It Would appear from the statis tics, said Mr. Bailey that more peo ple are dying each year in Raleigh than are being born. It stands be fore the world today that so far as Raleigh is concerned internally it is a dying city. The city therefore stands before the world as one of the most unsanitary cities in the world.: "Heretofore these facts have been concealed, but every city now sets upon a hill. The death-rate here, exclusive of the state Institutions, is 27 per cent., over 70 per cent, in ex cess of the death-rate reported in the registration area in the United States. Every year 200 more people die here than should die, according to the records. Must Face Music. Mr. Bailey said Raleigh had to face the situation; it cannot progress un less something is done; we have no right to sit idle; and he hoped the doctors would do their utmost.

One hundred and twenty-live news hoys' paraded Fayctteville street with horns, last, night, and . ended in the Grand (ileal re., where they held tne st::ge after the lirst show for the ii-.-:, i newsboys' carnival, under the direction' 'of "Noodles" Fagan. I'"ai;nu iiad liis cohorts working iike a machine, obeying the word of command with soldierly promptness and u;nr hing, halting, turning, mak iviiii; a racket and silencing at the signal.' ' The Grand was crowded for the carnival and nearly everyone stayed till the 'last, number on the newsies' jubilee-was finished. -. Barrel-boxing, same lighting with heavy gloves, the Motif dive, the cracker eating contest and oilier famous Olympian games brought down the house as they suc cessively appeared. The Times of fice ami Grand theatre never had a show before 'that produced so much eriiliusias.m.. "Noodles' '' act was the hit of the show. Siiii-t nf tlie Pjirnric. I ne hovs gathered at 'I he Tunes otlice at 7 : ,;il o clock to be inspect ed. It as an exclusive lunction for 1 lie I lines newsbovs, so that each ciindi.-late lor a place was looked over ami certified to be the real ar ticle lieiore the outfit of a badge. horn, banner was given him. Ouhc a lew quacks, who sought a fellowship in the glories ot newsboys last night without previously quail- ' - ;s " fying by practical experience In that field of endeavor, were detected and cashiered. A newsboys' professional jealousy exceeds that of a lawyer or physician. No matter how good natured and easy-going a newsy la, he is always ready to expose a pre tender who takes upon himself the titles and dignities of a paper boy without having ever pursued that lawful calling. So no Pinkertons or finger-print experts were needed last night to show up the impoBters, and only the choice and prime'-of the young news merchants and route carriers march ed and witnessed or participated In the exciting scenes at the Grand. Fugan Heads Procession. Fagan took charge of an arrdy of young veterans, boys that had had experience in obeying orders and do ing the thing right. For that rea son there was no hitch In the pa rade, no break in the ranks or un steadiness in the marching order. Not a suggestion of the awkward squad or the raw militia appeared in the two thin red lines that stretched out in parallel columns two blocks long. A good sized crowd was awaiting the parade and It multiplied when the host came in sight. The horns had an able accompaniment in an Indian yell or rebel yell. There wa no dormant lung power In either file. Even the soda fountains were temporarily deserted while the pro cession was on. At the Grand the newsboys oc cupied the first seven rows of seats. "Noodles" gave them a little heart-to-heart talk before the curtain roll ed up, called their attention to the fact that they would not kick over the piano or destroy other valuable property if they were having a party at a neighbor's ho at,. Therefore, "Noodles" told them that they were likewise to recollect that now they were out for an evening in society. With a little more 327-a-minute verbal speed-burning on the allied topics of etiquette and good form. "Noodles" got a promise from his retinue to put the soft peaal on tho horns and on the conversation dur ing the whole performance, and they kept the promise to the letter. "It w u . some show, too," said the kids. But the carnival was the head liner for the evening. All the news boys tlie stage would hold were crowded on It at the close of the (Continued on Page Two.) 1 INVESTIGATION OF THE L10IIEY Washington, Feb. 8.
