The Essex ,was lying off the Vlrgllnia

Thirteen Congressmen were to be c
nominated by each party; complete *

Alex. J. Oroesbeck, of Detroit; Frederick

RAPIDLY. n

No less than six indictments and u
convictions have been secured within
the last two weeks under the new 11
law requiring the registration of
births and deaths. All these prosecu- "
tions wore made against doctors who c
for one cause or another had failed to t
register births. In most cases the s
doctors acknowledged that it was a 11
matter of negllgcnco on their part, o
pure and simple, and expressed an h
appreciation of the value and lm- u
portance of the law and promised C
not to ho delinquent In such matters r
hereafter. In such cases an effort *
has been made lo secure the mini- ^
