DEtUNE IN BKR'
CULOSIS DEATBS
In the decade from 1901 to 19-
10, the death rate from tubercu
losis in the United States declin
ed from 196 9 for each 100,^0
persons living to 160.3, a
crease of 18.7 percent, while the
general death rate, including all
causes of death, declined only
one-half as fast, or at the rate
of 9.7 per cent, from 1655.0 to
1495.8.
These figures were given out
in a statement issued by The Na
tional Association for the Study
and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
They are based on data abstract
ed from reports of the United
Slates Bureau of Census, and
cover the registration area in this
country. According to the state
ment, the tuberculosis death
rate has declined steadily since
1904f when it was 201.6. On the
other hand, the general death
rate shows a fluctuation down
ward in general trend, but not
as steady as the tuberculosis irate.
The decline in the tuberculosis
death rate in the last ten^ yeare
means a saving of 27,000 lives at
the present tim^.
In certain cities, such as New
York, Boston, Cleveland and
Chicago, and in States like Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island and
Connecticut, the decline in the
tuberculosis death rate is much
more marked than in the country
at large.
The National Association says
that there are many factors wor
king together to cause the de-
chne in the. tuberculosis death
rate, such facto " as the change
in the character of our urban
population, increased sanitation,
and better housing, but probably
as potent a factor as any has
been the nation wide anti-tuber
culosis campaign. “It may be
foretold with considerable cer
tainty, ’ ’ the statement concludes,
‘ ‘that when the effects of the
present rapidly incre ising pro ;i*
sion for the care of tuberculosis
patients shall have become evi
dent, the decline in the death
rate from • consumption in the
coming decade will be even more
marked than that in the last
one.”

Attorneys Are SummiBg Up
' Wytheville, Va., May 13—The
Allen jury was today instructed
by the court on the la w of murder
conspiracy and self-defense, and
attorneys on both sides began
iSumming up the case. Floyd Al
len, first of the outlaws, who on
March 14, shot up the Hilsville
court and killed five people, to be
brought to trial exhibited more
interest than at any time since
his ordeal began.
Walter M. Poage opened for
the commonwealth; W. W. Coxe
opened for the defense and
commonwealth’s attorney, Stuart
Campbell, of Wythe county de
livered the last address today.
Six more lawyers are to speak
before the case goes to the jury
which can hardly be before Wed
nesday.
Four other captured members
of the gang are now awaiting,
and upon the verdict of the jury
in Floyd Allen’s ease probably
rests the coursetof the state in
others. It has been the content
ion of the prosecution that the
Allens hatched a conspiracy to
shoot up the Carroll county court
and came protected by metal
breastplates. The defense has
maintained that the shooting
was started by the court officers
—three of whom were killed in
the affray—who had a feud on
with the Allens.
Sidney Allen the ringleader
of the outlaws, and his nephew
Wesley Edwards never have been
taken and are supposed to be in
the Blue Ridge. Witnesses at
this trial testified that Sidney
shot Judge Massie.

t
Outlook for Wheat and Corn.
The first government crop re
port of the season gives the csn-
dition of winter wheat as a little
better than the trade expected,
but the difference is sligM. It
olso gestim'Btes that abandoned
acreage of wheat at about 6,000,-
000 out of 32,213,000 acres sown
last fall, which is the-greatest
loss of the kind ever sustained by
the wheat growers, of the coun
try. ■ ■ ■ '■
It is aitogether likeli' that\ far
mers plowed up wheat this spring
which .they would, have allowed
to.:.ru n-in to the harve^Jiivii^^^
years, With half ® crop or less
of wheat in sight they evidently'
regarded the chance of making'
a full crop of corn in its placed
with much favor. Corn is a temp
ting crop to rai^ie wnen it is sel
ling for cash in Chicaga at 80
cents a bushel, and for delivary
next September an 75 cents.
Corn should have a good chance
this year because the subsoil is
full of moisture throughout the
corn states. It is also an easy crop
on the soil, and it re^onds gen
erously to cultivation and prober
fertilization. When ripe, corn
may be allowed t3 stand in the
fieldSj whereas wheat and other
small grains must be cut at once
to prevent shelling. It will be in-
eeresting to watch ^he acreage
statistics for corn, because re
planting OK wheat land is easy
work. No doubt the acreage of
spring wheat will also be increas
ed, and conditions are favorable
for that crop as far as can be
judged at the presedt time.
Richeson Is Sane;
Must Die In Chair.
Boston, May 16.—Clarence V,
T. Richeson’s last hope of escap
ing the death chair next week
for the murder of Avis Linnell,
of IJyannis, expired tonight when
Govenor Foss announced that he
would not refer Richeson's peti
tion for cummutation of sentence
to the executive council.
The statement from the gov
ernor followed closely the filing
of the reports of the special in
sanity j,commision which declared
the condemned man sane al-
though subject to fits of hysteri
cal insanity. , , ^
The commision found that
Richeson was sane at the time of
the murder and that he is sane
at present.
In the death chamber at Charle
ston the prisoner has borne him
self calmly since he was trans
ferred from the Charles street
jail Tuesday. It was apparent
that he still hoped that clemency
would be extended to him, and it
was believed today this alone was
keeping up his spirits.
The statement issued by Gov
ernor Foss shows that the alien
ists found that Richeson’s family
was afflicted very generally with
insanity and that the condemned
man himself is a neurotic, a
somnambulist and a neusasthenic
and subject to hysterical insanity.

INC SOUTH
Washington, D. C., May 18—
Never before has there b^n such
widespread interest in the South
eastern States as is now .being
manifeated throughout the North
and West. The resDurces and
opportunities of the entire section
are better known than ever be
fore and the apents of the Land
and Industrial Department of
the Southern Railway Company
are meeting with encouraging
sucess in the solicitation of farm
settiers and the establishment of
new industries.
The growing interest of people
of other sections in the advant
ages of the Southeastern States
is summed up in the following
paragraph from a recent report
of the Western Agent of the
Southern Land and Industrial
Department:
"The work of thifi office re
veals the continued and growing
interest on the part of residents
of the North and Wert in the
Southeast, and its opportunities
in Agriculture and the various
lines of business, and our terri
tory was never before so well
and favorably known in the
sections in which we are sollict-
ing new business, or had as active
inquiry concerning its resources,
advantages and possibilities.
We are anticipating an active
spring and summer business.”
