The Panama Free Port Plan.

The suggestion of free port at Panama, which
was made yesterday at the Southern Commercial
Congress- is reminder that the isthmian canal will
be something much more than waterway. 1t will
be sort of central station, where many lines Of
commerce from all parts of the world will meet and
cross and where there will be opportunity for
vast amount of exchanging. These conditions will
naturally mean the building there of considerable
city devoted to trade and industry and especially
TO the transshipment Of commerce
1t is pointed out that the free port system has
chiefly contributed to the enormous development
of Hamburg, Hong Kong Singapore and other cities,
without of course, at all interfering with the regular
customs duties Of the countries in which they are
situated. free port at the isthmus would not
affect canal tolls the tariff system Of this coun-
try. It would mean that in a world emporium
goods could be bought and sold and exchanged
without payment of import or export dues.
Louis Napoleon once predicted that isthmian
canal there would develop the greatest commercial
city of the world The prospect Of such an achieve
ment Is not unreasonable, and it is carefully to be
considered whether the free port system Will not be
necessary for it.

Cure the Children's Ills.

1t is to be hoped the Department of Health will
obtain the increase in its budget for the Division
of Child Hygiene which it is seeking The total
amount of the increase is $4,000 For this the
bureau expects to hire nine additional nurses five
additional medical inspectors and eleven additional
dentists, to supplement a staff which experience
has demonstrated to be entirely too small to do the
work allotted to it.
There are more than 100000 school children in
this city, and the number now is about 10000
greater than it last year. In 1912 the doctors
and nurses Of the Division of Child Hygiene exam
med more than 100000 children for disease and
found that ~ per cent needed medical attention.
But the rest had to go uncared for, whatever their
ailments. 1t is believed that the increased staff
sought will be able to care for the increased school
enrolment this year, and perhaps do something
toward caring for the proportion Of the enrolment
unvsited last year 1t is poor economy to let minor
ills in children develop into serious ones for lack
of attention and eventually compel attention in the
ctys clinics and hospitals. This increased appro-
priation is for worthy purpose.

WHAT Mr.. SULZER SAID
He Did Not Come Out for Goldstein,
Say the Hartman Supporters.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; We note in to-day's Issue or The
Tribune that you state that Mr.. Sulzer
ca ne out last night for David Goldsteih'
the Progressive candidate. Your infor-
nation is not correct.
What Mr.. Suzer stated, on the author
ity of Mr.. Samuel Bell Thomas, one or
his closest and most intimate friends
who accompanies him on all his trips. was
that If the people did not know how 10
split their ticket they should vote the
straight Progressive ticket. That he was
not taking any sides. but was for the
strongest man to beat Aaron j. Levy. As
a matter OF fact the closest personal
friends Of Mr.. Sulzer are openly advocat-
ing the election of Judge Hartman.
Among those we can enumerate are
Colonel Alexander S. Bacon, the Rev. DIR.
Charles VI. Parkhurst, the Rev. Dr. Mad

THE SEAMEN'S BILL
A Reader Urges That Treaties Should
Give Way to 1t.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: was sorrowfully astonished 10
read your editorial on Saturday about the
seamen's bill.
I gathered from The Tribune Few
DAYS earlier that the bill In question had
been drafted with the approval OF mat
single-minded expert. Mr.. Furuseth, and
that Il made conditions little more toll
cradle and life little less recklessly en-
daugered in the calling Of seamen. These
provisions the editorial Of Saturday seems
To damn with faint praise while IL
urges the President To hesitate long be-
fore signing the bill for fear it invalidates
treaty rights. II any treaties bind the
United States TO continue to endanger the
lives OF our seamcn is il not time TO amend
those treaties?
When in England last summer | read
I'm English papers sad commentaries on
their governments refusal to care for the
lives of British seamen in Il think the
point covered by our new bill. Can the
United States afford to refuse 10 raise a
standard 10 which the wise and the honest
can repair?
California and Panama are examples or
what liberties We take with treaties when
something more valuable dare we sayD
than manhood is at stake.

FROM AN ANTI-vIvIsECTIoNISF
The Movement Is Declared Not To
Be a Fight Against Doctors.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: One after another the popular mis-.
conceptions of the anti-vivisection move
fneht are being corrected; but there still
remains an important one, fostered BY
VlVisectors and their agents, namely. that
the movement is a fight against the doc.
tors. This statement needs qualifying in
asmuch as many of its most valuable, or
rather invaluable, members are also i,
iustrious and valuable members OF the
medical profession.
NiVisection is not legitimate branch OF
the healing art; IL is an evil which, under
the honored name of Science" has crept
In and gained a foothold. Anti-vivisec.
uonists are fighting this evil and Of
necessity those doctors who advocate IT,
since no evil can materialize without the
man behind It,

The Ritual Murder" Infamy.

The Kie1f trial is chiefly significant as reminder
Of the narrow margin which separates some civ
ilized" countries from barbarsm. This persecution
Of the Jews a charge which is both monstrously
and absurdly false IS at par with the persecution
of Christians by the Romans in the days Of Justin
Martyr on the practically identical charge that they
used human sacrifices in the Eucharist and with
the mad rotings of Chinese against foreign devils
in recent years for a similar cause. There is no
more cause or excuse for this accusation against the
Jews than there was for those against Christians
The hideous libel was first uttered against Jews
at Norwich, in the dark days of King Stephens
reign. 1t has since been repeated many times,
chiefly in Eastern Europe. But there is probably
no more groundless calumny In the world none that
has been supported with less shadow of plausibty
and none that has been more invariably and COM
petely pilloried as false, even by the religious an
tagonists of those against whom it has been d.
rected. For Frank the author of perhaps the most
convincing vindicaton of the Jews, was a Roman
Catholic priest while McCau, Strack Delitzsch and
other non-Jews have written powerfully to the
effect In support of the accusation there has never
been one respectable writer.
1t Is unhappiy not surprising that the ignorant
and superstitous populace of the Russian provinces
should now and then revive the monstrous thing,
just as voudouism prevails in the recesses of Hay
and juju is still potent in the Guinea hinterland
The most painful feature Of the case is that the
Russian government gives 1t countenance by prose.
cutting suits against Jews for this cause instead Of
proceeding against their accusers 1t is notorious
that these charges are usually trumped up by mis-
creants whose design is thus to incite pogroms" in
which they will have an opportunity to plumber
Jewish shops and to commit still more heinous out
RACES and who to that end play upon the passions
of the most ignorant and degraded elements OF the
population. That important officers of the Russian
government should periodically lend themselves and
the name of the government to such infamies makes
us feel that the world has not yet wholly emerged
from the age Of Nero.

Murphy and Brady's Tainted "
$4,000.

This campaign is disclosing strange things year
ago anybody who proclaimed Tammany Hall TO De

for Matteawan Yet Tammany is claiming credit
for the impeachment OF Sulzer and Murphy Is sol
lemnly asserting that he gave back the SZo"V
which Anthony n. Brady contributed last faI'

II was strange that Suzer, candidate for Gov
ernor declined the money. 1t was natural enough
under those circumstances, for Murphy to ask
.What's the matter with it," But no faint having
been disclosed which would render it impossible
of use as legal tender it is passing strange that
Murphy should ponder the matter and then decide
tn hand this handsome contribution back
Unfortunately Mr. Brady is dead and the High
Court of Impeachment declined to let Beardsley tell
about this transaction the public is not likely ever
to know what allied the money. Brady was Gas, and
Electricity and Water Power to be sure. He was
The Interests, in capital letters. But that never
bothered Tammany before either in Murphy's reign
or prior thereto. Tammany has done business I'M
partially with the street railway crowd and the
elevated railway people, just as Tammany has done
business with the railroads seeking privileges and
the building material interests endeavorng to get
a building code favorable to their particular brand
Of freproofng
But Tammany never has been known to be
fnicky. 1t has been willing to do business with
the saoonkeepers and the gambling house proprle-
tors and has not SHE'D off very far from the brohei
keepers So it seems reasonable to believe that
something very, very terrible must have been the
matter with Brady's $4,000 to force Murphy to
return it.
1t is just possible Murphy didn't return it. in
spite of his assertion. Sulzer says that Murphy
considers it unlucky to return money once he has IL
in his hands. And maybe Suffers right; he's mad
experience enough with campaign contributions
and with Murphy to speak with authority on both
