The Jersey City health authorities are
disturbed over the plan Of the Health De-
partment OF this city to establish a sana-

The Erie Railroad officials were asked IL
proper precautions would be taken to
prevent the patients for the proposed
hospital from coming into contact with
other patrons Of the raiload on ferryboats
and trains and in the waiting room Of the
Jersey City depot. Health Inspector
Smellie got this reply from j. H. Maddy
Of the railroad:
.The Erie is aware OF the fact that the
city OF New York Is about to purchase
a tract Of land in Otisville, N. Y, with the
express intention Of erecting sanatorium
for tuberculosis patients. 1t has also been
asoertained that the city proposes to send
to this sanatorium persons unable to pa y
for proper medical treatment. There
fore 1t would generally mean that the
poorer classes would be looked after at
this place.

they find a patient needing treatment, to
send him to this sanitarium as soon as
possible, and we do not understand that
they are to be taken there In parties at

mon carrier and subject to the Interstate
Commerce laws, and this traffic being
interstate traffic, will be compelled to carry
these afflicted persons, and II they hold

riding in first class coaches.
aThe company Is fully aware Of the fact
that it is not pleasant to contemplate the
use of it's lighthouses, ferries and trains
by persons Of this character, but 30 far II
has found no way to prevent it. We should
be very glad to have your suggestions on
the subject, and we would also be glad to

Mexico VIII Gain by the Free Zones AbO-
lltlOn. =.


WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-The proclamation
Of President Daz abolishing on July 1
the free zone, in pursuance OF law enacted
May "a, 1904, is discussed in an official report
to the State Department by Consul Griffith
at Matamoras.
The free zone was established in 1851:
after the cession of Texas to the United
States. The object was to protect the
isolated towns along the Mexican border
from their commercial rivals on the Ameri-
can side and was made necessary by the
lack of transportation facilities in Mexico.
Originally it was intended for the benefit
of Matamoras alone, the principal city on
the border and the most important port OF
Mexico at the time.
Later the free zone was extended from
time to time until it included a strip Of
territory 20 kilometers wide, extending
from the Gulf Of Mexico along the contour
OF the Rio Grande and the borders OF New
Mexico and Arizona to Tiguila on the coast
Of Lower California.
At first all goods imported into the free
zone came free Of duty. At the time OF the
adjustment about II per cent. OF the full
duties was imposed. Consul Griffith says:
1The advantages and benefits from the
free zone since its creation have always
been a subject for animated discussion
by both Americans and Mexicans. As
the importer located within this zone re-
ceived all his goods practically free Of
duty, merchants in the interior frequently
charged that they were being disseminated
against, and, furthermore, that 1t offered
every inducement to the lawless element
TO eyade the customs laws of Mexico and to
clandestinely transport goods into the
, aThe American merchants, on the other
hand, commended that 1t operated against
their legitimate interests, inasmuoh as It
could be smugged back into the United
States. From 1881 to 1875 the trade OF
Matamoras was thus developed at the ex-
pense Of the American side.
aSince that time the revolutions and in
security attending business here, aided
by the lower import duties levied in the
United States on many European goods
and the constantly increasing demand
for goods Of American make, have enabled
the American merchants to gradually re-
cover a great deal Of the business OF the
frontier.
4The lighter taxation on the American
side as compared with that Of this side Is
also a noteworthy factor. Notwithstand-
ing that the American side Of the border
has experienced a steady growth both in
population and trade even with the free
United States customs officials and records
of the Federal courts show that the residents
OF that side up to the time OF the abolition
Of the free zone had not entirely lost their
taste for various articles which paid high
duties in the United States and were admitted
free into Mexico.
aThe general effect OF the abolition Of
the free zone has been to seriously affect

While the Jewish congregation of one
hundred members was celebrating Rosh
Tashana on Sunday morning, the grand jury
ment against the trustees of the synagogue
upon the ground that worship, including the
blowing of the Shofar, constituted nui-
sance.
In connection with the synagogue there
is school where Jewish children are be-
ing educated in the Jewish faith. In the
complaints of neighbors to the grand jury
it is alleged that the rabbi on several occa
sions chastised the children, whose screams
annoy the neighborhood.
In reply the members of the congrega
ton say that it is all an attempt to break
up their school ami to compel them to wor-
ship elsewhere. They demand the same
right for their school children to play as if
their school were on side street instead
of in a residential neighborhood.

in 1882 ran for Congress from the Sixth dis
trict of Louisiana on the Republican ticket.
1t was then an open secret that he was le-
ultimately elected, but through the politics
of those days he was counted out. Major
TRACER was well known in his section of the
