Commission. !no decision is MADE SO FAR I Possible That Gen. Lassiter j May Go to South Amer ica to Act Temporarily in the Case. Washington, Jan. 7.— (A)) —Major General William Lassiter, army com mander of the canal wine, and a na tifvc of Petersburg, Vn.. has been sug gested to replace General John J. Pershing as central head of the Tacna- Arica prebiseitary commission in the ' event a substitute iR appointed to car | ry on the work in Aricn during Gen. I Pershing's return trip to this country j for medical and dental treatment, i Jt is possible that General Lasxiter may be named to act only teinporari ly for General Perishing, but s'hould the latter find it impossible to con clude his labors in South America the appointment may be made perma nently. As yet. however, no deci sion has been made on 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 ns one of the army’s best administra tors and when General Pershing was chief of staff he selected Lassiter as assistant t'nief. 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 tbe 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 Spams'll war he was recommended for brevet captain for gallantry in action at Santiago, Cuba.

Jan. 6.—Every time Ty Cobb 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, ns he went along, added others for times at bat, runs scored, and high est lifetime batting average. When tho season started, Cobb held the record for highest lifetime batting average in the American league, with his preentag of .361 for 19 years. At tbe end of his 20th year he had gained a trifle by hitting.37B. Cobb did not maintain the average be had set for himself in runs scored, bases stolen, etc., per season. But if not adding to percentages, he was alwnys 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 string 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 bits per season for nine straight year*. He did not add to that, nor to his record of 100 runs a season for nine consecutive years. He did not break the base stealing records during 1925, but he managed to ndd to his all-time total.

More Than Twice as Many Births As Deaths in Concord in Year According to figures compiled by W. M. Sherrill, registrar of vital statis tics for Concord, there were more than twice as many births ns deaths in Concord in 1925.

A total of 308 births were recorded with Mr. Sherrill but five of them were of births which oc curred outside the city limits and have no proper place on his report. “Several physicians in the city Imve not reported all births,” the report made by Mr. Sherrill states, “and for that reason it is practically impossible to get the total number of births. In December, for instance, only two phys icians and two mid-wives reported births, so it seems safe to predict that had a full report been made for the year, the totnl would be close to 350“ Os the total births 241 were white children and only 62 colored children. Males predominated among the new citizens, the report shows, 161 of the new babes beiug males and 141 fe males. Os the 62 colored children reported. 21 were illegitimate.

He recently announced his intention to retire following victories which ■made him master of Peking and Chih li provinces. the year, a survey of the report shows. ! In connection with the report on deaths, it is pointed out that the total is probably correct. “It is unusual for undertakers of the city to fail to report a death.” the report of Mr. Sherrill adds, “and for that reason we can be reasonably sure that the 147 deaths represent the total for the year.” Forty-one colored people died in the city during the year, the figures show, and three more females than males died. The records show 75 deaths among females and 72 deaths among males. Tuberculosis claimed 8 deaths dur ing the year, the statistics indicate, ; while 17 deaths were attributed to hemorrhages. Pneumonia clamed sixteen victims while six deaths were due to menin gitis. Apoplexy and various forms of heart trouble caused a majority of the deaths. During December nineteen births and twelve deaths were reported to Mr. Sherrill. The death report was complete, he has been advised, but as stated above, the births were report ed only by two physicians and two mid-wives. NO WARRANT GIVEN TO THE GOVERNOR Gov.
