NEW JERSEYS BIRTH RATE.
Apparent Decrease to BE Followed
by an Inv estigation.

JERSEY CITY. \. J., Jan. 25.-When
the State Board of Health began tabulat-
irg the birth rates for the different towns
and counties for 1900, It discovered that
the decline in the usual rate will be close
to 20 per cent.
Secretary Mitchell. of the State Board
Of Health, was the one TO first notice the
discrepancy. He found it TO be general
in TIE State, though there were local ex-
ceptions where babies were as numerous
as ever. The greatest falling eff was IN
the norhte-D sections of New Jersey, with
Hoboken showing the largest decrease in
dimInutiYe additions to the population.
Your falling off for 1900" wrote Mr..
Mitchell TO the Hoboken Board of Health
rs % per cent. Please let me have n
explanation of this remarkable decrease
as soon as possible
Other towns show almost as great a
setback. On the surface Secretary
Mitchell can find no apparent good reason
for the decline In fact, he is almost sure
that much OF it may prove TO be due TO
laxity in recording births
We have been asked TO explain" said
Secretary Harrison yesterday, of the
HobOken Board of Health 'and I am busy
now tabulating our birth statistics for
the State Commissioners 1t appears to
be pretty much the same all over New
Jersey, with everybody trying 10 explain
10 he higher authorities
In 1900 there were 1851 births report
ed and recorded IN Hoboken. In 1889 the
total ran above L969 which is an appar-
ent decrease Of 25 per cent. At the same
tine the population increased and there
shOCld have been a greater number Of
births instead OF a smaller one.
We are going to look up the matter
very carefully. II We find that births are
not reported as the law requires We viii
take steps 10 have the guilty punished"
Commissioner Steadman said some OF
the apparent decrease could be traced to
the rapidly Increasing number Of mid
