To THE EDITOR OF THE suH-sT: Who

nifty singing in Central Park and those
responsible for carrying out that idea

thing done that contributed a more hui

spectacle in Central Park.

BIG STICK" DOCTORS.
A Cry Of Alarm From . Citizen Who
Sees Merclless Tyranny Ahead.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: What
a feeling Of safety THE Sun has given
US this ummer during tho suspension
OF the Constitution by our Board of
Health! 1t Is the only paper that has
dared to c~riticise their big stick" meth
DDS. IL we keep on adding more and
moro power TO the health boards we
shall some day soon wake up to find
ourselves under the most merclless
tyranny that ever ruled a country.
The right TO life, liberty and the pur-
suit Of happiness is rapidly being taken
from us by our boards OF health. Mem.
bers OF the medical profession have be.
come the most numerous, most persist
ent and the most astute lobbyists in u
LEGISLATURES and In Congress. All their
efforts are apparently made for "the
good Of the people" but incidentally
every enor, OF theirs opens up large
numbers Of political appointments OF
medical inspectors Of various kinds. and
enormously increases our taxes and our
doctors fees. which we are forced by
law to incur whether We need n doctor
or not. We pay the bills.
II any other class OF business men
were allowed to make laws which forced
VI TO buy their goods. whether We needed
them or not. because they claimed II
was to our advantage 10 buy their goods,
We having no voice or choice in the mat
ter, we would rise up in our wrath. But
we ALLOW physicians to 10 just that thing.
and never make a protest. It's unfair
both to US and other business men to
give physicians such an advantage and
allow them such abnormal power over
Inc people.
Isn't 1t about time that the reputable,
self-respecting physicians, those who do
not spend their time lobbying, those
who are not seeking self-advertising.
but who really want to help the sick
get well. and not to make big fortunes,
got together To save the time honored
profession Of medicine from tho disre.

Veniselos the Man OF the Hour In
Greece,

The refusal Of DEMITRACOpouLOS
to form a Cabinet seems to leave King
CONSTANTINE no alternative but Ia
turn to the popular hero VENIZELOs.
At the great open air mass meeting
at Athens on August -. when GO.OO1
persons were addressed by him, the
leader of the Liberal party declared
that the Cabinet Of ZAIMIs was u "nu.

n very brief life. The reason given
by ZAIMIs for leaving the King in the
lurch was that us Premier ne could
not accomplish anything II the En-.
taNte Allies were to order things In
Greece. He particularly resented tho
appearance Of their fleet on the
rir9us and the seizure Of interned
German ships in the harbOr.
As a matter OF fact an impossible
rnsk had been set ZAIMIs: he was to
satisfy his fellow countrymen, who
clamored for war with the Teutonic
allies and Bulgaria, and he was TO

IzEIOs was almost brutully frank in
what he said about King CoNsTAN-

Facts nave not been developed which
allow the cause OF the disaster TO be
satisfactorily explained. Various the
cries have been proposed and various
explanations offered. They can only
be weighed with respect to their rel
alive degrees Of probability. Facts to
test them. to confirm them, to refute
them are missing.
First. the theory may be dismissed
as least plausible that a main menu
Der of the suspended span trusses
failed. and that the slippage from the
stirrups followed thereon. While at
sillery Cove. the point Of erection, the
span had rested on the very supports
on which It was being hoisted. More
over. while so resting Il had In place a
temporary construction track which
was removed before fiotation. and also
carried q heavy locomotive crane. As
a simple span. therefore. 1t had been
stressed higher than while II was
being raised from the river.
While, then. the theory of failure
not superinduced by other causes may
quickly be dismissed, somewhat more
consideration might. were 1t not for
direct confuting evidence, be given to
the theory that a difference In eleva-

combined with a lack Of stiffness,

But the evidence Is indisputable that
the W shoes at each end were at the
same elevation within a sixteenth Of
an inch. That theory must therefore

The explanation that would at first
hearing seem most plausible. that the
southwest lifting girder was pulled
from its proper place by an extra
force. must he dismissed as
lacking supporting evidence. In fact.
the evidence on this head IL directly
against any such theory. Not more
than twenty minutes before the span
slipped a very careful examination OF
all mooring lines was completed and
all were found. as they should have
been, in slack condition. What rise
there was in the intervening minutes
slackened the lines still more. Fur
thermore. the removal OF the lifting
girder would have required a very
considerable force.
The most plausible explanation Of
the failure IL that the casting inter-
mediate between the two pins on the
lifting girder on the southwest corner
broke. This casting, in fact the whole
