Sending Money Abroad.
Senator Cotillo's Three Bills "a
Protect the Remitter.

To THE New YORK HERALD: There
have been introduced into the State Sem
ate by Senator cotillo three bills AFFECT
ing express companies, steamship lines
and their agents who are engaged In for
warding funds 70 foreign countries One
bill grants 10 savings banks the right
TO receive money for transmission under
the same conditions as those regulating
private bankers. Another takes away
from steamship companies and express
companies the right TO transmit funds
without regulation. Stili another bin
requires such companies and their agents
10 take out a license before they can
conduct such business. This bill also
requires funds to be transmitted within
Ave days of their receipt
The individual who sends IS to q
or Poland has right to demand that
adequate supervision be given to that SIS
from the moment it leaves his hands
end Ia received by the agent. Senator
Cotillo has gathered mass Of data
proving that many agents retained for
an unreasonable time funds left with
them for transmission. In some cases
they waited for a moro favorable rate
of exchange In order to buy. for In
stance. lire at 3.75 cents which they
had already sold at four cents. This is
speculating with clients funds. If In
dulged in to a large extent on a rising
market II would be dangerous.
Under the existing law the remitter
whose funds are not promptly sent has
no redress. AS millions of dollars are
sent to Europe each year through this
means there should absolutely be some
sort of regulation to assure the safe
handling Of the funds.

Settling Wage Disputes.
Railroads Need the Quick Action
Taken in the Packers Case.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The new
Administration is to be congratulated on
It's success in the packers case: II is
encouraging to see that such men as
Hoover and Davis can obtain results
with such speed.
i suggest that the same plan be tried
in the controversy between labor and
the railroads. 1t was In January that
Mr.. Atterbury presented the railroads
case to the Railroad Labor Board In
Chicago. and from the looks Of things
decision Is long time off. This is
not a criticism of the Railroad Labor
Board. but on the other hand. with
changes In conditions coming so rap
idly, panics may come and go while the
hearings continue. Surely there must
be some middle ground on which both
sides can meet and agree.
] am glad that Mr.. Hoover is going
to make real Department of Com
merce out OF his office; is not the rail-
road problem the most important one
he could tackle In respect OF commerce? ?
Why not a committee to include the
Railroad Labor Board. Interstate Com
merce Commission, the railroads, the
men and Messrs. Hoover and Davis for
the purpose OF making the Esch-Cum-
MINIS law function and function quickly?
The situation demands quick action.
Common sense is all that is required.
We don't need new law or tho Plumb
plan or Government ownership. but we
do need some plan that will get quick
action and that is fair to both sides

st. Matthew Passion Sung at Festival
Rach's Devotional Music Impressively Presented BY
Oratorio With Soloists and Symphony Orchestra.

The second evening of the Oratorio
Society's festival OF music at the Man
haitian Opera House last evening was
devoted to Bach's est Matthew Pas
sion." The forces assembled by Mr..
Damrosch for the Interpretation OF the
composition comprised the festival cho-
rus a boy choir OF about 100 voices from
the Episcopal churches Of Brooklyn, the
orchestra Of the Symphony Society. and
for soloists Nine. Sundelius. soprano. OF
the opera; Nine. Marguerite d'Alvares.
contralto George Meader, tenor; Kei-
nald Werrenrath. barytone. and William
Simmons. bass.
A performance Of Bach's immortal
piece of devotional music offers mt.;zy
themes for comment The adequacy OF
the soloists might be the most popular
but 1t is not always Of the highest Inn
portance. The choral technic and style,
the conductors acquaintance with the
traditions. the value OF the ensembles
all might be discussed And naturally
there Is always temptation to dwell on
the singularly poignant and individual
beauties OF the work itself.
Reporters of many years service In
the field OF music easily Withstand the
temptation to write praise of the work.
Music lovers know its unequalled merits !;
others care nothing about them. 1t re-
quires both courage and love to present
the Passion music In these days. 1t Is
not period in which the austere con-
certions of Bach. his reflective and in
Prospective style and his profoundly
psychological methods Of exposition meet
with wide favor.
1t therefore was the more gratifying
that the concert of last evening brought
together such an audience. 1t was larger

tablished by his father forty years ago

of the first part and the end Of the work.
The chorus sang well, but owing to
some popularity In the atmosphere the
choral deliveries seemed less clear and
accurate than those of Tuesday evening.
The soloists were generally good. Mr..
Meader's style In the recitatives of the
narrator was sometimes questionable.

Dustless Flour Mills.
Automatic Sweepers Can Prevent
Dangerous Conditions.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Your ref

which the accumulation of dust can be

means that explosions would continue.
have been building grain elevators and
Touring mills all my life. and ! beg to
correct the statement.
Automatic sweepers and dust colec-
tors have been used for many years in
modern grain houses and Touring mills.
II Is not a question Of mechanical ap-
pliances, as that problem has long been
solved 1t Is possible. II one wishes to
go TO the necessary expense, to keep
grain elevators and Touring mills abso-
lutely free from dust accumulations, as
1t is possible to keep tidy home.
When j have completed the construc-
tion and put In operation Touring mills
have frequently caused a sign to be
exposed on every floor Of the mill offer
ing to give a half barrel sack of flour
free to any woman who visited the es-
tablishment on n sunshiny day and de-
tected dust beams In the sunshine pour
ing through any window Of the estab-
lshment The reason for this was that
the automatic swecpers. dust collectors
and fans. &C. were kept working 10 the
purpose they were installed.
Unquestionably the woollen tubes of
the dust collectors and also the trunks
conveying dust from fans to collectors
will need attention or they will become
clogged, but where this is done and the
mechanical appliances are kept in proper
working condition. and diligent super
vision is given to the picking up Of dust
OF product that becomes inadvertently
dropped on the floor by any OF the EN-
p'oyees. no Touring mill or elevator has
any license to become dirty in any por-
ton OF its structure or a menace to life
and property. G. Marvin HEATH.

What the Greeks Seek.

The Greek military expedition In
Asia Minor, undertaken without open
sanction of the allied nations or their
promise Of active support, has given
to the national policy of Greece and
to the entire Near East question a
somewhat puzzling and bewildering
aspect. The cable message from King
CONSTANTINE to THE New YORK HER.
AID published yesterday, in which he
set forth clearly and succinctly the
Greek position. Is therefore especially
welcome. CONSTANTINE explains that
the efforts OF Greece ere directed to
the pacification of the Orient within
the limits established by the treaty Of
Sevres, and that Greece was forced
into military action on account of the
constant resistance Of the Turkish
Nationalists TO these efforts and In
order TO protect her own rights and
the Christian populations Of Asia
Minor.
This Is not alone the position Of the
Greeks within the boundaries of the
modern state Of Greece, but Of the
Greeks Of the Egean shores and ~
the old ottoman Empire-the Greeks
who make up that underlined Hellenic
kingdom which Is formed on the ira
ditions, institutions AMI works Of an
Client Greece. 1t was the ideal of Greek
statesmen when modern Greece was

defended and championed until the

Last Roof Fixture Gone.
Change Brought About by New Way

". FoIoer In Telephone Repietc.
The last telephone roof fixture In New
York city has just passed into oblivion.
1t is not a great stretch Of the imagina-
tion to say that in the halcyon days of
roof fixtures the sunshine rarely pene-
trated to the sidewalks and streets In
downtown New York. With strand after
strand OF wire strung along poles or
stretched from roof to roof there re-
suited a giant web which produced a
semi-twilight, even in the middle OF the
day. Yet the citizens OF New York
in 1880 accepted this condition as n
natural phenomenon Of their daily ex-
istcnce. believing that unfiltered sun
light was reserved for the country or
the more open spaces up town. /.

any claims for less than $50 have to
come before a justice Of the peace.
The Justice IS very likely to be himself
the owner Of a State hunters ticket
and button and to be in sympathy
with the trespasser Hence 1t Is desir-
able to wait for double act of tres
pass In order to assert a claim for $50,
which brings the action before a county
court and properly qualified Judge.
This advice Is based upon long expert
ence. A trespasser once prosecuted In
this way does not return.
In posting lands use the commonest
kind OF cotton with your notice. printed
upon II. 1t is durable enough for the
few months Of open season and is easily
and inexpensively replaced. Do not use
fancy metal or painted signs. The bet
ter they are the more they inflame a
trespasser and the more quickly they
are torn down.
Old and weather beaten signs do not
receive as much consideration as a warn
ing as new, fresh looking signs. But
no signs get much consideration unless
supported by constant watching. A
mans land Is better left unposted un-
less he Is prepared to watch 1t himself
or hire watchmen.
One man can watch from 500 to 500
acres. Automobiles have lessened the
area that one man can properly watch
as they have very much increased the
number to be watched.
The land owner who can afford to
employ lawyers and watchmen has a
much more secure position under the
present law than the small owner OF
limited means. The state offers no as
sistance through its police or game war

Mr.. Damrosch conducted the whole work
with repose and abstinence from any

this there will be differences OF opinion.

world-.or which the Greek contends.
He demands lands In Thrace, Mace
donia and Asia Minor upon the broad
ground OF nationality. But al the
same time the Greek is the pro-
gressive, the energetic element OF the
population In the territory which he
claims. Figures based upon rciigious
or state censuses have so often been
produced TO sustain territorial claims
and have so often been found faulty
that such evidence is now always
questioned.
But the condition beyond cavil is
that the Greek is the business man
of every -Egean port, the principal de-
pendahle. upbuilding element In
Smyrna. in many Of the Asia Minor
coast towns. and strong financial
factor in the commercial life of Con
stantinople. When the Greek sees
people OF his race occupying this posi-
ton and subjected TO the barba, tiles
of Turkish rulers he is aroused to
their defence. -
But there is still another phase of
this question. These Greeks who
thrive under such adverse circum-
stances are the Greeks who are
needed to build up a nation. The State
of Greece is small and poor; 1t can
not support large population, 1t can
not reach a high position among ma
tions of the world. But the Hellenic
people under one standard would form
a nation as great as # not greater
than any Of the southeastern Euro
pean States. Peace would be an attain
lment TO them, people who have
scarcely ever knewn peace. 1t would
be the one thing which would result
in their upbuilding and it would be
the only means which would bring
the highest development to CONNER
cial and maritime state such as they
seek. CONSTANTINE. in thus placing
peace as the first consideration In
this war, reflects the greatest de-
sire Of the Greek people. 1t may have
an equally large place in the thoughts
of Europe, for the war rose out Of
the East and it is an East under
present conditions which may again
give it birth.
