Draws in the Ring.
Massachusetts Trying Cure for q
Boxing Evil Felt Here.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The
Massachusetts Boxing Commission has
set precedent by prohibiting draw de-
cisions. and to many local patrons of
tho manly art IL seems as II the New
York commission would be doing fine
thing If 1t followed the example Of the
Bay State boxing body. At least the
scheme could be tried.
Under the Walker law governing
boxing bouts in this State Il is neces-
sary TO have two judges seated at the
ringside for the purpose Of choosing
the winner OF each contest. but the in
dividual decisions are not made public
By the announcer. The latter simply
says: The judges have decided on
So and So,' or THE judges have dis
agreed" In the latter event the bur-
den Of making the decision Is put upon
the referee. and in majority Of cases
that official lodges responsibility by
calling the contest draw.
It is easy to see why the referee
shirks the responsibility he feels that
as long as two judges cannot decide or:
the winner there is no good reason why
he should be expected to do so. and
rather than injure the feelings or repu-
tations of the contestants he makes a
decision which leaves them with the
same status they enjoyed before the
beginning OF the bout QUEENsBERIr.

Police Station for Women.

The ideal thing would he TO keep
women away from police stations al
together. to keep out Of women's
lives all that police interference rep
resents. Unhapplly, this degree of
perfection has not yet been reached
by any community, however civilized.
The next best thing, unquestiondbly,
is to make women's contact with the
police as little dcmoralizlng to them
as possible.
III is therefore wise and humane
to open a special police station for
women and to place It's adminIstra-
ton. so far as Is possible, in the
hands OF women. Thus the rigors Of
detention may be softened 10 many
unfortunates and 10 those who have
gone astray whatever remains Of
self-respect may be saved as foun-
dation for bctterment.
Advantage has been taken OF an
abandoned station house far over on
the West Side OF the city TO get the
idea, which has long been talked Of,
put into operation In practical form.
The location is very unsuitable, the
house Is old fashioned, but perhaps IL
Is well TO get going on any terms. IL
the institution prove as useful as its
advocates hope 1t will not be difficult
In a year or two TO get central site
and modern building The present
place will do for experimental pur-
poses.
Two women OF experience are in
charge of the work, Mrs. ISABEL Coon

sIoner, and Mrs. MARY r. HAMILTON,
the first patrolwoman on the New
York force They have a large sized

Untitled Prisons.
Prohibitions Part in Decreasing the
Number OF Their Inmates.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In regard
10 the lack OF inmates in Napanoch
prison you quote Henry Melville. mem
Der OF the Reformatory Board, as saying
that business is bad for our prisons
and jails and II business doesn't pick up
some OF the prisons will have TO quit"
30 article also describes the Elmira
E..ormatory f as being only scantiiy
nl,ed," its population being reduced
from 100 70 less than 200.
Industrial activity is given as the
reason for decreased commitments to
prison. II is perhaps nearer the truth
to say that prohibition is responsible
for this lack OF penal business When
New York state has an effective en-
forcement OF prohibition It will also.
like other prohibition States. find half
its jails empty and OF no use for the
purpose for which they were built.

Housing Laws and Houses.

Undoubtedly the Court Of ApLeals
confirmation OF the validity of the
emergency housing legislation saves
this community for the while from
confusion twice confounded. No one
can fairly question the purpose Of
those who put through the legisla-
ton. and few will dispute the ex-
treme necessity Of that war measure,
so to speak, when thousands of fami-
lies were in danger Of being put into
The street with no place to go for
suitable shelter.
But tenants and law makers, like
landlords and investors, must face
the cold truth that the constitution
ality Of the legislation is one thing,
its effect on the housing shortage
itself Is quite another. IL is not de-
batable that investors will give a
wide berth to important housing prof
ccts so long as they cannot exercise
the customary use and control Of
their investments in such property.
1t is not 10 be ignored, therefore, that
while the housing laws do pcotect
AMI III the emergency ought TO pro-
tect the rent payers that are in dwell
ing houses, they gave neither protec-
ton and relief nor hope TO those who
are out Of suitable dwelling places.
More vet, In the long run these laws,
for the very reason that they are in
effect a prohibition Of new construc-
| ton. will make IL all the harder for
many Of those who are temporarily
secure In their dwelling places under
reasonable rents. 1t will make it
harder for them because as the
/ houses they now occupy wear out,
burn down or otherwise become un-
usable those tenants will be thrown
upon market which will have even
fewer housing places than 1t had
when the housing legislation was en-
acted
While the housing legislation oper-
ates. In short, and while the courts
uphold II. the housing shortage goes
from bad TO worse. II something Is
not done to build more apartment
and tenement houses, provided any
thing worth while can be done pend

An Old Stage Sensation.
Lydia Thompson Recalled by One
Who Saw Her as a Boy.

To The NEW YORK HERALD The
opening performance OF Lydia Thomp-
sons troupe OF British blondes took
place at Woods Museum The cause
OF the shift 10 Nibo's Garden is inter-
esting III retrospect
Woods Museum at that time was far
UP town. II occupied the site which was
the final home OF Dalys Theatre. The
great success OF the British blondes
made the change imperative from an
artistic and a business point Of view.
An excuse for breaking the contract
with the Museum was found in the
oisagreeable smell arising from the ami
mails then forming much OF the exhibit
at that place and which was declared
equally offensive TO the British beauties
and 10 their audiences.
The opening play at Woods Museum
was 'Ixion." with Lydia Thompson. Ada
Harland. Liza Weber. Pauline Mark
ham and Harry Beckett in the cast
II was a tremendous success. As far
as ! can remember this was entirely
spontaneous and beyond the expectations
Of the manager and the performers
Much or this success, apart from the
artistic merits OF the performers. was
due to their topical songs and the pleas
!ng melodies drawn from popular London
music hall successes which accompanied
them.

Spain's Turbulent Politics.

For years Sefior DATo, who was
shot by Syndicalists on Tuesday in
Madrid. spoke OF the impending clash
Of forces in Spain as "the great his
torical crisis" During most OF his
active life he was deeply interested
in Spanish politics; he was several
times Premier and no man knew
SPANS national needs better than he
The strife which he foresaw he felt
must come in the solution of her prob
lens, those Of labor, industries and
transportation, the extension Of the
franchise, the readiustment Of eco
nomic conditions made necessary by
the loss or her colonies and the end.
ing OF regionalism in State policies
and OF Spain's political isolation from
the remainder Of Europe 1t was in
the height of his labors to settle these
questions and to prevent the clash Of
forces which he feared that he was
assasslnnted.
The report from Madrid is that
Premier DAro was killed by Syn
dicallsts, members Of more or less
mongrel party numbering IN It's ranks
extreme socialists. communists and
several other radical elements. DATo.
however was man who in his In
tensely aggressive career made many
enemies For his activities as a
friend OF the Allies In the world war
his life was several times threatened
and once attempted by pro-German
sympathizers. Again, in the strife
following the split between him and
MAURA, II was said that he was
twice saved from assa ssinatlon by
timely warning received from politi-
cal opponents.
Except for the fact that his speech
on a labor measure in the Senate on
the day Of his death may have In
famed irresponsible adherents Of the
Syndicalists there seems to have
been no immediate provocation to ex-
plain his assassination by the Syn
dIcalists. They had, in fact. more
