What Ward Stone SAYS.

= : : - ~. - =
Ward Stone, the president of the
Morris Improvement Committee, in
communication in this weeks Sun,
after reviewing briefly the history Of
the Improvement Committee and the
Harris Addition, has this to say re-
garding the division of lots by the
stockholders:-
From my knowledge. OF the mem
bers of that corporation / am con-
vincedothat they succeeded by means
of mental gymnastics unknown
to others in making themselves
believe that that act was just
ifable, but to me it looks
like robbery of a very aggrayating
kind, and it remains for Morris people
to decide what is TO be done abont It.
The improvement committee has no
money for suit, is in debt and tired
of begging, but will take the neces-.
sary steps to secure judicial deci-.
sion as to our rights in the case if.
the village council will not undertake
it." z.

CENSUS ANALYSIS.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Minneapolis Journal finds that
Minnesota, with 9 population of
1,751 1874, has 932 400 males and 8l8,-
904 females within her border, ac-
cordiDg to census bulletin. Divided
by color, there are 1,737,O36 whites
and only 1853 persons classed as
colored, which includes negroes,
Chinese, Japanese and Indians, taxed
and untaxed. Divided by nativity.
1.246,O76 of Minnesota's population
are native born and sos, l18 foreign
born. OF total white population,
l ,2s2, 1Ol are natives. OF native
whites, 426, $50 were born of native
parents and 806,32l of foreign
parents. OF native born inhabitants,
GA, 722 are males and 6O1, 354 fe-
male; OF foreign born, 287,768 are
males AID 2l7,550 females, and OF
total whites, 924,851 males and 3D..
1s5femaies.. OF foreign whites. 2s7-
47s are males and 2l7462 females
The colored population is divided IN
to 1856 negro males and 2,133 negro
females; 16I males and 5 female
Chinese, so male and / female Japa'
nese, and 1892 male Indians and
1880 female Indians.
From the foregoing figures it will
be seen that 542 per cent of the IN
hebltants of Minnesota are males and
IS 8 per cent female. that the foreign
born element constitutes 28.9 pei
cent of the whole; that 99.2 per cent
of the population is white. 24.S pei

AS was inevitable, the first aceep-
tance of the theory that the mosqul-
ITO was the sole purveyor OF yellow
s fever has been followed by a reae-
ton, several eminent physicians com
batting the idea Vigorously, and warn
ING the country against depending
on the destruction of mosquitoes
alone to check the disease. Among
these physicians is DR.. John q. Pur'
nell. of vieksburg, Miss, who was
state health officer, in charge during
the epidemics at Edwards, Miss, in
1897, and in jackson, Miss. in 1893,
who contributes to the current num-
her of the Philadelphia Medical
Journal an article on che mosquito
as an ''insignifcsnt factor in the
propagation Of yellow fever" Com
menting on the claim ''that the mos
quito, alone and unaided, is RESPONSE
BILE" for the yellow fever, DR.. Purnel'
expresses doubt as to the conclusive
ness cf the Havana experiments.
tsSeveral instances within the last few
years in the South" he says, "haYe
occurred where yellow fever has been
completely stamped out, without as
far as known, the killing of a mos
quito. In 1899 the disease appeared
in the Soldiers Home at Fort Mon
roe, and by establishing camps and
prosecuting sanitary measures the
epidemice was promptly checked.
No effort was directed toward mos
quito determination, nor was there in
the control of the fever at McHenry,
Miss. by the Marine Hospital Serv-
ice and the Mississippi State Board
of Health. The prompt measures
adopted by the Mississippi State
Board Of Health. at Clinton, Miss. in
1897, confined the fever. to one por-
: ton of the town, but their method
did not modest the mosquito. If the
combating of yellow fever has been
accomplished by controlling and des-
treying other agents than the mos
quito, under conditions where the
. mosquito has been absolutely ig-
nored and permitted to pursue his
own sweet way. then it seems the
mosquito has not been ployen guilty
of being the sole conyeyor Of the vel,
low fever"

What Happened December II.
On December II, 1900, the stock
holders of the Morris Investment Co.
and the amount of their stock was -
j. w. Harris, 800 shares; G.. E. OAR
Hing. 1850; W. L. Colyer. 1911; II. D.
Good, 100; D. T. Wheaton, 12S; De-
iyenney & Hodgson, 25;. Mrs. NJ. A.
Butterfeld, 80; and John Grove, So.
Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Darling had then
almost q controlling interest, aud
were in position to carry through
any plan they might desire.
The property then remaining unsold
was valued at $2s050, in which the
village lacked only $500 of being in
position to claim half interest.
Instead Of recognizing this half inter
est, they. took to themselves property
valued at So, $50 and rendered to the
village property valued at $S,800I
The piracy was made complete
when on Tuesday night Of this week,
the stockholders again met, and took
to themselves the $4,000 worth of
property which they last winter
offered to the village.
How The Lots Were Appropriated.
On Dec. II, 1900, meeting was
held at the Office of George E, Darl-
ing. Up to this time, all parties
interested had supposed that the
trust was being honestly administer
ed, and were congratulating them
selves that the sales had been of such
an amount that the village would
soon begin to realize from the sale OF
lots.
On Dec. II, 1901, this half interest
in SIS, 1850 belonging to the village
had been appropriated by the stock
holders to their own benefit, Mr.. D.
rs Wheaton alone dissenting to the
action,
The stockholders had taken to
themselves all the unsold lots of the
Harris Addition from opposite the
American House to the Great North
ern depot, and had sat aside to the
benefit of the village the compare
lively worthless property from the
American House to the sred barn..
No notice of division or of the in
tended division was given to the I'm
provement Committee, and the I'm
proyement Committee had no know
ledge of the same until the facts were
published in The TRIBUNE of that
week.
No attempt was made to account
to the Improvement COMMITTEES until
demanded, and then instead of pro-
ducing the books of the company,
DR.. Harris spent the time abusing
the newspapers which were trying to
obtain justice for the village. I
