pidity and lack of intelligence with which they
managed
Enough has been said to give your readers a
pretty clear idea Of conditions under Reyess die
tatorship.
As for the differences which NAV or may not be
settled between William Nelson Cromwel-who is
not Panama-and Reyes's representative-who is
not Colomba-with without the mediation of
Secretary Taft those are differences in which
neither Colombia nor Panama is deeply concerned
They refer to business transaction according 10

how, and Cromwell insists that he is going to give
only Sl.Oo0Gt0 or perhaps less

United states Is a poor one, 10 say the least. Is

Certainly not. And though it may be alleged that
the United States does not disburse any money
for the transaction, shame is always dear even

In such transaction. Besides where is the adj
vantage gained by the United States? Why
upon orIenceiess people whose only offence con-
sists in being the lawful owner OF a territory
coveted and already stolen?
From the point Of view OF Panama the transac-
uon IS absurd. Whatever standing Panama may
have. supposing IL has any Of its own is given

II the United States some day really and sin

profoundly harmed for the last tvertv-two
years. II must be when my country awakens again
to her sense of duty and organizes representative

the countries mot those OF Reyes and Crom-
weld can easily be settled by arbitration or other
wise. Nothing could be more simple Justice pre-
siding and nothing more glorious for the powerful

DOWN WITH PANELS!
Let the Hall Of Records BE Puged
of False Marble, Says Purdy.

II President Lawson Purdy of the Department of
Taxes and Assessments has his way stonecutters
will soon chisel off from the marble Intel in hia
Office an imitation marble panel which Mr. Purdy
says is little less than disgrace to the building
Nearly every marble Intel in the Hall of Records.
which is supposed to be INTELLECTUALLY perfect is
surmounted by one of these composition panels
They are about twenty inches IN height and the
full width of the door. If Mr. Purdy succeeds in
getting the one in his office chiseled off. doubt
less all the others will follow. 1t is conceded
that they seriously mar the otherwise beautiful
interior OF the building.
To make matters worse. these panels as they
age assume tint distinctly different from the
real marble which they surmount, and. although
they have been up only little than year
they begin 10 Illustrate the folly Of cheapening the
interior architecture OF the Hall of Records. The
panels contain q blank shield with scroll work.
Done in marble as originally planned by the archi-
tects. they perhaps would have provoked criti-
cism. but in cement they are constant eyesore.
In referring to them yesterday Commissioner
Purdy said:
"A few weeks ago Milo r Maltble. at that time
secretary OF the Municipal Art Commission,
in this office. and I asked him who was response
BILE for the imitation marble panels the
bic Iintels He said that the commission was not.
and that he did not know who
1T was very great mistake 10 permit any such
work TO be done. l do why competent
workmen should not be sent through the building
with orders 10 scrape all the composition off the
walls. They needed over the dOorways.
The tint of the imitation IS markedly different
from the color OF the real marble. and the differ
ence seems TO grow more pronounced all the time
I certainly shall get rid Of the monstrosity in this
Office possible"
In the closing days OF the Van Wyck admnistra-
ton the Board of Obstinate and Apporuonment
tried money by changing the specifications
for the interior Of the Hall Of Records The board
ordered cement substituted for marble on all the
floors above the first and second. The Low admin
istration rescinded the action OF the Van Wyck
board and ordered marble generally used in the
building. 1t did not go far enough. however, and
the result is that over the handsome marble lin
tells of the doorways there are cement ornamental
Commissioner Purdy's Judgment OF the panels IS
sustained by nearly ell OF the occupants OF tho
building and Il is safe to predict that the make
believe marble Will be chiseled out at an early
day a . bG2
