How China Might Be Helped.

An interesting suggestion has been made unOfH-
cialv in China Of a way in which the great powers
might materially aid that country in its efforts at
rehabilitation and progress without any real hard
shin 70 themselves That is TO agree to postpone
mept Of all further payments of the Boxer indem-
mites for period Of say, five years. Such sus-
nension was granted from November l. 1911, to Jan
rary1 1919. and the present proposition would mean
merely q continuation of that benevolent practice.
II is pointed out that China owes the powers on
account of that indemnity 337jOOOOO with Interest
at 4 per cent the principal payable in yearly install
euts and IL is reckoned that by the time the whole
IS discharged she will have paid fully S1OOOOO,OOO
She is required TO pay about $15,OOOOOO year
Nav the latter divided among the various powers,
is a negligible quantity. Not one of the powers
would miss the receipt Of its share But il Is very
considerable burden for China TO bear III the present
state Of her finances. TO be relieved of payments
Of S15OOOOOO a year for the next five years would
be great boon TO her.
The strength OF argument in equity Is immensely
Increased by the consideration that the Ddennities
are largely exemplary in character, rather than act
nal CONDENSATION for damages. and that they are
levied against the many account of the sins of

No Place for Technicalities.

Without improperly commenting upon a case
which is in sub judce, il may be said that
it is far from agreeable or reassuring to see the
Cohaan investigation conducted so largely on tech
nical grounds.
Some litigation may ittingy turn upon purely
technical points, though that is seldom wholly salts
factory But case IN which the integrity of the
supreme judiciary is involved should certainly be
determined upon the broadcast grounds of equity.
Ermine should not have to depend upon statute
of limitations for it's purity. upon the exclusion
of pertinent facts under some technical rule of evil
dence.
The investigating committee will commend itself
to public confidence and will serve the best interests
of the state by ignoring mere technicaties as far
as possible and by bringing out the whole truth
without fear or favor.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial OF Saturday and
your correspondent of yesterday seem to
take 1t for granted that there is only one
side TO the question OF Sunday baseball,
and that the law OF the state. the Sunday

Your editorial seems to me to be at
variance with the facts. You state that
the law as interpreted by Attorney Gen

peace OF the day and the commercializlng
of the day in this connection constitute

years since. restraining the police from
stopping exhibition baseball games, said:
This Is not the wholesome recreation
of the individual which the law Will not
prevent; It may be sport. but it is public
sport and a quasi business undertaking"
Again. you state In your editorial that
you believe there is no public sentiment

also believe the facts are otherwise The

In itself the policy adopted by Secretary Daniels,
that naval officers should have certain amount OF

GAYNOR'S ATTACK ON GoFF
Properly Ignored by Jurist, Says
Reader, Who Himself Makes Reply.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Mayor Gaynor's attack upon Judge
Con. on the occasion OF the dismissal by
the Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court OF the indictment against ex-City
Chamberlain Hyde. convicted Of bribery
in connection with the affairs OF the Car
negie Trust Company. was properly ig-
nored by Judge Con.
Every public official ought 10 be man
enough TO stand up like rock against
clamor." wrote Gaynor. This same judge
convicted series Of others in time OF
clamor. and their cases were all reversed
and thrown out of court"
Citizens OF New York have not forgot
ten how, when the unfortunate Bcckers
guilt Of the Rosenthal murder was appar-
ent to all. Mayor Gaynor shielded the
police System" from all suspicion Of

the same Idle talk about resisting clamor
UP To the very moment that Becker was
arrested The convictions that followed
I'm subsequent trials before Judge Con
have not been reversed and are not likely
10 be. These convictions resulted not
from clamor. but from justiilable public
Indignation. the impact OF which even Il
man as callous to public criticism as
Mayor Gaynor was forced to feel.
The ACCESSIBILITY of retaining capital
punishment is justly being subjected TO
doubt to-day, and It is not from any de-
sire to embarrass the chances OF man
lighting for life that the enormity of the
Rosenthal murder Is here referred TO-
But II violence and wrong intrenched In
the government itself could defy all pros

the most sinister crimes of modern times

and iustlce-the venerable jurist. Con, In
conjunction with the courageous District
Attorney, rendered inestimable services
TO this community. They faithfully dis
charged responsibilities. naturally weighty
and irksome enough hampered by the
opposition OF those who should have been

The role assumed by Mayor GaynOr

81 do not think that such thing could
happen anywhere else In the civilized
world except I'm the country from which
this Judge emigrated when young man.
They had long used judges like him over
there to cruelty people in political cases"
Judge COTS record In connection with
Irish political refugees and victims OF
English political oppression will compare
very favorably with that of Judge Gay
nor, who develops sudden and unsuspect-
ed sympathies with Irish political liberty
when angling for a Tammany nomination.
Mayor Gaynor is the true, the devoted
sympathizer with all causes Of political
and intellectual liberty that do not jeop-
ardize his political ambitions!

On the Dix Level.

In nominating Charles j. Chase, railroad engi-
neer. for Public Service Commissioner Of the I'd
District Governor Sulzer is merely trucking to the
union labor interests, he did when he signed the
full crew" bill. The Governor speaks Of his nomi-
nee as a practical railroad man. If Mr.. Chase
had talents Of the order required in the Public Ser
vice Commission he would have revealed them in
his many years of service on the railroad where he
has been employed and would have risen above the
rank of engineer
Mr. Leffingwell. Governor Suffers other nominee,
is merely a political nominee He is an upstate
innkeeper and has held some minor political offices,
being for one term in the Assembly. He has al
ways been an active Democrat" Governor Sulzer
puts it.
A good Democrat and a good Mon labor man.
The one thing which the Governor does not think
of is getting keeping good Public Service Com
missioner This is no better than Dix.

An Open Forum for
Public Debate
THE POOR WILL BENEFIT
Having the Tax on Buildings Not a
Rich Mans Measure, He Says.

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Robert o. r. Lodge recently
wrote you with reference TO the petit
ton to Governor Sulzer from the So
ciety TO Lower Rents and Reduce Taxes
on Homes. An interesting point in re-
gard TO the Morris Park racetrack sale
is that In advertising the sale instances
were given OF increases in land values
about as striking as the increases in
value of that land since the purchase OF
the track.
Mr.. Lodge refers sarcastically TO one
of the objects of the Society TO Lower
Rents and Reduce Taxes on Homes, that
of reducing taxes on homes and asks
whether IL does not include also the re-
duction of taxes on mansions.
Decidedly no. Most of the Fifth ave-
nue. mansions and those on Central PARK
and on streets leading to the east near
Fifth avenue will pay more taxes be-
cause the land is so valuable. The resi-
dents. including Mr.. Carnegie, who VIII
have their taxes increased by the hal'-
ing OF the tax rate on buildings. can al
ford To pay the increased taxes. Mt
'
ard the education Of the people regard
ing the necessity for this measure. But
the small home owners will have 10 pay
less taxes on their properties, because
their little homes are assessed for TWO
or three times as much as the land ana
at present pay two or three times a.
much taxes. SO. too. the tenants. wheth-
err in large or small buildings, will have
their rents reduced.
Mr.. Lodges solicitude for the SAVING
OF money to the owners OF big build
ings under the haived tax rate on ouiid-
ings is entirely superiiuous. They are
Il citing this measure because the!
know It will encourage the construction
of buildings and reduce rents.
Your correspondent has also faiieh
into the common error of assuming thS'
more buildings mean more people. They
do not. They mean more space for Tue
same number of people, and that speh
less congestion.

Things Can Be Done if We Try.

The saving of more than S2,0CO0o0 to the tax
payers of this city in six months is an achieve
ment that was well worth while. 1t was done
through the Fire Departments dual campaign for
better protection against fires and against profess
sional arson. 1t will be easier to repeat and even
to improve upon the performance in the next six
months and so on until we have formed the habit
Of having no unnecessary fires.
The circumstance is the more welcome as another
demonstration of the possibility Of effecting prac-
teal reforms whenever the public or the officials
go about it in earnest. We have already noted the
vast gain for life health and property in the refor
nation of Fourth Of July celebrations. The anti
splitting movement furnished another example, and
the list might be greatly extended.
Indeed, it is pretty safe rule to go by that every
reform which is really demanded by the public wei
fare is susceptible of accomplishment If men-and
women-only set themselves seriously to working
for it,

A Wild Wolf Chase.

BY what Mephstophelian trick has David Lamar
so mussed up our mentality?
He lied, he says because to lie was the essence
of the Wall Street game" We see him here in the
role of a sporting man pure and simple.
He lied, also to restore Lauterbach to the good
graces of Morgan and the Steel group. He com
bined here the sport and the phanthropist
But, failing the attainment of this object. he lied
to cause an explosion" At this point his reasoning
leaves us in a delirium.
The fuse did not fail him. The bomb has blown
him and Lauerbach into the limbo Of discredited
jackals. Yet his expressed object was not bust
ness suicide for both but Ito bring the fighting
out into the OPEN" "a war measure" he called it,
to force Lovett and the others TO make their charges
public that he might explain the entire situation.
And now he is satisfied! Satisfied with what:

The see-saw of varying reports from the Balkans

The one fixed fact seems to be the indescroaDly

whether the recent allies will fight until they have

whether the great powers will permit and encourage
them to devastae each other, so that they may be-

ENTIRE CHANGE OF PROGRAMME AT THE AUDITORIUM TODAY.

Everything at the Auditorium today the Kinemacolor films will be shown were the first three days, as everything results are marvellous.
 The headline act is a real feature act, and comes direct from Boston. It is the famous Wozerum Troupe of Royal Japanese Athletes. This clever troupe of Orientals were the fayorite acrobats of the late Jnikado, and it is their first season away from Japan.
 The StantonS-WfH and Ernie-are two of the funniest comedians in vaudeville, and their comedy scream, Who Lost the Shoes? is one continual roar of laughter.
 A catchy singing and musical team is that of Clayton and Russell, who have a neat, refined offering with good clean comedy and tunefuI music and songs
 The Kinemacofor films for today are all new, and the subjects are all of diff ferent themes. First there will be a great two-reei western comedy which Is riot of laughter, entitled The Note in the Shirt. Some people have said that Kinemacolor films do not show western pictures, and the management of the Auditorium wishes to state that kinemacolor shows every kind of film, from scientific studies down to west erns and sIapstick comedies. The other Kinemacolor films are: Bee Culture, taken in Westport, Conn; Ice Skating Carnival, On Hammerstein's Roof, New York, and Scenes in Algeria
