I Six Baver Skins for Freedom of City Now York, Nov. 21.?"To on? free dom of the city?C beaver skins." Entries like this would have dottet the debit side of the expense account: of Foch, Diaz, Bentty, Jacques an< others of the brilliant process'ion o: old wold figures drawn to America ii the wage of the world war, had the; come about three centuries earlier. And instead of riding at the head o triumphal processions to the city hall of vnrious municipalities, there to re ceive the freedom of the city at th hands of respectful mayor?, to the ac companiment of bands and cheerini throngs, they would have had to fil petitions in court for their frecdor and take oaths not to offend ngains the lnw of the land. Conferring of the freedom of a cit; on a visitor has come to moan almos precisely the opposite of what i meant in the young days of Amer ica and?earlier?in the mcdieve days in Mcrrie England. "The orgin of the custom of grant ing the freedom of the city to alien is virtually lost in antiquity," sai Professor Harold McBain, instruct? in municipal government at Columbi University, commentng on the roun of brilliant receptions that have kep the mayors of New York and othe cities almost constantly in tall hat and frock coats in recent months. "It appears, howevor, to have grow directly out of the medieval organiza tion of industry on a monopolistic ba sis, and was originally an eeonomi measure, pure and simple. "In the old English borough i amounted to a license to carry on bus iness and, later, to vote. Without th status of a freeman, conferred by th grant, a man could not rise above th class of employe. The early Dutch settlers of Ne^ Amsterdam?now New York?set u a similar status, called the Burghe Right, in 1G48, as a protection agains 'Scotch Merchants and Petty Trad ers who spoil trade and business b underselling.' Persons not holding th Burgher Right were prohibited fror conducting business 'either wit Christian or heathen.' The fee wa six beaver skins. "Freedom of the city was provide for in the Dongan charter of 1686the first English charter of New Yor city, and its dispensation was entrust ed to ye mayor or any three or mor of ye aldermen. The fee by this tim v/aa reckoned in British pounds in stead of beaver skins?3 pounds, 1 shillings for the shopkeeper class an 1 pound, 4 shillings for handicrafts men. "Persons receiving the grant wer required to take the oath, 'Obeysan and Obedient Shall be bee to th Mayor and Ministers of this Citty and swore to take turns at the watel pay theif'taxes, and warn the illayo of 'Any Gatherins, Conventicles o Conspiracies made a trains t the Kine Peace.' "It was in the latter part of th eighteenth century that the practic of bestowing gratuitous, honorar freedoms of the city appeared. "Early New York records recite th bestowal of the freedom of the city o New York on Captain Sir Peter Wat ren for his exploits against th French and to Generals Shirlej Monckton and Gage. "Later there is an entry showin the honor was bestowed on three sail ors of a vessel lying in New York har bor, in recognition of their services i; helping extinguish a disastrous fire. The formality had nearly died ou when the termination of the wa brought a revival, designed to hono noted visitors. Professor McBain sai he new of no records showing the ori gin of the practice of delivering th "keys of the city" to persons receiv ing the honor. ?????

I.f Nov. 20.?The Philippine Islands Anti-Tubeculosis Society has appealed to John D. Rockej feller, Jr., who is now at Peking, i China, tq assist in the work of stampj ing out the tuberculosis which it is f estimated causes the death of 30,000 1 Filipinos every year. P Mr. Rockefeller in a reply cable, stated that he had referred the socif ety'a request to Dr. Victor G. Heiser, representative of the Rockefller Foun lation. and former director of health in the Philippine Islands, who would return to Manila from Peking within a short time, for the purpose of conducting an investigation of health f "conditions throughout the Philippines. According to the records of the Anti.uberculosis Society approximately k >00,000 people in the Philippines are suffering from tuberculosis at the t present time. Officials of the society expressed the belief that the Insular ?overnment would- make an appropriition wth. whch to start a health cam>aign, pointing out In support of this belief that Major General Leonard ( Wood who has frequently staled in 5 public speeches that the government not only could not economize in ext: pqnditures for sanitation, but that it would bp compelled to spend more . money each year for that purpose. Soc iety officials said it was the belief that substantial aid could be expected r from the Rockefeller Foundation in :he fight against tuberculosis, provided the government made the start in t in intensive campaign against the disease. i< Conference Opens 4 For 3 Day Session f ( r>j _ /->_? x-? nn ?' ivi?ci.->iuv, v ai., i'Nov. aiSi?une 01 the most momentous Colorado river * eonferenees ever held, international in P its scope, will open here December 1 8 for a three day session under aus' pices of the League of the Southwest, Over three thousand organizations in J Arizona, California, Colorado, Ne( vada, New Mexico, Utah, Oklahoma " and Texas will be represented and ' governors of all the above states have p promised to attend, according to Arnold Kruckman, secretary of the league.
