STATE LABORATORY INQUIRY.
the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: May | beg your readers who are in
terested In learning exactly how true or
false have been the charges OF cruelty and
OF carelessness made by anti-vivsectionists
against the laboratories Of this state TO
support the Bayne-H oey bill in the Legis-
lature and. by writing to their Assembly
men and Senator's. beg a favorable vote
for It? The Bayne-Hoey bill provides for
n commission to investigate the labora-
tories and report to the Legislature next
year its findings as to the practice Of vigi-
section in New York.
TO oppose this bill will place anti-viyi-
sectionists in the unpleasant position OF
not wishing TO submit their charges TO
proof; while, on the other hand, stand
rat'' observation-disclosures who oppose 1t Will
place themselves in the scarcely pleasanter
position OF wishing to keep the public ig-
norant as TO whether those charges I'M
derstate or overstate the facts. Persons
wishing definite information about the eX-
act provisions Of the bill can perhaps oo'
tain II by applying TO the judiciary Com
mittee of the Senate at Albany, or the
Committee on Public Health of the AS
sembly. The bill has been favorably re-
ported by the Senate committee.

BORDER LINE FIGHTING.

The incident at Douglas and Aqua
Prieta need not be regarded as ominous.
Under other circumstances the actual
crossing of the Mexican boundary by
American troops might provoke grave
controversy. In this case it Is not eX-
pected to have that consequence. Ihe
technical invasion Of Mexico was not
effected until much more serious at
tack upon our territory had been made
1t was certainly a greater offence Tor
Nexicans TO shoot across the line ana
kill peaceful Americans than for Ameri-
cans TO march across the line and make
the Mexicans stop that sort Of work. we
do not think that the Mexican govern
ment will insist upon the right of Next
cans to shoot Americans across the
line or that II will resent the action
Of our troops in putting a stop to that
practice.
There is reason 10 suspect that In
this case. as IN some others, the field or
fighting was selected close to the Amerl-
can line with malice aforethought-that
is. with the studied intent or hope of
emhroiling Americans In the conflict and
thus causing complications between the
two governments. There has been little
secret made Of the desire Of the rebels
70 gain American recognition or else 10
nrovoke American intervention. In the
nresent instance that mischievous de-
sign is openly expressed. The disclosure
Of the design ought. however, 70 assure
IFS defeat The United States would be
reluctant TO engage in any foreign con
troversy. even if it Wee waeed without
such sinister intent In one which was
GOT III and prosecuted for the express
purpose Of dragging this country into 1t
this country will be the last TO join
The exact identity and association Of
the Aqua Prieta rebels are not disclosed.
but they seem 10 be more a. less separate
| from the MaderiSts Of Chihuahua, and
probably occupy politically, as well AS
geographically, q place midway between
| them and the anarchists Of the Califor-
MIA border. Certainly their methods are
not such as would commend them f.
sympatheiic consideration If they want
to continue fighting there Is room enough

PROGRESS or THE CENTRAL BAAh
TDE4.

The dissatisfaction with the lnterna-
e;oro1 Monetary Commission which IS
said 10 exist in Congress Is the more
mr. less inevitable result OF the way III
which the commission was maze up
When the law creating it was penang
The Tribune urged that bankers ana eN-
morris ON finance should he included III
lis membership so as to secure work
ing commission with special competence
and enthusiasm for the task. But II was
determined TO appoint only members OF
Congress. Now, with the lapse OF lime
the commission has come TO consist
largely Of men who are not members OF
Congress. but who nevertheless have no
special knowledge of financial problems
nor special interest in them.
Most of the commissions work has
i,een performed by Senator Aldrch ana
the one or two others who have par
t,cnlar ATTITUDE for It. What Mr.. Al
frinh has done has been especially valu-
able and there would be great regret
~ in any way the public should he de
rdved Of his services before banking
md currency reform had been hnaHy
tachieved. The Tribune has often had
occasion to disagree with Mr.. Aldrlch
concerning currency legislation, hut he
IL now the one man in public life of
r,ecuIiar competency for the task OF inn
s-,rovine the country's banking and cur
rencv system. He went at the work
which fell upon him as chairman of the
Monetary Commission with an earnest
nurpose to give this country banking
and currency system which would serve
IFS needs as well as the systems OF the
Great commercial nations Of Europe serve
theirs. He abandoned ali his preconcep-
-tons and has exhibited none of the OBJ
stinacy which has been characteristic OF
most currency reformers in this country.
He has been practical and conciliatory,
aiming not 10 force some theory OF his
own upon the country but 70 devise 2
system which would fit into conditions
as they exist. disturbing them as little
as possible
To what extent Mr. Aldricb has sue
cceded may be judged from the very
generally favorable response To his plan
FOR a central banking institution recently
nat forth. That was hardly more than an
outline. but if the Monetary Commission
+ called upon 10 report next December
and can be GOT 10 accept its chairman
views the outline might be completely
deycloned by that time. The favor with
which Nr. Aldrich's suggestions were re-
ceiyed was remarkable in a country sup

States Senators was brought up. and
many who would have liked TO make
some cogent comments on the tricky
form of the amendment did not have
sufficient opportunity 10 collect their
thoughts. Mr.. Mann, the minority
leader. made a plea for the usual lndul-
cence ON this high literary and aesthetic
ground: For the sake of history, II for
mo other reason. II would be better to
"bave a full discussion Of this question
"faked into The Record than TO have 1t
"appear that this House had almost
ignored such n tremendous issue" But
even that appeal TO family pride and
sensitiveness to outward appearances
failed 10 move the DIRECTORS, and II was
virtually admitted that some pure food
rule would have to be devised If leave

at the present session.

SALARIES FOR MARSHALS
Writer Sees Trouble Ahead for Law
yers and Real Estate Men.

To tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. OF two bills that have recently
passed the Senate and Assembly without a
dissenting vote and which will shortly be
before his honor the Mayor one is 10 make
tho office of City Marshal a salaried one
and the other is TO mako q charge of 81 for
the issuance Of q precept in summary pro-
ccedipgs The alleged object Of tho latter
is 70 provide a fund To pay the salaries OF
the marshals. about one hundred In mum
b.r. and while the advocates OF these DIS
are saving the salaries proposed are TO be
fixed bv tho Board of Estimate and Appo!-
tionment. vet she boast has been made y
tbe bills become law the salary will he $3.50
q year for each marshal.
The massage of these bills will mean Just
this that the inarshals will cease 10 be en-
ergotic. efficient and prompt in the per-
formance of their duties. At present the
general fee paid TO marshal to prepare
and servo precepts in summary proceedings
is g. There Is a competition among mar
sbals and process servers for this business.
sbouId the proposed bills become laws an

mary proceedings. then apply to a clerk Of
a municipal court, pay the precept fee aud
then hunt UP salaried marshal to serve IT.
II will mean an outlay of from at least
s. to $50 for each action.
Another bad feature OF tho proposed law
f. that II marshal with salary has an
execution 10 collect he will not be as ener-
retic In his endeayor to make collection

in the latter case unless lac collected nc

These bills mean graft for some one and

men should see TO It that the Mayor with

Of fire escapes Would rarely be regarded

{ FORTUNATE FIRE.

The fire at the Polo Grounds, dlsas-
trous as il was and embarrassing TO inc

popular of games, was really very tort
innate. and if II was untimely In the
season Of the year IL was most timely
in the hour of the day at which 1t oc-
Cured II is appalling to think Of what
might and probably would have hap
pened if it had broken out In mid-after-
noon. when the seats were crowded with
tens of thousands Of spectators. There
might have been Il loss of life compared
with which the death roll of any other

have such an establishment, which would

Mace is needed for baseball, for football
and for other games. and for athletic
contests for military displays. for open
