ALLOWED CHILDREN TO DIE
Caused by a Greed for the Life Insur-
ance at Bay City, Mich.


ance at Bay City, Mich.
BAY CITY, Mich, June 5.-A sensa-
ton has been caused here by the pub
LEGATION of an interview with Sanitary
Officer Wyman in relation to the
deaths of certain children from al
legged neglect of parents in
cases Of diphtheria for the
purpose of securing the small
amount of insurance upon their lives.
The sanitary officer says that the cases
have occurred so often that he is forced
to believe that the shameful neglect
and carelessness of parents were due
to the fact that the lives of their chill
dren were insured. Experience has
convinced him that in several in
stances innocent lives have been sacri-
feed TO an Unsuitable greed for gain.
The policies range from SIS upward
and are carried by company which
makes a speciality of juvenile business.
Where children had died of diphtheria
because medical assistance was called
too late the fact was brought out by
the sanitary officers on inquiry of
parents as to their neglect that the
lives of the little ones had been in
sured. The unfeeling manner in which
the explanation was made left no
doubt in his mind that the lack of at
tention was premeditated, and that
little regret was felt at the result.

Fight at the Mouth of the Yalu.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The secre-
tary of the navy has received tive
cablegrams from Admiral Carpenter
commanding the Asiatic station, both
dated Tien-Tsin, September n. The
first says:
"Chinese routed, Ping Yang, 18th.
Sixteen thousand killed or wounded.
Viceroy lost feather and jacket under
edct prior to recent defeat"
The second one, which is regarded as
very important as it is the first official
dispatch from naval source, is as fol
| lows:
Naval engagement, Yalu, 18th. Chi
nese loss: Chaotong, Ching Yuen and
Chih Yuen sunk; Yang Wei on shore
partly burned; Chih Yuen vanished
during fight, probably sunk. Re
ported Japanese loss. three"
The cablegrams were unsigned and
as Admiral Carpenter is the only officer
in the east authorized to send unsigned
messages, no doubt is entertained that
he sent them. Confidence is also ex.
pressed at the navy department that
he has fully verified his statements as
to the Chinese losses, probably by per
sonal observation, as his flagship, Mo
nocacy, isthe enly vessel of the fleet
on the Chinese coast, the others being
in Corean or japanese ports.
The naval intelligence bureau ex
presses the conviction that no Chinese
armored vessels have been lost, as al
the ships mentioned in the dispatcl
are small unarmored cruisers.
