SUGGEST LASSITER AS SUCCESSOR TO ;GENERAL PERSHING The Present Commander of the Canal Zone May Head the Tacna-Arica Commission. NO DECISION. IS MADE SO FAR i ■ Possible That Gen. Lassiter May Go to South Amer ica to Act Temporarily in the Case. Washington, Jan. 7.—04*) —Major General William Lassiter, army com mander of the canal zone, and a na • titvt* of Petersburg. Va.. has been sug gested to replace General John .T. Pershing as central head of the Tacna- Arica prebiscitary commission in the event a substitute is appointed to car ry on the work in Arica'during Gen. Pershing’s return trip to this country for medical and dental treatment. J It is jiossible that General Lassiter i may be named to -act only temi>orari ly for fGeneral Perishing, but should the latter find it impossible to con clude his labors in South America the appointment may be made perma nently. As yet, however, no deei ! sion has been made oil this point, and probably will not be until it is de cided whether General Pershing will return to Arica. General Lassiter’s selection un doubtedly would meet General Per shing’s approval. He is recognized as one of the army’s best administra tors and when General Pershing was chief of 4aff he selected Lassiter as assistant JRiief. Another advantage of such an appointment would be the close proximity of General Lassiter’s post in the canal zone to Arica. General Lassiter entered the army in 1889, served with the Vera Cruz expedition, as military attache at the American embassy in London, and during the World "War rose to the (grade of major general. ,He holds the distinguished service medal for “marked success” of his commands in France. During the Spanish war lie was recommended for brevet captain for gallantry in action at Santi^go f Cuba.

Chicago, Jan. 6. —Every time Ty Oobb participated in a ball game during the 1923 season he established a new record. He began by besting his own rec ord of the greatest number of games played in by a major leaguer and, as he went along, added others for times at bat. runs scored, and high est lifetime batting average. When the season started, Cobb held the record for highest lifetime batting average in the American league, with his preentag of .3(51 for 19 years. At the end of his 20th he had gained a trifle by hitting.37B. Cobb did not maintain the average he had set for himself in runs scored, bases stolen, etc., per season. But if not adding to percentages, he was always adding to totals. He has tied Cap Anson’s record for batting .300 or better for 20 seasons, but he has this on Anson —Anson hit his three hundreds for 20 years all told, missing two seasons, while Tyrus 20 seasons have been consecutive. Cobb began his .300 hitting in 1906. Anson began in 1876 and for 14 years hit .300 or better, dropped out of the .300 class in ’9l and’92, re sumed in 1893 and ended his siring in 1897. Other records held by Cobb when the last season opened included total ■ runs scored and total hits . made. , He held the record for 200 hits per season for nine straight years. He , did not add to that, nor to bis recot-d of 100 runs a season for nine consecutive years. He did not break the base stealing records during 1925, but he managed to add to bis all-time total.

The records show 75 deaths among females and 72 deaths among males. Tuberculosis claimed 8 deaths dur ing the yeas, the statistics indicate, while 17 deaths were attributed to hemorrhages.

Apoplezy and various forms of heart trouble caused a -majority of the deaths. v< ' During December nineteen births and twelve deaths were reported to Mr. Sherrill.

Greensboro, N. C., Jan. 7. — UP) —Al- though a local firm, knows that rob bprs entered its safe, it. has been in * the unique positipn of being unable to determine whether or not the rob bers secured the several thousand dol lars which was in the safe. Inside the safe was a little vault, in which the money was stored. Rob bers entered the safe, it appears cer tain. but in so doing they wrenched off the combination dial, ami the lo cal firm was unable, for that reason, to get the little vault open. While employing experts to attempt the op ening of the vault, they were hoping, the day after the robbery, that the safe-openers had been as unsuccess ful as they in reat-hing the inner vault and securing the money.
