NEW Works. HEALTH.
Those Who Died Are Dead, But Others
Still in Trouble.

New York, Dec. 14.-Statistics pre-
pared by the health department show
that the general health of this city
during the last IL months as been
remarkably good and that the low per-
centage of deaths during the last few
years has been sustained. The actual
figures of last year, 1918 deaths per
thousand population. will be somewhat
exceeded. however, owing to loss of
life in the Slocum disaster, the extra
ordinary prevalence of measles during
the spring and the increase in the num-
ber of acute respiratory diseases Of
which pneumonia is the most serious
The total number of deaths last year
was 62,0.34. During the II months Of
this year to December l, $500 more
deaths were recorded.
1t is pointed out that 25 per cent of
the death rate is among infants and
that New York's rate is kept higher
than it otherwise would be in conse-
quence of the large number Of mortally
Ill patients coming here to be treated
in the hospitals and by specialists.

Three Commissioners Elected at

DOES A VACANCY EXIST 7
Republicans, Claim That There Is no
Legal Police Commission in the
City Of Astoria at The
Present Time.

A surprise was sprung at precinct
No. in the Second ward yesterday
when the votes were counted. 1t was
found that 15 votes had been cast for
R. v. Jones, F. ]. Carney and R. F.
Prael for police commissioners, and
the returns were certified to by the
judges and clerks Of election. 1t is
contended that under the charter, po-
lice commissioner should have been
elected at this election in place Of S.
S. Gordon, and that VIM. Barker and
w. c. Cook, having left the state, a
vacancy existed in their offices. 1t is
also reported that IL certificates are
not issued to the men claimed to have
been elected yesterday, the matter will
be carried into the courts. 1t is a
well-known fact that Mr., Cook has not
attended but two meetings and his
family has left the city and is no
longer resident of the state of oregon,
and, therefore, they cannot hold the
Office. BY all ordinary rules of muni-
cipal government, when man holding
an, office removes from the city or state,
his Office becomes vacant by opera
ton of law II this contention be true,
the election yesterday would be legal,
and new police commission will be
sworn in the first of January.

Heavy power wires pass directly over

electrical display accompanied the
burning of the power wires. The old
building had been unused for years.
but was formerly hotel. Its original
cost was $4,000, but at the tine Of its
destruction 1t was valued at about $500.
Today a resident of Oswego intended
to commence the installation of a fisn

hobo Is known to have occupied the
vacant building last night. and It is
supposed that his carelessness started
the fire, which was discovered at 5
o'clock this morning.
Many of the city street cars, which
get their power direct from the local
power plant of the Portland General
Electric Company. were not stopped by
the break, but such as derive their mo-
tive power from the big power stations
at Oregon City were stopped, and the
crowds of suburbanites were forced to
walk to work this morning. The reserve
steam power plant of the Portland
General at the foot of Twenty-first
street was started, and late in the aft
ernoon the service was again in COM

The main power plant Of the COM
pany is located at the falls of the viii
lamette where the purring dynamos
generate power equal to the strength
of many thousand horses. The wires

Of 10000 horses, and 1t is con-
sidered remarkable that some one was
not injured when the accident hap
pened. Had any one ventured near
while the big wires were whipping
about and scattering giant sparks it
is certain that some lives would have
been lost.
