ago as
1896 Here again, the consequences were dis

reached too advanced a stage. The progress of
the disease was not stayed. death ayerted
although temporary diminution of pain was
noted. The most satisfactory results appear
to have been reached in dealing with eczema
lupus and other skin diseases Two years or
more ago Finsen told the world about his sue
in fighting these disorders with an arc
light. And within few months It was found
that rays were almost equally efficacious In
the mean time fresh experiments were tried
with cancer Boston. Philadelphia and other
American cities reported them. DR.. Francis H.
Williams, of Boston, author of recent work
on Rontgen rays, mentions several cases that
came within his own knowledge. and that indi-
Gated improvement or complete cure where
treatment began early enough.
While it thus appears that this particular use
OF y rays is not new. it is apparent that the
idea has attracted increased attention within
year or two. Unfortunately, neither the medi.
