Public Welfare to the Health De-
pdrtment-proposed in legislative
"rider' attached to the 1888 District
bill-has stirred professional and
ciDic controversy. This is the first
OF series of discussions OF the
principles inpolDed in the question.
BY DON s. WARREN.
Conflicting theories Of municipal
administration have come to head-on
collision in the proposal for placing
the control of municipal hospitals
and medical charities in the Health
Department., removing them from the
welfare administration.
One theory is that the Health De-
partment should be given complete
and direct control over hospitaliza-
ton and other medical care OF the
city's INDECENT patients, since 1t as
sumes responsibility for public health
conditions.
Opposed to this is the theory that
the agency which deals with the
INDECENT, the dependent, the handi-
capped and others needing aid should
have control over the whole pro-
gram of aid, including the medical
phases. 1t is now proposed to dis
card this theory, which has been
in actual practice for many years
Change Challenged.
As an immediate question, the move
Of the House Appropriations Commit
tee to bring about 4 sudden and
major reorganization of this kind
by the use of legislative rider
in an appropriation measure is chal-
lenged by advocates of the present
system.
Officials of the Board Of Public
Welfare insist there should be a
full, fair and open discussion OF
the whole subject, with an oppor-
tunity for presentation Of all the
facts" before action is considered
Any one member Of the House
could raise a point Of order against

II the rider" is removed from the
bill, advocates of the change In
control could adopt the more de-
liberate method of seeking substantive
law to change the present system.

COTTON IMPROVES
SLIGHTLY IN WEEK
Early ReCoveries of 81 to
S1.50 Reduced Sharply
by Crop Reports.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. October 2-Early re-
coveries of about 81 to Sl.50 a bale
in cotton prices during the past week
were followed by renewed easiness
promoted by larger crop ideas Octo-
Der contracts, which had advanced
from BIT to 842, eased to BIS and
closed Yesterday at 8.28, compared
with 821 a week ago
Reports of widespread holding
movement among cotton growers at
tracted covering and rebuying. but
satisfaction of this demand carried
most positions into further new low
ground since May, 1888. There was
sufficient Southern selling to supply
demand. which came principally from
trade sources on a scale down basis.
Disappointing action of the stock
market and other commodities. as un-
certainties in the Far East, Influenced
sentiment adversely.
European demand for spot cotton
held up we'll and exports there more
than Offset smaller shipments to
Japan. which thus far in the season
amount to 1926 bales. against 205 ,248
in the like period of 1886.
The new agricultural program as
outlined by Secretary Wallace was re-
garded as minimizing prospects for
drastic crop control legislation at the
next session of Congress.
The first private end-September
crop indication to appear placed the
outlook at 16.885, 900 bales. compared
with the September bureau estimate
of Is 098, 900 bales.
